Fashion Forward
Patagonia
For years Patagonia has been keeping it simple when it comes to life. Founded by experienced climber Yvon Chouinard in the early 1970’s, this Ventura, California based company humbly began as an outdoors store that specialized in climbing equipment and tools, not apparel. Yvon Chouinard is a rock climber, an active environmentalist and an outdoor […]
Call it a Comeback {Palladium Boots}
Hopping on the retro revival bandwagon is Palladium boots, which has made a HUGE comeback in recent years from its Sleeping Beauty-esque slumber since the early 90’s. This company has been recognized through the ages as an influential footwear brand and is known as much for their timeless boot’s design as well as its hardwearing […]
Real Men Wear Neon
News Flash: Men are no longer afraid to experiment with bright colors in their wardrobes! For years guys have shied away from embracing their “stylish” side and stuck to the typical drab, basic neutrals. Granted, there is nothing wrong with basic blacks, navys, whites, and tans, BUT a splash of color never hurt a man’s […]
Who’s Got Your Back-pack?
I realize that not everyone is excited in July at the thought of going back to school, BUT with summer in full swing a simple, yet chic backpack is an ideal accessory to have handy. I’m not inferring that you have to use your backpack to store your books. But if you happen to be […]
Trip into Fall: Dresses {Jack by BB Dakota}
It’s been a hot… hot… hot… summer so far, and it’s hard to believe that it’s JUST July! All week I’ve been adding new Jack by BB Dakota dresses to the gliks.com, and even though the weather leads us to believe that the humid SUMMER heat will NEVER leave, the cuts, color combinations, and silhouettes […]
I’m with the Band-eau
FINALLY, we have an excuse to let our bras show! What makes this possible? Bandeaus, and they are ESSENTIAL to any fashionista’s wardrobe. They’re like a special gift from the fashion gods given to women all over in a variety of colors, fabrics, and patterns. Whether you prefer lace, crochet, sequins, and florals, animal print, […]
Have a Fashionable 4th!
Time to bust out the snakes and sparklers! Word of the week is independence, and we’re serving you up some 4th of July “realness”. Summer holidays are my favorite! I get to have all of my favorite things wrapped up together in a neat little red, white, and blue package. That’s right people! What’s better […]
On the Road Again
My favorite thing about summer just happens to be good “old-fashioned” road trips with my friends. Whether our journeys last one, two, or several days, the whole point of piling yourself into a car with a few of your favorite people is essentially to have a grand adventure, take lots of pictures, listen to great […]
A Colorful Collection of Jeggings {Flying Monkey}
Bold, Brilliant, and vividly Bright colors are definitely in this season, and leading this trend are denim skinny jeans and jeggings! I had (keyword being had) been debating a pair for some time. With so many colors, styles, and fits to choose from, I just didn’t know which was the right one for me. That […]
Americana Dreams
Don’t let the current economic situation get you down. Brush the grey and gloominess off your chic shoulders and embrace a fashion trend that’s sending out positive vibes. “Vintage” Americana reminds us all of more prosperous eras of the past. Essentially, Americana represents taking pride in our American heritage, and we are seeing this trend […]
A Timeless Pair of Kicks {Keds}
I find it funny that an average everyday object can spark an unexpected flashback to a childhood memory. Some flashbacks can be sparked from a smell, how something tastes, or from an item/object. In my case it was a pair of classic Champion canvas sneakers from Keds. I remember being a little girl and FINALLY […]
Punky Pop {Skulls}
Way back when, anything skull related was worn by and associated with disobedient teens and rebellious youth from the other side of the tracks. At least that’s what I remember seeing in cheesy old 80’s movies like The Lost Boys, which I’m actually particularly fond of. But there were tons of other movies as well […]
