am i the only one that finds it super hard to shop for their moms? when i was little, whatever we kids  my dad got my mom, she would always end up returning it! now it's slightly easier, thanks to online shops like shopstyle, artifact uprising, zazzle, etc you can find easily customized gifts to fit any of yo' mamas. good luck and happy early mother's day! -m

ON THE HUNT FOR THE PERFECT BOYFRIEND JEAN

clockwise from upper center: american eagle, gap, madewell, refinery29, j.crew

time flies even when you're not having fun. (and by not having fun i mean studying for finals. tis' the season right?) my last real post was about a week and a half ago. anyway, i have been on the hunt for sometime now in search of the perfect boyfriend jean. madewell has my favorite pair, but i'm afraid my wallet will become to light once i leave with them in tow. american eagle has some inexpensive pairs, that could be distressed by themselves. we'll see. the hunt continues for now! if you have a favorite pair of bf jeans i'd love to hear about them! xo. molly
