May 16, 2013

Caitlin Pierce is the popular fashion blogger behind Wore Out, a Burlingtonian style blog. She weighs in on fashion in the 207, why she insists on living in VT and answers the question: are Mainers more fashionable than Vermonters? I think we all know the answer to that one…

Wait until you see this outfit that Tania, who works at El Rayo, pulled together from Goodwill. This entire look probably cost $10 or less and girl looks like a million bucks.

A week ago Shay Stewart-Bouley, blogger behind Black Girl in Maine, sent out a tweet about Spanx that had me in stitches. I’ve asked her to weigh in on shapewear here as she discusses what being wrapped like a sausage feels like — and how to break free of the shapewear bondage!

These freshman students from Bates bring a whole new meaning to the term “looking good together”. They also seem to be friends that either get dressed together in the morning or have friend fashion ESP. And yes I just made up that term. Check out these cuties!

I’m not an insect person in real-life, but they sure do look cute on a t-shirt. I love her casual, weekend attire. Her Rogues Gallery bee (or are those hornets?) v-neck and skirt were purchased at Find — where she also happens to work.

I love denim shorts which I will also lovingly refer to as “jorts”. I absolutely live in them once summer hits. I think they look good dressed up with heels or dressed down with sandals. When I spotted this pair in town, I thought they might just be the perfect inspiration for an upcoming DIY project.

Nothing makes me more pleased than gently stuffing my down jackets, scarves, mittens and wooly things into a big plastic bin until next year. Godspeed gloves! Farewell fleece! And hello spring jackets.

Spotted in the street: fresh fashion, fresh flowers!

March 27, 2013

I was bursting with glee when I spotted this sweet MECA student, a Connecticut native (tri-state pride!) walking down Congress Street with some sizable stems. I haven’t seen someone carrying fresh flowers in so long that I’m certain this is a sign that winter is gone and spring is here. Officially.
