While I attended a few shows during Fashion Week, one of my absolute favorites was the ELLE Runway Collection by Kohl’s. No, not just because I love the affordability of Kohl’s, but this collection was showcasing the Fall 2014 line, which means everything is available right now. Unlike other shows, there’s no need to wait until spring! The Elle collection had a Parisian influence with tons of black and wide, feminine skirts and dainty prints. Check out a few behind the scenes shots of the runway show, as...

It’s been a great five years and I’m excited for what’s to come. Besides my thrift shopping ebook that’s being released next week, you’ll see...

This weekend I went shopping with my cousin since she wanted to find an outfit for an 80s pool party, so we naturally went to Joyce Leslie. The affordable fashion retailer is a staple on the East Coast. Until this weekend, I hadn’t stepped foot in one of the stores in years, but as an undergrad, I shopped at Joyce Leslie at least every other week when I wanted a cute $20 dress. Though quite a few of the clothes were adorable, I also saw some major misses. Check...
