don't miss sample sales for Wednesday, March 10: On Gilt/Gilt Fuse: ALEXANDER WANG!!!!!! (accessories & clothing), Richard Chai, Chloe Sunglasses. On Ideeli: Michael Stars.So…here’s a little video I made to talk to you about what’s going on with outfit posts, (I know you were wondering…)...

since I’ve been posting my favorite online sample sales every day, I wonder: do you guys shop the online sample sales? which sites are your favorites? do you find the prices to be great, or not so good? so… do you shop online sample sales? yes, i try to hit up as many as i can ...

I’m currently really frustrated that I haven’t received this from alexanderwang.com yet. I ordered it on 2/4 and never received any follow-up e-mail or shipment notification from them, although I know from the site that it was shipped (for free) via UPS. So, I’m just waiting. I’ve...

I’m not going to get into new years’ resolutions or anything like that – I really don’t believe in them – but I am going to make some small changes around here in the next year. 2010 will mark Grechen’s Closet’s SEVENTH year…WHOA…and I although I...

This is so random…but I was just thinking how some of my favorite style bloggers never show their bags in outfit pictures. Well, not NEVER, but hardly ever. I mean, Jane from Sea of Shoes is CLEARLY a shoe girl, and so is her mom; I can’t even remember the last time I noticed a handbag...

(woot! I’m so excited to be a part of this week’s Links a la mode with 19 other fabulous Independent Fashion Bloggers. All the stories are worth a click…please do!) Style Within Means Edited by Debutante Clothing As the summer winds down and I start planning my Fall wardrobe, I’m...

I’ve been meaning for weeks to put together a rebuttal to the Style Coalition’s video “Don’t Shop” but haven’t been able to come up with words sufficient enough to make my feelings and ideas clear. As I read Anabela’s observations today on fieldguided, I was...

I’m just curious…I don’t really even know what “dressing your age” means. I guess according to certain magazines, you shouldn’t wear neon if you’re over 35, or maybe do a trend again if you were around the first time…but all I’ve ever thought about...

In spite of the fact that I prefer to shop online (better deals, easier experience), I do like to roam around my two local malls (Lenox & Phipps in Atlanta) every once in a while, first to people watch, and second, to see what I’m missing online. I also like to try things I wouldn’t...

YAY!! The new Grechen’s Closet has been up for a little over a month and I’d love to get your feedback and input on what you like, what you don’t like, and what you’d like to see in the future. After all, I do this for you What are your favorite features? What do you not...

I love these Pierre Hardy for Gap sandals, I won’t lie. (and I’m in good company…the Nylon & fashionista girls love them too ) I loved the original version with the wood heel better (as seen on my style lounge), but these are very cool, especially in green. And they’re...

(preface: Honestly, this turned out to be more of a rant than I meant for it to be, but I am SO TIRED of people thinking that because we spend money on bags or clothes, that we’re “rich” or not interested in saving money. I shop on a very limited budget; I’ve only recently purchased...

We’re kicking off a month of Eco-Chic here on Grechen’s Closet and I couldn’t be more excited! I’ve been trying to cover more earth-friendly designers and boutiques this year, and wanted to take it up a bit and challenge myself to wear at least one “eco-chic” item...

I have to be honest, I’ve felt a little conflicted recently as a result of my desire to feature more earth-friendly fashion items; shouldn’t we all be trying to consume a little less, instead of more? Especially today, Earth Day, I posted so many coupon codes for eco-friendly online retailers...

Handbags are definitely my favorite thing to spend money on. Unlike clothes or shoes, handbags don’t have to “fit,” they don’t have to match, you can wear the same one every day without people becoming concerned for your sanity, and if you buy the right ones, they can last for...
