Once again the seasons are changing and I am starting to put away my tank tops and sandals and pull out my sweaters. And like every year I am thinking of what I want to update my wardrobe from last year. Here are a list of a few of things I am considering…. A great [...]

Fashion Failure = my style + my public transit commute

kate — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 05:35:42 +0000

So I am having a bit of a fashion crisis at the moment. About a year ago I posted about my plans to transition to take the bus instead of paying the outrageous parking costs. Well it was a successful experiment as I am still taking the bus, and I really like it (for the [...]

Want to be more attractive: Wear Red.

Ladies, the next time you are on a date don a red ensemble. Based on a study done at the University of Rochester men are more attracted to women wearing the color red. Men tend to percieve women in this color to be more desirable of more sexually attractive. I don’t own anything in red [...]

Kate Shops Amrita Singh

One of the things I read when I was perusing Rachel Zoe’s style tips, was that one way to jazz up any outfit is with the right jewelry (so obvious I know). But one of the ways she suggested doing this on the cheap was with cute vintage, or inexpensive resin or acrylic bracelets. So [...]

Fabulous Find: Target Limited Collection

kate — Sat, 06 Dec 2008 04:25:14 +0000

Last night I was on my way home from Seattle Geek Girl Dinner and I decided to drop into Target to pick up a teasing brush. While I was there I decided to shop a little and hit up the clothing (it is a recession and Target is cheaper than Nordstrom) and Christmas (because I [...]

My Obsession: YSL Ankle Bootie

kate — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 21:33:56 +0000

If I can only have one item for Christmas this year it would be these YSL Ankle Booties. I am currently in the market for a cute pair of shooties or booties to wear with tights and skirts (my favorite “right now” fashion trend) so when I spotted these YSL booties I immediately started crushing. [...]

Kate Shops Ann Taylor

So right now Ann Taylor and Ann Taylor Loft are having a “Friends and Family Sale”, these typically mean that friends and family get the equivalent of an employee discount for some point of time (and in Ann Taylor’s case that means 30% off). Ann Taylor makes great “grown-up” clothes that are well made and [...]

Good Stuff: Swarovski Jewelry

kate — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 16:58:44 +0000

When I first started dating my boyfriend my good friend took him aside and said “You have to buy her some real jewelry–all she wears is that cheap fashion stuff, she needs real jewelry.” Well part of the reason I never bought real jewelry was because I had a hard time spending a lot of [...]

My Love for Rachel Zoe

kate — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 17:50:19 +0000

Rachel Zoe. I seriously love her. She gets lots of criticism in the media–she has a famed fued with Vogue editor Anna Wintour, and Perez Hilton, one of my favorite celebrity bloggers, often writes posts about her that are less than flattering–but I love her. Besides being an entrepreneur–she started out as a fashion editor [...]

Spluring and Saving

kate — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 16:06:12 +0000

With the economy being what it is, I had resolved to start saving more and spending less. However I haven’t been particularly good at sticking to my mantra. I bought this amazing dress, and I have no idea where I will wear it. In fact, I don’t even know why I bought it, other than [...]
