TBF Picks - Oscars 2012 Best Dressed
I admit it. I have not seen ANY of the movies that were nominated for Best Picture last night. Not one! But that didn’t stop me from enjoying the looks on the red carpet at the 2012 Academy Awards. Here are my selections for Best Dressed, in no particular order, except for number one…
1) Gweneth Paltrow wearing Tom Ford - She wins the red carpet. Everyone else can just put on a...

Orange Lipstick
I wasn’t originally a fan of the orange lipstick trend. But when I saw how beautiful Sami and Amanda looked at the Zoora party last night in their pretty coral lipstick, I began to rethink my opinion! These clever ladies picked colors that work perfectly with their complexions - and personalities!
Clockwise: Chanel No. 21 Exotic, NARS Babe lip gloss, Dior Orange Can Can

Elizabeth Cole Jewelry
These lovely Elizabeth Cole earrings are mine, thanks to Bar Method Boston! Bar Method had a fun giveaway in December - for every class you attended, you received one entry into a raffle, comprised of 10 gift bags. I won one of the bags (and some very sore muscles). Inside I found these sparklers, along with gift certificates to Gilt City Boston, Jeffrey Lyle Salon, Dress, Scoop NYC, The...

Cookie Swap for a Cause 2011
I’ll admit, I’ve never before attended a cookie swap. I pictured the insanity of a clothing swap, and the scene in my head wasn’t pretty (hello, Cookie Monster…). But this weekend’s Cookie Swap for a Cause, organized by Swap.com and the Boston Food Swap, was pretty civilized! Over 100 people brought cookies to Space with a Soul - and some of these bakers really...

TBF Gift Guide: For Your Sister
Last Friday night I headed down to Boston’s South End for SOWA Artists’ Guild First Friday. Of course I spent all my time in Emily Muller’s studio gazing at lovely frocks, chic jackets and breathtaking gowns (you may remember my review of Emily Muller’s SS2012 show at Boston Fashion Week). I discovered that Emily has whipped up these perfect little holiday bags -...

TBF Gift Guide: For Your Boss
A gift for your boss is always a tough one!. I like to go a simple (maybe even cliché), but good. We received this as a gift one year and Oh. My. Goodness. These pears were amazing! We paired (ha!) them with ice cream, ate them on their own for snacks and devoured them with waffles. Cheesy? Maybe. Appreciated? Definitely. Pick them up here.

TBF Gift Guide: For the Green Fashionista
I recently discovered Revolution Organics - a beauty line created by two women who wanted “luxurious, beautifully formulated, healthy multi-purpose beauty products”; I picked up some lip gloss in a swag bag at an event. I have to tell you, this is the only time I have ever written about an item I’ve received in a gift bag, so clearly, I like this gloss. I like it a lot. It feels...

How to Win Friends and Influence People
Recently WWD, Fashionista.com and Jezebel have all been talking about “top bloggers” and ethics - a topic that is certainly not new (Really WWD? Bloggers receive “gifts” from brands? REALLY?? Get out of town!), but is important nonetheless if you are a consumer or writer of fashion blogs.
As the proprietor of a fairly new blog that is just now becoming the tiniest of blips...

Where to Buy Faux Leather Jackets and Skirts
After all the leather I’ve been wearing on the blog this week, I’ve received a number of comments regarding where to buy faux leather jackets and/or faux leather skirts. I did a little internet sleuthing, and I found some really great faux pieces out there - all for under $200!
Jackets:

Beauty as Duty →
The MFA always brings in some great fashion exhibits (Avedon, Scaasi), so it’s no surprise that this Beauty as Duty exhibit sounds so intriguing. With America (hopefully) ending two wars, it’s fascinating to see a time when civilians were asked to give up so much for the war effort…remember the story of women painting a line up the back of their legs to give the illusion of...
