Cat’s Pajamas is putting on its oh-so-fashionable jammies and taking a cat nap for a few months. During Cat’s hibernation, you’ll find regular features from this fashion blog in the Cat’s Pajama’s category of The Latest Word blog…
While reading Seventeen’s latest issue, I found out about a website that has everything from apparel to costumes. The best part…great prices! We would all love to have the time to go out to shop, but with school, homework, studying, and jobs, it can be hard to find the extra…
My obsession with vintage clothing has been a large part of who I am for about as long as I can remember. Sure, some could interpret such an obsession as my just being superficial, but I like to think of myself as someone who has an eye for quality and…
Melissa May, one of Denver’s most talented local fashion designers, will be premiering her retro beach inspired Spring 2009 line tonight at 9 p.m. at the Colorado History Museum, 1300 Broadway. Followers of the Denver fashion scene will no doubt have seen May’s work by now, but this is her…
Remember how the designers got all crafty and constructed sweaters out of mop heads and dresses out of plastic cups in the first episode of the current season of Project Runway? Well, with the Whole Foods Challenge you, too, can construct fashion out of food and food-related products and you’ll…
Style trends are changing almost everyday. Five days a week, I am confined to the halls of my school, where I see teen fashion all around me. What happens when guys and girls swap their “norms” of style? I see the guys taking on skinny jeans — tighter then the…
Slide show Plenty of people had a fashion statement to make at last weekend’s Monolith festival. Don’t believe me? Check out the slide show and vote for your favorite hipster. Nothing like watching all the hipsters trying to out hip each other…
If you like supporting local fashion designers and independent film makers, then this weekend’s Toofy Film Festival in Boulder is for you. For only $20 you can get a pass for all 6 independent films to be screened, plus access to the Toofy After Party Fashion Show at 10 p.m…
I don’t know if my theory holds, but I think global warming signals a heavier chance of rain on the Front Range in the spring and fall. But if I’m right, we all need to buy a good pair of rain boots immediately. Luckily, deciding to do so is just…
Students from The Art Institute of Colorado’s Industrial Design program will have a chance to exhibit their work alongside the masters of modern design tonight at the Design Within Reach studio in Cherry Creek North, 2500 East Second Avenue. The exhibit will feature 19 designs that were picked for their…
Yesterday it was announced that the proposed Centennial IKEA will be built on 13.5 acres on the west side of I-25 in the Park Meadows Mall area. The Swedish home store will be 400,000 square-feet large and will sell nearly 10,000 exclusively designed items. The store will also feature 50…
The political conventions are over and I think we can all agree the DNC was more successful than the RNC. Sure, we had fewer police/ protester confrontations and more respectful crowds than the RNC. But more importantly, we had way better celebrities than the Minnesotans had. And though I’m not…
There’s a lot happening in the news these days — the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac bailout, the energy/housing crisis, the most exciting presidential race in my lifetime. But, really, there is only one piece of news that I care about — and that’s today’s announcement that IKEA, the Swedish retailer of…
It recently occurred to me that I need to devote some time to talking about how to shop for vintage clothing and not just encouraging our readers to do so or spotlighting stylish individuals who have devoted large portions of their wardrobe to vintage goods. While shopping for used goods…
I have always been fascinated with Goth style. Now, I would never be able to wear black clothing everyday, but I really respect those who do! My best friend is what most would consider Goth, but her style is so much more interesting that just layers of black on black…
Slide show Live music became fashionable Saturday at Bender’s Tavern. Models rocked on as they strutted in local designers’ labels; Broken by Jonny Applegate, Eropersona by Summer Jackson and Jackson Ink by Willy Jackson were all represented. And if the crowd liked what they saw, they could get all the…
It’s not easy to shop at my favorite store. It has no website, and takes no credit cards. It’s also almost 900 miles away – in Deer Lodge, Montana, which just happens to be home to the Montana State Prison. And that’s where the contents of this store come from…
I am so all over Larimer Square this week. The whole street hopped during the DNC, and shows no sign of slowing down now that the excitement’s over. For starters, Wild West wear emporium Cry Baby Ranch will keep the block rockin’ when it presents its biannual Liberty Boots trunk…
I have struggled with how to cut and style my curly, fine hair my entire life. One stylist would tell me that a scrunching spray is the only way to go, but then the next would insist that I use a mousse or gel. I’ve tried every product out there…
The second season of Bravo’s interior design show Top Design begins tonight at 10 p.m. Hosted by India Hicks, the show also features designers Todd Oldham (sure, he designs sofas for La-Z-Boy, but he still has a pretty good aesthetic) and Jonathan Adler, alongside Margaret Russell, editor-in-chief at Elle Decor…
Back to the regular school schedule means going back to tests, homework and classes — and finding a way to be comfy and still stylish. When I returned to school, I noticed that every class has its own style. For seniors, it’s super casual — a simple T-shirt and jean…
I have not been one with my new purse. At Cheyenne Frontier Days in late July, I searched through every booth and shop, looking for a replacement for the tooled leather number I’d picked up a few years before at the National Western Stock Show — a bag now held…
