Back To School Shops: Where to Go

Saturday, July 27th, 2013

Back to school is one of my favorite times of year! I love it when the stores start coming out with the notebooks folders, and pencils. It can be overwhelming though, so I’ve broken down the best stores to shop for BTS.

To trick out your locker: Walmart has lamps, wallpaper, even air freshener!

For cute notebooks and folders: Target is great for pretty patterns and witty sayings, but for the hottest celebs head to Walmart.

For graphic tees: Kohls has everything you need from cool bands to fun characters. (Like Hello Kitty!)

For the funkiest dresses around: Head to Hot Topic for edgy cool styles.

For jeans that won’t break the bank: Go to Old Navy! They have every wash, every color, and every size.

Hope this helped you find you BTS style.

 

One of a Kind Fashion!!

Tuesday, July 2nd, 2013

This past weekend, I had the fabulous experience of attending the Randolph Street Market in Chicago, IL.  It was amazing! I saw some fabulous one of a kind pieces and got to meet amazing people. Here’s my roundup of the top places to visit.

  •  Gypsy Temple has authentic Indian and Nepali clothing, jewelry, shoes, and materials. Everything’s completely original, and the prices are great. I’d recommend this to anyone with a bohemian style and an appreciation for culturally inspired finds.
  •  Weber Antiques, based in Grayslake, IL, is a great place for antique vintage jewelry. It has a treasure trove of well-priced yet exquisitely beautiful jewelry and distinctive gemstones. The owner enjoys sharing stories of some of his vintage pieces. This jewelry stand is one of my favorites.
  •  Danielle Russo has a selection of jewelry with a rocker-inspired aesthetic. Check out her stand for statement conversation pieces that are sure to get noticed. (Check out her Etsy shop too!)
  •  GreenFoxStyle/Vertmoderne is amazing! Whatever you’re looking for, whether that be amazing vintage purses or recycled jewelry, they have. I love the interesting materials they use! (Like tiny rubber bands in jewelry)! Check out the Etsy shops!

All in all, Randolph Street market is a phenomenal destination for anyone who loves one of a kind fashion. Missed it this month? No worries! There are several more markets this year. 2013 dates are as follows.
