We All Know Why You REALLY Work Out…
Warning: This piece borders on Article Outrage. It appears that these “tone your legs while you walk” shoes are really starting to take off. It started with FitFlops. You know, those ugly-beyond-life flip-flops with the rounded bottoms that force you to activate your leg muscles while you walk. Aren’t they magical? Truly. But we all [...]
Defending Your Life, Sure – But What About Your Weight?
There has been some major debate over the last few years (some of which took place on this very blog) as to the relevancy of the “obesity epidemic.” Celebrities are consistently in the spotlight, and as most of them are lithe and lean, they don’t face the need to defend their weight – unless, of [...]
Careless: Prepared
I’m so used to playing up my hourglass figure that when I don’t intentionally do the opposite – when I just wear clothes without planning for a shape – I don’t know what to expect of my own body. .. .. I adore everything about this outfit: the tights I just got on Ebay; the [...]

Birds of a Feather: Look, Know
We were intrigued by the girls who run the impressive outfit blog, Look, Know, when our good friend sent us a link to an outfit photo and our jaws dropped. Not only are these girls striking, but their style is 100% unique, hand-crafted, and nearly all of it is second hand. Being completely inept at [...]

Plus Size & Fashion Week: Open Door or Unhealthy Invitation?
This year (this morning, in fact), plus size models will walk the runway at New York Fashion Week for the first time. While some fashion lovers are celebrating – plus size is finally being recognized! – others don’t think that a runway show hosted by OneStopPlus.com (which many say is not the plus-size fashion-savvy hub [...]
Careless: Dirty Trips
I drove into the mountains last weekend. Waiting for me was a cabin above a waterfall, some horses in need of a trail ride, and fudge. Who doesn’t love fudge? I packed my boots, a pair of jeans I didn’t mind trashing, and some basic black t-shirts. (You can’t go wrong with a basic black [...]
Links à la Mode: The Beginning of Awesome
The End of Summer? No! The Beginning of Awesome! Edited by: Thom of The Sunday Best For the past week I’ve been listening to Cee-Lo Green’s fantastic send-off, F@#* You, and little else. At the same time I’ve been reading a lot of the hand-wringing in the press about bloggers and whatever are we going [...]
Trend Watch: Cropped
There’s this new-old trend, coming back to haunt anyone that played in the fashion sandbox in the early nineties. Cropped. Cropped sweaters, cropped t-shirts, cropped jackets…it’s everywhere. What do the Demoiselles think of this trend? Well, it’s complicated… Jen: The cropped shirt has one thing going for it that the nineties lacked: it’s being worn [...]
