Hello, Lovers!... I'm Back & Better Than Ever

(You may have noticed) it's been more than two years since I posted here.

Well, Material Girl is back and better than ever. The blog has gotten a fabulous makeover from my talented (and sweet and handsome) friend Nate. (He's a like a graphic designer version of Clinton and Stacy all rolled into one but without any of the bitchy.)

When I began posting here, my day job was helping creative people realize their dreams. (Really--it was my former company's actual motto for a stitch.) Now I help savvy shoppers realize their fashion dreams, working for by-far-the-best flash sale site going, spending my days caressing designers duds and dreaming about how they'd fit into my already-crowded wardrobe. (FTR, this blog is in no way affiliated with and/or endorsed by my employer. It's all me, girlfriends.)

Over the last two years, I've done a lot of shopping. Ive read countless fashion mags. I've invested thousands of hours in makeover- and style-themed TV. I've gained five pounds. I've cleaned out my closet seven times. I've made a bazillion shopping, style and product discoveries (and probably plunked down that many dollars). So, fellow shoppers, we're going to have a lot to talk about!

Keep an eye on this space where I'll share my shopping adventures, weigh-in on trends, give up my favorite places to browse and buy, and impart my personal shopping and style wisdom acquired over decades of dedicated practice.
