Godere della vita! That’s “enjoy life” in Italian, if you were unsure. I was inspired by Tod’s recent ad campaign with Chiara Ferragni for a collection featuring bags, moccasins, and effortless class. When you’re young, maybe with a streak of rebellion (if you’re lucky), you tend to be less afraid of things. Maybe you’re not, and you’re a shy person,…
If you’re in the middle of your introduction to high fashion, or if you approached it in the past, you’ve probably found yourself, at some point, scratching your head and saying, “I just don’t get it.” Don’t worry, that doesn’t mean you’re some tasteless plebian. There’s not some special, enlightened form of critical appreciation that you’re lacking. It’s all about the lens…
There are stages to every term paper: Assignment, denial and procrastination, panic, frenzied labor, relief and post-paper woe. Assignment occurs when you realize you have a paper on your syllabus and your professor expects you to turn it in, denial and procrastination are where you put it off until the last possible minute, panic happens when you realize you’ve done…
Some things in life are pretty benign; they don’t necessarily make you happy or unhappy, but the way you approach them determines their effect. For example, a shirt is usually a pretty benign item. You might like it, you might dislike it, you might not have any opinion at all about it, and how you decide to feel about it is…
Is there anyone who likes shopping for bathing suits? Summer rolls around and everyone starts thinking about all the ab crunches they didn’t do all winter (guilty) plus all the holiday excesses that turned into midwinter cheer snacks and late winter exhaustion power naps (very guilty). Not to mention the convenience food, because we’re all super busy all the time.…

I think still hanging in my mind were the blaring patterns of the 70s style numbers paired with platform shoes, as well as the whole footie pajama connotation. But I’ve finally changed my mind about the style. I might just…
If you’re in a relationship right now, chances are you have some kind of plans for this Tuesday. Although shelves of red and pink candy containers and rows of heart-studded PJ’s make it hard to forget, in case it’s slipped your notice, Valentine’s day is right around the corner. The holiday is a big deal in the U.S. Consumers will spend a predicted $18.2 billion for gifts, dinners, and…
So getting married within the next couple of years is on my radar, and though I’m not planning a wedding right now, the possibility has crossed my mind. That’s why when my favorite talk show podcast brought up a new study on the average cost of the American wedding, my ears perked up. The Knot recently released the numbers on study…
We’ve all had points where we found ourselves in arguments with the people we love. Sometimes, in the middle of a fight, especially those with friends or significant others, it seems like the relationship is about to crash and burn. But sometimes a fight is so far along that it seems impossible to end it well or to end it…
