Threadless!

Threadless.com, the coolest t-shirt shop on the web is having a sale on hoodies! (Every hoodie is only $25, today until midnight!) And if you've never visited threadless before, go check out the t-shirts as well. Their quirky and fun website is actually a t-shirt design competition. Anyone can submit their own design. The designs are then rated (by dedicated web addicts, like you and me) and then the cream of the crop get printed and sold on the site. All are limited editions and way cooler than any vintage-y shirts you might find at Urban Outfitters. I love this appropriately titled "Biggie Was Right" tee, but you pick your favorite... (Procrastinators beware, you could browse the awesome designs on this site for hours before realizing you have work to do...)














Oh, and note to windy city residents... Threadless recently opened a boutique up on Ravenswood at W. Irving Park. So if instant gratification is more your thing than online shopping, go check it out.

Fab Site: Piperlime.com

Searching for that perfect pair of shoes just got a whole lot easier. With brands from Nine West and Frye to Sigerson Morrison and Hollywould, Piperlime.com covers every price range and you can search by color, size, type, or trend. And with free shipping and free returns, what do you have to lose??

These Max Studio Radcliffe Boots will look great with cozy sweater dresses. Try Spring and Clifton's Rainbow Cardi Dress.








Depending on the occasion, ballet flats can be a little too casual. But the buckle and alligator embossed leather on these cute little Nine West Gain Flats make them sophisticated enough to wear with any professional outfit.




More cute finds...

Small Screen Style

There are plenty of websites that tell you what your favorite stars are wearing in real life, or on screen. (Reel-Style, and Star Style are just some of the many.) But now the networks are in on the game. Check out the sponsored version of what your favorite CW stars are wearing. (Gossip Girl anyone?) I guess plain ol' advertising just doesn't pack quite the same punch anymore.

Shopbop's New Designer Boutique

If high price is the allure, then you will love shopbop's new designer boutique. The high end designers featured have been hard to find online, up until now. You can stock up on favorites like Brian Reyes, Derek Lam, Kiki de Montparnasse, and Rachel Roy.


I love the subtle detail on this gorgeous Rachel Roy Grace Dress. The pleated brocade skirt atop the semi-sheer, bodice and banded hem is a sugary sweet confection. And the white patent detail along the waist and neckline adds a quirky punch.








Sequins modernize this vintage inspired Peter Som Silk Blouse. The side tie and fuller fit are perfect for fall. Pair it with his pleated, metallic tweed skirt for some full-on-shine. But if you don't want to look like you just stepped out of fashion mag, try it with a simple black skirt or wide-leg trousers.








This airy chiffon Peter Som Zoe Dress is artfully draped, and the deep green color prevents it from looking too saccharine. Add his Embroidered Velvet Ribbon Necklace for an unexpected touch.











If you are going to get a metallic shoe this fall, these Givenchy Open Toe d'Orsay Pumps are a great choice. Not only is the metallic leather on the matte side, but the modern cut-out detail will make them interesting for more than one season.











Sick of scouring vintage stores and garage sales for quirky old keys to put on chains? Haven't even done that yet? Jump on the trend with this T. Cyla Skeleton Key Necklace.












Look no further. The perfect bag for fall has been found. Black leather with matte gold hardware, this frame bag is perfectly timeless and lady-like. So go on... buy it... I am seriously considering it. Zac Posen's Iconic Group Aurora Handbag.

MoMA Free Fridays

Not everyone can make it down to MoMA on Friday nights. Living in New York is kind-of a necessity (but if you are a New Yorker and you have not done so, get on it..) For the rest of you, the MoMA store online is an awesome place to find fun, interesting and modern jewelry, home accessories, books and posters. It may not compare to standing in front of a giant Cy Twombly painting, but its a start....

I absolutely ADORE this "Diamond Ring" by Alissia Melka-Teichroew. The thought-provoking silhouette imitates the classic Tiffany setting. And you don't have to worry about blood diamonds with this silver beauty.


The book, Fashioning Fiction, explores the world of fashion photography in the last decade, examining the exchange of ideas between fashion and art photography. Whether you are interested in art, fashion or both, this is a great book for any coffee table.


These quirky Outline Vases by Yuko Tokuda are the perfect way to create an interesting floral display with just one or two pretty blooms.
