Yesterday Taschen books stores had a HUGE sale going on at their retail stores. In fact, the sale is also happening online right now (limited titles online). They have amazing books for 50-75% off.

I just got back from a fabulous trip to London. The trip was all business but of course I managed to make some time for shopping. Plus, shopping is my business, right?! My plan was to go to London with two empty suitcases but I realized that I did need a gang of clothes for…

I am vacationing in Colorado and for me no vacation is complete without a little shopping. Yesterday I stopped into a high-end consignment store in Aspen called The Little Bird.

I know, it’s like I was born yesterday or something but I just recently realized how cool H&M really is. Well that statement isn’t entirely true. I first discovered H&M in New York City when I was in high school. It was like the coolest place on earth and it made me the coolest person…

I’ve known about the Barney’s Warehouse Sale for years, yet I’ve never been. Why? I don’t know, stupidity I suppose. Well this year was different. Luke and I woke up early and headed downtown to shop to our hearts content. The sale started at 8am, we got there at 9am and stayed until 3pm. 6…
