I found myself scrambling out of my apartment for a little late afternoon retail therapy, and the cold snowy rain in Boston must have gone to my head, because I found myself flipping through the racks of Urban Outfitters. It must have been the huge sale sign on the front of the store that drew me in because for once in a long time I took the time to thoroughly look through what they were more or less giving away. The reward was great! By some fashion miracle I managed to walk out of the store with two Shades Of Griege shirts and two Denim Is Everything tees for $39.

Just because the holidays are over, doesn’t necessarily mean the sales have crawled back into their deep dark caves. There are so many infact, that I’m starting to view it as a new form of thrifting, you just have to go as many places and hunt for the good deals. 

***Quick side note, in true Urban Outfitters fashion, the online store is in no way similar to what they have to offer in the store, or te prices, so get out to the store if you have some free time and roll up your sleeves, because it goes without saying that some rummaging is going to be in order.

Our friends over at IS MENTAL were kind enough to show off this amazing ring they found on etsy. I think cool little pieces like this not only complete a look, but draw attention to any extremady they are connected too. Want one of your own, click here!

Yes, Mikaeel was not a typo, he changed his name when he converted to Islam…

And YES, you can buy this signed poster from his “Dangerous” era. It has a gold metallic border with tons of elaborate illustrations, and a black metal frame.
