I LOVE clothes and feel like I have really honed in on my personal style and the brands I love over the past few years (as my income has progressed to allow for it). I unashamedly use Pinterest boards to organize my inspiration like it's 2012 and also have a Google Sheets system where I track everything in my closet and strategize my upcoming purchases and budget.

For affordable trendy pieces, I've found myself turning to Mango and & Other Stories recently. I'll also let myself buy full price on some mid-level brands like English Factory, Cleobella, En Saison, Reformation, Faithfull, and Emerson Fry, especially if it's something I really love.

For core wardrobe pieces (or a REALLY special event outfit) I try to shop sales and The Real Real on luxury brands like Ulla Johnson, Doen, Sea New York, Cara Cara, The Great, Apiece Apart, Staud, Agua Bendita, Zimmermann. Jeans: pretty much only Agolde and Mother. Shoes: Loeffler Randall and See by Chloe. Some smaller brands I've found recently that I love are Mille, Birds of Paradis, and Ciao Lucia.

Don't judge me.... lol
