30 Before 30? (In under 20 Days?) ... Hmm. Wait a minute, I'm content!

Ella M — Thu, 13 Oct 2011 15:07:47 EDT

Recently, I discovered bloggers doing this "30 before 30" thing. Depressing: Some goals are so big that these girls seem so young. (Hint: the link at the end of this post sums up both me and why I feel this way.) I have half a month from this publish date (longer since I started) if I were to do this; for October 30th, if they're all new they'd have to be so tiny. I think I've accomplished about...

Thoughts on Sensitivity; Shaken from News of Inconceivable Brutality

Ella M — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 12:55:08 EDT

The news I'm referencing is definitely too much for some sensitive people to take. You can read about it online, for example on the Huffington Post. Note: part of what I'm about to write may also be a bit much for some! I know this instance is not "unique", and maybe not even rare - I can't "get into" all the stories of the world, but somehow there are certain moments in time that strike one a...

SatC's Michael Patrick King's New Sitcom, 2 Broke Girls; a fashionista's review

Ella M — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 18:16:20 EDT

Lately, I've been yearning for a new Sex and the City; well at least a show (scripted, please!) with women wearing the latest fashions who are likeable (no housewives, thanks) and maybe, only maybe a tad younger. Michael Patrick King, the man who produced HBO's Sex and the City, has a new sitcom pitched to deliver some of what many women must be craving, but far from all of it. It has the...

Reading: 3 is a Trend; what a concept!

Ella M — Sun, 18 Sep 2011 08:14:36 EDT

This simple runway-themed category, Three is a Trend, from the Harper's Bazaar fashion blog has me inspired. I've never found the time, strength or sanity to pull this kind of post out of a fashion week (let alone a series) so I doubt I ever will, but ooh I wish! What a nice way to quickly get a feel for the upcoming seasons. Now, as for this being done with what's currently in stores, that I...

Missoni for Target - Target B&M - Day 1 Part 2 (Tue. night)

Ella M — Sun, 18 Sep 2011 07:10:51 EDT

(Read Part One, a prelude) On D Day (national debut day, in this case turned slightly doomed for most fashionistas) I had a somewhat normal schedule, as in I couldn't get out shopping until night on that work day. Super normal on a weekday, right? The norm?? Apparently, Missoni is not business as usual when it comes to Targét collabs. Me, I'm not really a shop-online girl unless it's a...

Missoni for Target - Target.com - Day 1 Part 1 ...

Ella M — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 15:06:49 EDT

"We are suddenly extremely popular." LOL! I was going to check out fit and details of several items in store before considering checking to see if a certain online-exclusive dress was still available (it's between that or another) and this log-on I was only attempting to check when my Target closes. Too funny. I do have stories and more from Fashion's Night Out (including photos and more...

Amy Winehouse: A Look Back in Style

Ella M — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 05:16:00 EDT

Amy Winehouse was a talented spirit troubled by addiction, an affliction some fashionistas can understand (those troubled by serious shopping addictions, like I am). She was also a free-spirited style star, a woman as 50s bouffant meets 60s go-go as she was a modern paparazzi-magnet. She will be missed, and so will her potential beyond her disease. Here we look at some photos that represent her...

Page Rank! (Well that wasn't so hard, after all.)

Ella M — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 23:31:34 EDT

You may think it's wrong or you may completely understand, but in the World Wide Web today a webmaster any "less" in greatness than a total SEO master can get too frustrated. That is too frustrated to go on, sometimes. I've long known how hard it can be for new sites and even harder for old sites/content with new domains (yep - just don't switch domains folks!) but when, last fall/winter, Google...

10 Reasons Petite Girls Can Wear Flats

Ella M — Mon, 21 Feb 2011 06:19:17 EST

Carolina Herrera flats It shows immense confidence and an "I don't care" attitude. Men might really respond to that! Some men just plain prefer a girl in more comfortable or relaxed footwear. Is that the type you might prefer right back? Wearing flats is like reverse discrimination. Don't let trying to be taller hold you down! Wear what you like. It's still healthier for one's feet, no...
