Thrifted Find

Favorite Thrifted Find from this Week

One of my favorite things to do is to go thrift shopping. I love it. There is something wonderful about finding an absolute gem in a thrift or vintage store. It feels like a fashion excavation trip! Here’s what I found this week:

It’s a cutie cute skirt from Ann Taylor Loft!

What first grabbed my eye was the pattern. It can go with so many different types of tops and can be paired with tights or leggings when it’s a bit chilly. It’s conservative enough to wear to the office, but interesting enough to go to to a restaurant when the work day ends. The best part? It was cheaper than a latte at Starbucks.

This little beauty will not stay with me. I am going to pass it on to someone I love beacause I think she will get SO much use out of it. Plus, it’s just exciting to give someone a little gift for no reason at all other than to say, “you are wonderful!”

Have you been thrifting lately? Find anything good? Do tell!

P.S. I was quoted in the Washington Post Express today on an article regarding petite fashion. If you would like to read it go here.

Elle Music Video

Elle Magazine Creates a Music Video (And It’s Adorbs)

In an interesting “is this for reals” move, Elle Magazine just released a music video entitled “My Heelz.” The video was created in the Elle offices and stars junior editor Julia Vadnal (otherwise known as Julez in the video).

The thing is – it’s actually catchy. And funny. Not to mention it juxtaposes dancing (and some writhing) in the middle of a conference room and between cubicles. The adorable Julez actually has a descent voice and goes from overworked staffer to glampot throughout the course of the song.

Big kudos to Elle magazine for trying a new marketing tactic, not taking themselves too seriously, and putting out something that is silly but oh-so much fun.

Fashion magazine or the new venue for catchy pop music?

Do you think other magazines will start to produce music videos if this goes viral?
