Why You Need To Get To Know; & Other Stories

Did You Know?  “In 15 years, Kendra Scott has grown her eponymous firm from a wholesale business run out of her spare bedroom to a chain of 60 stores, mostly in Texas, California and Florida, and over 2,000 employees. Its estimated 2016 revenues were $160 million.” (via)


You’ll probably NEVER guess my favorite clothing brand & place to shop.  You’ll never be able to guess because I only recently discovered it & claimed it as my favorite – now I’m sharing the deets.

Last time I was in Dubai, it was the Dubai Shopping Festival.  Which means: SALES.  EVERYWHERE.  There couldn’t be more glorious news for me to hear.

The Dubai Mall has SO many amazing stores, but lucky for me I stumbled into & Other Stories.  I’m telling you, everything. And I mean literally everything – was perfect.  The range of styles, the customer service, the gorgeous dressing rooms, the fabrics, the pricing, the smells, the fucking lighting.  SPOT ON.  I grabbed a stack of clothes, as one does when they step in a new store not knowing sizing, and every single item fit like a glove.  The experience was magical.  Don’t tell me that wouldn’t tickle your pickle.

The only issue?  I tried on way more than I was expecting to actually buy, assuming something wouldn’t fit or I wouldn’t like it.  But when everything fits so perfectly… you have to buy it all!   Right?

Here’s the deal, not only do the pieces fit perfectly.  The fabrics & quality are incredible.  A simple T-Shirt has quality & detail like no other.  At a decent price.

Also, prior to my trip I was willing to spend hundreds/thousands/millions of dollars on a new pair of jeans because I could NOT find any that I loved at an affordable price & became desperate.  I’m extremely picky when it comes to jeans & was searching for years you guys, YEARS!  I finally decided I’d throw down a lot of money on a pair, because more money has to mean a better jean.  I order several popular brands, assuming one had to be amazing, but returned all of them.  I hated them.  Every single one.

Fast forward to my experience in & Other Stories, I bought 2 pairs of jeans! (Big deal for me.)  And this brand will be my go-to jean going forward.  They’re the only ones I own right now.  Again, they fit like a glove.  EXACTLY what I was looking for.  And a fraction of the price compared to the other popular brands.  If you’re looking for a real jean, I found them for you.

I hate to say perfect so many times throughout this post but everything about this place is – perfect.

Of course I quickly made sure they had an online store, and fantastic news, they do.   And free shipping to the U.S.  They also have a few actual store locations throughout the, WORLD.  I believe there’s one in L.A. & obviously Dubai.  But I think also throughout Europe.

A few pieces I have my eye on – currently available on & Other Stories site:

Super Slim Shape Jeans:  You can never ever go wrong with a black jean & these are on sale! & Other Stories has AMAZING sales.  Great news, right?  I actually just ordered these today, lets see how they fit.

Straight Slim Fit Jeans:  The most basic jean, yet the hardest thing to find.  Lucky for us, these are them!

Super High Slim Jeans:  You’ll notice there’s a lot of jeans with a wider fit on the website, don’t be afraid of them!  I hesitated trying them on & I’m glad I did because it’s the pair I wear most often.  I roll up the bottoms a little to pull the outfit together.  You’ll notice in my Insta pics I wear this style often.  So comfy!

Almond Toe Suede Sandals:  Nude, nude, nude.  Because it goes with everything! And a thicker heel makes these easy to wear all day.

High Neck Frill Dress:  The peach & frill detail by the neck & arms has me swooning.  & it’s time to start thinking Spring + Summer.

Glass Pendant Necklace:  I’ve been into dainty jewelry lately, like this piece.

Gradient Stork Scissors: How cute for an office or desk that people often see.  & Other Stories also has home products that are unique & detailed – worth checking out.

I didn’t include many SALE items in the above list because the sizing & availability varies so often, but totally check out the sale pieces.  If you see a full price item that is too expensive for you, keep an eye on their sales.  The sizes go fast but you can always find something & maybe the exact piece you wanted!  Their sale’s have excellent savings & not short on style or quality.

Most of the photos in this post are from Instagram, you may have noticed I’ve been wearing this brand a lot lately.  They’re just the perfect pieces!

This makes me feel like I’m missing out on other places, how did I just now discover & Other Stories?!  Share you’re favorites please! Where is your go-to perfect place to shop? Leave it below!

Have a great day & be thoughtful
