Spring SSENSE Sale Picks

If you aren’t familiar with SSENSE, let me introduce you. SSENSE is an online retailer that specializes in high end luxury goods and street wear items. This Canadian based company has made quite the name for themselves since 2020, and they have some of the best deals I have seen. I would consider myself a very light luxury consumer, as I am always considering what to purchase at the best price.

SSENSE often runs sales and private sales on huge designers such as Gucci, Saint Laurent, Off-White and more, at discounts I can’t seem to find anywhere else. Right now, I have gone through and found my favorite picks from shoes to dresses, and what I recommend snagging before it sells out. During these sales, things go fast.

What You Need From Aritzia’s Clientele Sale

If you have read any of my previous blog posts… you know I have a crippling love for Aritzia. But the price tag? Not so much. Lucky enough their annual clientele sale is going on right now, with twenty to fifty percent off everything if you’re a loyal customer. If you are not yet part of the clientele sale, don’t worry. They have many other items up to fifty percent off for you to try. Making a few purchase during this sale isn’t a want, but a need.

With half of my wardrobe coming from this store, I have found truly the best pieces and will tell you what is worth your money.

Oh and I recommend heading to www.artizia.com before everything sells out. Sale ends 06/20.

TNA Cozy Fleece Boyfriend Hoodie

I only have this hoodie in one color due to the steep price for a plain hoodie, but that will change when the weather starts to get colder. I have this in black and have washed it a MILLION times and there is not one sign of wear.

TNA Tennis Skirt

I don’t own this skirt but I bought it for my sister for her birthday and she wears it all the time. It is super light and flowy with built in shorts, and isn’t too athletic so it an be dressed up or down.

Megan’s rating: 8/10

TnaLIFE Atmosphere Hi-Rise Short

I talked about these in my very first blog post almost a year ago they are still a favorite. I work out and lounge in these – they are basically a second skin.

TNA Cozy Fleece Perfect Hi-Rise Short

Again with the cozy fleece, it just doesn’t miss. I have two pairs of the three inch short, but it comes in other lengths including two, five and six inches.

TNA Oritz T-Shirt

This is hands down the best cropped t-shirt I have ever owned. I have this in white and brown and have worn it into the ground. I wear a size medium and it is tight fitting, but not in a “it’s too small” way.

Sunday Best Kicker 90’s Baggy Straight Jeans

When it comes to denim I am an avid Agolde lover. But again the price is not ideal for my post-grad budget. These jeans from Aritzia are the closest dupe I have found in length, style and material. They are the perfect straight jeans and hit just above my ankle. Even though they are just a plain pair of jeans, they are cut extremely trendy and flattering. And right now they are only $68.

Sunday Best Honors Tank

Want to know how I know this is the perfect tank? I have it in three colors.

Good thing it comes in nineteen more!


I Can Go Out Again… What Do I Wear?

With restaurants and bars starting to open back up you may be thinking… what do I wear out? It has been a long time since everyone has gone to a bar or out to nice dinner, and since early 2020 style has changed tremendously. Fashion evolves so quickly, and with that comes with the uncertainty of what to wear out.

I have styled outfits from some of my favorite retailers such as SSENSE, Shopbop, ASOS, and more. Each outfit made for a different occasion, but all supposed to make you feel confident for hitting the town this summer. Shop them all with the links below and via my LIKEtoKNOW.it .


Graduation Dresses To Buy Before The Big Day

I have recently graduated college (sad), so I know the stress of finishing the perfect dress for photos, ceremonies, parties, etc. Since these dresses are typically white across the board, I have found some of my favorite white dresses to wear under your cap and gown. These range in price, style, and formality so you can find your perfect dress.

I have linked all of the dresses shown in the header photo. If you are looking for more dresses, there are more linked in my LIKEtoKNOW.it.

The Ultimate College Capsule Wardrobe for Fall 2020

With a horrible shopping habit comes excessive (but sometimes necessary) spending. I have been constantly looking for back to school clothes, even though I know this is not the normal back to school we are all used to. In order to avoid over-stuffing my closet I thought about purchasing items to begin a capsule wardrobe – but college edition.

If you are unfamiliar with a capsule wardrobe, it is essentially a closet that consist of roughly 37 pieces. Eighty percent basics, twenty percent seasonal. Many people with a sustainable lifestyle follow this wardrobe and spending technique.

Yes, I have more than 37 pieces in my wardrobe; but I am trying to cut down and reduce by getting rid of things I don’t wear that often. A rule of thumb to use is get rid of something if you haven’t worn it in three months. If you really liked it, you’d wear it by now.

Have I considered excessive back to school shopping? Yes. Have I acted on it? Not quite. I have created the ultimate capsule wardrobe specifically for college students, because our closet looks different than someone working in the workforce or someone in high school. If you are looking to build your back to school wardrobe look no further.

10 Bike Shorts That Aren’t Sold Out

Yes you can work out in them & yes, these are actually in stock.

I hopped on the biker short trend a while ago and now they are everywhere; for a good reason. They double as a workout staple and lounging necessity which is perfect for quarantine. Since they have risen so much in popularity, they seem to always be out of stock. Everywhere. I have researched so much about where to purchase the best available biker shorts so hopefully you can score a pair at the places below:

Nike One Women’s 7″ Shorts

This version of Nike’s bike shorts is made with their “sweat wicking fabric”. Seven inches is the perfect length in my opinion, especially for when you’re wearing super oversized t-shirts.

BONUS: Get 25% off site wide on Nike with code MOVE25

Alo High-Waist Biker Short

Yes, these look the same as the Nike one’s but they have a glossy coat over them which I am obsessed with. If you read my Vogue 73 Questions you know I love my leather leggings, but since it is definitely too hot for those right now this is the perfect alternative.

Morgan Stewart Sport Biker Short

I have talked about this brand before, so I couldn’t leave these out. This short comes in the colors of Buttercream, Ballet and Mustard.

BONUS: Get 15% off your first order

Free People Hang Time Short

Retailing for $48, this short is fairly affordable for a good pair of “athletic material” of bike shorts on the market. There is a 4″ inseam which is great if you are just starting out to wear bike shorts, as longer pairs are something I felt like I had to work towards.

Year of Ours V Waist Biker Short

I have recently seen these on Carbon 38 and I cannot get over the cut of them! These would be so flattering on and also have a matching top that can be purchased separately. They have a fairly high price point, but for a good reason.

BONUS: 10% off your first order from Carbon 38

Koral Slalom High Rise Reptile Shorts

Koral is an activewear brand that is commonly known for their high shine biker shorts. This is a take on their original style just in a neutral reptile print. I need these because I need to stop wearing just black and white biker shorts hahaha.

BONUS: 15% off your first order

Onzie High Rise Biker Short

I keep coming across these on Revolve and can’t get over the different prints they have available. While black is a staple, check out their printed shorts in the same style.

BONUS: 15% off your first order

Daily Paper Clothing Rebike Shorts

I saw these and immediately though “tailgates” lol. This and the matching crop top are perfect for Michigan State game days and I may just have to purchase, despite the fact we won’t be able to tailgate. A game day is a game day, go green always.

Adanola Ultimate Bike Shorts

These shorts are worn by my favorite @tialineker and I am way too obsessed with the color. They just restocked and are certain to sell out soon!

BONUS: 10% off your first order

Aritzia TNA Atmosphere Short

Ok I could not leave these out. Yes, they are commonly very back ordered but they are hands down my favorite bike short. The classic black short is not back ordered but it one hundred percent will be soon so stock up ASAP!
