1969

I haven't shopped at the GAP for a really long time. But, to my pleasant surprise I read that the GAP updated their denim collection, so I decided to check it out.

I completely have fallen in love with GAPs new premium denim line- 1969. The GAP hired a new denim designer, Jason Sheeler, who has designed for Giorgio Armani and is using higher quality denim like that used in True Religions. Jason says that what makes the jeans premium is the fit. I agree. What makes me even more excited is the price. I picked up the Real Straight, Sexy Boot, and Always Skinny (in black) for the price of what one pair of my other "premium" denim jeans cost. Woohoo, look at me being thrifty! (almost).



Check it out and tell me if you agree. Another tip- the jeans shrink about 1/2 inch in length, but stretch out during wear about a half a size, so buy them snug.

Black & White

I use to make fun of the store White House Black Market for limiting their inventory to just two colors! Now, look what I came home with after my latest shopping trip...


Black and white!
Thank goodness my hair is a bright blonde right now!

Fall fashion is my favorite.
I love sweaters, jeans, hats and layers.
I love this years stripes and plaids.

LIVE IT/SHARE IT/WEAR IT - The Monument of Our Hearts

I tuned into Survivor for the first time since the second season to watch a friend of mine outwit, outplay, and outlast the other nineteen contests on Survivor Samoa. The show hasn't changed since I watched it in middle school, but CBS seems to be doing a really good job keeping the drama high with very volatile cast mates. I already have a deep dislike for Russell, the bully, as he is making the game a living hell for the yellow team. Thank goodness Brett is on the purple team right now!



Brett, has been pursing his dream of launching a cause-based clothing company, "The Monument of Our Hearts." The line strives to leverage his brand to actively support and advocate for health body image. I find the line and message so inspiring and much-needed in today's fashion. I also am so excited, being an entrepreneurship student myself, that Brett took the risk of opening his own label. If only I had the capital right now, I would fully invest in his company (let me know if you are interested and I will pass your name along to him). I am so glad he was able to display the clothes for the world on Survivor- great publicity for a great brand.


TMOOH just went live with the website a few weeks ago- check it out here: http://www.tmooh.com/ . You can't buy the clothing JUST YET, but it is coming soon. To check out some of the creative designs tune into Survivor on CBS Thursdays at 8 p.m.
