Impulse Buy!

On the way to work this morning, I let my feelings about how I looked be known with the comment,"I might as well die...I hate my outfit." That may have been a little dramatic, but I really just didn't feel good about my staple Nicole Richie go-to outfit today.
The minute I got to work, I ransacked the racks and tried on all of my current Atticus favorites (Relwen men's shirts, Charlotte Ronson dresses and Filippa K Tanks) and the winner was the Loomstate La Paloma Jumper.

Even though I told myself I was going to stop shopping, it's impossible to feel guilty about this outfit. It looks so good, in fact, that I didn't even have to justify the purchase to Kristin (who already told me she'll be borrowing it...a lot).

The Justification:** Winter Jacket Advisory** (Since everyone seems to be making such a big deal over an epic foot of snow)

In case this happens to be the end of electricity and warmth as we know it, at least you can be sure to look good in these jackets for him and her.

Justification #1: The name of the jacket says it all. You boys will be ready to combat the snow like a crazy coupon wielding shopper fights the crowd on Black Friday. Except you won't be finding this jacket at the mall!


Justification #1: You ladies will look like a vision of grace in this peacoat, even if no one outside can see you because of the blinding whiteout.

The Justification: Blaze Orange Edition

Justification #1: Even if you have to sit in the cold at four in the morning watching for deer, at least you can still know you look good with ACNE jeans under your hunting gear!












Justification #1: And you'll look even better wearing a Relwen flannel with your ACNE jeans!

Justification #2: Not to mention flannel would be my fabric of choice if I had any interest in sitting out in the cold woods! But I don't get up before 9AM, so it will never happen!






And for you ladies...

While the guys are busy out hunting, you might as well take advantage of the situation and shop!

Justification #1: This dress is shiny but not overdone, and you'll be sure to turn heads.









Justification #1: These might possibly be the best tights you'll ever wear. And the people at Plush might possibly be the biggest geniuses ever for putting fleece in tights.

Justification #2: If you're not into tights, check out the fleece lined knee high socks.

Angelina Jolie

Sunglasses and little Shiloh sold seperately.













Nerd
I've never seen a more geek chic man in all my life.
only he had a pocket protector...










Lady Gaga

Top off the look with a handcrafted twine hair bow. Because really, who actually has the hair to do that?






Lumberjack

Please don't walk into the bars carrying an ax and a giant saw as props. And if you do, please don't tell them I suggested it. I'm too cute for jail.

The Justification: Back to School Outfits







Presenting my perfect 1st day of school outfit...unfortunately, it doesn't include my Barbie and the Rockers lunchbox and backpack.

Justification #1: I'm in love.
Justification #2: I think the outfit, not the books, makes me look studious.

Sorry it's a spontaneous photo shoot picture of me, but you get the idea of how amazing this outfit is together. Not all of the merchandise has been photographed yet but it will be up on the site by early next week for your enjoyment! (And yes, I know I already did an Ode to Wang, but this piece is new, cool and I'm obsessed)



Since I'm dreading going back to school this week, I might as well present the couple things that are keeping me from slipping into depression.

Justification #1: Ashley Watson bags are made from leather jackets and are big enough to fit my millions of books for school.

Justification #2: We also carry bags that the guys will love. They're so unisexy.

Right now, I'm having an internal conflict deciding between the Brant in Butter and the Teal in Olive.
So, my suggestion is that someone buys one of those two and make my mind up for me!


Justification #1: They're comfortable, versatile, and the zipper makes them flattering since people look at that and not your thighs.

Prepare to see me in leggings pretty much everyday, fellow Edgewoodies.








Kova&T Monks Dress


Justification #1: Since this dress is just a little too short on it's own, my new favorite idea is making leggings into biker shorts! It makes not wearing pants a little less risque. (Probably not with a pair from Atticus though...they're way too good to destroy!)

The Justification: This One's for the Boys



My pick for the taken guy

Justification #1: Comes in four colors...you're guaranteed to look good in at least one.

Plus, your girlfriend will love you even more when she's the one wearing it!











#2: Or, for the price of one meal together, you can buy her one of her own.

I'm completely serious about this Thermal post...this is my not so subtle hint that I would like one of my own.








My pick for the single guy

Standard button down with a modern twist. Plus, it's on sale!

















Justification #1: Serious epaulettes to impress the new girl's parents















Justification #2: Fun epaulettes that show your impeccable style to another new girl when the parents don't approve.

The Justification: Relwen Bivouac Bag

Justification #1: This is the Bivouac Bag. It's extremely durable and meets most airline standards for a carry-on.


















Justification #2: The Bivouac can fit a ridiculous amount of things that I personally own.

Such as:
Three pairs of ACNE jeans, the Current/Elliott Super Loved Boyfriend Jean, multiple Kai products, the Stewart+Brown Merrow Tank, a Drawstring Hem Dress by Kerrigan, two pairs of earrings and a necklace by Giles&Brother, a Christopher Deane Customizable Tote, a Kova&T Amsterdam tee and leggings, the Charlotte Ronson Embroidered Jersey Tunic, a Love Joedy Turtleneck by Aude, the Current/ Elliott Snap Jacket, an LNA Boy Tank, the Charlotte Ronson Beach Tie Dress, a Kerrigan Waist Tie Wrapper and Bandeau Tank, a Relwen Peached Henley, an Aude oversized scarf, LNA zipper leggings in two colors, a Relwen Ultralight Jacket, LNA Scoop Neck Tees in black and white, a T by Alexander Wang Boatneck Dress, and Malin+Goetz shower gel and detox face mask.

And a men's Relwen Thermal Crew in Heather Grey because I'm about to buy one.

And a pair of ACNE Heps in white and a Classic Pocket T by T by Alexander Wang...I take them from my sister's closet so much, they're practically mine.

Not to mention it can fit a small person, if you're interested. However, I think this may be frowned upon by the airlines.

The Justification: Relwen Surf Short

Justification #1: Girls will love the flannel feel




















Justification #2: Doubles as a "surf short" for 2AM swims in the lake
