Why Did You Wear That: Swag Bag

By admin|September 9th, 2014|Why Did You Wear That?|

I’m not awesome at packing a suitcase, but when it comes to having a well appointed handbag, (remember this tutorial?) it’s very evident that I will make for a great mommy some day. For Fashion Week, we must up the ante when it comes to being overly prepared. To be honest (and why wouldn’t I be?), this could be my every day bag. The only difference is during a week such as this, the chance of being able to swoop back home to pick up a forgotten item is a far cry from plausible. Sure, the island of New York is only about 22 square miles, but getting around is a lot more taxing than hopping in a taxi… and let’s be serious- during an average week, I hardly venture outside a ten block radius. When you leave your broom closet size apartment in the morning, it’s necessary to plan ahead and that includes everything from spare batteries to snacks to a change of shoes. Pro tip: when choosing a bag, take into consideration its weight before you’ve stuffed it to the gills with survival supplies. There’s a reason my yoga teacher is constantly correcting the tension I hold in my shoulders (specifically the right one). Have I suggested yet that yoga be a requirement for all Manhattanites? Consider this my formal bid then. Whether you, too, are taking on the tents for the remainder of this week or perhaps you’re a working woman on the go, be sure that you’re always armed for battle with these hand bag must haves.

Gift Guide: My Kinda Girl

By Kirsten|December 11th, 2013|Gift Guide|

Traditionally, I’ve divided up my gift guides by price point, but I decided to shake things up this year by organizing by personality. Now, there is no way on Earth anyone could possibly classify all women into five categories- unless that person was looking to face several million pissed off estrogen fueled females. However, I’ve chosen five pretty broad categories that should be fairly helpful when shopping for your friends, sisters, mothers, and significant others. Whether she loves all things shiny or her fingers can’t be pried from her smartphone, there’s something here for just about any woman. And since I’ve taken all of the grunt work out of your holiday shopping (you’re welcome), all you’ve got to do is figure out what kind of gal you’re shopping for. (If you can’t do that, I can’t be held accountable- but a helpful hint? We’ve all probably got a little bit of each one inside of us).
