[Reformed] Mallrat

These joggers are another purchase from River Island's Doha, Qatar location. Although it's possible to shop online, it was fun to actually visit one of the stores––yes, even though it was in a mall! I've definitely grown out of the "let's go to the mall" phase. (Growing up in central Washington, there really wasn't much else to do!) My preference is small boutique stores or shopping online. I'd choose either of these over a mall any day!

How about you? How do you get your fashion fix––malls or online shopping?

Where the Sidewalk Ends

One of the many privileges in life is having the power of choice. Choosing something for yourself, and being satisfied with that choice, can propel you in ways taking the lead from someone else could never do. Today, I encourage you to trust yourself and take a step in faith. There's always something more, even when you think you've arrived at the sidewalk's end.

Hey, Trina!

Hey savvy stylista! Nordstrom Rack is having a huge sale on Trina Turk! Hurry fast because items are going out of stock like mad. Take a look below to see some of my favs!

The Nerissa Dress was first to catch my eye because it reminded me of a dress in Trina Turk's 2007 collection. That dress had a multi-colored, irredecent-esq vibe throughout its dotted print. It was intriguing and perfect. Til this day I still wish that dress was in my wardrobe.

You know how I've said if it doesn't say "look at me" I don't want it? Surely the Tall Tales suit covers this requirement! How fab is this print?!

Does it get any better than this leather jacket? It's pretty much out of stock in black, but it's quite lovely in Lake. I need you. I want you. Oh, baby. Oh, baby.

Playful, colorful tops, or simply black and white... imagine the possibilities with the Zip Suki pant!

Which pieces are your favs? If you head over to Nordstrom Rack dot com to make a purchase let me know!

To the Max

Some people prefer fall fashion because it's the kick off to layering seasons. I'm all for the creative outlet that this offers, but I am-- and always will be-- a summer girl! And, what's more perfect for summer than light-weight dresses? Thanks to Mossimo at Targét, all prayers are answered! I've got my maxi dress and my plaid (you know it's been on my mind); now all I need is a Southside or Moscow Mule and I'm set! (;
