A Mixtape For Your Ex: Part 1

First and foremost, a big, huge THANK YOU to everyone who contributed to this week's #torituesday playlist. Last week we asked you a question: What song reminds you of your ex? I received an overwhelming number of submissions in response to this week's theme that I have decided to break it into three mixtapes. When thinking about relationships we transport ourselves to another time and place. It's easy to bring back memories from the beginning of it all; from the first time you…

Goodbye for Twenty-Five

For 10 years I remained fairly faithful in my relationship with Pink by Victorias Secret. Although I stopped lusting over their bedazzled tracksuits a long time ago, I've been a loyal buyer of their underwear for a decade. At first, we seemed like the perfect match. Their 5 for $25 table always fit into my budget. My earliest pairs have held up through it all. They've seen countless shitty apartment appliances and various admirers. However, over the past few years their…

Can MK Make a Comeback?

In fashion one day you’re in, and the next day you’re out. Nobody knows this better than former Project Runway judge Michael Kors. It’s no secret that Kors has definitely peaked, but can he make a comeback? It’s 2011 and freshman year of college. At the time, having a Michael Kors handbag was critical. Fast forward to 2016 and literally nobody cares anymore. In more offish terms, their stock peaked in early 2014, when all the late bloomers spent their…

Matcha Madness

Health and wellness trends move almost as quickly as fashion trends these days, and it can be hard to keep track of each new lifestyle fad that is being introduced day in and day out. Much to all of our surprise,  parallel to the "athleisure" trend of the moment are people who are actually working on their health and fitness and not just dressing like it. If 2015 was the year of green juices, then 2016 is certainly the year of…

Tori’s Tuesday Playlist — 008

I have a hunch that our team here at Mack In Style and a lot of our readers would not consider themselves a part of #fitfam and we are all definitely pretending to care about Olympic sports we only hear about once every four years. Yes, Katie Ledecky and Simone Biles are leaving everybody in the dust this summer but today I'd like to focus on a truly inspirational team, the Filipino divers (stop what you are doing and watch this commentary). In…

Our Fall Handbag Roundup

You still have a little summer left to spare, but if you're like us you're probably starting to think about your fall wardrobe. My first selection is always my bag. After all, this is the one part of my outfit that will remain relatively stagnant for months at time. The Loeffler Randall bag in our heading is stunning. A red bag may not be sensible for everyone, but my wardrobe is typically neutral with pops of red and pink (not usually together.) Unlike most…

Tori’s Tuesday Playlist — 007

When I was presented with this week's specific theme I'll be honest, I was genuinely concerned I wouldn't meet my deadline. I thought to myself, "I haven't been in a serious relationship in years, nobody I've dated has ever sang me a song before, what could I possibly know about singing love songs to a significant other?" I'm sure some of you have talented boyfriends and girlfriends who can play instruments or sing well, but we can't all be that…

Mixing Summer & Fall: Mint Julep

You know August is near and summer is coming to an end when you start seeing fall clothes and shoes in almost every store. Whether you’re in denial or not, it’s never too early to start shopping for that fall wardrobe! When styling our most recent shoot with Harvard Square boutique Mint Julep, we had one goal in mind--showcasing outfits that can be bought now and worn later. After trying on leather jackets, sweater dresses, and knee high socks, I…

Wanna Hangout Sometime?

Like many of you, I made the decision to move to a new city post-graduation. In a toss-up between Los Angeles and New York, I chose crowded subway stations over endless miles of car traffic.  Any hesitations I had about moving to a new city were overshadowed by my overwhelming desire to flee Boston. I will forever be grateful for my naive spirit, because moving to New York wasn't as seamless as I'd expected.  To my surprise, one of the…

How To Be A Fashionista

  It's said that behind every well-dressed man is a woman of taste. Well, behind every woman-of-taste's wardrobe is a plethora of shopping and styling tips, tricks and secrets that keep them looking polished. The most stylish women that we look up to in our lives aren't superhuman- they're just a little more prepared and organized than us. They understand what's important in fashion and know where it's wise to save/spend their money. We've gathered some fashion secrets from the most fashionable ladies we know…
