Since I put my Thrifty Threads 365 challenge on hiatus, I’ve had a few people ask if I’ve had a chance to shop for new clothes. Like I wrote in a previous post, though I gave up buying anything new for a full year, I didn’t feel like I was being deprived of anything, so I didn’t have a serious urge to shop for anything non-thrift store related. But I finally changed that last week. My first purchase was two pairs of earrings from H&M. None of the clothes caught...

If there’s one thing you need to know about me, it’s that I like bright colors. And I like prints. Well, I guess that’s two things. And because of those two facts, I’m a serious C. Wonder fan.

I’m a little more than half way through my Thrifty Threads 365 challenge and people always ask if I miss shopping for brand new clothes. And I usually say no. Thrift stores have provided me with every item, whether it’s trendy or classic, that I need. But there are some things I’ve been missing: Forever 21 jeans. I can walk past Macy’s, H&M or any boutique with no problem, but Forever 21 tempts me every time. Let me explain… As much as I love a flirty dress, I...

Two weeks ago I filmed my third appearance for The Nate Berkus Show and I can now announce the show airs on Tuesday, December 20. Like my past segments, I’m focusing on thrift shopping. This time around I gave holiday makeovers to two women using completely thrifted looks. And as usual I had a great time. I can’t reveal everything {you’ve got to tune in on Tuesday}, but check out some pics and behind the scenes info below. I had my girl Danielle, aka The Style & Beauty...
