The Black Friday EDIT: Only the places really worth looking at.
I am normally very anti Black Friday and until very recently so was the Fashion Industry. I remember going with my mother to get our discounted Sonicare toothbrushes first thing in the morning at Costco but when we got to my favorite retailers nothing really was on sale. Perhaps it is the retail climate itself that has drastically changed this dynamic or the price competition that seems to be driving down the retail price for every major retailer in the country, but regardless of the reason it is undeniable that everyone now participates in the Black Friday weekend mayhem. So we might as well find some deals right? I am…

4 Tips for Wearing the Patchwork Trend Like a Pro (And Not Like Your Mother)
The 70s were a crazy time of experimentation for the world and for fashion and some of the trends that emerged weren’t the most logical or the most attractive. So little did we think (or rather did our parents think) that 40 years later we would be reviving some of the more um… interesting trends such as the miraculous hodge-podge that was the Patchwork trend.

Zara Does Isabel Marant for FW15
Isabel Marant is perhaps one of the most coveted fashion designers around, why? Regardless of how what the dominant trends of the season are she makes clothes that are for the every woman, in other words they couldn’t be more wearable. This may explain why season after season items from her collection gain cult status and become must-haves in every woman’s wardrobe. Every woman that is that can afford over $1k for an article of clothing and I am not ashamed to say I am not that woman. That’s where Zara steps in.

The Top 4 Hottest Boots For Fall
This time every year we start breaking out our fall and winter boots and transitioning into ‘boot season’ aka the season where all you wear is boots because it is cold/windy/rainy/etc. While this is definitely my favorite season I always find year after year that because I wear boots almost exclusively in the fall I tend to break down my boots fairly quickly which leaves me with a smaller boot wardrobe than I started with at the end of the season. To remedy that this year I am starting out by investing in at least one new pair of boots so that I can have a higher rotation among my…
