How to Blow Your Entire Tax Return in One Purchase
Fashion Is Fun

How to Blow Your Entire Tax Return in One Purchase

by

Maybe you’re super organized and filed your taxes months ago. Maybe you’re a last minute kind of person (like some of us) and just filed them. Either way, you should have some money coming your way after a year of forking over your salary to taxes. According to the IRS (via CBS), the average tax return in 2012 was $2,899.

Sure, you can choose to be responsible with your newly-acquired dough: Pay off credit cards, save for your retirement… OR, you can do the fun thing and blow the entire check in one sitting. It’s totally possible–with FASHION! Designer price points have gotten so high that the price for one luxury item–a dress, a bag, a pair of shoes–is approximately the cost of the average tax return. Sad but true.

The Top Trends from the Fall 2013 Runways

by

Four cities, one season: Fall 2013. Nemo kicked the collections off and every city to follow added its own dose of wintry chill. Somehow all that cold weather caused a discernible note of restraint to float through the collections. Don’t worry–the passion and excitement were still there, but designers actively pursued defining new ways we can really dress next fall. These looks felt grounded in the return of the “Lady,” as fashion’s pendulum swung away from the risqué, toward the refreshingly refined (spike-studded shoulders be damned). Check out our top trends for fall in the slide show.

by Cheryl Wischhover and Kathleen Hou

We spent our Sunday worshipping at the church of fashion–we dragged our sorry selves out of bed really early to check out Victoria Beckham‘s look at the New York Public Library and lasted all the way until the evening, when we ooh’ed and ah’ed over Zac Posen’s signature elegant beauty look. (Start practicing a gorgeous bordeaux lip!)

What We Saw at New York Fashion Week, Day Five

by

Today we hit the midway point in the New York fashion week madness, with shows from Derek Lam, Victoria Beckham, DVF, Zac Posen, and many more.

We got a pretty good seat behind Anna and Grace at Thakoon and spied Bryanboy and Fashionista contributor David Yi rocking matching looks at DKNY. We also caught dreamgirls Crystal Renn and Coco Rocha being beautified backstage as Zac Posen (as if they needed it), and models vogueing backstage at Derek Lam.

Check out everything we saw and snapped from day five of New York fashion week!
