We Spotted: Sears + FCUK. No Oxymoron.


My memories of Sears revolve around my Grandfather and home appliances. In his late years he loved shopping at Sears for short sleeved shirts with 2 pockets. Yes, not just one pocket, but they HAD to have two. Um, yeah. Since I adored my Grandad, I obliged him, especially since there was nothing in Sears that interested me. The juniors and women's clothing selection at the time was far less than attractive: tons of weird prints, funky material, and just "no". "Hell no".

Fast forward 14 years, and I meet a classmate who works for Sears. I'm skeptical, because he dresses too well for them, but he swears his entire outfit is from there. Hmmm. I tell him my preconceived opinion about his employer, and he assures me Sears has changed. Well, I finally made my way there today and fell head over heels for French Connection UK's exclusive affordable line, UK Style. I also loved several pieces from Sears' in house brand, Apostrophe. If you've ever watched June Ambrose's Youtube vids where she runs through stores styling fabulous outfits along the way while throwing out the most hilarious comments, I kinda had one of those moments. Here's my end results...

The kind of Mother I'd like to be...


The infamous June Ambrose & daughter!

Happy Mother's Day to one of my favorite fashion idols! I hope to reach the level of style and understanding of fashion that you have effortlessly mastered!

Putting the "I" in Fashion!

My fashion journey began at a time when my main writing utensils were a fat blue pencil and Crayola's. Coming from the genes of two very creative and fashionable parents, my apple never fell from the tree! I love fashion. Simple as that. If anything, it's all I know for sure and what I know best. My sense of style reflects my eclectic personality and background. I rely on one of a kind pieces and quirky touches to stand out from the crowd, or classic styling to "blend in with & compliment" my surroundings.

For the most part, people have no qualms telling you what they love about fashion. I find it really easy to do myself. I mean how can you not love beautiful clothes and the freedom to express yourself while wearing them? However, I feel that if you truly love something you can acknowledge it's faults equally, which brings me to why I'm contributing to this blog... I believe fashion still has a long way to go in displaying equal and accurate representation of it's true community, be it ethnicity or size. Fashion is influenced by the world over from people of different shapes sizes colors and backgrounds and it's my intention to capture their contributions and bring them to all of you...
