the go to: painfullyhip.com

the eye catcher: the homepage says it all..."painfully hip. fashion forward finds for the weak of wallets"

the breakdown:
i stumbled upon it midway through my morning cup of green tea. i only had time to get a glimpse at a few pages of the site. but, from what i saw, it looks like a great place to get some daily swag and steez inspiration. the best part about the the site is the featured "thrift star of the day" look. not only

in their own words: "the painfully hip design collective was started by amber mortensen in january of 2009. after dipping her toe in her dream career as a photoshoot stylist for a winter article she wrote for the sacramento’s esteemed weekly, the news & review, she decided to fatten up her stylist portfolio in her own way. she brought all her talented friends in the fashion industry together to collaborate on professional fashion editorials to make beautiful pictures to add a splash of style to their portfolios, give everyone a bit of online exposure via her popular thrift fashion blog, painfullyhip.com to share with her beloved blog readers. as well, most of the clothing and accessories in the photos can be found for sale on the participating boutiques’ websites, on the collective’s etsy store or for auction on the new (and amazing) market publique!"
