Just when I think I have exhausted my mom's closet for vintage treasures, I find some booty. Not too long ago I found this silk aquamarine tank. It's oh so Alexander Wang Spring '09. And the best part? It was free! Upon closer inspection, the tank got even cooler.I found these little tabs on the inside of the straps that snapped closed. I hadn't seen one of these for years.

I hate rogue bra straps as much as the next girl — except when it's an on-purpose style statement, of course. Sometimes they're just not appropriate, and it's times like these that The Strapper ($14) comes in handy.

One of our favorite springtime trends (and a great look for a night out, too) is wearing a pretty lace bra or bandeau with a slouchy, low-cut tank. A bright or printed bra under a semi-sheer tee also makes a fun fresh and sexy look, and as we saw on the Spring '12 runways, bralets are back in a big way too — at Dolce & Gabbana, Nina Ricci, Proenza Schouler, and more, models showed skin in Read more

Check out this recipe for vegan cookies by girlA from The Dairy Free Diva Recipe Exchange. I am so relieved and happy that these cookies turned out. I found myself in a funk today . . . Missed my workout this morning and struggled some more with an essay I've been trying to write for the last four years. Yes, that's four years. Then, to add insult to injury, dinner turned out to be a disaster. Read more
BCBG cited Spring’s fresh energy and an urban, global spirit as inspiration for the Spring 2012 collection, which was dedicated almost entirely to soft, breezy dresses. Silk crepe and sheer chiffon fabrics were cut to flow away from the body via asymmetric hems, thigh-high slits, drop-waist, knife pleats, and peekaboo shoulders. There was a sporty element too, thanks to exposed bands in Read more
