My style has always been what you might consider to be "casual chic." I love basics like jeans, tank/tee with a nice pop thanks to a printed jacket, statement jewels or killer heels.So when it comes to pulling a weekend look together that's fashionable and functional, I stick with a basic formula I know will work well. This week I rocked a few thrifted garments with affordable, comfortable pieces from Hanes. 
What: Blue QWhy: Items like socks, coin purses, soap and totes can be a bit basic {i.e. boring!}, but not when they have fun, quirky designs. If you're looking for a little something cute for yourself or as a gift, you'll love Blue Q. 
What typically happens when I do an on-air fashion segment is I return the clothing. Well, during my last Today Show appearance, I loved a dress so much, I went back to the store and bought it.While I gravitate towards bold prints and structured garments, sometimes it's the most basic pieces that have a huge impact. That's what happened with this H&M tank dress that was just $12.95. It goes with everything and has been in heavy rotation in my closet for the past two months. 
What: Passive Juice Motel, a source for pop culture tanks, tees and totes.Why: Who doesn't love supporting independent retailers that have adorable pieces? 
I'm so excited to host a fun event at Macy's Herald Square tomorrow {Tuesday, 7/28} It's with a brand I know, love and I'm sure you'll love it, too. If you're in NYC, I hope you'll join me.Dormify, the online retailer for college room decor, is debuting their line at Macy's. In addition to learning more about and shopping the Dormify collection {it's specifically for the college crew, but trust me, the pieces are cute and functional for anyone!}, the evening will have DIY stations, music, light bites, flash tattoos and even a lipstick fortune teller.
