today i thought i’d share one of my recent posts on refinery29 my stylist. i went to one of my favorite shops, pretty penny vintage in oakland, to check out the selection and share a few of my vintage shopping tips. no, it’s not revolutionary by any means, but even a seasoned vintage shopping veteran like myself (wink!) can appreciate a few tips and hints as a little refresher before i venture out on a vintage expedition. there are so many factors to take into account that what should be a fun adventure can sometimes turn into a stressful task. so hopefully you’ll enjoy some of my tips right here!

you can see all of my refinery29 posts here.

today i am very pleased to announce the launch of my stylist! i’ve teamed up with refinery29 + t.j. maxx for this brand new site, a one-stop destination for you to connect with the refinery29 editors and a team of bloggers on everything style and fashion-related. i’ll be sharing three posts per month on a range of topics, answering styling questions, and offering up local tips and recommendations, all of which can be found right from my profile. to kick off the launch, you can also swing by my introductory interview to peek at a few of my outfits, and then head on over to my very first article on (you guessed it) the return of the pinafore.
