Searching for "grace"

What I’ve Been Wearing All Weekend

I found this T-shirt for $12.99 at JCPenney on Thursday, but I don’t see it online. I love the scoop neck, of course, and the color, but here’s what else I’ve noticed: the pattern distracts from my bust! I’ve always searched for plain tees, but with the end-of-summer sales and my desperation to replace some […]

Business Briefing: Going for it! Going for it?

I’m finalizing everything for my first production order, so this business briefing may be all I write today. The reality of placing this order has actually paralyzed me. Yesterday, I found myself browsing the mall–ostensibly for the great finds I’m going to report on this blog–but truthfully, shopping is my classic avoidance/comfort strategy. Read after […]

August 13 Curve Cam!

When I saw this straight-to-DVD movie at Blockbuster, I wanted her costume maker to be my tailor. Viewed from the front, there may be some Level 1.5 gapping (and puckering along the dart lines), but no one’s going to catch a sneak peak of Jessica Simpson’s bra under this shirt. (Nothing after the jump.)

Swimsuit Review: Aerin Rose Shirred Over Shoulder Tankini Top

Here’s a review from my fit model, friend and fabulous bag designer, Marketa. The picture after the jump is NOT Marketa, however–Marketa has a much nicer figure. Once again, our late-in-the-season swimsuit reviews are just in time for summer sales. You can find this suit for 25% off at the Aerin Rose website. Shopping for […]
