Land's End Has More Than Fleece?: An Investigation

SO – already missed a day of this "30 consecutive days of blogging" thing. SUE ME (don't - all you would get out of that is my extensive collection of candles and hair ties).

Today I'm here to make a proclamation and announcement, that after thorough research I have concluded that Land's End has officially had a makeover/rebrand done right!

After seeing a post by Refinery29, that was obviously sponsored by Land's End, speaking to a "new look", I was skeptical – that was until I saw their new site!  Yes, very aesthetically pleasing and easy to navigate, but when you actually get into some of their posts, it is very nice. They even have pretty exciting look books (!!!)

Said exciting lookbooks

Land's End

Aside from nerding out over site design, the clothes were even more pleasing! Rather than the typical notion I have when I think of Land's End, fleece half-zips and long johns for skiing (fear not-they still have those), I liked the clothes objectively, not just as an improvement from their stock of years past!

Seeing the clothes has given me a very LOFT/ J.Crew-vibe, and I definitely do not hate it. Will I buy my whole wardrobe here? No. But it's a nice new(ish) place to get basic fall necessities and some pieces that no one will think were purchased at Land's End.

Here are some of my faves:

Back 2 Skewl: First Day 101

This post is dedicated to the fact that I have ONE "first day of school" (barring any unexpected failures...) left!! And it's next week!! WHAT?!

As a college senior, I have had my fair share of "first days" of the semester, and know that it is imperative to make somewhat of an impression so the professor remembers your name, but not so much so that it is very apparent to the professor when you skip class. 

It's a delicate balance, people. 

Top: Chichic / Shorts: Rings and Tings / Sunglasses: Ray-Ban / Necklace: J.Crew / Bag: Topshop / Sandals: Saturday / Watch: Olivia Burton 

Make an impression with statement jewelry and some fun sandals, while keeping it casual and functional with a breathable (no air conditioning in August...a must) top, jean shorts of an appropriate length and without rips (do I sound like a mom here?) a bag to carry all of those totally inexpensive textbooks, and a watch so you can check the time without a. turning around to see the clock on the wall (rude) or b. check your phone and get a death stare from your professor on day one. Bad moves either way. 

In typical college student fashion, I am already on that procrastination train and do not know what I will don on my last first day, nor have I begun my packing process! This is gonna be a good year, I can feel it. 

p.s. what are you guys wearing your first day back!? comment below!!

BYE!!

Weekly Excitements

This is a list of things that give me intense joy/excitement for the current state of affairs/future. ENJOY!

The fact that EVERYTHING at J.Crew Factory online is on sale. Mainly because it is a strictly online sale, meaning no crazy bargain shopping outlet people (....which is usually me). Code: SALE30

The 3.1 Philip Lim collection for Target is less than a month away, AND the full lookbook has been released. 

SPOILER ALERT: I want it all. 

Check the lookbook here

Back to school shopping season is upon us, and my new planner is one for the record books. 

I think constantly looking at neon blue snakeskin will really help my productivity as a human being. 

THAT'S ALL FOLKS!

Stay tuned for a fall fashion excitement list coming your way momentarily!
