This might be dumb as hell, but where are people buying clothes now? Like actual clothes. Because everywhere I look shirts don't go below the belly button, and it all looks like something I would wear to day care with a pair of jelly sandals. I just want to know, where the hell are people shopping now!

I have a wedding in New Orleans in early April. I need to buy a dress, but I'm unsure if I go with Door 1 or Door 2.

Door 1: Simple black dress, nothing loud or wild. I'm a +1 and don't know many people. This isn't about me and I should just blend into the background.

Door 2: It's a NOLA-style spring wedding! Have fun with it and be colorful. Don't be lame!

Thoughts?

Not exactly a question of IF i should buy something, but more... WHERE/WHEN. Online shopping is dangerous, don't get me wrong. (Give me a Prezzy Day Sale and I'm mush)... but for me, if I'm at the airport with 25 mins before boarding, I'm raiding a Hudson News bookstand like it's Ocean's Eleven.

Other contenders: When I'm drunk / post brunch, when I feel skinny that day, when I am on vacation shopping with a friend and need to buy "something small" at every store we stop into and thus can't return it because I don't live there, and at Costco. (Don't have a backyard, but the backyard furniture looks GREAT.)

Candles are the only thing getting me through the winter blues these days. So I need more!

So tell me: what’s your favorite/best-smelling candle that I definitely should buy? Something that’s cross-seasonal is best!

Hey guys, just like the title says, I find it easier to fall asleep when I listen to white noise / soothing sounds. Currently I just use free stuff off my phone, but was curious if anyone here uses a white noise machine? I know they can range in prices but maybe it's a better option that constantly using free stuff I find on the internet. Plus, it's not great to sleep with my phone next to my head, right??

I am finding myself... wanting/needing a fanny pack. I know they are "in" I guess right now, but like I don't know if I can pull it off. I want one for when I take my dog to the dog park or on a walk in the summer since I wont have a coat to put things in.

And where do I find a cute one!?

I love a deal, don't get me wrong. But there are certain items that I will not budge on spending money on.

For me, it's jewelry. If I need something costume-y, that's one thing. But when it comes to earrings, everyday jewelry that I wear at all times, and gifts (for myself), I'm not going cheap. That's why I don't have a big collection, but what I have is nice!
