Urban Pulls State Necklaces ‘Ripped Off’ From an Etsy Designer–But Were They Really Hers in the First Place?

Urban Pulls State Necklaces ‘Ripped Off’ From an Etsy Designer–But Were They Really Hers in the First Place?

by

You might be surprised that we haven’t written about Stevie, an Etsy jewelry designer known for her state charms with a little heart punched through each one. Stevie was quite upset because Urban Outfitters allegedly mimicked her design. “My heart sank a little bit [when I saw this],” Stevie confessed on her Tumblr.

As bad as I felt for Stevie, I didn’t put the story on yesterday’s schedule. We write about rip-offs pretty consistently, but this just didn’t sit right with me. Hadn’t I seen these little charms before?

Since the story broke, Urban has pulled the style from its website. And Stevie seems to be experiencing unexpectedly high sales in wake of the situation. She reports on her Etsy page that “Orders will take a bit longer due to the overwhelming response to Urban Outfitters! Please give me 3-4 weeks to create and ship your items! xo.”

Haute in the Kitchen: Adorable Aprons, Clogs, and Hankerchiefs to Wear While You’re Cooking Thanksgiving Dinner

by

I like to cook, but my other half loves to cook. And he’s not lazy about it, which means my responsibilities are few and far between. That is, except for Thanksgiving dinner. I love cooking on America’s holiday because I learned the recipes from my grandma, with whom I was very close. I also love it because it’s the only major holiday I can think of that’s not about buying anything except food and booze.

But if you do like to shop–and cook–then consider this:

You don’t have to look like crap in the kitchen. Anthropologie makes some adorable aprons, and your kitchen clogs can be prettier than Crocs. Oh, and keeping your hair away from the food doesn’t require mesh netting. Try some cute kitchen accouterments so that you don’t even have to change when the guests arrive.

Would You Wear a Proper Nightie?

by

In my ramp up to last Sunday’s season premiere of Mad Men, I re-watched the first season. Of course, the ladies’ outfits (and Don, duh) made me swoon just as much as the first time around. But something else stood out that I hadn’t paid much attention to initially—the sleepwear. Most specifically Betty Draper’s short, Read more →
