I have been in the process of doing a total closet turn over! I see beautiful clothes all day, every day at my little Georgetown, DC Buffalo Exchange so I am CONSTANTLY trading old clothes for new ones. My plan was to start selling off all of my sweaters and NOT buy anymore. I did not stick to that plan. However, I have mixed in a lot of great pieces for Spring and Summer in all of my many Buffalo Exchange hauls!
Blogs, blogs and more blogs we can’t get enough. Of course we all have our favorites, from the big names, to the fun quirky ones, the all-encompassing no-hassle websites that have absolutely every bit of fashion knowledge you could hope for or the extremely fine-tuned niche markets.
This week we sat down with our newest Associate Manager at the Williamsburg store, Sam Corey, and asked him a few of his favorite blogs to sit down and enjoy each day.
A daily dose of fashion discoveries and insprations, contributed by a stylist and a designer who both see the world through rose-colored glasses” A great Fashion/diy blog that posts current trends and fashion trends in an easy to read format.
Sam : I enjoy their opinions they give about collections they post, and I love that they always find the best collections.
Well-Dressed Commentary from Hollywood’s Little Sweetheart A cute-humor blog where ‘Suri’ dishes on celebrity gossip, fashion, etc.
Sam : I love celebrity baby fashion and drama!
A conversational Fashion Diary, is Kristin Reiter and Valerie Killeen’s online amalgamation of collective fashion obsessions. Spotlighting iconic style muses, musical prodigies, DIY catastrophes / strokes-of-genius, and rarefied hot sh*t that the girls adore, BLEACHBLACK.com is a forum for evolving their Bohemian Rocker aesthetic.
Sam : I appreciate that they are consistent with their aesthetic, consise with their opinions, and they just have an altogether rad sense of style.

This small beach town is always blessed with a bit of sunshine and the weather rarely drops past 50 degrees. In our town old is still new and casual/comfort comes first. Blue jeans are a must and skinnies rule the scene. Topping our denim with basic tees, frilly lace, and grunge rock tees are a few ways we play up our go-to pair of jeans. For a bolder statement a pair of printed pants or flowy velvet pants can be dressed up with a chunky heel and some attitude. Going into spring we will be looking forward to rising temperatures to broaden our choices and include all the great upcoming trends into our wardrobes.

We found this fashionable couple shopping around our Eugene location with amazing matching backpacks! Her backpack is handmade from Stock & Barrel Co and his was a great vintage find. These two are representing classic Northwest style with their accessories and staying layered while we adjust to the weather changes. You can also check out their interests on their blog lylaandblu.com.

We have had such a cold winter this year in Tucson that I’ve begun to wonder when the orange blossoms will make their debut. It’s almost always smack in the middle of March when I first get a whiff of that intoxicating scent. Along with it come memories of my childhood, where my elementary school had them in droves in the courtyard.

Since St. Patty’s day is right around the corner; we decided to pile together some our favorite green item to ensure that you don’t get pinched! Go big or go home! Decorate yourself with the color of the Irish or go settle with a bag or hat! Either way, have fun!
