Shouldering Off: 6 One-Shoulder Dresses from ModCloth

TBF — Wed, 16 May 2012 04:00:23 +0000

The Deal: 6 One Shoulder Dresses from Modcloth The Lowdown: Symmetry is highly overrated. Period. There’s something about unevenness that shouts rebellion, hipness and style at the same time. Think the side ponytail, or uneven hemlines. It’s cool, edgy, and oh-so-fashionable. With wedding season, graduation parties and summer nights out just around the corner, nab yourself a fab one-shoulder number. Here are six of our faves from ModCloth. Shop: Modcloth [......]

Here are five colorful bags from Nordstrom that we love. Shop: Nordstrom [......]

Sneaking in a Pair: 6 Stylish Sneakers

TBF — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 00:00:32 +0000

The Deal: 6 Stylish Sneakers from Endless The Lowdown: Remember the bi-annual pilgrimages to the local shoe store to get new sneakers (most likely Keds) while growing up? Somewhere between the ages of 8 and eighteen, sneakers were replaced with kitten heels, then regular heels, then stilettos, then--well, we're not sure we want to know. Sure, sneakers may take a backseat to our fancier shoes, but nothing can beat a good pair of sneakers, comfort-wise. Here are six sneakers that combine fashion and comfort from Endless.

Sure, there are the love triangles and clandestine trysts and whatnot, but the real drama is in the awe-inspiring, lustworthy clothes. While we can’t transport ourselves to mid-century (or sneak our way onto the set of “Mad Men” to “borrow” a dress or two), lucky for us ModCloth has a bunch of vintage-inspired pieces that bring a little of the 1960s to us.
