Year in Review: 2018’s Top Fashion Slays, Worst Nays

December 31, 2018 by WendyB

Despite the fact that this year was all about politics for me, I didn’t expect my two favorite fashion moments to emerge from the political arena.

Bluefly Lies About Acne Jeans?

August 13, 2007 by WendyB

I find it very annoying when a store fibs about the original retail price of an item in order to make a sale look better. I recently posted about a sale on Acne Jeans, Hex style, Radison wash. Just now, I spotted some Acne items on Bluefly and was ready to share that information when…
