Wear to Work Vol. 1 2007-04-24 13:28:00 What to wear to work is a daily dilemma for me. I'm up at 6:30 a.m and have to be out the door by 7:30, which only gives me a 1 hour window to get my caffeine hit and get fabulous. I'm a jeans girl myself, because I hate laundry and jeans give me more wear for my wash... if only the rest of the outfit was that simple! At that hour of the morning, I can barely muster a cohesive thought, let alone assemble a kick-ass outfit. I usually just end up grabbing whatever's clean and consequently spending the day looking like well, I just grabbed whatever was clean.This has inspired me to do a series of "What to Wear to Work" posts, featuring mix-n-match pieces that are safe to grab-and-go! So stick around...Today's What to Wear to Work:Trench Style Shirred Jacket $48Lace Pin Tuck Bow Tie Blouse $28Pointed-Toe Enamel Stiletto $48Chez Toi Leopard Side-Zipup Satchel $28Total (without the jeans): $152

The Skull and Crossbones Trend 2007-05-02 11:09:00 <a href="http://polls.blogflux.com/poll-10844.html">Take the poll</a><br /><br /><a href="http://polls.blogflux.com/">Free Poll by Blog Flux</a>With his introduction of the skull print scarf way back in '03, the fashion industry places the blame squarely on the shoulders of Alexander McQueen for this one."The Skull
Scarf" as seen gracing the necks of Sienna Miller, Liv Tyler, Lindsay Lohan, Ashlee Simpson, Kate Moss, Mary-Kate Olsen, Nicky Hilton and Nicole Richie among many, many, many others, has officially launched itself into fashion orbit, and 4 years on, has inspired the skull and crossbone trend to enter the fashion mainstream appearing on anything and everything from designer jewelry to your next door neighbors dog.Truth be told, I will always be just a little bit punk, so personally, I love the skull and crossbone trend and no, you absolutel

Last Minute Mother's Day Gift Ideas 2007-05-05 09:46:00 This year I'm shopping for both my mom and my sister who had her first baby late last year. Now, I don't mind spending more on the special people in my life, but I figure, I could spend a sh*tload on plain looking gucci bags (designer... eew!) or I could get them a bunch of stuff that is not designer, but still totally way cuter and a heck of a lot cheaper!I steer clear of clothing as a rule, because those two are always lying about their sizes. Perfume is too impersonal in my opinion, and the women in my family hate the stuff anyway. If you're stuck for gift ideas, accessories are always the way to go. What girl doesn't love handbags, jewelry and time-pieces!?Clockwise from top left:SilveWhite Topaz Watch $125Crocodile Embossed Buckle Closure Bag $38Glint of Heart Necklace $62Silver/ S.P.

The best of plus size summer swimwear 2007-05-14 03:44:00 Plus size swimwear has come a long way in recent years, so no excuses for not getting in the water this summer! The beach after all, should not be reserved to floss clad stick insects with fake tans and fake boobs. Here are my picks:L - R: Halter One Piece Swimsuit (Kiyonna) $98 Pleate-front Tank Suit (Silhouettes) $69 Lush Life Oceanus Miraclesuit (Lane Bryant) $140Pricey? Yes. Timeless? YES!And some do's and don'ts for picking out your own:Do do a one piece. Cut low around the legs, but...Don't do boy legs. Though they do cover up your booty, true, they also cut straight across the top of the thigh and highlight width.Do flaunt you assets, but..Don't show off too much! A hint of cleavage, leaves more to the imagination.Don't do the skirtini. Just don't. Leave them on the racks where they belong. Seriously.Do use a sarong if you want to cover up. A real sarong should fall to your ankles when tied around your waist (learn how to tie one here). If you disagree, well... you must
