Tori’s Tuesday Playlist — 004

Happy Tuesday. Yes, it's that time of the week for your ears to be blessed with tasty tunes. This week I'm introducing some of the best women making electronic music. These ladies have had an incredible impact on the scene; they play at the most well known festivals in the world, run their own radio shows, and always curate new mixes. There's so much opportunity for female growth in this specific genre, let's celebrate these ladies who are leading the way for…

Too Late Now to Say Sorry

  The following excerpt is an ~anonymous~ contribution from a Mack in Style reader in her early twenties living in NYC. All opinions in this article are not my own...but you won't belieb it.  In my 3-year relationship, there have been times when I wondered if I was missing out on “enjoying my 20’s”. If I should, like most of my girlfriends, remain single for a while and see what’s really out there while I find myself. I never saw…

Boston Fashion: Max & Riley

Susan and Hope Roussilhes of Max & Riley show that the mother-daughter bond is the glue that holds the Newbury Street boutique together. These friendly ladies know and love everything fashion, and have the experience to back it up. Susan worked in high-end retail in the early 80’s. Her daughter, Hope, was involved with Teen Vogue Fashion University and interned for Erika Bearman, better known as Oscar PR Girl, the SVP of Global Communications at Oscar de la Renta. The mother-daughter team became NYFW…

Look Profreshional

  One of my old roommates, AShelly. texted me a week ago with blog post suggestions. (Note: I love this, please do this.) Her first request was how to look like you fit in at Equinox without splurging on Lululemon (coming soon.) The next was how to dress professional while simultaneously looking young and trendy (coming now.) Work clothes are traditionally boring, black, navy, and various shades of gray. This doesn’t have to be the case. Fortunately for us, prep…

Tori’s Tuesday Playlist — 003

I was born in 1993. Like every 90s child, pop music runs through my veins. I have experienced the best and worst of the pop machine (can't have 2000 Britney without 2007 Britney, right?) and will have an appetite for sugary pop goodness till I die. You may have noticed that I am on an endless quest to find kick ass females who make incredible tunes. Last playlist I brought to your ears scratched the pop surface with tunes from…

Tori’s Tuesday Playlist — 002

I think we've all had an experience where we are forced to meet people that we aren’t sure we’re going to like. It’s a bit like going to a party at that friend-of-a-friend-of-a-friend's place and you’re forced to play nice. So you have a couple of drinks and by the end of the night you and your new friends are inseparable because it feels like you've always been a part of each other’s lives. The powers that be decided that…

LIT Spring

Expect 2016 to be the Spring of Comeback Fashion. Though that tattoo-choker necklace should remain retired, there are tons of cool choker looks that are way more sophisticated. Oh, and that denim skirt we've been predicting-- it's very much here.  This past week, we had our first spring photoshoot of this year with LIT Boutique. Here are some of our favorite daydream to nightmare outfits. The off-the-shoulder top should definitely be on your spring essential list. It can be dressed up or dressed…

Sunday Scaries Solved

I have a confession to make: I think I’m washed up. I cannot have three drinks without an inescapable bone-shivering, life-altering hangover anymore. No amount of Vita Coco or Pedialite can save me. The feared ‘morning after’ is like dying a slow, horrible death without the sweet release of leaving this earth, actually. But I’m young, and I will still voluntarily sacrifice the complete waste of a Sunday if it means a fun night out. One thing I will not…
