Make your new wardrobe Madewell

Hey DSJers!  We've been super busy since the new year began, and have taken a short pause from blogging.  Now we're back, and we have tons of blog-worthy style tidbits coming your way soon!  Anyways, to kick off the return of our fashionista know-how, I'd like to talk to you about a small clothing company that is beginning to get lots of buzz:  Madewell.  Pioneered by the team of JCrew, Madewell maintains its sister store's appreciation for classic style, yet also embraces an edgy and casual identity.  Thus, it's no wonder they boast about their fabulous denim and assortment of graphic tees!  While their jeans are great, I personally have fallen for their super cute, ultra-feminine jumper dresses.  So far, Madewell only has a few stores throughout the country, in Dallas, Austin, Las Vegas, LA, and Short Hills, NJ.  For all you New Yorkers out there, they plan on opening the Manhattan store in March at Broadway and Broome St. but in the meantime, you must get to their temporary store at 532 Broadway (at Spring St).  HURRY!  THIS IS THE LAST WEEKEND IT WILL BE OPEN, and there's sure to be a mega-sale!  Happy Shopping!

Holiday Gift Idea

Now that the holiday gift season is officially underway, it’s time for me to start working on my shopping list. Of course, jewelry always tops the list as the best gift item, but this year I’ve found an additional something for us fashionistas. Being in style means you’re willing to take fashion risks; sometimes these decisions create the next greatest look, and sometimes they lead to wardrobe mishaps (like when I was recently mistaken as being soaked from the rain, rather than just wearing a white burn-out tee, hehe). New York Magazine’s great coffee table book, New York Look Book: A Gallery of Street Fashion includes over 200 photos from the magazine’s “look book” section, including the interviews, and a “where to shop” section. It’s the perfect home accessory for when your closet needs some new inspiration, or when you just need to laugh at the other people who join you in the world of fashion blunders.

Its freeezingg

So its officially FREEEZINGG in NYC, and since we must now be bundled up every time we leave the office, it really has reminded me that I am in need a cute hat. Growing up in a family of fashionistas, my mother always dressed me in blazers and plaid pleated skirts, with a pin on my lapel, and a beret. Looking at pics of myself in these outfits makes me laugh, but is it because of this exposure to high fashion as a 3 year old that the hat I am dying for right now is a beret??

Well I have been searching for the chicest one I could find at a reasonable price online and found this great beret from Urban Outfitters.

So off I go in my beret to eat a croissant at an outdoor cafe, I am just tres-chic.

Let's go shopping

It's finally getting colder for us east coast girls, and what's better than a new shopping site to update our fall wardrobes? Check out Shop Rellik, a nearest and dearest friend of Danielle Stevens, for that new pair of jeans or that fabulous chunky sweater this season. Happy Shopping!
