mango mid season sale

guys we’re right smack in the middle of fashion week. london fw came and went and i give the street stylings a “meh” overall. it’s currently milan fashion week. my absolute favorite (usually) for street style. thanks largely to gilda. anyway…you can be certain i will be reporting on that.

well what with all the street style fashions i’ve been looking at i am basically a stylist now.

so i’ve picked some pieces from mango’s mid season sale that reflect what i have seen so far and/or great shit in general.


this faux leather biker jacket.


these straight leg cropped jeans are 19 bucks.

this goes with everything from skirts to jeans ribbed cotton sweater.


i’d pair this two tone flowy blouse with bike shorts and a pair of pumps. but equally great with any sort of bottom.


this oversize denim jacket is just great.

i just really want to wear this floral print kimono over a t shirt with denim shorts.


this double breasted blazer is so versatile and so right now.

if it’s still summer where you are for a while you can wear this wrap contrast dress right now with a pair of sneakers or flats and once it gets a bit cooler you can throw on some mid calf cowboy boots and a denim jacket.


a fine knit sweater is so important for that transitional weather period and at 25 bucks you can get one in every color.


i love this oversize check shirt. it’s slightly cropped so- great with anything high waisted.



love the flattering boat neck on this ribbed t shirt. great for layering later. and 19 bucks. available in blue, white and black.


this denim blouse has a subtle western/prairie vibe. which is very of the moment but it doesn’t scream sissy from urban cowboy or laura ingalls wilder.


cute little zebra print blouse.

and finally…

stock up on some basic tees. black, white or stripes. but really all 3 and possibly at least 2 of each. because they’re 9.99.

the emmys

first off i didn’t even know the emmys were on until it was halfway over. #old

second- who the fuck are these people?!

ok, in fairness…i still probably knew 75% more than the average human. but for me, looking through the photos this morning i was all who dis? who dat? mike, bring me my readers.

anyway…here are my favorites- (in no particular order)



tracee ellis ross looking extra. she can do no wrong in my book. she can wear anything. and often does. no one works a fashion moment like tracee.

ofwarren looking like a snack. she looks a little like madonna when madonna looked like madonna.

kristin bell looked like a beautiful shmoo.


tiffaney haddish is literally wearing the gymboree parachute but she looks SO PRETTY IN IT!

yes jenifer lewis. YESSSSS. (p.s. you should be following her on instagram)


i don’t know if i love the dress, but i love love the color on her and the fit is excellent and very flattering. her hair is what i imagine every red blooded woman wishes they had. and i love sandra oh in general.

jessica biel could wear anything and look like someone you would never want to stand next to but this dress is next level. i bet she smells amazing. also i’m pretty sure i say “i’ll bet she smells amazing” under my breath every time i see her.


i had to do a double take when i saw her. i didn’t know who it was at first. i’m so used to natasha lyonne looking like a walking hangover. i mean, i don’t love this dress but i don’t hate it either and it fits her like a glove. she cleans up well.

i don’t usually love the big dresses. but i did love this one. it’s literally on the only person who could’ve worn it. that said, so many ways to do this dress a disservice and not one mistake was made. her makeup. her hair. her jewelry. HER FACE. 100.

pretty color on a pretty girl. her hair and makeup were perfect.

i do not love the dress nor do i like it and the shoe situation is odd at best. but carol kane is 66 years old and has the hair of a 7 year old. can someone please do a beauty routine article on her? also she’s adorable.

i am here for allison janney and her magenta sequins. i am not so here for the matching shoes and bag. but ok.

poppy delevingne is another one that could put on anything and look amazing and perfect. but this look, for me, is particularly beautiful. the color (especially on her), the earrings, the pony tail with all the bows. it’s a dream. you can see the hair and back of this dress here.

mandy moore has never looked better.

best dressed guy:

that guy from stranger things that your mom wants to fuck.

this guy CLEARLY has big dick energy. look at that stache! also he’s wearing a fucking gardenia for fuck’s sake. intoxicating. i’d fuck him on principal.

and now for the not-so-great:

i don’t even get the context of this dress. is it a jacket? is it a robe? i’ll tell you what it is…it’s terrible. i can’t imagine it looking good on one single person.


that’s a lot of yellow. and wrinkly too. i don’t think a blonde has pulled off yellow since michelle williams’s 2006 oscar dress which was borderline orange anyway.


i can’t find one positive here. the hair??? i can barely get past the hair! this dress is making a mockery of dresses. is the pearl necklace attached? can i beat her stylist over the head with it?

i actually really deeply love this simone rocha dress. but this just doesn’t say awards show red carpet. to me it’s more movie premiere red carpet. also if kristin stewart wore it. maya looks like she will cut you.

anyone i missed? there were plenty of gorgeous ladies and guys. these were just my favorites. angela bassett looked amazing but i couldn’t find a decent picture of her.

mango killing it with their coats

happy saturday!

there’s just too much going on fashion-wise right now to save it for the weekdays. and like your mom does when she saves magazine clippings for you of things she thinks you will like, these are my internet clippings to you.

and in the spirit of everyone’s mom- oprah…YOU need a coat! and YOU need a coat!! and YOU NEED A COOAAAT!!!

coat / shoes

i spotted one of my fashion faves, pernille teisbaek wearing this mango coat and subsequently found a bunch of cute coats.

lapels wool coat (comes in 3 colors)

checked structured coat

which is your favorite? it’s a toss up for me on that little white shearling coat and the second to last one.
