Who What Wear For Target

admin — Tue, 31 Oct 2017 11:00:28 +0000

Who What Wear For Target Just like most people, I am a sucker for a deal. When I realized that Who What Wear made a line for Target, I dropped everything and made a b-line for the store. I normally do most of my shopping online but when it comes to Target, I like to shop in person. Sometimes it can be hard to tell the quality of clothing online, so I like to go in a feel it out. It also gives me a chance to knock out my grocery shopping in one fell swoop. So I consider that a win-win situation. I’m happy to report that the Who What Wear line is just as good as it looks online. I’m glad I went in to test it out because it gave me an excuse to buy $100 worth of Target random things that I didn’t need. God, I hate that. But the Who What Wear trends, fabrics and prices are all on point. I scooped up this striped ruffle blouse plus a few other pieces from the collection that you can shop below. Happy shopping loves!

DC x South Moon Under

It’s hard to believe that fall is finally upon us. Which means it’s time to update our wardrobes and start adding in pieces that will help us transition from the hot summer days to cool fall nights. Michelle and I may live on opposite sides of the country but we still share the love of one of our favorite stores, South Moon Under. Let’s just say that I am super lucky to live only a mile away from South Moon Under. It’s my go to spot when I need an outfit for an event, where I shop when I need to update my wardrobe each season and where I go to pick up gifts for friend’s birthdays. They always have what I’m looking for and many things I never knew I needed. Since I live in Virginia and work in Georgetown, I thought I would share with you all a sneak peak into my work day wearing my outfits that I styled from my favorite local shop, South Moon Under. Hope you all enjoy! Wearing: Jacket (X by Gottex via Southmoon Under c/0), Bra Top (Alala c/o)), Leggings (Alala c/o), Sunglasses (Quay), Sneakers (Nike). Whether […]

If you know me at all, you know that Intermix in Georgetown is my first and usually always my last stop to shop. They have it all, from designer pieces to new and up and coming vendors. Whether you are shopping for a cocktail of formal event or just looking to chill at home with some comfy, cool sweats. Intermix has that and everything in between. They help create and perfect the ultimate closet. I was so excited when Intermix asked me to style my favorite fall coat. I have had my eyes on this Alexander McQueen coat for months and couldn’t wait to pair it back to shades of grey. This coat has the perfect fit and flare look and makes me feel like a million bucks. Wearing all Intermix- Sweater: Rag and Bone; Denim: Frame; Pumps: Sergio Rossi; Bag: Stella McCartney; Coat: Alexander McQueen Photo Cred thanks to the talented Julien Check out Intermix online and shop their gift guide selection for any fashionista this season and help create a girls dream of the ultimate closet. xo Michelle

Fall ’14–Fashion or Fail?

admin — Sun, 12 Oct 2014 21:00:28 +0000

Do you guys remember a few years ago, when everybody—no, literally everybody—was rocking the Juicy Couture velour tracksuit? You know what I’m talking about? The one with “JUICY” emblazoned on the backside? That is, if you were “hip” enough to grab the original. Later the trend came to encompass bottoms that advertised “PINK,” “RUTGERS,” “ED HARDY” or assorted other brands on the asses of America. That tracksuit was fashion poison, and of course I had one two a few. In assorted colors. That I wore with Uggs. Because of course I did…and when I walked down the street I felt in style, trendy, hip—generally awesome. Until I one day I realized that, regardless of how “in” they were and what celebrities were wearing them, velour pants looked awful on me. Especially, (but not exclusively) velour pants that could comfortably fit five 4-inch tall letters with room to spare across my rear end. But if we’re honest with ourselves, that happens every season, right? A trend catches fire and produces the “it” item. Before we know it, some sort of noxious fashion fumes overcome us and we find ourselves obsessed with buying something that is so in, so on-trend, that we forget to think about whether […]
