Do you remember the movie Pleasantville? Toby McGuire and Reese Witherspoon get thrown into a black and white TV show, only to throw everything topsy-turvy and cause people to start appearing in Technicolor. Their totally crazy adventure was the result of an odd encounter with a TV repair man, who is sadly not listed in the YellowPages or Angie’s List. To top off Comcast’s reputation for having the worst customer service, never once has a Comcast technician left behind a broken remote…
Never get lost in NYC again, thanks to this fantastic accessory I am guilty of almost all of these things. I’m further motivated to start thinking before I speak. My Mom’s visiting this weekend! It’s her last chance to visit before the school year starts and she’ll have to start doing grading & lesson plan’s again. You can bet we’re going to do our best to accomplish everything on this list. When I was little I loved saying the word absolutely. Now that…
What did you think of the Lilly Pulitzer After-Party sale? This year was the first time that Lilly utilized Queue-It, a software program that restricted the number of people who were put through to the site based on the time that they first attempted to access it. By the time my browser refreshed itself at 7:59 am on Monday morning, I was ~3100th in line with a wait time of little over an hour. I really was going to give up, not…
So last week, I ordered these Madewell jeans, hoping I’d love the ripped knees, selvedge denim, or at least the $40 price tag (originally priced $275 , #steal).

I’ve always struggled with finding a brand of jeans that checked off everything I wanted in my jeans:…
I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this enough, but I’m a huge fan of Madewell. Ever since I did my Wednesday Wish List post about their slim boyjeans, I’ve stalked the interwebs almost daily waiting for them to go on sale. It shocked me to see that Net-A-Porter carries Madewell, as I didn’t think they sold anything for less than $500. I was further shocked to see that even though the jeans were full price at both Madewell and Nordstrom,…
I feel like it’s been months since I’ve perused Nordstrom’s website. It’s just too much temptation, especially when I’m trying to reduce my spending with A’s bachelorette imminent (bank account, please excuse my Lilly for Target purchases – those were fashion incidentals). Three months ago, maybe even less, Nordstrom started carrying Madewell, a J. Crew affiliated denim company that I love. It’s kind of a funny contrast between Madewell and J. Crew – J. Crew is classic prep while Madewell is…
