Tricks to Finding Proenza Schouler Items on Target.com

If you (like me) are a fan of the Target “Go International” line, but if you (like me) were too lazy to run out to Target in Brooklyn and/or Opening Ceremony when the stuff first went on sale, you (like me) might have shopped for your wears on Target.com. If you type in “Proenza” in [...]

Jack White Wears His Love of Loretta Lynn On His Sleeve…Literally

It’s no secret that Jack White loves the legendary Miss Loretta Lynn–so it shouldn’t be a surprise that Jacky boy is the proud owner of a tattoo-style tshirt with the name “LORETTA”

Why Are Clothing Sizes So Out of Wack?

I’m so frustrated by clothing sizes. You know the drill–one designer’s 3 is another designer’s 0 is another designer’s 8. But what is up with this trend of SUPERTINY sizes?
