I may want summer to be here, but the truth is that it just isn’t.  Posting about sunscreen and stubbornly wearing skirts won’t change that. I’ve noticed that I have unwittingly fallen into a winter beauty routine: I wake up, get ready for work, hop on the bus and immediately put lotion on my hands. [...]

The end of the year is so dangerous for me. It’s especially dangerous this year: I’ve just resolved that I’d like to buy a house, which means “save save save”…which actually means “quit buying all the things on the internet.” But mooooooom, LovingEco is having a saaaaaale. LovingEco, an ethical sample sale website that we [...]

I now own yet another pair of oxfords. What you are seeing are Lindsay’s feet (plus her amazing socks and new red skinnies) in a pair of Wanted Graham Oxfords. We spent hours – hours! – at our local DSW trying on every shoe known to man and posting them on Broke & Beautiful’s Facebook, [...]

Do you watch Breaking Bad? I do. I love it. I am possibly in love with the actor who plays Jesse. This may be because, when I was a teenager, I seemed to gravitate toward bad boys of middling height and a skinny frame who are only bad because ~they’re tortured~ and whatever. Also, shaved [...]

I stumbled across Saucony years ago while at the mall with my family. That day I picked up a pair of bright pink and black Jazz Originals, and wore them ’til they died a cruel, shoey death. Then I picked up a pair of green and orange Low Pros – a little less cushioning, a [...]

I don’t wear much makeup day to day – just some mineral powder and the occasional slip of mascara – but I love wearing it during the holiday season. This lady wants to embody that Christmas spirit, you know? It’s one of the reasons I love the annual gift sets that cosmetic companies create: those [...]

Alert. Alert. This is a message from the Girl Problems System. All of my bath products seem to run out at the same time. This is super very important, mostly because it’s annoying me today. We’re only two months from the holiday giving season (please panic with me in three, two…) so I’m trying to [...]

Some of you may already be vegan, some may be considering trying it out this month, others may just prefer to avoid leather goods as best they can…and you’ll all want to get in on this Matt & Nat sale. You read that right: MATT & NAT is offering an extra 10% off their sale [...]

Some people make shoes out of crappy materials and call them “vegan.” I’m not talking about those today. I’m talking about those boots that are intentionally vegan – animal-free, made by companies who give a damn – that you can wear as we head into fall. (Seriously, all I want to wear every damned day [...]
