Collaborating
I’m often peripherally interested in Target’s designer collaborations–and buy a few pieces here and there–but not enough to line up for the opportunity to buy crap I don’t really need. By 1:15pm, more or less […]
What’s In Store
Back on Target
Target is where you stop in for shampoo and tights and end up spending over $100. I now know the secret to staying roughly under $50 ($51.99 in this instance) is having to walk your […]
Almost Famous
I was afraid that I’d outgrown Rainbow and Strawberry and other cheap apparel stores of my relative NYC youth. I am happy to report I have not. Famous Brands, a local chain, is more of […]

I'm not sure if my tastes have changed or if it's an unusually ugly era for fashion right now. I still have a job, I'm even freelancing a little on the side (currently doing research […]
