Kelly · Hermes

I'm just answering the ones that I think I'd be any help on (for example, I'm not yet to the point where I can buy anything high-end so my preferences are undeveloped and useless, and tops/dresses fit me strangely so I usually have to just go with what fits)

Apparel, Shoes and Accessories

Favorite Jean Brand- I've had the most success at Express, but jeans are such a personal thing. My Express jeans fade quickly, but usually they fit well, so even there I'm trading on something.
Favorite Shoe Brand (affordable)- Target & Payless
Favorite Accessories Brand/Store (affordable)-Forever 21, although I usually use Etsy now for jewlery
Favorite Bra Brand- Chantelle (sadly, I don't fit into their size range anymore, so my second-favorite is Fantasie)
Favorite Underwear Brand- Le Mystere (I LOVE Le Mystere panties. I basically live in them)
Favorite Dress Brands (affordable)- I love the design of the stuff Target makes, although usually their dresses fit me really awkwardly. Otherwise, I don't know if any brands in my closet repeat.
Favorite Sweater Brands (affordable)- New York and Company or on-sale Tommy Hilfiger
Favorite Handbag Brand (affordable)- Payless. I know that's janky, but the only under-$100 designs I remember actually really liking in the last year or so have been from there!

Lifestyle and Beauty

Favorite Fragrances- Victoria's Secret
Favorite Body Care Items- the queen helene mint julep mask!!
Favorite Razor Brand- The vibrating schick quattro
Favorite Magazines-Glamour, National Geographic, Scientific American

Favorite Affordable Luxuries- magazines, really good hot chocolate, and pretty underwear!
Favorite Stores/Websites for Gift Items-Etsy
