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.…
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…
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…
Just the mere thought of this summer weather fading away is enough to sour my mood. I really love being able to make quick exits in the morning, leaving the apartment in a tank and shorts and not worrying about all of the extra time involved in dressing for cold weather. Don’t get me wrong, I…
It seems that sometime in the last 5 years or so, athletic clothing companies really upped their game. Not only have the clothing, shoes and accessories gotten cuter and more fashion forward, but there are some amazing new tech fabrics being used. The products not only look and fit better but they also work better. Fashion AND function?…
These days, it’s hard for me to deny a good animal print. Though there was a time when I fought it and refused to wear it at all. This was probably the result of seeing one too many poorly executed or gaudy leopard prints. But my love for the classic print has been revived, thanks…
By now you guys know that I love comfy t-shirts. You can find me wearing one about 90% of the time. I have to say that my real obsession is with graphic tees, specifically statement t-shirts. I’m a big fan of words, and the power that they possess when you read them off of someone’s…
