The Good Life For Less

shoestring.gifOne of my favorite perks of traveling in creative circles is meeting truly inspired and amazing innovators, and I was honored when Melissa Massello and Meghan Udell - the savvy and stylish local brains behind Shoestring Magazine - asked me to be part of their creative team. New this month, Shoestring’s mantra is “the good life for less” and offers great content on resourceful living and achieving style on a budget. While surfing they're cool site, check out my first column with Shoestring, on secondhand, vintage, and regifting for kids.

love this mag/site and love your column. Have been dreaming about bartering all week... going to share it with my true moms right now!

Thanks Romi! That's fabulous -- the launch of Shoestring couldn't be more appropriate given the economy...

I would buy teens vintage items. For kids though, I think it just looks cheap unless it's just something you've never bothered to open or it's sentimental and meaningful.
