With all the online shopping I have been doing lately, I have discovered a weird new trend. A lot of store models seem to have given up on pretending that the clothes they are wearing are fashionable. These two photos are prime examples from Nordstroms. Does the model look really upset about having to model…

Usually, I am not a huge fan of Kate Spade. Okay…Well maybe I am…I just can’t afford a single thing the lady sells. However, Nordstroms is having a big sale right now and some of the cutest items are from Kate Spade. With the hefty discount, this make up bag is definitely enticing. Also cute:…

The antique gun that has been a bit of a mystery in my family has been posted in the online catalog for the December 6th auction at Bonhams in San Francisco. You can see the lot here and bid on it if you are interested. What we felt was probably not that consequential of a…

After going blind temporarily after my terribly unsuccessful shopping adventure yesterday, I have decided maybe it’s better to go vintage. Back in the 50’s and 60’s people actually wore cocktail dresses and didn’t have to settle for cut-rate taffeta. However, it’s a jungle out there for vintage shopping online.

I am sure that you can’t survive on cheeze-its and lettuce alone, but these last few months that’s pretty much been by diet. It’s time to dramatically cut back on the cheese crackers (damn you Safeway two-for-one). Tonight, I want to actually get around to cooking the frozen tuna steaks I bought at Trader Joes…

This replica of the classic Charlie Brown Christmas tree is too darn cute. It would be really adorable in someone’s tiny apartment this holiday season. Of course it is from Urban Outfitters, staple of all things hipster and ironic. Also on their site today: this really nice folding mirror that would look great on a…

And here is an even more embarrassing photo…the famed tinfoil hat contest from last week’s UFPhobia session. Feel free to laugh at my expense. Enjoy!

Here’s a photo of me as Dolly Parton for Halloween. Rob is dressed as a crazy southern Baptist. Nope…I am not a blonde….and yep…those are the infamous pashmina boobs.

Now that Halloween is over, I have ditched the Dolly Parton double-D’s and returned to my normal small-chested self. But that doesn’t mean I can’t still exhibit a little “frontal flair.” Last weekend, I picked up a brown striped ruffled tuxedo blouse from Zara for $30. It’s fun paired with some cute jeans or tucked…
