V, Paper Doll Edition

Talk about making my day! Working through my reading list at Bloglovin’, imagine how surprised I was when I hit The Jersey Gem and saw this! I told y’all in my last Sunday Coffee that Meg (of The Jersey Gem) was talented. Well, if this ain’t quite the rendition, I don’t know what is! And here’s [...]

WVW: A Wedge and a Prayer*

Loving these new wedges. And praying I don’t fall off them after what happened to me last week. Some of you know that I twisted my ankle—not in platforms, not in five-inch spikes. No. You’d think so, right? Y’all have seen my heels. Nope. I ate it in flip-flops. Don’t ask. All I can say [...]

Sunday Coffee: A Jersey Gem, Dita, and Uvo’s little luxury…

The Cream Fashion illustrations from Meg of The Jersey Gem. I know I have an affinity for all things Joisey, but this gem of a bloggerista hails from Jersey, of the Channel Islands off the coast of Normandy, France.

Worker V: 1.0

I was recently asked via Formspring about my work attire, and more specifically, if I dress more conservatively for work. The short answer is: I do. In my own way, of course. The person who asked the question followed up with an email to me, in which she wrote: I’ve always worked in the cultural [...]

Sunday Coffee: Chicken Cutlets and My Conspicuous Consumption

The Cream Jersey Shore Chicken Cutlet Toss Schadenfreudian bittage so good that I just could not help myself. This actually happened two episodes ago in the current season of Jersey Shore, but I saw a replay this week and still cackled riotously through the entire thing. Even if reality TV isn’t your thing, you must [...]

Friend Friday: Conspicuous Consumption

Is fashion blogging nothing more than conspicuous consumption? Well, if you’re shooting outfits and giving details about who designed each item you’re wearing, and perhaps even listing where you purchased items, I think that’s kind of a no-brainer. Inconspicuous people don’t post details about what they buy and wear on the Internet. While the expression “conspicuous consumption” [...]
