I Had a Fat Day

I woke up on Saturday morning feeling that familiar dread.  My legs felt all squishy and big; nothing fit right; my proportions were totally off…I knew that feeling.  I’d felt it before.  It was a fat day. So I got up, opened my closet doors, and put this on: One of the first times I [...]

Trend Watch: Rompers

Are we all ready for some mixed feelings? Rompers – half childhood past time (emphasis on past…) and half potentially sexy, gamine summer piece. How are we supposed to feel about this? Nostalgic?

In summer, flat sandals are a must. Whether you’re sitting on the beach in front of a bonfire, traipsing around the city hunting sales, or just having a drink with a good friend – when the temperature starts to soar, you’d better be sure you’re in open-air footwear.

The Demoiselles Respond: Makeup-less, and true to our word!

Last week, Elle’s emphatic rant about Chic Report’s perception of Scarlet Johansson’s makeup-less cover of French Elle received a lot of really positive, aligned responses from you guys.
