On Trend: Bomber Jackets

November 15, 2016


Now that Fall is in full swing, it's time to trade in our shorts for boyfriend jeans, our sandals for leather boots, and our sun hats for scarves. 

As Sarah and I compile a list of our favorite things for Fall (a full list is in the works), we decided to give you a sneak peek of one item on the list, bomber jackets. 

Bomber jackets are perfect for Fall. They give you just enough warmth to fight those crisp Autumn winds, without making you break a sweat once you head indoors. Not only are they functional, but they can easily go from day to night with the help of a few accessories. 

The key to a good bomber is finding one that won't break your bank. As I was shopping this morning (in my pajamas and with a large coffee, as all online shopping should be done), I saw some jackets for as high as $1,300 (a jacket that costs as much as my rent?! No thanks!). So my friends, I decided to save you the gut-wrenching process of price tag heartbreak, and share my own list of cute and affordable bomber jackets!

My Favorite Pick: The Style Club "Babe" bomber from Nordstrom.  This jacket will keep you warm while showing off your sassy personality. 

Southern Sweetness: Cotton Candy Rose Gold Bomber from Behind the Glass. This boutique in Auburn, Alabama is my favorite place to shop. This satin bomber helps me bring a little bit of the South to NY, and as a bonus, it looks great with a baseball hat.

Classic Comfort: The Kasey Bomber from Brandy Melville. This is my favorite jacket for work. I can wear it with my high-waisted corduroy skirt and my Adidas, or my jeans and Converse to be comfortable all day. My favorite part about the Kasey is the fur lining, (faux of course!) which keeps me warm and cozy.

Cute With an Edge: Patches Zip-Up from Romwe. This bomber keeps you warm while showing some personality. The classic army green gives it a retro vibe, and as a bonus it is by far the most affordable jacket in my search!

Chic and Shining: Silence+Noise Metallic Bomber from Urban Outfitters. This jacket will help you shine bright and shine far on your night out. Wear it with a crop top or with a dress, and you are sure to stand out in the crowd. 

Now it's time to pour that glass of wine, get into your coziest pjs, and online shop to your heart's content!

Unemployed Chic

October 13, 2016


Hey there, beautiful people. Graduating college means a lot of things. It means that you can forget about homework and term papers (unless you’re writing a blog, then the essays will never end), you’re moving out of your parents’ house (or you’re staying and saving money, I envy you), and it means that suddenly you’ve gained a newfound independence that you’ve always thought you wanted. Here’s one thing I wasn’t looking forward to after graduating: financial independence. I know, I know, that’s supposed to be something that all young adults want, and I plan on working up to being excited about it, I swear, but at the moment the only thing I feel with this independence is how light my wallet feels. My new “adult spending” plan includes fun things like groceries, electricity, a Metro Pass, and not much else. This year in order to keep myself waist-deep in White Girl Wine, I’ve decided to embrace the “Unemployment Chic” look. Here’s five ways to keep yourself looking adorable and have enough money left over to treat yourself to that pumpkin spice latte:

We All Eat Fast Food Sometimes

Within in the first couple weeks of my big move to New York, I have learned a few things. Cheap Chinese food isn’t a bargain; it’s a death sentence. Your neighbors don’t like you walking across your apartment in tap shoes. When in Times Square, elbows can be used as weapons. Never make eye contact on the subway. All of these lessons are important and guarantee survival in the city, but the most important lesson thus far is the one that everyone tries to keep secret: no one knows what they are doing.
