Street Vile: Couples Edition

2nd Runner-Up: Matching whites, brights, and tennies. The wife really led this couple to near victory with her cargo bell-bottoms and denim bag.


Runner-Up: Another matching couple, but this time up top with their blue wife-beaters. However, it was the husband's semi-mullet and army boots that pulled them through.


Grand Winner: A couple with equal amounts of style. Fluffy brown hair, Hawaiian print shirt, backwards cap, suede backpack. Teamwork, teamwork.

Forever 21: DC Grand Opening!!

This Saturday was the grand opening of DC's first Forever 21 (there are tons in the metro area but none actually in the District). All customers got 10% off, which in F21 terms is a lot. It's located in the Woodies Building at 1025 F Street NW if you want to go!

As much as I'm into F21's clothes, I was more impressed by the workers' style. They were incredibly creative and bold - I loved them! I also ran into a customer or two who looked beautifully put-together. Get inspired!

Ahh, just bought her shoes from Urban!

The weekend my wallet hated me...

July has incredible sales apparently... haven't noticed before. Here are (most of) my purchases!

My favorite purchase of the week:


BDG shoes - Urban Outfitters, $19.99, orig. $48


Blazer - H&M, $20, orig. $35


Circle scarf - Commander Salamander, $4, originally $12


Lace top - Charlotte Russe, $15
I was surprised to see this store have some decently cute clothes!


Bonjour tank - Forever 21, $11.70


Gray striped tee - UO, $9.99, orig. $18



Scalloped shorts - F21, $26
Since I can't exactly afford the Chloe version (as seen here on FabSugar), I opted for a much cheaper version from F21. They came with a tacky rhinestone belt but I'll replace it with a leather breaded one.


Red striped shirt - F21, $7, orig. $12


Sequin top - F21, $34
The most expensive item I've ever bought from F21!

One Trend I Won't Latch Onto...

You will not see me wearing these:


Elle Street Chic


Opening Ceremony

Leather mini skirts and shorts: too hot for sweaty summer, too cool for fall. I see no point. Do you think the impact is worth the lack of utility?
