Shop 'til you drop...




School girl attire






School is back in session, and although I hate the traffic it creates in my neighborhood, I love the shopping that inevitably gets better as students start to pack into the dorms for the new year. Living close to campus definitely has it's benefits -one of our favorites is probably the new Five Guys burger joint on campus-and it is time to take advantage of the amazing shopping that Tempe has to offer! Some of my favorite local stores are below, and while a few are chains, they still evoke the unique style that a one-of-a-kind boutique has to offer!








Pitaya



They offer really unique and inexpensive basics and fun pieces as well. I have so many go-to items I have gotten there! Best of all, everything is made in the U.S.A.!

American Apparel i
s the place to go for the absolute best t-shirt in town. can you say comfy, cozy, delicious? That is the best way to describe every piece I have ever gotten there, and once again a homegrown company. Everything is produced in downtown L.A.

They have really fun "going out" finds, plus amazing accessories and bags. And once again, the prices are really great. I have been a loyal Divaz fan for years, and their styles still impress...
