January 8, 2013Being a fashionista on a college budget isn’t the most ideal of circumstances. Seriously, who wouldn’t love to go shopping without looking at the price tag? As a college student, this isn’t a practical reality. In fact, it seems that the price tag matters more now than ever before. To help keep you looking trendy, [...]

October 14, 2012After scouring thrift stores high and low, we’re back with “Thrifting in the City, Part II.” Last week we took you to Philly Aids Thrift, which didn’t disappoint.
