Today in retail you never knew was happening, I stumbled upon these CODE Hex Caterpillar sneakers that look like they came from a high-end fashion house, not the dirty corner of a construction site. At a mere $60 a pop with unisex sizing and leather uppers, these are a true hidden gem. And if the…
Y’know, it can be terrible, or it can be really alright. I’m pretty involved in the choosing of the bridesmaids dresses as the maid of honor in an upcoming wedding, and I have to confess that while I love fashion, this endeavor is a challenge. Like, the bride who I obviously love with my whole…
I have a pinterest board titled similarly, but it turns out most of my wardrobe of late has been athleta—and I’m not talking athletic clothes, because those are primarily other brands. I’m talking day-to-day shorts, tanks, and pants. Packing for my upcoming two week trip, I realized I was packing almost exclusively Athleta! Kind of…
It took me a long time to come around to wearing Tevas (still a no on Chacos) but now that I do, I love them—for outdoor pursuits. (sidebar: did you KNOW the word Tevas looks shockingly like Texas at a glance??) ((sidebar sidebar: I saw on instagram so it must be true that Norwegians use…
Or perhaps dirty hippie. I don’t know, but what I do know is that For Days, a new t-shirt company positively ticks off all of my boxes. They say: With a unique closed loop system, For Days is deeply committed to manufacturing innovation and waste reduction. We empower our members to free themselves from the…

We took cashmere scraps, spun them with five percent virgin wool for strength, and created a luxurious new cashmere collection with a much lower ecological impact than virgin cashmere. 95%…
Just in case anyone out there is searching this blog for nudes … Nudes: even sexier in the winter? Maybe.
A few years ago I implemented a strict one-in, one-out policy for clothes-buying. It was successful, but I constantly wish I would pare down more: I have a few pieces I love, love, love, and I wear them ALL THE TIME. Why bother keeping the rest? Because I might, maybe, possibly want to wear them…
Because recycling/upcycling/donating is the best. Mail in any secondhand athletic apparel (any brand) to GRACEDBYGRIT by May 1, and you get 40% off one item! They are donating everything to the Community Resource Center in Encinitas, a center aiding women, children and victims of domestic violence. All you have to do to get the discount…
On my last Aspen trip, I kept borrowing my gal pal’s Sorel wedges. They were unbelievably comfortable and look extremely cute (to boot). Since returning to sunny SoCal, I’ve still been obsessing over them. I just can’t decide which style I like more … And, lucky us, it’s just after bootie season, so these killer…
