My Favorite Stores (Plus How I Get the Best Deals)

Here is a list of some of my favorite clothing stores to shop at as well as some tips and info that can help you save money at these and other stores

1.) Francesca's: You've probably noticed that most of the clothes I have featured on this blog are from Francesca's. This place has the cutest styles and they are always up to date on the latest trends. Their have very decent prices, especially because the quality of all of their products are really good. It is literally impossible for me to walk in there without buying at least a pair of earrings. (Currently there is a sale, BUY 1 GET 2 40% OFF)


2.) TopShop: TopShop is my favorite clothing store in Chicago! (Sadly I don't have a full store in Ohio so I rely on the TopShop section in Nordstrom). The store has a wide variety from edgy to sweet and offers a wide arrange of price points. They always have jewelry items on sale that are a steal. Overall most of the clothes are great quality and if you don't have a store near you I recommend shopping on their website. (Currently 50% select items online)


3.) J.Crew Factory: J.Crew is amazing I love it so much great quality, great styles, I rely on them for my basic staples as well as workwear. Although it can get expensive, that is why I love the J.Crew Factory. I am not sure if there are any stores in Ohio but on their website you can find great J.Crew clothes and styles at a fraction of the price. They are also always offering deals and promotions on their website that can save you even more money. (Currently there is a special BOGO for shorts)


4.) ModCloth: ModCloth is my favorite place to shop online, because not only do they have adorable and quirky styles but they also have a great and simple return policy. ModCloth is only available online but it has a huge selection of clothes, accessories and home goods. They also have a vintage section which is to die for. My favorite section is their swimsuits. My favorite swimsuit is from their and I love the wide selection they have. Also you can order a bunch to try on and easily return the ones that don't fit. (Currently there is a sale on FREE SHIPPING)


Saving Tips:

  • If you are a student ALWAYS take advantage of student discounts. Everywhere you go whether it is a restaurant, store, or membership, never be afraid to ask if they offer a discount for students. Even the places I mentioned above (Francesca's, TopShop, and J. Crew all offer student discounts)
  • Sign of for email alerts from your favorite stores. I know they can get super annoying and fill up your inbox but they are the best way to learn about special sales and promotions. You can also receive deals that you wouldn't be able to receive unless you are part of the email subscription.
  • Take advantage of changing seasons and sales. If you are shopping and you see something you like that was just released, hold off on buying it for awhile. Odds are once even newer clothes are released this item will go on sale or clearance and will have a pretty significant price reduction. This tip can also help stop you from buying something just because it is "on trend" If you still like it when the trend has fizzled then it is a keeper.

Starting With the Basics

Image
For my first official blog post I decided to start with a classic. And what is more basic and classic than a white button down shirt and jeans. I love the casual breeziness of this look and the fact that is it a true classic staple. I decided to amp up this look with a bold red lip and a large floppy hat.  This look is also perfect for this springtime, when the weather is nice but you're not quite ready for shorts and a tank just yet.  One thing you should know about me now, is that I always like to have fun with style. Whether it's fun prints, statement accessories, or bold makeup I will always do my best to bring my look up a notch but still feel comfortable and confident in my look. Because honestly it doesn't matter if you are wearing the most basic or out there thing, if you wear it with confidence you will always shine!  Tell me some of your favorite classic pieces? What is a item that you think will never go out of style? Feel free to comme...

My Fall Break: Doing All Things Autumn in One Weekend

Image
Ya this is about a week late, sorry but I've been pretty busy (sadly my senior thesis isn't going to write itself) But I did recently have a great Fall Break back in Ohio. During this break I succeeded in my goal to do all things Fall related. I arrived Friday night, so first on Saturday I went to the farmers market with my friend Jess. Also on Saturday my dad and I went to the Ohio State game (my first time actually attending an OSU game if you can believe it). It was so much fun we walked around beforehand and checked out the tailgating scene. Going to Loyola I miss out on football tailgating so it was great to experience it. We also saw the marching band perform before the game which was also a great experience. The actual game was a lot of fun, even though it was pretty stressful. Even though it was 80 degrees it was still a perfect fall activity. Also that weekend my family and I went to a corn maze and market. The corn maze itself was fun (not very decorated or diffi...

Im Back Baby!

Goodbye Ohio Hello Chicago! It feels so great to be back in the city to start another school year. Junior year honestly creeped up on me so quickly I'm still in shock. Every year I'm worried about adjusting back to city life after a whole summer back in my home town and every year the second I get back I am right back in the swing of things city views I can't wait to see what this school year has in store for me. New classes, New internships, Friends old and new, and New experiences galore. Be ready for more posts coming up where I give a tour of my new crib (best decor yet), showcase my new work wardrobe, try my hand at cooking, and just share new experiences in this city I have chosen to become home. And FYI Ohio is still home to me (It is possible to have more than 1 home) 1st day of classes outfit Also I am a person who focuses more on School Year Resolutions, as opposed to New Years Resolution. This year my resolutions are to focus on my own happiness and ...
