Melrose

I went to Melrose for the first time today. I was expecting more than a string of alternating hipster and Jersey Shore-esque shops. Ah well.

I did, though, find some quality (affordable) fashion:

How legit is that last pattern? Completely.

All-around, Shake Me Down

Hi! My name is Nadya and I'm a college student trying to get all her double-major homework done while still looking London-worthy. As this is my first fashion post I thought it'd be good to lay out the groundwork, literally from the bottom up. These are the things that every girl should have hanging (or sitting) in her closet:

1 Trench

1 Little Black Dress

1 Stripey Sweater

2 Pairs of Black Shoes (1 pair ballet flats, 1 pair heels)

1 Basic Blue Skirt

1 Flouncy Floral Dress

1 Pair of Dependable All-American Jeans

1 Antique Gold Necklace

1 Pair of Audrey Sunglasses.

This setup will get you classily through any "nothing-to-wear" day you come across. Cross my heart, hope to die, promise.
