March 29, 2004 : Lay One On
|
Cheese on toast. Nutella on waffles. Paris Hilton on every man in town. What am I talking about? Layering of course! If you haven't noticed, it's like the thing to be doing my friend, namely with your clothes. For the less creative, try these Cameron two-for-one tees with tanks at alloy.com. You get both for just $20. Layering for dummies? Or layering for smarties? I think you know the answer.

March 25, 2004 : Pick Petunia
March 24, 2004 : Box It Up

Everyone has stuff they don't want cluttering up their place, but they can't throw away either. Which is why clever storage solutions are so important. We dig these very shabby-chic valise sets from San Francisco's Flax Art & Design. Charming luggage modeled after classic European lunchboxes, these laminated fabric-covered fiberboard boxes come in two different sizes, with three boxes that nest within each other. Pick them up for $34 at flaxart.com.

March 19, 2004 : The Weekend Buss: Mint Chocolate Chip
March 18, 2004 : Dessert for One Please
|
Since I'm in the Lone Star State at the moment, it's only right to feature something by one of TV's current Texas Tarts -- that's right, Jessica Simpson. Her new line of edible whipped body cream with candy sprinkles has piqued my curiosity. Will I be the walking banana split I yearn to be? Maybe. Try out the three Dessert flavors -- Creamy, Dreamy and Juicy -- for $34 each at sephora.com. There's no warning that this product causes ditziness, but BussBuss cannot guarantee it either way.

March 17, 2004 : Just Pinky
|
Trying to ditch winter gracefully? Join the pasty-skin club. A good segue piece to make the transition is a lovely tulip skirt in a nice springy color, like this pink one at Anthropologie. The flattering and flirty cut is still appropriate for the office, and paired with fun fishnets, your legs will gracefully make the transition, too. Pick up this skirt for $49.95, marked down from $98, at anthropologie.com.

March 16, 2004 : Spank This!
|
If I'm going to break down and wear a belt, you better believe it's going to be an awesome customized one. I've found two fab options on the web. If you've already got the belt and just need a rawkin' buckle, then head to naughtysecretaryclub.com. For $25, you can pick from a funky selection of backgrounds or send in your very own image and then have it put on either an oval or rectangular buckle. Another great option, especially if you're looking for a nice selection of belts, is nicnorman.com. You can email or snail mail any image you want, chose from six different belt straps and five types of buckles, and then chose to have the image put on the buckle as is, or to have it graphically enhanced into a very urban-artsy type image. You can also opt for a belt with your name or your initial on it, or choose from a selection of girly, urban and mod styles. Prices range from $75-$95.

March 15, 2004 : The Robes Have It

If you're on the prowl for a new cuddly, snuggly robe, you're in the right place. The Bath Robe Shop carries a huge and adorable variety, ranging from cutsie flannel, spa-like terrycloth and elegant silk. We like the girly chenile ones by Canyon Group, particularly the Cowgirl, Think Pink, Precious Puppy, and Paris. Prices range from about $50-$150 at the completely lounge-worthy bathrobeshoppe.com.

Spring is so about to be sprung. So start thinking about ditching the bulky sweaters and tweed pants for something a tad on the lighter side. Two good segue pieces, this must-have Arden B. cami, which will go fabulously under a blazer until it gets warmer, and this Max Studio cargo skirt, will make the transition fun and even painless. Score the top at ardenb.com for $21.50 and the skirt at maxstudio.com for $28 (regularly $59).

March 08, 2004 : Big Bow Peep
|
You're too young for elastic waistbands! But you also are so so soooo tired of ill-fitting skirts and pants. I mean, it's only human to expand and contract during the day, right? Which brings me to one of the many reasons I love this darling wrap skirt by All dressed up and Shy. The waist is adjustable! And how could one resist that precious but sassy red bow? And it's only $48 and is handmade by an indie Austin designer. I double doggy dare you to beat that! Order one for yourself at alldressedupandshy.com.

March 05, 2004 : The Weekend Buss: Ring Around the Planet
|
Ever wonder why people totally freak out when they turn 30? Surprise, surprise, it has more to do with big bad Saturn (yes, the planet) than with wrinkles and Botox. Seems that Saturn conveniently returns back to the place it was the moment we were first born every 29.5 years, forcing us to deal with all the many issues we'd rather just sweep under the shag carpet. Thanks, Saturn. But there is hope. The astrologers for Teen Vogue, Stefanie Iris Weiss and Sherene Schostak, have written the book on the famous phenomenon, Surviving Saturn's Return: Overcoming the Most Tumultuous Time of Your Life. In a straightforward, conversational tone, Stefanie and Sherene tell us all about this first milestone into adulthood and how we can cope with all the ugly issues so that they don't keep plaguing us for the next 30 years. Did Saturn miss the memo that 40 is the new 30? Anyway, scoop up this fun and telling read at amazon.com for just $10.47, and visit the authors' website, saturnreturn.net, for much more info on the Saturn Return.
