[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?

If you grew up cruising the mall like me, check out this article from The Atlantic (Feb. 2015) on how malls in America are taking a shift.

From the runways of Rodarte and Repossi to the street style trendsetter, ear cuffs are a Spring fashion favorite. Below, Miranda Kerr wears a Ryan Storer cuff, and Cara D. and Alicia Keys compliment their perfectly coiffed updo's with statement pieces by Repossi.

Trend [ deCODEd ]

Every fashionista likes a good trend. Here are a few ways you can jump on board without breaking the bank:

River Island cuffs | ASOS, $8.48

House of Harlow 1960, $59

If your ears are pierced, there are longer, draping versions available, too. Try these from ASOS and Urban Outfitters. Also, this Samii Ryan spiked ear cuff at Nordstrom doesn't require piercing, but it'll still hang with the best of 'em!
