I love the go-with-everything-ness of jeans, but I’m always reluctant to put them on in the summer. Sometimes it’s just too hot, but other times, it’s just because jeans feel… so… un-summer-like. This season, I’ve found a perfect substitute: Sailor pants. Wide-leg styling feels much breezier, and somehow, the looks is much more festive. Plus, [...]

It seems the cell phone has ousted the watch as the new standard for time-telling devices, but when you’re active, toting along your phone just isn’t practical. Enter the Wooloot Wave Ion Sport Watch. Unlike many bulky, serious-looking sports watches, this fun, functional, durable rubber watch is more like a funky accessory. It’s ultra lightweight–it [...]

Ok, so I’m going to take a break from my usual beauty blogging, to bring you this uninterrupted message on my new obsession: these Ann Taylor LOFT slim cargo pants.

I love wrap bracelets. They have a certain sexy-yet-carefree quality that I envy and aspire to. Naturally, I fall in love with the super-pricey ones made with real gemstones and gold nuggets, but there’s beauty to be had at every price point and for every personality. Whether you like your accessories edgy or earthy, preppy [...]

Where have I been? Target launched the Liberty of London for Target collection back in March, and I don’t know how on earth I missed it. Fortunately, this beautiful and totally-on-trend collection of clothing and housewares is still going strong, and new products are still launching. Both the home and fashion collections are full of [...]
