News, news, news….

thrift stars of the week! 26 Feb 08

Hey kids!
Here are your super-amazing wardrobe remix thrift stars this week.

This shoe/tights combo could be worn with a really bad bridesmaid dress and still be screaming chic.

If you know me at all (or can read the site description), you know that I’m mad about color, prints and audaciousness in general. But now that bright colors have been a trend for so long, classic black is seeming downright fresh. Here are a few international streetstyle picks demonstrating the impact of black and […]
