Have. Want. Need.
Vests continue to serve as favorite layering tools. And it's time to get furry. Leather, denim, and studded vests are too weak right now — it's high time fashion meets function. I recently scored a cheap blond fur vest from American Eagle Outfitters, it even has a cute plaid lining. I've pretty much been throwing it over everything, and I'm trying to find a chichi enough event to wear it with a Read more
The unstoppable Victoria Beckham is at it again in yet another smokin' hot ensemble. Not only is she donning an on-trend Winter wide brim, peep her luscious leather trench. It's the crème de la crème of outerwear. She'll have no problem crushing the bone-chilling temperatures and gusty winds in this leather baby. Yes, such buttery soft goodness is pricey, but think of it as a lifetime Read more
Leggings lovers unite. I must admit, I was unsure about denim leggings until I tried on a pair. Let's just say I was very pleasantly surprised. Not only do they look like skinny jeans, they're much more comfortable. I like wearing my Charley 5.0 leggings with a top and blazer for a more polished look, and with flip-flops and a tee when I'm feeling like a surfita. You might be resistant, Read more
I have a soft spot for Members Only. Back in the day, I rocked the Midwest in my khaki Members Only jacket. In recent times, my nostalgic nature got the best of me, and I strolled on over to eBay to purchase a larger version of the jacket to fit my adult body. I still love it, and wear it often. And now, the iconic brand, who recently launched a denim collection is now coming out with a line of Read more
I remember wearing my Members Only nylon jacket in high school thinking I was the coolest kid in town. Well, times have changed, and so has Members Only. Come Spring, the company will be offering up some cool denim. The collection, retailing at $140 for a pair, will focus on skinny-leg cuts and shorts made of Japanese denim. With eight styles in tow, look forward to seeing a variety of Read more
90210 cutie Jessica Stroup is looking subtly tough in her baby blue leather jacket. Not to mention this jacket makes her baby blues pop. Gorgeous. You've probably already snatched up a black leather jacket, and if you're craving more buttery leather, shake things up with a colored leather jacket. I recommend sticking to jewel tones — purple, blue, burgundy — or neutrals. Let's face it: when Read more
"When you put it on...something happens." Yeah, you become a skinny white dude with permed hair and a porn stache--without the hipster irony. Anthony Geary put his "General Hospital" acting to good use in this commercial from 1982. I really love when he and his be-fro'd lady friend both go off into the sunset in tuxedo shirts, bow ties and, of course, black Members Only jackets. Classy. Read more
I never thought I'd say this, but I kind of miss Jake and Vienna. The Bachelor vets brought lots of crazy to the franchise and gave viewers a reason to tune in. The only contestant from this season of The Bachelorette who could possibly make the cut for Bachelor Pad, the offshoot that is more blatant about capitalizing on unstable cast members, would be Kalon. He's this season's villain, who made Read more
This week on Mad Men, we get a visit from Paul Kinsey, who has gone from progressive, pipe-smoking copy editor to confused Hare Krishna devotee. The Hare Krishna movement was founded in NYC in 1966, the year that's coming to a close on this season, and attracted beatniks like Allen Ginsberg and Beatle George Harrison, one of its most famous followers. The International Society for Krishna Read more
It's hard for me to even write this recap because I'm so mad at Grey's Anatomy right now. The death of a major character in the season finale has been teased for weeks, but it's not left until the episode's final moments. In fact, it happens in the first 20 minutes, and once it does, it's hard to focus on anything else. I'll save my spoilers for below the break, but this is definitely one of Read more
