Bashful Bump Maternity Suits: Review
May 5, 2011
Let's be honest here - baby bumps, however precious, can be difficult to dress.

Judith Ripka Jewelry

7 Deadly Sins of Fashion: What to Throw Away From Your Closet
May 2, 2011
I don't really believe in the "if you haven't worn it in X years, throw it away" philosophy. Look, I have shoes from 1996. That's like before some of you were born. Srsly, do you stand in front of the closet in frustration, wondering what to wear? Part of it may be that you need to clean it … [Read more...]
