Spending the summer in Michigan takes me away from the wondrous European-esque cobblestone streets of Soho and the young designer boutiques of East Village and Nolita into a suburban concrete jungle where malls are the shopping mecca. Currently being in between seasons the rainy Michigan days have lead me to walk around the variety of malls that metro- Detroit has to offer. Looking aside from the basic Forever 21's, and H&M's I decided to check out some of the "American" stores that usual bore me. Instead I was very surprised to what I found. J.Crew to me has always been a store for style-less yuppies... But to my surprise I was very inspired by the stores classic chic-ness mixed with all the seasons runway trends. They don't explode runway knockoffs all over the store and instead just add peaks of neons, embellishments, and funky jewellery to incorporate this seasons trends to their picnic table prints and pastels to stay true to their class.
Moving on.... I really have few words to say about the Gap. Sometimes I find things on the clearance racks but definitely not a store that thrills me. UNTIL they started collaborating with top young hot designers. The most recent.... Alexander Wang!!! One of my personal favorite designers of the moment. This collection will be released tomorrow in select stores and will feature a variety of khaki merchandise for under $100! Could they have picked another color?? I wish! But still, cannot wait to see this!
In June, Target will also be collaborating with Anna Sui- one of there best featured designers yet!!
Definitely something for suburbanites to be excited about!
