Good afternoon,
ladies. Welcome to my tale of torture. You are about to witness a
terrifying ritual of masochism that involves a woman, her breasts
and one very uncomfortable bra (say in Vincent Price spooky voice).
Mu-ha-ha! About a year ago I purchased a new bra from a very famous
lingerie… Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (6) | Blog

I have a problem. I can't stop buying boots and
I'm not getting rid of the boots I already own and this

After years of randomly
stumbling upon pairs of jeans--either because a friend didn't
want them anymore or they were on eBay
for $13.99 and somehow fit or there was one weird style left at the
bottom of the… Read More »

Because I've been at this eBay game for a while (my first "eBay Obsessed" blog post was two years ago, almost to the day. Anniversary! Woo!), I often get annoyed at how the site has changed, at how the prices are steeper, the competition is fiercer and the selection is not always as good. Read More »

This is the third season that I've wanted a black leather jacket. I put it off the first year because I thought I couldn't pull off a motorcycle style (faux toughness=could go very wrong); the second year I caved with an inexpensive pleather version (my thriftiness was soon rewarded with disaster: one sleeve melted on a hot NYC radiator), and, now, many moons later, I feel I must have a leather jacket or I may not be able to get dressed this fall.

"Cheap" is a
mostly dirty word in the fashion writing business. If something is

It's true. I've waxed
rhapsodic about all things red about a zillion times. Red is my

I've decided there are
two things no one thinks about buying in the depths of summer: 1.
Coats (I literally tried to give away half of mine
this weekend with no takers), and, 2. Underwear. The
height of lingerie season always seems to fall squarely in
romance-forced… Read More »

This is a situation that happens often, especially around this time of year: I'm at, like, a wedding or something, meeting complete strangers. They find out I write for Lucky and say something lovely, complimentary and good natured such as, "You must be such a good shopper! I'd love to go shopping with you." And I immediately feel...terrible. Like I've been caught in some huge lie, like I'm the fraudiest fraudster in Fraudtown.
See, I am not what you'd call a "good" shopper. Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (31) | Blog
