As a young professional, in school or fresh out of college, it's pretty fair to say you don't have a very disposable income. As much as you covet the new Prada loafers or Chanel bag or that insane Margiela coat... Ugh, there is just no way you can afford it all, even if you skip a few meals and walk home rather than take the train or a cab. That's when you find ourselves searching for more affordable but equally as fashionable alternatives. Rushing to all young fashion lovers' rescue is the online wholesaler.  Recently, there has been a boom in the popularity of wholesale websites, often internationally based, that offer youngsters unique and designer-inspired apparel and accessories for super cheap. One of the most popular of these sites, especially among the blogger community, is Lovely Wholesale . Located in Hong Kong, Lovely Wholesale, has an abundance of fun, unique pieces updated on their site almost daily and their prices are sometimes hard to believe....

So, we here at the WearHouse District are always searching for new exciting brands and products, especially ones that mix functionality with style.  Recently, we found what we think may actually be the perfect carryall bag. Enter, the Bomber Barrel by Bomber & Co. Successfully funded on Kickstarter about a month ago, this bag is a godsend for anyone on the go. Whether it be traveling, going to the gym, hiking, camping, or just popping around the city, the bag is perfection. The Bomber Barrel is inspired by the classic duffels we are rather familiar with, but upgraded for the modern age, using ultra grade nylon, a minimal design, and very light weight.

If New Years Eve is any indicator of what's to come, 2015 will be one amazing, eventful, and fun year.  My best friend and WearHouse veteran, Veronica, hosted an amazing party for NYE to ring in 2015 with friends, family, tons of food, fireworks, and photo booths. We all dawned white outfits, in Veronica's Brazilian tradition, and toasted to the memories of 2014 and the possibilities of 2015 with champagne, sparklers, and a glitter-filled balloon (yes).
