What The Frakta?!

Over the last week or two, the internet has been going INSANE over IKEA's response to Balenciagas $2,145 version of it's $.99 Frakta tote (you know, the one you stuff full with your old clothes to go sell at the Buffalo Exchange). The Arena tote sparked an internet frenzy of people making their own IKEA inspired pieces - made entirely out of the Frakta bag. 

 Scroll down to see Balenciagas tote, IKEA's response, and my favorite Frakta tote creations!

Chic, Fashion-Forward Pieces That Are Still Work Appropriate

Image
I'm BACK! And just in time for some fall style insight, too. I recently started a new office job that actually has a pretty lax dress code. My inner (mostly outer) fashion girl was SCREAMING with delight!  "A great job, with health insurance, AND I can wear what I want?!".  But, with that kind of freedom, comes responsibility. You see, when they say "wear what you want", they mean as long as it's still appropriate for the office. i.e. - no mid drifts, no booty shorts, no mini skirts. So, for my own sake, and yours - I've complied the following little listicle of super chic (and super affordable), pieces for fall that will have you excited to get dressed for work in the morning. Imagine that. 1. Not Your Fathers Blazer   H&M - $129 (okay - this one isn't exactly "affordable" but it was so cute!) The key to making any outfit work for the office is a well-fitted blazer. These guys are making a BIG comeback this se...

Sneakers For The Girls Who DON'T Wear Sneakers

Image
A couple of posts ago, I talked about being a sneakerhead and listed my favorite drops of 2017 so far. I know that, like myself, there are tons of girls out there that love sneakers and are always keeping their eyes peeled for the latest, coolest releases.  But I got to thinking ... what about the girls who don't usually wear sneakers? The girls who only throw on trainers when they're going to the gym. I'm always badgering my girlfriends to ditch the boots & flats and try on some kicks, but never really thought to help them find styles they'd like and actually want to wear. So here we go, my curated list of sneakers for the non-sneakerhead girl. 10 pairs that'll surely spark some interest in all you girly girls out there! 1 - Adidas - EQT 91/16 Racing Sneaker - $120 I literally could not think of a more girly sneaker if I tried. These super cute Adidas are perfect for warmer weather & for those who typically eschew socks, even with closed toe shoes...

Denim on Denim on Denim

Image
Over the  last few years, there's been a rise and a shift in the way we as a society wear denim. No longer are we confined to just a basic pair of jeans, or a denim jacket. Patchwork, embroidery, frayed & dropped hems, colored denim - there are more options than you can even count when it comes to this generations true blues.  For this post, I've gathered up all my favorite denim trends we're seeing for Spring 2017, as well as where you can find them (click the store/site names under each photo for a direct link to the product!).  The Cropped Flare Kut from Kloth Belle Mild Wash Cropped Flare - $89 - on sale at  Macy's  for $45 Need Supply & Co. RE/DONE High Rise Flare Crop - $310 -  Needsupply.com The Crop Flare! Exactly as the name states, the cropped flare is a hybrid of the crop jean and the flare.
