Virtual Jet-Setter: 4 international stores you should be shopping
“Thanks to this wonderful thing called the Internet, the world is at our fingertips—and so are global retailers. If you’re sick of the local mall scene—and seeing everything you own on everyone else—your best bet may be to venture outside the tired realm of U.S. retail and see what our friends around the world are […]
Lykke Li + & Other Stories (Plus an American Store!)
The past few months, I have been patiently waiting for an e-mail from the British brand & Other Stories notifying me that their U.S. online store has opened. In the early hours of this morning, I received the message for which I had eagerly been waiting. (Their brick and mortar American venture will open Friday in […]
To Tommy From Zooey is Everything You Think it Is
A retro flair with a touch of preppy quirk for good measure–Zooey Deschanel’s capsule collection for Tommy Hilfiger, which was finally made available last month, has my heart aflutter. Dubbed by the actress/singer/designer as “modical,” the line is comprised of retro dresses with red and navy color blocking, pleats, and a nautical motif, pretty much […]

It sounds too good to be true–Acne Studios, the epitome of effortless cool and downtown chic with their staple knitwear and minimalist design, is opening their West Coast flagship store in Los Angeles, of all places.

I’m Loving: UK Brand Whistles
A minimalist UK brand that has the aesthetic of Zara (albeit pricier–few brands beat Zara’s look-for-less quality/value) and free shipping to the U.S.? I’m totally down with that. The brand caught my eye with that “feminin” french sweater, which I was able to get my hands on right before it sold out (thanks for the birthday […]
Zara outerwear makes me wish LA would get cold.
I miss cold weather only because I miss all the coats I could be stocking up on right now. With a good coat and a great pair of boots, it doesn’t even really matter (too much) what you have on underneath. It could be a Hanes tee and jeans, but your flawless wool coat, statement […]
Paradise Lost: New Zoe Karssen and Everlane
This week is good for two reasons. I’m sure if you’re going back to school, that isn’t one of them, but at least you have Fall, my favorite of the seasons, to look forward to. Fall itself brings two pieces of goodness, the first being Halloween, and the second being sweaters. Actually, in order of […]
