UPDATED FEB. 4, 2011, TO ADD: The situation discussed in this post has been resolved.

There’s a terribly unchic situation unfolding in the…

Strike My Pose, There’s Nothing to It! VOGUE!
Earlier this week, I wrote about bitches stealing my trademark crossed-leg pose. Gorgeous blogger of Erin of Work With What You’ve Got commented, “I kind of want to do a tribute pose now, but I’m afraid you’ll rip out my weave!” I was so delighted by the idea of a blogger pose-off that I promised…
Questions, Comments, Fingers, Rings and Manicures
While I was finishing up my recent blog redesign, I invited people to ask me questions for the new FAQ page. I couldn’t come up with short and sweet, FAQ-style answers to all of them, especially the ones about comments. I’ve received nearly 41,000 comments since I started this blog in 2007, so when Stacy…

Sharon Rose Has the Magic (Thrifting) Touch
Yesterday’s post on buying high-quality clothes elicited this comment from gorgeous U.K. blogger Sharon Rose: ” … as you know I mainly thrift items and since I’ve been blogging I’ve managed to buy good quality designer and vintage for such low amounts, it really is investment dressing for the future to look at goodwill, charity…
Do Fashion Bloggers Read Newspapers?
They should, but that’s a post for another day. In the meantime, I wanted to let the newsprint-averse know that the New York Times has a big article about all of your magazine-related idols: Anna Dello Russo, Kate Lanphear, Carine Roitfeld and Giovanna Battaglia. (Maybe you can read it on your iPads!) I wonder if…
