So, apparently, I have a warm weather uniform: dress, cardigan, sandals. Boring? maybe…but it fits my everyday lifestyle perfectly… James Perse Maxi Dress – in navy Organic by John Patrick Cardigan Matt Bernson Love Sandal – silver crackle suede Beth Springer Ecovertible bag

I love the concept of Etsy, more than I love Etsy itself, sadly. It’s so overwhelming to browse through designers and products, I usually just quit. I recently posted about Supermarket HQ, which has many of the same designers as Etsy, but way fewer, so it’s easier to navigate. But anyway,...

I just discovered Pixie Market a week or so ago, and can’t stop visiting. They stock designers I’ve never heard of, like Stylein, Maud shoes (LOVE!!), Hope handbags, and Rekiem, the designer of this jacket: The cutest part of the jacket, actually, is the back: I LOVE the detail…this...

First, to help you out a bit, Cydwoq is pronounced SIDEWALK. Cute, huh? I love the name, but I love the shoes more. I don’t own a pair, yet, but when I’m finally ready to order, I’m going to Ped. From what I’ve found, Ped has the best online selection of Cydwoq shoes – from...

I’ve been following Casch Copenhagen for a couple of years, since I purchased a lovely wool jacket from Anthropologie. I still wear that jacket in cooler weather, but now I can get my Casch fill in the Spring/Summer months as well! I ordered these two sweaters last week from Active Endeavors (using...

Just for the name alone I would shop there…but as an added bonus, Standard Deviation carries some of my favorite NYC-based designers like Knox, Sunshine & Shadow, and Eventide. This super-sexy, but totally wearable blouse by Eventide is my absolute FAVORITE piece on the site: < More about...

Following my mission to be more environmentally thoughtful, I am also making an effort to get my money to serve a dual purpose. For example…I bought my mom and sister each the Feed 100 bag for Mother’s Day. I purchased the bags at my local Whole Foods for $30, and each bag purchased provides...

These days with denim, you’re either paying $200+ or under $50…there aren’t a lot of mid-end options out there anymore. Enter Blank, a new AFFORDABLE (read: under $100) denim brand available at Tobi (save 10% with code 10GRECHEN). My favorite styles are the high-waisted wide legs: and...

I’m just as much a sucker for cardigans as I am for dresses when the weather warms up. I CANNOT go without a cardigan or something long-sleeved during warmer weather because I FREEZE anytime I’m in air conditioning. Pardon my “yelling,” but it is so frustrating. So, my solution...

I cannot possibly be any more addicted to a designer than I am to James Perse. Seriously. Search for James Perse here on Grechen’s Closet – you’ll see what I mean! I own 17 James Perse pieces at the moment, and narrowly avoided buying another one I didn’t need today… I...

So, I’ve not had much luck with vegan handbags…admittedly, I’ve not seen many in real-life, other than Stella McCartney and random non-leather bags at Target, but generally, they leave something to be desired: I cannot FATHOM spending $1000+ on any of Stella’s bags, and I don’t...

How cute are these?? I love the studded pink slippers, and they’re only $48. Granted, they’re REAL capezio ballet slippers, so they’re not exactly meant to be worn outside, but if you were careful, you could do it! Available at Bona Drag.
