Gotta Love A Bold Belt
Having recently discovered the joys of cute belts, I’ve been belting everything in sight and steadily building my belt collection. I love this supple leather skinny belt for its classic style and totally of-the-moment fuschia color. It would look awesome with everything from frayed denim cutoffs to a little black dress — so pretty and versatile!

10 Reasons Big Boobs Are Awesome (And 10 Reasons They’re Not So Awesome)
I read Kate Fridkis’ recent essay about small boobs with a mix of fascination and envy. As someone who’s had double Ds since junior high, the small boob experience is totally foreign to me, although I’ve wished for smaller boobs on many occasions. Large breasts are idolized in pop culture, but the experience of actually walking around with two watermelons attached to your chest? Well, sometimes it’s awesome, and sometimes it’s decidedly not awesome. Here’s why… Keep reading »
Watch This: A Basset Hound In Slow Motion Is The Best Thing Ever
Why, exactly, is this slow motion basset hound video so mesmerizing? It could be the dramatic close-ups of those big puppy eyes. It could be swinging folds of basset hound neck skin. It could be those hilariously tiny legs. It could be the peppy pop rock soundtrack. I’m guessing it’s a magical combination of all of the above. Check it out and see for yourself!

I’m trying to grow my pixie cut out, which means I’m going to have awkward hair for a while. What kinds of hair accessories do you recommend to keep my locks in check? – Recovering Pixie

Here are a few hair accessories that will make the process much, much easier. Keep them in your arsenal, lean on them in times of trouble, and you’ll be rocking long locks in no time…
Do Not Want: Loin Cloth Belt
This might look like a leftover from the costume department of a Capital One viking commercial, but it’s actually a “Peplum Waist Belt” by BCBG Max Azria. Apparently you’re supposed to strap it on over a simple dress for some instant peplum action. All we see is a glorified loin cloth. It’s on sale for 50 bucks, in case you’re into that kind of thing.

Weekend Project: DIY Ruffle Necklace
I love the look of this ruffle necklace — it’s so delicate and feminine — and apparently you can make one yourself in about 10 minutes. You do need a sewing machine, but if you don’t have one, I’ve found that bringing a bottle of wine and a box of cookies over to a crafty friend’s house is an excellent solution.

This Week’s Fashion by the Numbers
It was a wild and crazy week in the fashion world. In addition to the runway shows taking over New York, everyone was talking about the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, and a few major fashion brands floundered financially. Meanwhile, we drank wine and plucked our eyebrows (as per usual). Here are the top 10 style stats that caught our eye this week… Keep reading »

Dude Looks We Love: Tweed Jackets
Track jackets are sporty. Leather jackets are dangerous. Yellowjackets are annoying. But a tweed jacket? Oh, a tweed jacket is the best jacket of all. Jackets and sport coats in tweed are intriguing–they’ve got a rich texture and a nice weight. Tweed has brilliant connotations: it is the preferred fabric of professors and writers. It adds an intelligent vibe to any outfit that you just don’t get from a slouchy hoodie. Whether worn with matching trousers or thrown over a plaid shirt and jeans, a tweed jacket looks mature, masculine, and put-together. Tweed is a classic fabric that feels thoroughly modern. And in case you couldn’t tell, we’re really excited to see this classic menswear piece make a comeback. [Slim Fit Tweed Jacket, $85, ASOS]
