irockirockirock asked: Hi Sara! I'm fashion backwards and I'm going to Bonnaroo in a few weeks. I am looking for a straw (or light colored) wider brimmed hat to wear to protect me from the sun. When I say wider brimmed ... a cowboy would be fine, I just dont want a ball cap! Do you have any suggestions? Something under $50.
Thank you, love your tumblr!

choosing the right slip →
first, can i just say that the wall street journal has been killing it in the fashion news department lately? kudos. second, this article is a must-read for those of you looking for a vintage/new slip for summer. if you’re feeling sassy in the heat, this particular piece is a great lightweight alternative to the typical throw-on-and-go jersey dress.

memorial day weekend: part 2, street fair fun
on the hottest day of the season yet, astoria played host to a memorial day weekend street fair, which blocked off all of broadway. there was ten streets of tents filled with tzotchkes of all sorts; homemade greek pastries, cotton sundresses, fresh fruit smoothies, strands of beaded necklaces, even carnival games.
(above, sweet silliness: cups of watermelon slices and trays of...

Anonymous asked: Sara? Is it okay to wear a denim dress? Ever? I thrifted a vintage denim shirt dress (Banana Republic circa 1980) and I'd like to give it a try...but how? Do I just need some accessories to make it modern? Or should I just forget it? Be honest. I can take it.
memorial day weekend: part 1, a dog's day
this afternoon, i took a little trip from astoria to williamsburg to celebrate the birth of jaimen’s puppy baby, lucy. a dog birthday? yes. and this party was serious, ya’ll. there were little chew-bones for all of the attendees and hot dogs on the grill.
despite the heat, it was nice to unwind on the roof and take in the beautiful sunset.

Anonymous asked: I believe that these are the most perfect flats ever: http://www.swedishhasbeens.com/ballerina-hepburn-p-50.html
The tinniest of tiny heels, leather soles, and all around quality craftsmanship. But the price is less than desirable. Any ideas of where to find something similar for around (...or less) than $100USD? Help. If I spend $335 on basic ballet flats I'll have to flog...

jsallo asked: My younger sister is already a major fashionista at age 14, and unfortunately, she's more interested in my fashion sense (supported by a full-time business job) than what my mom is willing to dish out for. She emailed me yesterday that she's in the market for a new purse, wanting to replace her small Coach Swingpack with something a little bigger and more up-to-date. I'd love to buy...

mysamwise asked: Hey Sara, love your blog! You've got such a great style. I see that you seem to rock boots on the regular, I recently bought a pair of black leather military style boots (http://www.zierashoes.com/Shoes/Styles/Commander/Black) for the up and coming winter months (I live in the Southern Hemisphere), and they are so warm and comfy. However, I am not really too sure what to wear them with -...

how to make your style blog big →
articles like this offend my sensibilities a little bit. do you really need tips on how to gain popularity on the internet? if so, i think you need to step away from the computer for a little bit, take a nap or grab a coffee or something, and then come back and reconvene. gather your thoughts. because i really don’t even know what to say to you if you are starting a blog to get *big.*...
psa: why i won't help you find a wedding/prom...
if you read the title of this post, you now know that i will no longer be helping ladies in need with finding a frock for an upcoming wedding or prom. while i do appreciate you all coming to me (and, please, keep doing so) with fashion inquiries, i’ve thought about it more lately and the idea of allowing me — a mere know-it-all behind a computer — to choose a dress that you will...

Anonymous asked: Hi Sara, I'm a former city girl living at the beach and seeking the ultimate 2011 beach bag. Have you seen anything to-die for? Looking for something that can fit a towel and the kitchen sink. Trendy is fine, as I don't anticipate it surviving past this season. Under $150

Anonymous asked: Hey Sara! Your blog is by far one of my favorite fashion blogs to read-- I usually save it until the last of my daily blog reads (pleasure delayer, I guess), and when I bought this miniskirt (not this exact one, but something similar: http://www.forever21.com/product.asp?catalog_name=FOREVER21&category_name=btms&product_id=2000012303&Page=12&pgcount=25) I knew exactly who to ask...
