THINKING PINK ALL OCTOBER

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we're pulling out our inner Elle Woods and thinking pink.  One in eight women in the United States will develop invasive breast cancer in the course of her lifetime, making this statistic a scary reality. It seems breast cancer hits close to home for everyone, with friends of Jess's family and Jill's grandmother a victim. In honor of these strong women who suffer, we're pretending like every day is Wednesday, and wearing our pink proudly all month!

IT'S A PLAID, PLAID WORLD

Maybe it's because I am a total 90s kid at heart, but I've always found room in my closet for a little plaid. Sure, my plaid skirts as a kid probably weren't as... well, structured, as they are now, it's one of those styles you don't have to look back on in shame. So check out some of my favorite pieces that incorporate probably the only trend Kurt Cobain and I would agree on.
