I like to keep an eye out for fun Moschino pieces on eBay. Check out this “emoticon” jacket. The same seller has a Moschino jacket with heart buttons that would be great for Valentine’s day…and other days too. If you bid on eBay, don’t forget to snipe! If you prefer the “buy it now” option,…

One That Got Away, Others That Didn’t

Seriously, Fashion Bloggers…

Shiny Skirt
Thanks to LynnZ for pointing out this second-skin, latex-look skirt by LNA on Shopbop. Shopbop suggests wearing the skirt with a loose-fitting t-shirt. I think that would be a good way to balance it out.
