“I’d say this outfit is very representative of my personal style – a mix of rough and smooth. That has never been deliberate or at the front of my mind, but I feel it when the right balance is achieved.”

“And yeah, I’m definitely a jeans person.”

“I keep my basics really simple so that I can accessorize with things that are fun and different. I edit my wardrobe down to a few pieces and rotate it by adding fun, unique, and different accessories.”

“Retro Superfuture sunglasses are one of my favorite brands. We chose to carry them in the store for a few reasons. The price point is fantastic – they compete with Ray Bans in the $120 to $200 range – and the quality is exceptional. Hand made in Italy!”

“Obviously, silly bands started as a childish trend but there’s something about it that really resonates with me. I love meeting new people and gifting or exchanging them. There are a few that make me laugh every time I look at it because I remember the person or circumstances under which I acquired them.”

“I wear everything I own – often. After working consistently with clothes, I enjoy the ease of repetition day-to-day, like a uniform.”

“I subconsciously roll my shirt and pant hems up. I guess I like my forearms free!”

“I rarely wear color – typically it’s just denim, black, grey, or white. But the fit of the dress was perfect and the ruching makes it surprisingly forgiving”

“Fortune Favors the Brave is a contemporary jewelry line with Southwestern-influenced pieces. It really fits well with the aesthetic of the store.”

“If an outfit requires a belt I’ll wear this one. It toughens up anything that’s too gentle or feminine.”

“I was drawn to the unique pattern of these shoes. I worried it would restrict my ability to wear them as often as I’d want to but it hasn’t.”

“My legs are always out, especially in the summer months. I rarely wear short shorts but I usually pair it with flats or chunky shoes and cover more on top to balance it out.”

“This Givenchy messenger bag is my favorite but I’m partial to the brand. I care about comfort, functionality, and a clean look more than any designer name.”

“The necklace belonged to my great-grandmother. I inherited it when she passed away eight years ago. I’ve worn it almost every day since. And I purchased the rosary from a random jeweler around the corner from the store on Delancey Street in the Lower East Side.”

“They’ve been worn like sneakers for years, survived countless nightclubs and festivals. I haven’t seen this style anywhere else. It was really difficult to find and I searched on-line for days.”

“This is just a fun example of something I’d wear every day. The dress is from our vintage rack – the store’s always carried a small section of vintage. It’s a nice complement to throw vintage into the mix of otherwise all contemporary designers and definitely reflective of how I dress.”

“One Teaspoon clothing tends to have more of a distressed, unfinished look. This is something that Australian designers do really well. Seams and hems are left unsewn and I like that. Their pieces are functional and never fussy.”

“A shape to complement anyone’s style and face shape. Can’t beat it.”

“I got this bag from Selfridges, which was by far my favorite store in London. An example of exceptional branding – it’s not your grandmother’s department store.”

“The shoes wouldn’t be ideal for work but I usually have a pretty easy time with heels. I’ve heard that women walk differently in them and I think that’s true. I feel more feminine, confident, and mischievous.”
