for the nerdy boyfriend

somehow this watch looks like something the Mario Bros. would wear, if they indeed needed to tell time. its a throw back to old school graphics that i insist would be a hit with the guy that isnt necessarily "trendy".



i've been known to be a little bit of a tomboy myself, so if your boyfriend is anything like me, always wanting the latest and greatest gadget, he might like the touchscreen watches from Tissot. yes...you read correctly. touchscreen. and they've got a variety of colors and styles. they even have one for deep sea divers. ahhh, touchscreen for you scuba lovers. what will they think of next?

kick conservative to the curb

ok, so maybe we wont kick conservatism THAT far to the curb. i guess cynthia rowley's beaded, lacy embellished tights are a little too much for the office. but wolford tights continue to push the envelope without going too far. its all about adding a twinge of glam to your business suit. dressing the part without sacrificing your style. check out these super hot stockings, tights and dress socks.

sex up your underwewar drawer

have you ever bought yourself a pair of REALLY sexy underwear, not because you wanted to show off for your significant other, but because you just knew you would look good in it? ever wear it under that boring, conservative suit you're forced to wear to work? instantaneously, you feel sexy, even tho no one knows what you have on underneath. and let me tell you...that does WONDERS for your psyche all day. jenna leigh, a philly designer has an awesome collection of unmentionables that are all aimed at making you put the sex back into your underwear drawer. so throw those granny panties away! wait. you shouldn't own those anyway...

getting bang outta your buck

vintage shopping has become more and more of a craze as time progresses. the problem is, many girls don't know exactly how to find quality, vintage merchandise in hidden in the racks. enter melody fortier. her book "The Little Guide to Vintage Shopping" should be able to answer any questions you have and help you distinguish the difference what is truly a vintage item in comparison to a dress that's just 20 years old. and for those of you who want to enjoy a successful shopping trip with out all the reading, well its less than 200 pages and has lots of pictures. no excuses.

boot up

every girl is beginning to have a pair of wellies and we all know how i DESPISE being like everyone else. so when i stumbled across the Sorel website, the colorful rain/snow boots snatched my attention in a hurry. probably the best part was the mixing and matching of patterns...but on the website you can find even more to choose from: lime green knee-high wellies, "boots with the fur", and even heavy duty snow boots with grips on the bottom guaranteed to keep you from an embarrasing wipe-out in front of people as you cross the street.

bibs and baubles

can u tell christmas is coming? i've seen santa in the malls already and i think a couple places may even be playing carol-ish music. yup. its that time of year. and in honor of it, lets all put on our favorite jewelry...you know, the one's that look like christmas ornaments. maybe that's why i love them so much. i've always had a fascination with the big round orbs. in any case, throw it together with a little ribbon, lace and some chains and we have ourselves a winner.

all in one

so what are YOU wearing this fall/winter season? a lot of the styles have remained from last year (altho im highly against anymore liquid leggings) integrated with a couple new ones. one of my celebs that have been emulating my favorite look for fall: Amerie. her two latest videos "Why R U" and "Heard Em All" encompass the dark allure this season with seeds of luxury in the form of fur, chains, leather and sky high heels.
