Online-ista

Because I live in a town where "fashion" is practically an unknown term, I either have to travel or depend on online stores to shop for clothes. Online shopping can be risky and so I stick to a few stores that have earned my trust, like Urban Outfitters and Forever 21. I love their clothes, they have reasonable prices and they have a respectable return policy.

Stores I have access to:
-TJ Maxx
-one designer ($$$) boutique
-numerous touristy beach shops

1 hour drive:
-Express
-Off Saks Fifth Avenue
-J. Crew
-Coach
-Gap
-Nine West

Fortunately, I have family in DC and New York. So all in all, it works out.

I never would have thought to check out JCPenny's selction because I've never been there, but I'm happy I did. Here's a peak into my wishlist:

$39.99 Knit Blazer -I would have guessed more like $80


$49.99 Ruffle Dress -how Gossip Girl is this?


$29.99 Riding Pant -favorite!


$24.99 Long Cardigan -versatile, potentially worth the money


What do you guys think? If you've shopped here before, was it worth it or do you think I should save my money?

Black Out

My closet contains a whole lotta black. It's probably my favorite color. It's timeless, powerful, edgy, flattering and guess what? It goes with everything. It's the foundation to any wardrobe and I just can't get enough of it! Plus, I don't know any other color you could wear all over without looking like a crayon.



Kenneth Cole Peacoat $163 at Nordstrom
Michael Kors "Jet Set" watch $250 at Dillards
Sequin dress $160 at Topshop
Zip tote $495 by Linea Pelle's Dylan
Alice & Oliva fringe tee $275 at Saks
Thigh-high boots $119 at Chinese Laundry
Drapped skirt $16 at Forever 21
DKNY lace tights $20 at Bare Necesities
Rock & Republic t-strap pumps $310 at Shopbop

I have a feeling I'll be investing in some more black very soon!
