This fall’s styles have already been determined by the fashion powers that be, and we are starting to see them trickle into Denver. Two major ones are the “cage heels,” with serious height and cutouts, and comfy cardigan sweaters either wrapped or worn loose over a fitted top. Of course…
This is the final week that I will bring you popular teen trends and mix them with the fall’s hot fashion of grunge. The skater look works well for both girls and guys and you can mix a care-free look with an edge! Style: Skater For a guy: For a…
There are probably hundreds of ebay sellers out there who have made a pretty penny by selling items that they purchased at a Goodwill thrift store. Now Goodwill has gotten into the online auction game with shopgoodwill.com. The site was started by the Goodwill Industries of Orange County, CA and…
Slide show With these oppressing temperatures it’s hard to leave home, let alone put on heels and clop down to Santa Fe. But that’s exactly what I did on Saturday night, and despite the heavy air and clammy conditions, I did it happily. Why? Because I love supporting local designers…
No matter how amazing a piece of clothing is, sometimes it just isn’t right for you. If you’re anything like me, you probably have tons of items of clothing that don’t fit right, or aren’t quite your color, or that you bought even though you knew that they weren’t right…

Words cannot even begin to describe my disappointment last night when Kenley won the challenge. Look at that dress! Just look at it! I bet when you first saw the photo you might have guessed that it was the ultimate loser of the night, but no, it was actually the…
A few weeks back we received a press release introducing us to the wonders of the “fresh, new color from KitchenAid.” This color, while called “pear,” looks decidedly more like the pukey green avocado color that was all the rage in the ’70s. Even if this new green shade is…
While “Secondhand Sartorialism” is technically a street style blog, I simply have to share the incredible taste and style of my dear friend, Naomi Kelly. Naomi, who has a strong sense of personal style and an excellent eye for what suits her, has long been one of my personal style…
Summer is slowly coming to an end, and we are all racing out to do our back to school shopping. It’s important to keep in mind your own unique style, while also nodding to the fashions and styles of fall. If your style is: “Urban Hippie” Look for Hippie inspired…
One thing I have always loved about fashion is watching the ebb and flow of styles. Sure, every season there is some crazy trend that may stick — a la the skinny jean — or culminates in total disaster, like the popped collar. But there are always staples, pieces that…
The other day I was driving up 14th Ave and saw a young man out for a jog, sans shirt. Based on his physique, I would say this young buck is an aspiring Abercrombie model. So yummy. So, so yummy. I couldn’t keep my lecherous eyes off him. That was…

I love accessories! My mom has always had a ton of great jewelry and while I know that my own collection of earrings, pendants and bracelets will never match hers, my shoe collection is quite astounding — fifty pairs, at last count. I even like to joke that I married…
As an honorary deputy of the Global Grammar Police, I’ve always taken issue with the “Buy Local Bitches” sign displayed on the front door of the Fabric Lab (3105 East Colfax Avenue) and in the windows of other Bluebird Beat businesses. “Where are all these local bitches for sale?” I…
The hot sticky weather obviously hasn’t been getting to these people. It seemed like everyone was wearing a hat and not giving the sun a second thought. My favorite is Morgan, who layered his over a white bandana and added a PBR pin. Can you get more Colfax than that?…
As promised, I’m bringing you the popular teen “preppy” style and mixing it with this fall’s latest fashions. Shopping at stores like American Eagle, Hollister, and Abercrombie & Fitch will give you great tools to add a pop of color to the grunge styles that are in right now. Keep…
Just in time for the summer rush, Crocs is going to start warning customers about the dangers of riding an escalator while wearing their flimsy, colorful plastic footwear. Avid readers will recall that we issued an appropriately Cassandra-like alert on gruesome Croc-related escalator accidents more than a year ago. Crocs…
