My absolute favorite place to go thrifting is…

June 13, 2013

Goodwill South Portland (555 Maine Mall Road). A friend recently reminded me that though I’m constantly telling people to go here, and I’m always finding great clothes here, I’ve never actually blogged about it before! Sac le bleu! So for the good of this blog, and the world, I thought I’d take you along on my most recent thrifting trip.

What does Dad really want for Father’s Day?

June 12, 2013

Booze. I’ve finally come to terms with the fact that buying men alcohol as a gift is always a crowd pleaser. But since I like to pair thoughtfulness with practicality, here’s a few “pairings” if you will, of Father’s Day drinks and gifts that will please any Pops.

I tried on my Mother’s wedding dress and I didn’t hate it

June 11, 2013

Let’s be honest. Styles change with the times. It’s easy to get caught up in trends, especially when you’re looking for a wedding dress.

June 07, 2013

And can we talk about the fact that MECA now offers a Textile & Fashion Design major?! When this lovely lady told me that was her major, my jaw dropped. I actually had to hold back tears and literally contain myself. Portland is just one step away from being a fashion capital. I knew it.

When it comes to style, start them young

June 06, 2013

I met this chic Mother/Daughter duo while they were in town for a road race. I’m guessing the most exciting thing about being a parent is being able to dress your child. Am I right?

The sunblock rules you’re probably breaking

June 05, 2013

I’m a bit of a sun worshiper. Do I always wear sunblock when I’m in the sun? Yes. Do I love laying out in the sun? Yes. These two are often counter productive. A new article came out in the New York Times that educated me about using sunscreen and I learned a few tricks I’ll be putting to use this summer.

Three new ways to wear denim

June 04, 2013

It’s that time of year in Maine where we have 90 degree and 40 degree days in the same week. Before you go into full on fashion confusion mode, I tapped our favorite stylist Ashley Jordan to give us a couple outfit ideas for the finicky weather using something everyone has in their closet: denim!
