As much as I’m attracted to vibrant, bright colors, my style is loyal to a truly neutral palette. I love beige, white, tan, shades of grey and black. When I found this adorable plaid peplum top from Anthropologie, I knew I had to have it. Not only do I love this silhouette, but it’s a…
Fun fact: my first job out of college was managing a Free People store in Connecticut, and then later in Brooklyn, NY. My obsession with the URBN brands (Free People, Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters) began long before I started working there. The company has done an amazing job at catering to different ages and aesthetics…
The acid wash trend may come and go, but there’s something about it that keeps it in my closet pretty consistently. I love how lived-in it looks, and how each piece is unique in how washed out the dye looks. The eighties were a cool, experimental time for fashion- though I’m certainly not promoting an…
Labor Day weekend was just exploding with awesome end-of-summer sales and hefty promo codes to use online. One of the stores that I popped into was Lucky Brand, which I’ve been hitting up a lot as of recently. I’ve mentioned their jewelry in previous posts, but I haven’t written much about their clothing and handbags.…
Today happened to be a hot and humid day in Connecticut, and I headed to work in one of my many pairs of denim cut-offs that I’ve been living in all summer. My legs have gotten used to being bare and unrestricted for the last 4 months, but pretty soon I’ll be slipping back into…
I thought I’d dedicate a post to a pair of jeans that has defined my end-of-summer style: the One Teaspoon Awesome Destroyed Baggies. These babies totally take the cake for best destroyed boyfriend jeans, but be warned: these run large! I’m normally a size 25, and I purchased these in a 24, but I still…
After you see my most recent purchase, you might start to think that I’ve taken this western fixation a little too far. Though I must say, I’m still feeling pretty good about it. As you know, I’m an avid Ebayer, and one that loves a unique (and inexpensive) vintage find. Last week, I was thinking about what…
These days, I’ve got boots on my mind. Honestly, they’re kind of always on my mind, because boots aren’t seasonal for me- I wear them year round. Granted, heavy and fur-lined boots are reserved for the colder months, but ankle boots are fair game all year long. You’ve heard me gush over my Sam Edelman…
I’ve never really been one to choose outfits ahead of time, except for important events that require pre-planning (interviews, weddings, etc.) This is not due to a lack of organizational or planning abilities, but it has more to do with how I never actually stick to the things I pick out the night prior. I…
As promised, I put together a little clothing haul of the items that I purchased from Banana Republic. I mentioned in my last post that both Gap and Banana Republic had pleasantly surprised me with their fall assortment and late summer sale items in the last couple weeks. I found so many great items at…
