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
