I’m a DC-dwelling, gentile-dating, over-achieving, bargain-hunting, weight-watching, poker-playing, hyphen-ating former law student studying for the bar exam with opinions to spare. I lost about 25 pounds in 2009-10 with Weight Watchers. With that, I rekindled my passion for running and fitness. Clothes look better on me now, too. Anthropologie owns my soul.

This Sale Haul is not a Coincidence

This morning I dropped my alarm clock on the floor while trying to hit snooze.  It shattered and broke. Hours later, I visit fab.com (my newest sale-a-day obsession).  What do the...
