so doing this in my closet with the pretty bags and boxes that i just can't seem to let go of from my first louis vuitton speedy, tiffany & co. engagement ring, calypso clutch, kate spade bracelet and prada purse. and let's not forget my shopping bags from milan, little palm island and london...i think i'm going to need a bigger wall.thanks again pinterest!

"a watch really doesn't gowith this outfit, daddy."~ cher, "clueless"i pinned this tokyo crystal wrap watch a while ago on pinterest from shopbop, but it doesn't make me want it any less now! it's listed at $165, but i found a much thinner, brown version at loehmann's a couple months ago for only $15...which normally runs $135!

all of my running buddies know that lululemon athletica is my brand of choice...i like to run in style. i don't look so hot (ok, ok, maybe i do temperature-wise) after my three-hour runs, but as least my plaid and pastel shorts still do after logging in 20+ miles.because the brand is a little pricey for athletic apparel on my low budget - though 100% worth it as it's cute and holds up time after

i'll admit, i haven't been the biggest fan of the ann taylor brand in the past. i'd pick up a printed cardigan here or there, but never came out with much more. lately i've noticed that both stores, ann taylor and loft, have seemed to step it up a notch though, especially in the accessories department.since i don't go in loft that often, i almost missed a couple great finds this week. luckily for

if you are looking for the epitome of palm beach style, just find a pulitzer. and maybe i'm biased because we share the same initials, but if it's the fresh and fun florida fashion you want, turn to kourtney pulitzer. the style heiress was practically born to be in this industry, and she hits the spot with her boutique on dixie highway. i haven't visited the store just yet, but i've heard good

so apparently when the temperature hit 50 degrees in palm beach county this morning, my friend/co-worker julie and i both had the same thought: "this would be a good day for gap's khaki patterned tights, a pair of brown boots and a ruffled, button-down, navy blue dress..."even funnier is that we are probably the two that already look the most alike in the office. very strange, but i guess great

hospice evening was a showcase of high fashion this weekend, before, during and after oscar de la renta's spring line came down the runway. while running around with photographers during the cocktail party, i spotted a number of women in dynamite dresses and accessories - patty griffith's gorgeous one-strap, deep purple gown; ann heathwood's elegantly embellished, tiered pearl necklace; saks palm

every once in a while the job - and even working on a friday night - offers perks that make it all worth while. viewing oscar de la renta's spring 2010 line up close and personal tomorrow night is one of those times. i'll be at hospice evening 2010 at the breakers to benefit the hospice foundation of palm beach county, and even though i'll be working with photographers most of the time, there

while some of you are just getting ready to head out to toys r us at midnight and target at 5 a.m. to get in your first bit of black friday shopping, i'm looking forward to finally taking a day to sleep in. i know, it's weird for someone with a shopping addiction to not want to go out on black friday, but i'd rather wait a day at home rather than in a checkout line for an hour, or shop online so

with the stint of "cold" weather (60 degrees, if even) we experienced in south florida, i got excited because the change of season means i finally get to tap into that portion of my closet that only gets used about five days a year...or maybe eight if i choose to sweat it out a few times. but being a florida girl, i just can't bring myself to spend a ton of money on a winter wardrobe, which is

one man's trash is another man's treasure. at least that's the thought behind many consignment and thrift shops, and a thought i've had in my head many times. it started with kids' old little league tees and boy scout button-downs from goodwill when i was in college, and by now i've thankfully moved on to vintage and designer consignment shops.my latest find is carnaby street at downtown at the

this is kind of a double mmq this week since i posted about fsu's white-out game friday in my fashion line of the day, but i noticed a line of men's college sports shirts this weekend that i've never seen before and decided to give our guys a little more love.football fashion choices for men can be a little boring, unless of course you're one of those guys who chooses to sport themed boat shoes

"we are definitely excited to wear the all-white uniforms. it's historic because fsu has never worn white uniforms at home before, so it's going to be fun to be a part of that. it should be exciting for the fans, and we want to see them in all-white, too.''~ florida state university's senior free safety jamie robinson, from the miami herald photo courtesy of seminoles.comthis proves my point

new york fashion week is over and it's back to the real world. from jason wu and l.a.m.b. to prabal gurung and nicole miller, i was addicted to twitter posts and live blog feeds last week to see what was up next on the runway. i still can't stop thinking about the frenzy of metallics, leather, florals, spectacular drapery, one-shouldered dresses, feminine fabrics and menswear-inspired pieces.

vintage is undoubtedly hot right now. all the celebs are wearing it and all the fashion mags talk about it, but it can be a difficult thing to translate into everyday wear for the average person. think about it - pepto-bismol pink 90s bridesmaid dresses from goodwill don't exactly fit the "vintage" category girls want to be seen in (unless you were at my 21st birthday "waltz" in tallahassee

i know i've been slacking and need to push some more style stories out soon (exciting news coming the next few weeks on gameday dresses, a chic new spa in town, florida fishing apparel for both guys & girls, and tips on wearing vintage jewelry...), but until then i wanted to post this week's fab find.one of my fav designers is diane von furstenberg, but unfortunately i can't afford to add all her

while looking at photos on facebook last night i was reminded of a trend that i would like to go all tanya harding on...figure skater dresses. unless you are oksana baiul or have a body like jessica stroup, you probably want to stay away from this style. it's not new, but lately i've noticed them popping up everywhere. american apparel made them famous, and i've seen copies on the racks of both

i know we already did a shoe sale post today, but this fab find was too good not to pass on. aldo.com has taken an extra 50 percent off it's already reduced clearance prices until tomorrow (boots not included - i know, i'm upset about it too!).the prices are ridiculously low, especially on red shoes for some reason. here are a few ruby red looks fit for dorothy that i picked out: priced lowest to

friday night the prêt-à-porter girls & friends headed out on the street to do some of the latest "product testing." we picked up some of this season's hottest sunglasses - wayfarers - to get the public's feeling on the shades made cool by audrey hepburn in the 60s, again by tom cruise in the 80s, and most recently by edward cullen. in reality, here's what our night of "product testing" at rum bar

the awaited american apparel store opened at the mall at wellington green last week. i couldn't make it down there the first few days of its opening, but i still found a way to get my new retail fix. i'd been eyeing the piqué cross front-jumper ever since i wrote about it in my fourth of july post, and when i saw how cute a similar jumpsuit by aqua looked on jillian harris on the bachelorette, i

besides blair waldorf, the bachelorette's jillian harris is probably the best dressed girl on tv. from her adbundance of scarves and flattering high-waisted skirts, to the hot pink maxi, black romper and super short, feathered lbd she wore last week, jillian always keeps her dates fashionable. but what do i look forward to each week besides hot and buff kiptyn now that jake's gone? her selection

saturday i gave the initial scoop on american apparel coming to the mall at wellington green, but yesterday i actually did my research and found out a little more... i saw that american apparel will be opening next to delia's - a good match - in the lower level of the nordstrom court. it just says "coming soon" on the storefront, and the mall's web site has no mention of the store's upcoming

in honor of independence day today, i thought i'd let you in on a little local and somewhat patriotic retail gossip. the other night i heard that american apparel is coming to the mall at wellington green. though i haven't read any other news stories about it yet, there are a bunch of job postings - or "open calls" as the company calls them - posted on the aa web site and others for a store in

if you're not already on twitter, you probably should be. besides the addicting process of posting what you're wearing today in 140 characters and digitally stalking @heyismeashley or @officialchace, a handful of retailers, designers, daily newspapers and others are now announcing some fantastic giveaways through the site. some ask followers to retweet something or answer a question to win movie

if you're anything like me, you probably look forward to the end of a season, and not for the weather. most retailers have been advertising sales for a few weeks now, but if you can hold out until the weekend before a new season you'll get the most bang for your buck.macy's is holding it's one-day sale this saturday, june 20, with the preview day tomorrow. most stores will open at 8 a.m. friday

so many of us shopaholics learned some thrilling news today - british brand jimmy choo and swedish retailer h&m are teaming up together. much more exciting than the miley cyrus/max azria collaboration announced earlier this month, i am definitely looking forward to some affordable jimmy choos, mainly because both parties involved are always at the top of their fashion game so you know it will be

so of course the excitement was all about the music on last night's finale of american idol, and i'm happy kris allen won since i voted for him about 65 times the night before, but during the season i cared more about the style choices than the music. look below for the scoop on last night's outfits - or should i say costumes - and be sure to check out my twitter page at http://twitter.com/
