Spring Picks from Bear & Twine
You may remember a little ol’ feature I did on my blogger friend Marlen a little while ago. Well since then she’s pulled another project out of her sleeve — a fantastically curated Etsy shop, Bear and Twine Vintage, full of vintage finds for every occasion. Marlen’s shop is full of, not clothes, but “carefully … Read more
Luxe Leather
Winter in Chicago is, well… cold. And sometimes it’s just too hard to look trendy and keep warm at the same time. Luckily, all you need for this is a pair of leather pants and a faux fur coat. Wearing a Topshop faux fur coat and leather trousers with an F21 tie-dye long-sleeved tee and … Read more
Pretty Grunge
This vintage floral skirt that I found at a thrift shop a few years ago and altered has been a trusty fall-back item. Black tee, leather jacket, skirt, boom. Instant outfit. I paired my vintage floral skirt with a black peplum t-shirt from Forever21. The flare at the waist of the shirt in combination with … Read more
Girly Linebacker
I’ve been really into “trousers” lately. I guess calling them something other than pants makes me feel more grown up and sophisticated. Truth is, 23 is an awkward age when you’re both too young and too old. I try to remedy this situation with my wardrobe — mixing classic, adult pieces with edgier, youthful trends. … Read more
Monster Sweater
Bought a sweater that a little kid would love just as much as a grown man. I paired a Forever 21 monster graphic sweater (two sizes too big) with skinny leather trousers from Topshop for a look that is comfy but pulled together. The Cooperative beanie I’m wearing is my absolute favorite, and the pointed … Read more
Snakeskin and Ox Blood
Rocking three of fall’s most predominant trends — snakeskin print, ox blood, and a monochromatic color scheme. WHAM. I got this sweater at LF Boston on my trip out there to visit my boyfriend a couple weeks ago. There’s no LF in Chicago (LF peeps, if you’re out there reading this, PLEASE PLEASE open one here), so … Read more

Nature Punk
I owe my animal-obsessed friend for telling me about this awesome girl, Nature Punk. I don’t know Nature Punk’s real name, but she has her bio and mission statement on her blog. Rather than attempt to summarize what she’s all about, here’s an excerpt in her own words: Conserving the world’s natural spaces and the creatures … Read more
