I am like Pavlovs dogs this time of year: I get an email notifying me of a sale, and I salivate. And considering the markdowns happening over the last few days—Shopbop, Net-A-Porter, Barneys, Saks—I ...
This is the time of year when Im desperately in need of a new bag. It always seems to happen right around Memorial Day, when the weather has warmed up and Im completely ready for summer mode. All of ...
Remember last summer when we were all wearing friendship bracelets? Theyre still around, but theyve also evolved into what looks like bungee cords. But instead of looking like something you use to ke...
I just got back from a whirlwind weekend in Miami with some girlfriends and our husbands. We stayed at the Delano, which is one of my favorite hotels in the world. Not only is it incredibly whimsical...
Full disclosure: The thought of scuba diving makes me sick to my stomach. I love snorkeling, and taking a deep-sea dive to explore sunken ships or barrier reefs would be amazing in theory, but all th...
So, back when I started Cheryl Shops (in 2003, can you believe it?), I listed all the sample sales every week, and for awhile, that was my claim to fame. In the years since, blogs like Racked have st...
As much as the spring and summer trend reports and lookbooks will have us believe that the months ahead are full of nothing but sunny skies and perfectly warm weather, us fashionable realists know th...
As you may have guessed by now, I own a lot of shoes. So many, in fact, that its hard for me to justify buying a neutral pair—or maybe, conversely, its easier for me to justify buying a non-neutral p...

After several seasons of bright, bold colors, and even neon more recently, the spring runways lightened things up a bit with pastels, notably at 3.1 Phillip Lim and Givenchy. However, it was Pradas k...

The fashion world loves polka dots these days, but even if youre not normally a fan of their throwback feel, there are ways to modernize the look thats sexy and sophisticated while still maintaining ...
Chances are you work in an office and need to look (at least somewhat) professional. If youre like me, sometimes you push the boundaries of corporate couture, but sometimes you just want to look pull...
I know it seems counterproductive to beat the suns blinding rays with a pair of even more blindingly bright sunglasses, but sometimes fashion surpasses all logic aside! After all, these super-cool ne...
Last summer, colored skinny jeans were the trend that took everyone by surprise—they were fun, budget-friendly, and easy to wear, not to mention the newest thing in denim in several seasons. For wint...
Jimmy Choo shoes are almost always sexy in an obvious way, but then again, you could say the same thing about several other high-end designer shoe lines. What sets Choos apart is this: They are surpr...
Blazers of all kinds – cropped, tuxedo, jersey, leather, boyfriend, you name it – have been a staple in both the office and more casual streetwear ensembles for quite awhile now, but this spring and ...
Confession: Im one of those girls who loved, loved, loved the magazine Sassy. I have nearly every issue saved (theyre at my parents house), and I devoured the excellent How Sassy Changed my Life. Wha...
Last week I blogged about pretty bras, and the lovely people at Affinitas Intimates were so excited I featured one of their styles, theyre giving away a matching bra-and-panty set to three lucky Cher...
As you might have guessed from this post last week, I have trouble finding swimsuits. Or, rather, I used to. One of my go-to designers is Shoshanna, whose bikini tops are ingeniously sized by cup, ra...
Longtime readers of Cheryl Shops are well acquainted with my bra woes, but for the new folks out there, Ill make a long story short: I have big boobs. Now, when I tell people my bra size, they tend t...
Maybe were a little tardy for the party (though in this case wed like to consider it fashionably late, of course), but now that the weather is warming up, it finally seems appropriate to celebrate Lo...
Comptoir des Cottoniers used to be one of my favorite stores to hit in Paris; when they came to the U.S. a few years ago, it was like un cadeau par dieu. But until now, theyve never had a sample sale...
If you follow me on Twitter, perhaps you recently noticed me enthusiastically tweeting about a certain handbag designer and her exclusive new collaboration. That designer is Rebecca Minkoff, a Cheryl...
Leave it to two kick-ass Los Angeles-based brands – RGB and Tenoversix – to join forces and create the ultimate trend-setting nail color, just for the platinum blondes (and the inner blonde in all of...
I have a running list of items to purchase, and on that list is a leather jacket from Veda. With the warm weather weve been having, it seems like a silly time to buy one, but with prices 50%-70% off ...
I grew up in cold, snowy Chicago, and for a week every spring, my family made an escape to Florida. It came at that time of year when you were just about at the end of your rope in terms of weather, ...
The blazer has come a long way from its traditional (and stuffy?) professional roots, and is now a casual-wear staple that serves to help modern fashionistas like us easily transition from day to nig...
I first blogged about Pinterest about a year ago, and since then, the site has completely blown up, plus a cool thing to note is that the site has really taken off with the ladies. And while Ive noti...
