Tis the first roundup of the new year and I’m pumped. You too? Nothing quite like that clean-slate feeling of promise and excitement. Also nothing quite like an all-night-long snowfall, and tiny, excruciating moments of “driving” a fishtailing car while turning in an intersection on your commute to work. Ah, January.
Hi Bob. Everyone’s experienced new haircut remorse, so Jennine’s video with her reaction to a shorter-than-expected new do is so endearing and relatable.
Fort Livingroom. Gemma’s five New Year’s resolutions are spot on. I particularly love the ‘Be Less Grownup’ point. I think it’s important to remember not to take yourself too seriously. Lessens the stress. Also, love this principle in terms of fashion choices.
Cold Toe. This next post is about as good as they get. Miss Amanda Lee generously shares some essential sewing skills via several video guides. Learn how to sew on a button, fix holes in socks and tights, and more. Or alternatively send this to a chauvinistic, anti-male-domesticity guy you know with ‘MAN UP’ in the subject title.
Twotentastic. Who doesn’t love a good old top ten list? Styletastic boils down ten fun things to look forward to in the upcoming year. Is it weird that those shoes make me physically salivate?
Also, check our just launched handbag glossary. A trillion (imaginary) dollars to the first person who can tell me what a minaudiere is.

your friendly neighborhood IT support here:
the links in the handbag glossary attempt to open pages beginning with “http://http//www” which is… wrong, and impossible.
just delete the “http//” in the middle, and then and it should work more smoothly.
Thanks for the heads up Miss IT! All fixed!
