Wish List Wednesday: Forever 21 Finds

30 years old and still shopping at Forever 21. I can already picture my 40 year old self writing a similar post 10 years from now…hahaha! I live and I breathe fast fashion. Why spend hundreds on something you wear once when you could spend $30 or $40?! I have no shame – I love shopping at Forever 21 for precisely that reason. But let me let you in on a little secret. Last year I accompanied Nancy of Current Clothing to market in Los Angeles…buyers from “Bloomies” and buyers from Forever 21 “shop” at the same place. I learned that price does not always dictate quality. Your neighborhood boutique may sell a top for $65 when Forever 21 sells the same one for $30. The difference is the mom and pop store buys six while the big box retailer buys THOUSANDS. Click the corresponding numbers to shop my Forever 21 Finds 1. | 2. | 3. | 4. | 5. | 6. | 7. | 8. | 9. | 10. | 11. | 12. | 13. Alright, you already heard my schpiel about two piece sets. But if you’re new to my blog, simply put they’re effortlessly […]

Glossier Makeup Painting San Francisco Pink

Attention beauty connoisseurs: You have exactly six days left to experience Glossier makeup in San Francisco! This New York City based cosmetics company is the talk of the Mission District. Setup inside of Rhea’s Cafe, Glossier is painting the city pink! I kid you not… Let the fun begin when you enter 2200 Bryant Street. This space is a glamorous girl’s dream come true. A dozen vanities perfectly line the beauty counter. From there you can test product, converse with customers, or consult a Glossier expert. Featuring skincare, makeup, body and fragrance lines, prepare for lighter pocket books after a trip here. I cannot wait to try the moisturizer, and Soothing Face Mist. After all, a good base ensures a flawless finished face. In fact, Glossier products are designed to “bring out your best…the makeup becomes the fun part, not the fix.” I think we can all get behind that. I’m not gonna lie, I stalked the internet for the perfect outfit to wear to Rhea’s Cafe. As the Californians say, this place is “hella” instagrammable. Another two piece set to the rescue…suprise, surprise! This bodycon top and skirt combo is flirty and fun. The newspaper […]

Seersucker Pink Pants Fit for Barbie

If there was a Colombian Barbie, this would be her play house! No really though, I’ve said it once and I’m saying it again, the architecture in San Francisco is like no other. Picture this: perfectly manicured doll houses all lined up on display. I still get a kick out of sightseeing the homes in my very own neighborhood. It never gets old. Now what would Colombian Barbie wear inside of her play house? Simply put, all the glitz and glam…these pink seersucker pants, perhaps! Pink Seersucker Pants Seersucker holds a special place in my heart. I lived in Louisiana for five years – everyone down there owns a seersucker garment! These pink pants are a glamorous take on the traditional blue and white stripe print. Featuring a high waist and side zipper, these stunners make a statement without even trying. But aside from the aesthetic appeal, the fit is exceptional. I am wearing a size 2 and and no trip to the tailor is required. Hallelujah! Style tip: consider pairing 50 shades of pink with your seersucker pants. That’s what Barbie would do…just sayin’! Designer Dupes I’m a self-proclaimed Gucci girl. I do not own […]

Closet Cleanup

Spring has officially sprung! May the closet cleanup begin. Over the last couple of weeks I have been on a cleaning kick. I work from home and clutter makes me crazy. If my home is not in order, I cannot concentrate. So, I made it a mission to rid my closet of the clothes that I never wear. I had SO many with the tags still on them that I could have started my own brick and mortar store. Instead, I donated many items to Goodwill, but others are for sale on Poshmark and thredUP. What is leftover will come with me to Femme Fair on April 21st. If you’re petite or know a gal who is, send her my way! So how does one begin the closet cleanup process?! Start by removing all of the items you haven’t worn in six months or more. If you didn’t know you had ‘em, there’s no way you’ll miss ‘em. Next, sort the items into two piles: what you should donate, and what you should sell (keeping in mind that thrift stores and other re-sale stores don’t want out-dated styles either). After that, skim through the remaining items in your […]
