Fashion is Sweet: Mapel’s Site-Wide Anniversary Sale

October marks Mapel’s  2-Year Anniversary, and to celebrate, they’re offering a site-wide 20% discount – including their New Fall Treat’ies and Sale Items, through tomorrow night (October 31). I love these beauties anyway – they’re local, woman-owned, have really competitive prices and offer amazing customer service – but this sale kind of puts me over the [...]

To Covet: in a land where trees are queens

Occasionally, I like to post things that I just plain want – and can’t buy.  Ergo, the semi-regular To Covet: a category that shows one thing that I’ve been coveting, but really can’t afford…or have no space for…or just plain shouldn’t buy for one reason or another.

What About Wednesday: Halloween

[[Once a week I ask the same bleary-eyed question: “What about Wednesday?” It’s my day to post whatever the hell I feel like, with no regard to fashion, eco-consciousness or, occasionally, even coherent thoughts.]]
Though I still don’t have a camera charger, I owe you guys an actual photo of me.  It has been too long!  Please forgive [...]

Sustainable Sales: Juice Beauty

The organic beauty products just keep coming!  Starting today, Gilt.com is having two sample sales on Juice Beauty – one sale for the ladies, one for men - an organic skincare line that boasts more than just cleansers and lotions.
“As Mom always said, don’t forget to drink your Juice. Founded by a team of women committed to making [...]

Getting Graphic

I don’t care how into fashion you are: everyone has and loves at least one graphic t-shirt. It could be that one with the pink kitty your mom got you when you were seven, or the brand new $75 designer tee your friends think cost too much.  Either way, it’s perfect for casual Fridays, under [...]

Sustainable Sales: Matt & Nat…Again

We’ve seen a lot of sample sales on natural beauty these past few weeks, but what I’ve really missed are the sales on sustainable fashion.  I need eco-luxury when I’m out of the shower, too, you know.
Apparently, Gilt received my telepathic messages, because their budget-conscious site, Gilt Fuse, is having a sale on vegan handbag designer Matt [...]

Can I Just Wear a Pretty Dress for Halloween?

I spent the weekend looking for my Halloween costume.  I’m impressively late in doing so – especially since I’m hosting a Halloween party this year – but…well, okay, I procrastinated.  There, I admit it.  You happy now?
It doesn’t help that while I was shopping, I found tons of things I loved, and none of them [...]

Links á la Mode: Thrify Chic

Thrifty Chic
Edited by Retro Chick
There’s a thrifty feel abound in this weeks Links á la Mode. Maybe we’re all saving money for Christmas, or perhaps we’re all those recessionistas I hear so much about. Oranges and Apples spends a week living out of a capsule wardrobe to prove it can be done, Further Ado tells [...]

Another Sustainable Sale?! How About Three?

First of all, that sale on Peacekeeper lipsticks, glosses and nail polish ends in eleven hours, so if you still want to check it out, get on it.  (If you’re curious how their polishes translate on actual nails, check out Elle’s review of Peacekeeper’s polishes here.)
In addition, The Fairest seems to be on a roll: they’re having three [...]

Give Me Rain, Give Me Snow

Today’s post at The Demoiselles features warm, cozy sweater dresses, and as per usual, there were a few eco-conscious pieces buried in the poly blends…

Elle (my best friend, business partner and budget blogger at Broke & Beautiful) found this Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent Long Navajo Sweater Dress…which is all kinds of amazing.   [...]
