  • Night Out: Art. Food. Liquor.

    Sometimes your boyfriend wants to stay in on a Saturday night with a bucket of chicken and a 6-pack of Bud Light, à la our favorite Carrie Bradshaw beau Aiden. Let him.  We've put together the perfect night to ditch your man in fa... more

  • Sunday MumDay

    We mentioned yesterday that you're on your own if you haven't yet made
 Mother's Day plans.  Alas, we've decided to take pity on you, mainly 
because we're idiots who didn't realize it was up to us to make p... more

  • Hump Day Happy Hour: Downtown

    You're a lawyer, which means we hate you because you make 483902489308 times what we make.  But, it also means you hate you because you don't even have time to spend the money you make, and because no one ever told you that blogging fr... more

  • Warby Parker: Glasses You Can See Yourself In

    Dorothy Parker once said "men seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses," but we're gonna go ahead and refute that claim here. I mean, did she ever wear contact lenses in allergy season? Probably not. We've sound a cheap and stylish way ... more

  • Jet Rag Sunday Dollar Sale

    If you love vintage clothing and don’t mind digging through piles that smell very….well….vintage, then you will love Jet Rag’s Sunday dollar sale. Show up when they open at 9am (before the vultures descend), and make sure ... more

  • Boutique Spotlight: eCookie

    Today we are paying dutiful homage to one of our favorite boutiques in Venice: ecookie.  Our feelings for this modern, stylish store definitely fall into the more-than-friends category.  The selection is great, and everyone who works here... more

  • Free Wardrobe Booster

    Ever have those days when you can’t get dressed because (ugh!) you’ve already worn everything in your closet a million times and you just can’t let (insert name of crush here) think you’re a pauper who can’t afford new... more

  • Summer Getaway: Portland

    One of the few affordable luxuries that living in SoCal provides is the abundance of (relatively) cheap getaway destinations in close proximity; however, there are only so many times we can do Vegas and Palm Springs, where the gratuitous amounts of... more

  • Show Those Sexy Gams in DIY Denim Cutoffs

    If there's one look that never seems to go out of style for summer, it's cutoff jean shorts.  The perfect pair, however, can be as rare to find as the perfect man. Luckily, we can DIY our discarded denim jeans into the cutest cuto... more

  • Best of the Broke: June

  • BGG Boutique Spotlight: LIVE! On Sunset + Exclusive 15% Discount

    A girl cannot live on Forever21 alone. As amazing as the mega-chain's designer knock-offs can be, some occasions, like meeting your ex's new girlfriend or 'accidentally' running into that guy you've been drunk-texting for the la... more

  • Summer Getaway: Ojai

    Whenever someone we know goes to Ojai, it’s usually because they’re being whisked away by some paramour or another for a $$$$ weekend that leaves them looking refreshed and -- to even greater insult -- happy. As such, this unassuming to... more

  • Penny Chic Styles BGG on the Cheap

    A few weeks ago, we lunched with the adorable Shauna Miller of Penny Chic and have since developed quite the girl crush. She's the ultimate Broke Girl and has made it her mission to empower women by showing them how to put together an enviable ... more

  • BGG Exclusive Discount: ShoeDazzle

    We’d shoe-shop more often, but we don’t particularly love parking on level 438902483902 at The Grove, dodging trolleys to get to Nordstrom, and then fighting teenage girls for the attention of frazzled salesclerks who, you can only imag... more

  • BGG Does Fashion's Night Out

    Last year we worked for a big corporation that sent us to NYC to cover FNO. We were so overwhelmed by the crowds that we instead went to go have a lovely dinner at The Standard (on the company, of course).  We don’t know what LA’s ... more

  • Shop a Hot Local Designer at 30% Off + Turn Your Trash Into Treasure

    It’s Monday morning. You’ve just waited ten minutes for the office coffee to brew with your most talkative co-worker, who felt compelled to tell you all about his or her weekend.  You didn’t ask.  Now, you’re back ... more

  • DIY Python Bag for Fall

    "Crafty" is not a word we would ever use to describe ourselves.  We reached this conclusion circa fifth grade, when even our stoner art teacher couldn't admire our paintings without grimacing. Due to our own significant inadequacies in thi... more

  • Street Style with College Fashionista

    We love the runways and all, but we've long been obsessed with their pedestrian counterpart -- the sidewalk. Street style is one of our favorite things to pour over endlessly, and the College Fashionista street style blog is one of our favorite... more

  • Emmys: Get The Look For Less + 15% off at Rent The Runway

  • BGG Closet: Fall Trends We're Currently Coveting

  • The Best Things We Did All Month

    We think the Emmy’s happened this month...?  And maybe Fashion Week...?  But we don’t get a lot of sleep, so forgive us -- our minds get a little fuzzy at times.  For us, the biggest highlight of September was actually no... more

  • BGG Stylist Obsession: 365 Hangers

    The whole practice of using size 0 women to model clothing is fatally flawed. Of course that dress looks amazing on Kate Moss -- she'd look good in a garbage bag.  And then there's the whole "but, I have double D's, and there's... more
