The Background
stopforever21sweatshops:
At the outset, Forever 21 sounds like the American Dream come true: it was founded by a poor Korean couple who immigrated to the USA in 1981. The company is still privately-owned and operated in L.A. and the couple, Do Won “Don” Chang and Jin Sook, chalk up its success to their Christian faith and frugal, hard-working values. Those who have worked with or for the...

Miss Atomic's Cameos
I’ve always had a soft spot for cameos. I love the simplicity, the elegance, and the charm. I am a big fan of classic styles, and timeless pieces… But at the same time, I have a bit of an offbeat taste. I dig things that are current, edgy… Fashion with a sense of humor (but also a lot of beauty!).
Several weeks ago, Fab.com (one of our Top Shopping Sites in 2012) opened up a...

In Love With Kelly: Green Heels for Spring 2012
While I do enjoy Kelly Osbourne from time to time, and Kelly Rutherford is one of our eco-friendly lifestyle icons, and if we really want to talk about inspiring women, Grace Kelly is always on my list of favorite people. When it comes to greens, unfortunately I can’t say that kelly green is my favorite. It’s nice enough, sure, but there are better greens. That isn’t to say I...

Style Remake: Ali Larter's Laid Back 70's Look
I really, really like time-period-related trends. They are my favorite. Oh, except for the 1980s. I’m sorry, I know it’s popular right now, but it is a huge mistake, you guys. This is some kind of cosmic joke that the universe is playing on us. Bring back 80s fashion? Yeesh. Stop drinking the Kool-Aid, folks. Your fanny pack is neither flattering nor ironic.
But I digress.

Adventurous Pants for Petites (Under $25!)
Dressing for your body can be so frustrating.
I remember how blown my mind was when I realized that a woman could be straight-sized on top and a petite on bottom… Or plus-sized on bottom and petite on top! I’d never even considered that as a possibility, but thanks to the magic of the mid-200s and What Not To Wear, maybe a few less women will now wear clothes that fit their body.
I...

ColorPlay: Pearl (&) Hunter
I am in the midst of green fever.
I don’t now where it came from, but I can’t take my eyes off of anything green. Green nail polish, green sweaters, green everything! And, to me, nothing is better than a saturated green next to a pearly, ivory white
There is a possibility that it’s my subconscious screaming about how badly it misses springtime, and fresh, deep colors....

Coveting: 80%20 2011 Holiday Collection
The holidays are not over yet. 80%20 says so.
We haven’t talked about the hidden wedge wonder brand since last year’s holiday collection, which was a trend-tastic playset of sneakers and boots. This year’s holiday collection is a little more streamlined, with subdued, classically-inspired shapes in fun colors…and in true 80%20 fashion, all but one has a hidden...

Go Green: Top 3 Green Polishes for Spring 2012
This year keeps threatening to be one of the most colorful years we’ve seen in a long time. Almost every S/S 2012 runway was filled with blinding, energetic color, and it’s contagious.
Go Green in Spring!
For some reason, the green polishes that are sprouting up (trololol) everywhere have captivated my attention more than the other hues. I love the mossy, yellowed greens, the...
