Welcome to the first edition of our Styled by... series where we’ll be teaming up with our favorite local fashion gurus to bring you their amazing style tips and STA finds!  For our first Styled by…takeover we invited Regan, of the style and travel blog Venture Travelist,, to our 176 Newbury St. location in Boston to pull together her favorite pieces and dish on all things fashion just in time for the holiday season.  If you like what you see and want to shop more of Regan’s Styled by Venture Travelist picks, head to the store to shop her curated rack or order pieces right over the phone!

First off, let’s start with the fashion – how would you describe your personal style? -back chic, for sure. I err on the side of fun and comfortable, and I always like to add an unexpected twist — whether it be menswear, vintage jewelry, or even a groovy manicure.  My daily uniform consists of either a midi-skirt or skinny jeans, a t-shirt with a statement jacket or vest, and a great pair of sneakers.

I’m guilty of procrastinating a Halloween costume until the very last minute (and this year is no exception). You think I would have learned my lesson by now, but it comforts me to know that I’m not the only one who does this. I pride myself on being able to throw a costume together at the very last minute (due to party invites that are totally unplanned).

There are just some classic characters that are just begging to be a Halloween costumes. Not just because they’re cool, but because they are THAT easy to replicate. I don’t know if it’s a good or bad thing that my closet is this extensive, but here are my easiest go-to characters for All Hallos’ Eve:

 
Rosie the Riveter

Chambray Top + Jeans + Red Bandanna + Boots = The Easiest Last Minute Halloween Costume Ever!

Sandy from Grease
Black Crop Top + Leather Jeans/Leggings + Red Pump + Red Lipstick + Over-the-Top Curly Hair = Hello, Sandy!
Vivian Ward from Pretty Woman
White Tank Top + Blue Bandage Skirt + Over-The-Knee Boots = Va-Va-Voom
Cher from Clueless
Red Tank Dress + White Feather Boa = As If!
Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany’s
LBD + Statement Necklace + Perfect Updo + Fake Cigarette = An Icon

Yes, you did read that correctly. This week, we are offering STA consignors a 50/50 split on all of their consigned items. We want you to bring down those designer duds that are just taking up space/collecting dust in your closet, so you can make some fast and easy cash! Or better yet, get a store credit to STA and buy something for all of your hard work. Hey, choosing what stays and what goes is a hard task that mustn’t go unrewarded.

Right now, (as much as we hate to have to) we are all preparing for colder weather. Our stores are looking to consign jackets across all price points. Barbour and Burberry are flying out of our stores (a no brainer). With a new-to-you jacket, a scarf to keep you even cozier is your next stop in our stores. We have had a huge increase in designer scarves coming into our stores, like Hermes, Chanel, and Louis Vuitton.

I am personally loving how many boots we are seeing walking right in and then quickly back out of our doors. I can’t even get my hands on our best designer shoes faster than our customers (good for you, but bad for me)! We have a wide range of price points to meet any fashioniSTAs budget. Same goes for jewelry. We see David Yurman, Tiffany and Co., and Hermes jewelry selling very quickly.

So if you have anything you want to make a quick buck on, bring it down to your closest STA location!

I’ve been on a serious hunt for the perfect leather jacket. I know that you can find one in most stores, but I want one that I can invest in and wear until the end of time. Back in the day, I bought myself a cheap (and I mean like $20 CHEAP) faux leather jacket on clearance at H&M. Don’t get me wrong, the cheap-y piece served me well during my college days due to only wearing it when party hoping during the colder weather. Who wants to wear a puffy jacket to a party? Plus, I tossed that thing around like nobody’s business. Let’s not mention how much beer that thing came into contact with.

Now that I’ve entered the workforce, I have found myself coveting jackets that not only keep you warm, but keep you looking cool (see what I did there?). I die every time I see a Saint Laurent signature motorcycle jacket. That is my definition of the perfect leather jacket, but (sigh) the $5K price tag snaps me back to reality.

This brought me to research potential options to explore for my next investment piece. The Wes Moto Jacket by Rebecca Minkoff in light pink with gunmetal hardware is so freakin’ cute and the price is pretty good for a designer leather jacket. Anna Kendrink and Kate Mara were both spotted in this jacket (at the same event – gasp!). Aimee Song of Song of Style has a red, embellished one I’m absolutely dying over.
