Box of Style

Box of Style 1 The combination of us moving into a new house + the beginning of the summer has led to some serious shopping sprees for me. Many of those shopping carts that had been filled up and abandoned, have been seriously revisited as of late. It has something to do with the epic feeling of new beginnings and the inevitable desire to update my wardrobe for the summer. With John being a teacher, he tends to make it home before I do and lately I can count on texts rolling in around 4’oclock asking me “what have you done now?” Countless Free People, Nordstrom & Victoria’s Secret packages have been arriving on our doorstep and what can I say – I just can’t help it.

Doing the Unstuck

Nothing says Happy Friday quite like a good ole soliloquy on feeling stuck, because let’s face it: everyone has times when this blah feeling creeps into their life.  There are different remedies depending on the stickiness of the situation, and if I had to make a comparison between concrete, quicksand (a phobia of mine since The Jungle Book), and mud – I would compare my recent sticky situation to being stuck in the mud.

While said advice was awesomely insightful, the conversations ended with me, myself, and that still very much stuck feeling (kind of like after a shopping therapy session at Barney’s).  After a couple of tries at the getting-advice-game, I came to the realization that I was trying to get someone or something to pull me out of the mud. However, this time, I needed to use my own muscles to pull myself out.

A bug in my ear by a major designer led to to a brainstorm session with Cath years later, and it’s a great feeling to finally be doing something that I feel so passionate about.  Let me tell y’all how it all got started.

Collaboration Supported by Marks and Spencer & Shopping Links but all opinions remain my own.marks and spencer 6

I’m sure all of you fashion freaks (I say this term with so much endearment because Reb + I are both in this fashion freak category) are well aware of Marks and Spencer collaboration with the style queen, Alexa Chung. She debuted it at London Fashion week and had everyone anxious to get their hands on it. With a few sell outs between then and now, Reb and I were excited to work with Marks and Spencer and check out Alexa’s collaboration and their summer collection. We both snagged pieces from the Archive by Alexa collection and the customer satisfaction on our end is off the charts. (more…)
