    JD Bray was spotted at The Top, looking both trendy and chic! JD’s day started with dressing for work at Aldo Shoes, where he’s the Assistant Manager. The store was having a rock ‘n’ roll inspired theme. He wore khakis with a denim shirt, leather boots from Aldo (the Tyra, his favorite), a bomber jacket and statement glasses. His look was simple, but pristine and sophisticated enough to transition into night— the signature of all great outfits. JD likes to describe his personal style as “casual chic.”

    “I like to feel comfortable in my clothes, but comfortable doesn’t always have to mean unfashionable. I mix a lot of skinny jeans with cap toe dress shoes to dress up a look. Now that it’s colder I find any excuse I can to wear a pair of military/combat boots,” he told us. JD describes his taste as being “all over the place.”  He likes to shop at Forever 21 and H&M, but he let us in on a little secret: Sandy’s and Urban Thread are great places to find statement shirts. His look certainly made enough of a statement to grab our attention.

Look(s) of the Day(s)

Howdy!  If you did not know, I have been writing "Look of the Day," posts for INsite Magazine's Blog.  If you did know, then now, you REALLY know.

Who doesn't love a good street-style?

Comfy & Cute

Khambrea Johnkins was spotted while shopping in Forever 21. She looked very stylish, yet not over-done. When choosing her ensemble, her goal was to look cute but not forfeit comfort. Who said you can’t have the best of both worlds?!

A simple, black long-sleeve shirt paired with leggings offers a clean, sleek look, and every girl knows that this outfit would feel as good as a pair of pajamas! Throw on a pair of stylish black sandals and you are prepared to shop till you drop.

Add the vest for some personality, the glasses for trendiness, the bracelet & bag for some sparkle and what you’ve got is one alluring outfit!

Top:  Old Navy

Jean Vest:  Guess

Tights:  Forever 21

Sandals:  Traffic

Glasses:  Urban Outfitters (“This is what made my look!” Khambrea said.)

When Khambrea’s not shopping, she’s studying nursing at the University of Florida, but watch out. She is contemplating a transfer to pursue fashion, and we think she should go for it. Big thanks to her for the inspiration! You can look cute and still be comfortable.

Adorable from Arizona

Laura Dean, originally from Tucson, Az., has lived in Gainesville for the past two years and is currently working for Keith Watson Productions as a wedding design specialist. When she’s not at work, she loves spending time downtown seeing shows at the Hipp and hanging out with friends. Not only does Laura like visiting the Hipp, she also looks pretty hip! She was spotted at The Top in an outfit composed of varying elements that achieved perfection.

Laura stays true to a lot of classic looks and pieces but enjoys mixing things in that are a little out of the box, which gives her outfits that pop of intrigue. She is open-minded when it comes to shopping. “I think everyone has that one item in their wardrobe that they found somewhere they would usually never shop,” she says. She is also a fan of thrift stores and of Joe’s Jeans, “I seriously can’t live without them.” 

Brown Leather boots with purple stitching:  Kenzie

Tights:  Express

Mini-Dress:  Target (under $20!)

Denim Jacket:  “Super ancient, I’ve had it since I was 16.”

Feather Necklace:  Francesca’s

Leather “Rose” Crossover Bag:  Gianni Bini

Laura looks adorable in her mix between classic and eye-catching in leather, denim and feathers.

Miss Priss vs. The Closet

This is how the incident/accident went down:  I hung up some clothes, normal right, well here's the kicker, not only was I hanging clothes on the actual clothes holder/bar thingy, I was hanging clothes on other hangers (my room = clothes upon clothes, upon clothes. Really, it looks like my closet threw up all over my entire apartment), I left the room for some time, and heard a loud sound.  I thought, "hmm, whatever could that be," (imagine shocked face) and then saw my poor, little dog, Benjamin, running to me like something was after him.  Something was after him!  It was the clothes!  The clothes were after him!  This is what my little, sweet baby looks like when the clothes are not after him

Awe, sooo cute, I know (proud Mama)!  

Yes, the giant mess was caused from my extreme state of shopaholism.  Yes, it was all my fault.  Yes, I acted like this must be some freak accident and wondered why this happened to me.  Like any person coping with an addiction would did I do?  I ignored it!  Ha!  Ignored it!  I even did a little "ha, i am ignoring you" dance (it's a good one, you should try it, don't be uptight)!  

However, about a week later came packing-time, and I could no longer ignore the giant pile of clothes on my floor.  So to see what I was actually working with and to complete my task of packing, I separated the big pile into smaller piles.  Ultimately my closet was fixed, thank you handy man!  And I hung up only the things that I had hanging on the actual doors of my main closet and the items I had piled on the doors of my non-broken winter wear/shoe closet.  I thought there were only a few things, but I guess I am pretty good at space utilization (putting that on my resume!),  because WABAM, this is what it looked like!!!

And all of this is still left downstairs, piles on piles.

You are personally invited to join me on this journey as I cope with the everyday antics of shopaholism.  What you can expect to see:  

DIY - I shall, like a magician, turn my stuff, into other stuff (snazzy I know)

Shopping - For you (not me silly I'm reformed, remember), I gotta do something about this mess

Personal Style - Let me show you how I combine my stuff with my other stuff (you just might like it, that is, if you're cool!)

Inspiration - What really gets me

Shopping - DUH, I lied about the being reformed part (Rule #1 Never trust a shopaholic)

Until then my friends, and foes perhaps, I do not know who is reading this,

Happy Shopping!!!
