Happy Birthday All About Appearances!
Thursday, May 15th, 2008This week I get to celebrate two birthdays. Last Sunday I celebrated my own. Today, I celebrate the 1st birthday of this blog, and with it, my first year blogging. Just as I took time to think about my path on the occasion of my birthday, I’ve been thinking a lot about […]

Introducing… FruWiki.com!
Monday, April 7th, 2008Drum roll, please!
I’ve been working on a project that I hope you will enjoy. As regular readers know, I’ve been trying to live more frugally — and having some success despite my love of fashion, food, and gadgets. I believe that being frugal is not about self-deprivation, but rather about prioritizing […]
15 Random thoughts from SXSW
Friday, March 14th, 2008I just got back from SXSW Interactive. O.k., I got back Tuesday — Wednesday if you count that I stepped through the door after midnight. Since then, I’ve been been using the last few days of spring break to recoup from a combination of jet lag, daylight savings, and a whole lot of […]

Before saying good-bye to what has been a great month for me, I want to say thank you to two great blog carnivals that have featured my posts this month.
Girls Just Wanna Have Funds presented the first […]

A new focus for the New Year
Monday, December 24th, 2007In case you haven’t noticed, there’s been a small change on the blog. Under the title there is a new tagline: “High class, low cost”. It’s just a sign of things to come, though.
When I started this blog, I knew that I didn’t want it to be just another fashion or beauty […]
I’m going to be busy this week
Saturday, December 1st, 2007Is it December already? I still can’t believe how quickly this year has flown by.
For me, December isn’t just about shopping and celebrating. It’s concert time! Since I’m a member of two choruses, a jazz band, and a jazz combo, I am going to be very busy this coming week with […]
Has it really been six months?
Friday, November 16th, 2007I was just looking through the archives, wondering how I ever found time to write so much, when I realized that yesterday was the the 6 month anniversary of this blog! Of course, it’s just like me to remember an anniversary the day after, but it’s better to celebrate a bit late than not […]
I’ve been interviewed!!!
Saturday, November 10th, 2007Fabulously Broke in the City has been interviewing frequent commenters on her blog and guess who is a huge fan of her blog and always has something to say ; ) Without further ado, here’s my interview over at Fabulously Broke in the City that was published today. I got to say, she […]
Any musicians out there?
Tuesday, October 30th, 2007I’d like to announce my new blog, Sax Appeal. It’s actually based on a web site that I started a decade ago as a hobby during my freshman year of high school. Unfortunately, it didn’t get updated much after I graduated — not that four years is a bad stint for an amateur […]

Saturday, October 20th, 2007As regular readers know, I am very proud to write for The Bargain Queen.

Site news and Bargain Queen feed
Saturday, October 20th, 2007Hey everyone! I’ve been keeping busy over at The Bargain Queen. We’re scheduling about three bargain posts a day, so I won’t be able to link to them all from here in posts like I have in the past. I still hope you’ll check them out, though.
I’ve added a widget […]
More changes
Monday, October 15th, 2007Well, I couldn’t leave well enough alone. I figured, since I’m upgrading the back end of the site, why not upgrade the front end? So, I’ve spent the weekend tinkering with the blog theme. It’s still not completely done. There are some alignment issues that I will be addressing in the […]
Please Ignore the Dust
Saturday, October 13th, 2007Please ignore the dust. I upgraded the software running the blog last night and it took longer than expected. There’s a few kinks to work out, as you’ve probably noticed but I’ll be working on them soon — but it may be a day, or possibly two.

New items
Friday, August 24th, 2007I’ve updated my Amazon store, which you can reach by that link or by clicking on “Shop Meg’s Picks” at the top of the page. I don’t always announce when I’ve added new items, so it’s good to check back occasionally for new finds. However, I’ve added quite a few new things that […]
Leaving for London, see you in a week!
Friday, July 13th, 2007Tomorrow I’m leaving for my week long trip in London. I won’t have a lot of access to the internet while I’m there, so I probably won’t be able to post anything, reply to comments, or moderate comments. If you are new to the site, your comments won’t show up until I approve […]
Thank you, 1,000+ visitors!
Thursday, July 12th, 2007As of yesterday, my blog has had over 1,000 unique visitors since I started tracking site statistics with Google Analytics on June 1st, 2007. Yes, that’s less than two months ago. Of course many sites get that in a day, but this blog has only been up since May 15th. It will […]
New feature: Meg’s Picks store and personal shopping help
Thursday, June 21st, 2007I’ve just created an aStore at Amazon.com called Meg’s Picks. You can find via the “Shop Meg’s Picks” link in the top right corner of the blog site or directly from this link.
I created this store because I’m frustrated with the Amazon.com search engine. A search for the simplest thing produces […]

My first spam
Tuesday, June 12th, 2007O.k., this is probably a bit corny, but I’m actually excited that the blog received it’s first ever spam comment on June 8th. Pretty much everyone hates spam, but it was a nice reminder that my blog is really out there and that even the spam bots can find it. Fortunately, Akismet did […]

Impressions do matter but it’s not all about how much you make or what brands you wear. While many people spend outrageous sums trying to impress, good taste is still priceless. Being a classy person doesn’t have to cost a fortune if you know how to spend wisely and declutter your […]
