Daily Deal feat. Raga

L.A. based Raga is quickly becoming the go-to brand for festival dressing this summer. Using classic Indian inspired prints and techniques, they create pieces that the modern boho wants to wear. Most pieces are already priced under $100, but lucky for us I found a huge cache of the line on MyHabit for even less! See my favorites below and rock on!

Once Upon a Time ...

I was obsessed with anything Abercrombie. In the 90's, they were heavily inspired by vintage American workwear and every piece had its own special detail. In a way they remind me of what Ralph Lauren's Denim & Supply line is doing today. The 2000's were not kind to Abercrombie as they took on a glittery Britney-era persona that was anything but cool. Today they're exploring their roots with a cool girl twist. Back are the vintage washes and super soft fabrics. Back is the timeless menswear inspired outerwear. Yes, a lot of it is young (hello crop tops), but there are definitely items that fit in with my adult life. And their sales? Killer.

My favorites have to be their knitwear, sweatshirts, and graphic tees; just like the old days.

Boyfriend cardigan- $27 (was $58)

High-low turtleneck sweater- $27 (was $68)

Wool-blend marled sweater- $27 (was $68)

Boyfriend sweatshirt- $29 (was $58)

Graphic tee- $13 (was $34)

Graphic muscle tank- $11 (was $28)

Burnout graphic tee- $13 (was $34)

Georgette midi skirt- $20 (was $50)

Wool-blend herringbone coat- $88 (was $220)

Waxed jacket- $104 (was $260)

Sale Alert feat. South Moon Under

Have you guys ever shopped east coast boutique South Moon Under? I first "discovered" them in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware years ago and they have since popped up at beach and urban locations from Philadelphia, PA to Richmond, VA. Originally opened as a surf shop in 1968, South Moon Under now carries some of your favorite brands like Free People, Joe's Jeans, and Frye and some brands you may not know yet like D.ra, Greylin, and Joa.   And of course, they still host a killer swim selection featuring Roxy, Mara Hoffman, and Vix.

Daily Deal feat. Move by Alternative Apparel

I don't do yoga, but Alternative Apparel's Move collection makes me want to. The L.A. based company started out doing basic t-shirts and sweatshirts in soft organic cotton. They have since evolved into fashionable ready-to-wear knit and wovens in their signature vintage inspired fabrications. A few years ago they launched "Move," a collection of comfortable, easy to move in pieces that look just as great at the yoga studio as they do at Trader Joe's.

I don't think this collection is as performance driven as I would need it to be to actually work out in, but I would love to add these pieces to my errand running wardrobe, especially come spring time.

Alternative Apparel "Stretch It Out" Bra- $14 (was $42)

Alternative Apparel "Keep It Simple" Bra- $14 (was $42)

Alternative Apparel "Let's Dance" top- $14 (was $42)

Alternative Apparel "Chin Up" pants- $28 (was $82)

Alternative Apparel "Santa Cruz" jumpsuit- $29 (was $84)

As much as I'm loving stocking up my winter wardrobe during this unusually good clearance season, I can't help looking ahead to spring and summer. The boho girl in me is missing my paisley prints, airy blouses, and caftans. Though it's still early for all that, there's probably nothing more transitional than a big beautiful scarf that you can wear at the office now and as a sarong on the beach in a few months. Celebrity favorite Theodora & Callum  has been delivering jet-set ready, 70's inspired scarves and ready-to-wear since the early 2000's. Inspired by their travels in Africa, Morocco, and beyond, their pieces are guaranteed to give you a Diane von Furstenburg moment.  Normally, a scarf will run $175 and up. But fortunately for us, MyHabit has an assortment of their accessories and clothing starting at 70% off.

Theodora & Callum linen blend scarf- $34 (was $175)

Sale Alert!

Happy Saturday! Madewell is once again having an additional 30% off of their sale items. But this week, they have a lot of Fall/Winter 2014 denim marked down to $49.99 (or $34.99 after the additional 30%). It's so good you'll want to chuck your entire denim drawer and start over. And as always, shipping is free and fast (and so are returns on denim!).

Below are some of my basic and fashion faves.

An edgy coated motorcycle jean with pintucked detail at the knee. Also available in a dreamy merlot. 

A great basic dark wash with whiskering. The cropped length lets you show off a festive shoe or detailed bootie.

The slouchy denim trend continues to be hot, but Madewell's Slim Boyjean is a happy medium. Not too skinny, not too slouchy, you'll want to wear these with everything.

A cleaner take on the moto jean, these have great zippered pockets and jodhpur-inspired seaming details.

I've been a fan of NYC based shoe designer Matt Bernson for a long time. His well-made shoes bridge the gap between timeless and trendy perfectly and give every outfit an effortless cool-girl feel. It's no wonder he has a huge celebrity following. Well-made shoes can be expensive, but lucky for us, TJMaxx just delivered a small selection of Matt Bernson styles. And you won't believe the discount! You're welcome.

They are yet another one of the online discount department stores that have improved their offerings dramatically over the last few years. AND they're opening a new location in my neighborhood next month (in addition to the TJ Maxx and Nordstrom Rack!!), so Brooklyn girls stay tuned for a locals-only discount.
