Where the Wealthy Shop Online [Infographics]

In terms of volume online, Macy’s attracts more visitors earning $100,000+ than higher end department stores Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus combined (Anna Wintour’s Fashion’s Night Out appearance at Macy’s last year suddenly makes sense).  Though they probably aren’t the first name you’d associate with designer fashion, there are a massive number of people who match [...]

The Sexy Standard: Little Black Dress of the Week

The Sexy Standard: Little Black Dress of the Week

This Herve Leger V-neck bandage dress comes from the newly launched “Essentials” line. While it’s still a bit pricier than your run of the mill black dress, it is a more affordable option if you can’t keep up with which version of the ubiquitous bandage dress Rhianna or Blake Lively are wearing this week.

It’s human nature. As soon as you buy something second hand - maybe
it’s that charmingly worn out purse you use daily or the remarkably
preserved set of china you keep in your cupboard - you wonder: who was
