Packing List! 10 Fashion Essentials For Thanksgiving Travel

Say it ain’t so… Can you believe that 2016 is almost over?! I think we can all agree that this year absolutely flew! The holidays are here – and you can literally smell it in the air (apple cider with 1 shot of whiskey please). While I would love to just wrap myself in red plaid, tinsel and turn on the holiday jams it’s not quite that holiday yet. Turkey time is upon us and what we also know as the busiest traveling day of the year. Whether you’re road tripping, flying home to the rents or just laying low and thinking of tackling the parade (you are cray!) you certainly need the essentials. I can tell you from experience there is nothing worse than packing a bag full of items, to then get to your destination and feel like you have nothing to wear.

5 Brands to Consign Now!

It’s the end of summer and I am officially cleaning out my closet. (See some tips here on the best way to approach this daunting task). I'm ready to make some cash and I have a few piles going on. I have the “friends pile”, “trash it pile” and the “Michael's pile”. I always contemplate the value of items first. My mother always told me, “If you buy something good, it will last a lifetime.” Over the years I have hoarded items that I think are truly gems to the fashion world. Much to my surprise, I have tried to consign them, only to be told that some brands just don't hold their value as well as others.
