Everything I Read in August 2018

August was a rough month for me. On a personal level, it was fantastic! I spent a lot of time with friends, family & didn't spend a single weekend at home in New York. All this travel provided me with plenty of time to read. Who doesn't want to spend their summer in a beach chair with a book? I was blessed enough to have time to read six books last month. Unfortunately, I read two books that gave me…

The Rules Do Not Always Apply

Most women will tell you that fashion rules are outdated. You don't have to match your leathers, your metals, and WHO CARES if you pair navy with black? Despite this, many of us are reluctant to break the #1 rule of fashion "no white after Labor Day." Well ladies, rules are meant to be broken! Especially this one. Now I am NOT endorsing your ripped white skinnies, wedges and a floral cold-shoulder top for Fall! That would be insane, and…

11 Things You Didn’t Know About Me

As of this month I have been blogging for seven years! Even though I have made it my goal to stay completely transparent on the internet, I still have a lot I haven't shared with the world. Unless you follow me on twitter, in which case this may not be news. Since Mack in Style was started in 2011, i'm going to share 11 facts I haven't mentioned on my blog before! I have spent my free time this summer…

Shopbop Summer Sale + Seven Years

As of last week, I have been blogging for seven years. To be honest, I've felt a bit uninspired this summer. I started my blog to tell my peers how they should dress themselves. But I fell in love with blogging about relationships. The last time I was truly passionate about this blog was when I was dragging dudes who did me wrong. I'm just being honest! Writing about books has definitely sparked a new passion within me. I'm obsessed with…

Everything I Read in July 2018

As you all know, i’m a huge reader. Recently, I've spent my lunch breaks sitting in Gantry State Park with a book and a kombucha. This has been helpful for both my summer tan and my sanity.  Anyways, since my last review one month ago, I’ve finished five books + started a new one. As always, I ask that if you do decide to purchase on of these books, that you please do so through the links I provide. I’ll receive…

Queen of Boycotts

If you truly know me, you know that I boycott a lot of brands. I’m stubborn, and once I cut something off I stick to it. I boycott companies for a number of reasons, but usually it's because of my political views or human rights violations. After reading this I don't expect you to change your purchasing habits, but I hope that you become more aware of them. How you spend your money is your way of validating a brand.…

Jailey and Me

Its been over a week since I've posted to this blog. My loyal followers know how rare that is, though its become more common. When I stumped I tend to crowd source suggestions-- my friend Jordan recommended I talk about all the recent events in pop-culture. Well summer 2018 has been the season of (iced) tea and I'm up for a glass if you are. Accelerated Engagement City: First we had Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson. Now we have Hailey…

To Read or Not to Read

As you all know, i’m a huge reader. During the work week I religiously read for an hour in the middle of the day with a cup of tea. When I first started reading regularly, I was a relatively lax reviewer. I loved the light and fluffy. However, as my reading list has expanded, I have become a much harsher critic of the books I read-- which I imagine is just a natural evolution.   Anyways, since my last review…
