Sippin’ on Mint Julep

If you're like me, you've probably been shopping at Forever 21 and H&M since high school. In college you probably added a few more upper-fast fashion retailers to your collection, like Zara and Mango. After awhile, you begin to crave something new. There are only so many times you're OK with someone wearing an identical outfit at the party you're at. I recently discovered The Mint Julep Boutique online, and I love it. For those of you who like shopping…

Patook: The Future of Friendship Apps?

In my experience with relationship and friendship apps, even if you are only looking for friendship, you will get hit on, unsolicited pics will be sent with no shame, and people will get hostile when they are rejected/ignored (@byefelipe). Making friends is hard enough as it is! It’s not surprising to me that people are looking for a more genuine platform. Patook—an app used for making strictly platonic friends—reached out to the Mack In Style team to test it out…

Style Obituaries: What’s Out Now

If you’re anything like me, you’re pretty quick to follow trends. Sure, you may wait a season for the runway look to be available in Zara, but you’re generally an early adapter. It’s important to have a strong sense of personal style, but you can’t help what comes in and out of stores. For this reason, it’s up to you to decide what trends are worth investing in and ignoring. Personally, i’m reluctant to give into a trend that involves…

Our Summer Crush

Last summer we were into chokers and bell bottom jeans, but this year it's all about statement earrings and bell sleeves! If you're under 5'5 like I am, there is no doubt you're excited about this.  Don't worry about it going out of style anytime soon, we see this trend extending into the fall and winter. This week, we shot some of Crush Boutique's hottest new pieces for late summer, and we are LOVING what they're serving. With a little touch…

A Weekend in Munich

Having been blessed with the opportunity to work remotely through my current job, I spent the month of June in the charming city that is Munich, Germany. With nights, weekends, and beautiful summer weather at my disposal, I spent long hours wandering about the Bavarian capital in an attempt to hunt down the city’s most prized landmarks while simultaneously searching for the best place to grab a beer. (more…)

Tell Me I’m Your National Anthem

The fourth of July is next week, and you've probably been scrambling trying to find the perfect patriotic bathing suit to rep while crushing spiked seltzers on your friend's boat (hint: just go to target.) If the ocean (or lake... i guess?) isn't on your priority list, you'll probably be having a city BBQ with your besties. In that case, you're probably seeking something cotton, red or white or blue, and stylish. Gotchu. This week I shot with my new…

One-Piece Wonders: #BBBSwim

By now you've surely seen her textured, figure- flattering leggings on multitudes of women in Boston's hottest gyms and studios. You might own a few pairs yourself and you may have even taken the class that started it all, Booty by Brabants. Kelly Brabants, fitness instructor and fashion designer, is the one we can thank for improving the workout-wear and derrières of Boston babes everywhere. She's created a cult-like following, drawing inspiration from the Brazilian booty in both her workout class…

Culottes & Cult Gaia

For about a year I have been obsessing over the Cult Gaia arc bag. I always assumed, that like most of the bags my favorite fashion bloggers wear, it's probably $500+. It served as my inspiration (it's a literal piece of art, they sell it on MoMa's website), but didn't seem like a viable purchase. Then one day, in a weak moment of lust, I actually clicked on the link and realized the bag is just $140. $10 under budget for Ben…

We love to Kick It!

A lot of us are probably on similar routines. During the day, we go to our slightly-above-entry-level day jobs. We might make it to the gym later, eat something healthy after, and maybe go to bed early-- but probably not. Because doing the same thing everyday is boring, and you're craving more. Your parents warned you that "play time" would be over after college. But you probably didn't realize the community aspect would disappear. You still hang with close friends for guiltless drinks and food.…

A Reason to Visit Portugal

The first time I visited Portugal was in November of 2015. I was coming off the bender of a lifetime in Barcelona, I was burnt out from Amsterdam, I was broke from London and I was in a prolonged food coma from Paris. Lisbon served as our last destination on an amazing, but lengthy, backpackers trip. I wasn’t aware of how special Lisbon was until we landed. I just knew that it was cheapest to fly home to Boston from Portugal,…
