7 Places to Shop in 2017
Its 2017 and almost 2 weeks in. Are you still headed towards your resolution or have you already been cheating? Well if slowing down your shopping was one, I'm here to tempt you. 2017 is bringing on more clothes, more shoes, and more places to shop. Sometimes we get tired of the same places and want to switch it up. These 7 sites have caught my attention over the last year or have magically popped up in the New Year ready to take our wallets. Check them out and I hope you find a new place to shop.
1. STYLENANDA
Korean based brand Stylenanda is going to start off the list for this year. So often we play it safe by not ordering from other countries but how could you say no to this online shop? Offering clothes, shoes, accessories and even their own make-up, 3CE., this can be your newest one stop shop. The brand has been around since 2004 and they follow the oversized aesthetic that is most often associated with Asian brands. But don't let that shy you away, anyone can find a piece for themselves on Stylenanda; from street wear to something seductive for date night. It definitely should be on your list of #clothesgoals this year.
2. The Arrivals
Function, Craft, and Individuality. Thats what The Arrivals are offering us. A still fairly new brand, arriving on the scene in 2015, creates outerwear that stands out. One of the two designers came to the brand offering his architectural background but neither had fashion industry experience. How is it done? They brought in their knowledge, plans, and creates a team to bring the dream to life. The quality of the pieces speak through clear and minimal photos. The designs are detailed, unique, and well thought out. If you are looking for pieces to last, The Arrivals is for you.

3. Saint Heron
So you're inspired by Solange and sometimes you want to dress like her (I'll take it to the extremes and say you'd love to slay like her every once in a while), well, its totally obtainable. Saint Heron is a shop she created earlier in 2016 with her colorful, organic, and minimal aesthetic in mind. She collaborates with designers like James Flemons of Phlemuns and C/MEO, an Australian Women's brand. The shop includes jewelry and other accessories. It doesn't have new merchandise daily nor monthly but the pieces are worth waiting on.
C/MEO for Saint Heron First Thing Dress - Bauhaus, $310 / Linea Germania for Satin Heron "Pussy Power" Towel, $70 / C/MEO for Saint Heron Next Phase Sweater, $230
4. Aritzia
Now I may be late, but Aritzia was be happiest find and buys in 2016. The simplicity and neatness of the pieces at this store is like music to a minimalist's soul. Workwear, party wear, you can find all of it here. Using quality materials like wool, cotton, and even giving you the origin, this shop is for the aware too. I was able to shop in-store in Chicago at the store and I've never loved an in-store experience more. Clean, organized, helpful and well styled employees. Aritzia is a must. And if you hurry over you can catch the semi annual sale.
5. Orseund Iris
Its all about the feminine body. The viral Structured Corset has been seen around Instagram with no tagged source, and when I found the creators I had to put them on the list. Orseund Iris, a non-seasonal brand, gives us select pieces to keep us wanting more. Dreamy, soft, and bold is how I describe this brand. The pieces they have featuring wiring mocking the underwire of a bra, is a statement, is a stance, and is just plain sexy. If you're a brave one, watch and follow this brand.
6. The Frankie Shop
The Frankie Shop stands on Stanton Street in NYC as a place-to-go for the light wallet minimal shoppers. This store welcomed itself online late in 2016 after many awed the store's interior and clothes via Instagram. The pieces are affordable and perfect for those who just need a few to highlight their wardrobe every season.
PS: If you like Pixie Market you'll like The Frankie Shop, and for good reason. The Frankie Shop stands where the Pixie Market used to be.
7. 3x1
When I hear "its all in the details", I think about denim brand 3x1. I remember a time I dreaded denim but as of lately, 3x1 has made me excited about it. Frayed and fringed, flares, step and split hems, 3x1 is give us options with our jeans. Making them fun, lovable, a statement piece. 3x1 also has store, in Soho, New York City, with their factory inside. They give you an inside look at a world we never knew could be so elaborate. These jeans are carried on various sites if you get saddened because the shop is out of your size but keep up with the new arrivals, they never disappoint.
