Search & Dresscue

Search & Dresscue I believe that having beautiful things, and living a full life doesn’t have to be expensive. And it shouldn’t be — at least most of the time. My goal with Search & Dresscue is to introduce great fashion, blogging tips and lifestyle inspiration to those shoestringin’ it (like me).

Firmoo.com Free Rx Sunnies Review

I’ve been wearing prescription glasses most of my life, so all of the new online shops cropping up offering stylish, affordable eye wear is awesome (Coastal, Warby Parker, etc.).

The Lonely Prada Boutique

The Lonely Prada Boutique

This is not actually a real Prada boutique, but a sculpture ‘Prada Marfa’ by artist-collaborators Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset.

Scanning through Pinterest today I stumbled across this beautiful newspaper nail art. It’s way easy! Polish your nails and let dry. Dip nails into vodka. (I’m wondering if over-the-counter isopropyl alcohol will work, hmm…) Place on...

Repurpose: Chair Backs → Hangers

Repurpose: Chair Backs → Hangers

Antonello Fusè created this beautiful series of coat hangers, Abitudini, from broken chairs. I’m sure some of these would make pretty heavy hangers, though. I’m still adding this to my list of, “Things I’d Like To Make One Day....
