-Freida Pinto in a white Paca Rabanne accented with gold chains, also in a pink Michael Angel gown & then in a black Versace gown.

Had a fantastic night with the ladies of Madewell at their Short Hills location. As they can confirm, I have been a fan since the beginning and have done what I can to support them- mainly making as many friends as I can get their butts up their to fall in love as I have. And they do- each and every time. No matter what your everyday style is- Madewell is for you! I promise. And as the store that helped shape their entire brand, the gals in Short Hills do not dissapoint.  Sharonda, the Store Manager, has done a fantastic job at cultivating that team since the beginning! Every time I walk in, it’s like seeing my best friends. They make you feel at home. And beyond that are HONEST! They are not just trying to sell you on that one t-shirt (which btw theirs last forever!) or the one pair of jeans (that have been written up in almost every major publication and raved about since their debut- AMAZING fits!), they sell you on their concept. They seriously are just like your stylist and best friend all rolled into one. Thank you so much ladies for letting me a part of your first Style Event! Extra special shout out to Liberty who is now the Store Manager of their King of Prussia location for thinking of me! You go girl!!! And seriously, if you have not checked out Madewell- go! Either to their nearest location or their website. You will thank (and your bank account will hate) me later!

Pamela Love X J. Crew

My love for both only makes my love for their collaboration that much bigger. While watching, “The Fashion Fund” I noticed just how much, as I’m sure many others did, Pamela really lives and breathes her brand. Admittedly, J. Crew is not the first brand that comes to mind when I think of Ms. Love, but nonetheless, her aesthetic shines a breezy and more relaxed feel to the brand. Congrats Ms. Love!

just another recent shopping trip. snapped a few of my favs.
