Where to find the trends, part 2

by Prachi 27. April 2010 09:22

We're back and with more trendy finds! Thought we forgot about our fabulous readers? Last time we covered finding the latest trends and left off with the nude toned heels. Today we'll finish the list and show you where you can find all of those summer trends for great prices!

4. Rompers and jumpsuits. All you Budgetistas out there already know that Target is a one-stop shop with some amazing pieces and now, more designers than ever. Rompers can be difficult to find at times but Target has a sizable collection. Here's my favorite:

Turquoise is a great summer color and looks fantastic against any skin tone. Plus, this romper has a nice floral embellishment at the top.

5. Sheer. Overstock.com has a great selection of blouses and we found plenty of sheer ones to share, particularly ruffled with sheer. Alas, the one I wanted to share with you was sold out. I liked it so much that I'm sharing it anyways! You can backorder it here and when Overstock restocks, they'll let you know! You can definitely tell that coral is in style. Otherwise, this trio of ruffle sheer shirts is a great second choice especially with the colored tips on the ruffles. For less than $30, its a steal.



6. "Spicy" Leggings.
That means not no black, gray or even denim leggings but leggings with bold prints and colorful designs. Now, some "spicy" leggings out there will run you $200 each (yes, $200 for leggings- and I found it hard to spend $20) but the first pair from Pac Sun is only $10, a nice markdown from the original price of $50. It comes in purple and pink. For those who want something a bit tamer - try this pair of zebra leggings.

   

7. Boyfriend Blazer. Now the blazer prices ran a bit high, if you can, try sneaking one from the boyfriend's closet! Kidding, seriously. I did find one for $20 from JCPenny, featured first, but this one from Nordstorms, with the cinched sleeves made my day. It comes in black and the cream seen below but is a bit pricer at around $50.

      

 8. Fringed Bag. You have the bag from the original post last week and then you have these fabulous bags. The first one adds its own take on fringe - it's by Jessica McClintock so it's expected but maybe not for $30! The clutch is made with satin and the fringe is in metal but it has a very sophisticated evening look. I agree, $30 isn't the best bargain price for a clutch but what about $40 for a white fringe bag? This Marc Eko hobo fringe bag is available in black and white on Amazon.com. I personally am not the biggest fan of fringe but this bag makes me melt!

     

 

9. Military. Like we discussed in the earlier post, military influence doesn't have to mean the big buttons and a rough & tough look- it can be more subtle. Like a military green color and few brass studs found in this Volcom tank on 6pm.com.



10. Bold Accessories. I feel like the bold accessories deserve their own post. There are so many different things to chose from to accent your look, you can't fit it all into one short mention so look out for a post on Summer 2010 Accessories soon!

Shopping Tip: Buy Your Blazers at Goodwill!

by Sarah 9. February 2010 06:01

Now, we know how that title sounds - but don't go wrinkling your nose. Sure, sometimes your local Salvation Army or Goodwill store smells a bit, but if you're willing to hunt through the racks, you'll find a veritable treasure trove of perfect jackets, blazers and more! Our closet is stocked with blazers, which, in addition to being very fashionable right now, are highly practical. We've got orange, hot pink, navy, black, brown...people really underestimate the things you can find at a secondhand store! Best of all, secondhand stores are great for folks on a budget. Most of our blazers are under $5; all were purchased for under $10. If that's not a deal, we're not sure what is!

Stylish Steals: Cool Clutches

by Sarah 2. February 2010 04:43

We admit - we're fans of oversized totes come daytime. We can't help but carry everything but the kitchen sink around with us - you never know what you'll need! However, when the sun sets and we head out on the town, we favor small clutches that fit the essentials and the essentials only. Think keys, lipstick, phone, ID and cash - and maybe a mini hand sanitizer if size permits. Clutches are a great way to add a pop of color to any ensemble; you can jazz up any simple outfit, whether it's a tee shirt and jeans or a black minidress. Below, we've selected some of our favorite colorful clutches. All are under $30, many are under $20, and some are under $10. Wear them in good health, ladies, and get shopping!

Stylish Steals! Urban Outfitters $9.99 and under sale

by Sarah 28. January 2010 06:03

We love Urban Outfitters, but sometimes we find their pieces just a tad overpriced. That's why we love their sale section. The great thing about Urban is that you know the thing you want will go on sale eventually (and unlike Forever21, it's not likely to sell out before it hits the sale rack). There are currently some great finds on Urban's website as we speak. Check our picks below, all from the $9.99 and under sale!

The Look for Less: Hayden's Peep-Toe Booties

by Sarah 13. July 2009 06:09

I'm not a huge fan of Hayden Panettiere, but I will say one thing - the girl knows how to work her body type. Panettiere is short and stumpy, but not at all chubby. This means she sports heels most of the time, especially when it comes to premieres. While doing promotion for her new movie, "I Love You, Beth Cooper", Hayden stopped by MTV to talk with Alexa Chung. She sported a bell-sleeve mini shift dress from Elizabeth and James, and some FIERCE Giuseppe Zanotti booties. Chances are, we can't afford the GZ's, but happily, Charlotte Russe has a great look for less for under $30!

Style Steals: Jessica Simpson launches swimwear collection

by Sarah 22. June 2009 04:58

Jessica Simpson might not be known for her personal style, but that never stops her from adding to her empire. Next up on the list? Stylish swimsuits! Jessica will be partnering with Red Carter to create the suits pictured below, among others. Jessica's previous collections have been a bit too all-american and frankly, trashy for my liking, but these suits are cute. I can see them on even the most stylish of ladies - that gingham two piece is adorable! The collection will launch in December in major department stores across the country. Just in time for Christmas!

Sale Alert: H&M Summer Sale

by Sarah 11. June 2009 09:22

Check it out - H&M's holding their summer sale RIGHT NOW. That's right, some pieces as low as $5. Given that it's H&M, I'm guessing there are MANY pieces as low as $5. So get off your computer and go shopping! It's an excuse to boost the economy, and come on, who can really resist Daria Werbowy in Matthew Williamson's diffusion line?

I know I can't.

Fashionable Swimwear on the Cheap!

by Sarah 25. May 2009 05:50

God, I LOVE Forever21. I wonder at what age I'll grow out of my adoration for the fast fashion chain. I can't imagine a world in which I didn't stop into to F21 for cheap fashionable basics. 

For instance, check out the swimsuits below. They're all priced around $13. Where else could you get a swimsuit for $13? Nowhere! Perhaps Old Navy, but those are often a big fugly, no? These babies are F-A-B fabulous! That cutout black one piece reminds me of the bathing suit Audrina wore on The Hills (the episode where she and Lauren followed the "boys weekend" to Hawaii). And I'm loving the bright colorful bikinis! Not to mention, that white triangle two piece is very Lohan.

Check out the steals below and more at Forever21.com.
