yesterday at the independent fashion bloggers conference, i had the opportunity of checking out j brand’s very first ready-to-wear clothing collection. wwd first announced the creation of this line in august, so i’ve been looking forward to seeing it in person, but um, i’m going to need a moment alone with these clothes, you guys. aside from the color palette being...

Anonymous asked: Hello, since you're someone who knows the city pretty well I really want to ask you this question. What areas of New York would you suggest to someone who is looking to move to the city to a safe neighborhood and not have to break a whole paycheck on rent? Sorry if this sounds dumb, but I really want the opinion of someone who knows the city well enough and lives there. Thank you!

Do you know of a good place I can find wide width calve boots that come in a size 5 1/2? Also, do you know what the difference between W and WW is in boots? I've googled it a million times it seems and everything says something else. ...

welcometotheworldclaire asked: Hello! I'm an English major and read a while back that you went to grad school for Lib. Science. I've been thinking more and more about grad school to work towards Lib. Sciences because, like you, I love learning and reading. My question is, if you don't mind me asking a personal question, how bad were/are the loans? Did you find it hard looking for a job? I'm kind of going on...

the ann taylor summer 2012 collection, part 2
and here’s the rest of the ann taylor summer 2012 collection. there was a bright burst of wearable neon, a palette of sunset-colored grecian gowns, and an updated collection of separates for work. “updated” as in, this ain’t your mom’s separates; every piece of white and black clothing was mix and matchable, which is imperative when creating a...

as i revealed earlier in the week, i had the opportunity to check out ann taylor’s newest collection for summer 2012. (i hope you don’t mind, but it was so full of awesomeness that i had to split it into two image-heavy posts.) last season featured tons of punchy shades and this collection merely continued into a colorful line for the warmer months.

katieparks asked: Hey Girl! So I am on the hunt for a good leather bag. One that I can spend a bit of money on that will last me a long time. I can spend around $300 and preferably want black. I don't like a lot of buckles/embellishment and love buttery soft/textured leather. I am in love with A.Wang but who am I kidding? I can only troll eBay for so long before settling for something else. Hope you can help!

atalossforlife asked: I know it's not "answer your questions Tuesday", but I am desperate! I have been agonizing over finding the perfect black leather (or leather-like) chelsea boots. I have found several pairs I love, but they are a bit out of my price range at full retail. I keep almost buying them, but I can't quite bring my self to hit the "purchase" button. I am frugal to a fault!...

strangelydetached asked: Could you possibly recommend a really good chunky infinity scarf that's under $60? I really like the look of them as a statement piece. And lets be honest, I can't knit to save my life.
