Ann Taylor Friends & Family 2010: 6 Items for $83.87

2010-11-16T22:58:00.000-05:00

As you know from my previous post I am loving the refreshed, younger "J.Crew" feel of Ann Taylor these days. Since I was in DIRE need of some respectable but cute pants for work I decided to head out for the semi-annual pant parade. This, my darlings, is where I haul about 20 pairs of pants in two sizes each into the fitting room sighing under my breath muttering curse words at my hips--which

Decorating on a Dime

2010-10-12T21:56:00.000-04:00

Besides rebranding BL, Mr. F and I have forged ahead with renovating the second level of our humble abode. Rather than shutting you out of the process we'd like to invite you to the party. For the first of the bedrooms I've purchased these to-die-for vintage posters from Kingsbury Farms (see above). Since the posters are beyond fabulous and the price was not so cheap I have got no choice but

TEST POST

2010-10-11T22:41:00.000-04:00

Hi lovelies! Pardon the interruption in regularly scheduled programming. As promised I'm working diligently on a new layout for BL and that includes new posts. I work with design programs on a daily basis and have come up with a new format that I hope you will really like. There are still quite a few kinks to work out like eliminating the 'fuzziness', adding live HTML links and that all too

Six Steps to Cheap Flights

2010-09-28T22:17:00.000-04:00

Nothing makes me more jazzed than the phrase new discount. Last Friday was Find-A-Cheap-Fight-Day for myself and a very good friend. I still don't have a flight so obviously prices weren't what I consider discounted. Luckily, Away.com's Cheap Flights 101 article opened my eyes to a whole new world of discounts. Here's the cheat sheet: 1. Determine your booking window. Aim to be booked by at

NOT! While the famed, and talented, designer was smart in marketing through different retailers the deals have yet to come. We can only hope that theoutnet.com will discount the
