Two online stores that you might not know about

I decided to talk about two of my favorite places to shop online. I know that a lot of you spend a good deal of time online and shopping online is  a great way to preview look that you want to try on in store. I usually don't buy clothes online unless I know my size from trying it on in store before. However I will order bags, accessories, and shoes (sometimes) online. 

store.americanapparel.net is the first online store I wanted to clue you guys in on. While I am sure many of you have heard about american apparel by now, you might not know that they have a great online store. What makes this online store so great? Well if you have ever shopped at an american apparel store, you should know that they do not have sales, however, the online store does have sales. This makes it a great place to buy stuff you have found in store online when it goes on sale. I also love there deals online for basic tees and other items that you might want to buy more of. They often have 3 packs of these items. One last reason why I frequent the american apparel online store: They have a link on there main page with up coming items, and that gives me something to look forward to trying.



Anthropologie.com is the second online store. Many of you may not know that anthro is owned by urban outfitters, making it a great solution store for people who like urban style, but feel that they might be out growing it.  While anthro has a bit more of a laid back earthy feel to it, it still packs an edgy urban punch. Both the store and online store feature household and lifestyle items in addition to clothes. 

So go check it out!

Seriously loving: Gossip Girl

So obviously I am obsessed with gossip girl, and if by now you haven't seen it I command you to go watch it. I have been in love with gossip girl since I was in high school reading the books. The characters are so colorful you could always really see yourself in their world.
Now being that I am from NYC, I was really happy when I found out that they were filming the show here and not somewhere in cali trying to make it look like out wonderful city. It's the same reason that Sex and the City was so great, because the city is a character of its own. 
What brings this all to a want, wish, need blog post is that right now I am really wanting Blake Lively's (who plays Serena Van Der Woodson) color palette for clothes. Now my colors right now have mostly been black, white and grey. And while I am loving these colors for winter I am also loving the beautiful, warm shades of brown that are in this characters wardrobe. 
The staple of brown leather riding boots, and brown jackets has really changed my current wardrobe.  Mixing brown with white and blue, is a great classic combo that is really hard to mess up right now. 
So go out and try it for yourself.
