Look For Less!

16 May

How cute are these snake embossed ‘Jocelyn’ heels by Nicholas?!  Ankle straps are perfect for Summer and they add a fun punch of color to any outfit. They retail for $260 and I suggest you snatch these cuties up asap!  However if you’re on a tight budget there is an affordable alternative for you by Milanoo that will only set you back $38.99!

Karlie Kloss Frame Denim Collaboration

14 May

Karlie Kloss and Frame Denim have teamed up to co-design a capsule collection that launches this June.  The great thing about this collaboration is that the leggy 6’1″ model has created 2 styles of jeans that accommodate even the tallest of women.  The 2 styles- one flared and one skinny come complete with 40″ inseams!  Just to give you an idea, the average inseam on women’s jeans is closer to 32″. This collection will fill that niche for  tall girls who have a hard time finding jeans that fit properly.  The jeans are priced at $209 and $219 and will launch in select high-end stores early this June.

Kate Upton has been everywhere lately from Sports Illustrated to Vogue, she’s been a very busy woman.  Once in a while she’ll do an editorial that isn’t so “hooters” looking and they  always turn out amazing! The 20 year old’s latest Vogue shoot features her clad in Summertime styles.

In the issue, Upton spoke of her now-famous curves “I can’t change my bra size. They’re natural! I can work out and I can stay healthy and motivated, but I can’t change some things. I really just live my life,” she tells the magazine. “I love my body. It’s what God gave me! I feel confident with myself, and if that inspires other women to feel confident with their bodies, great.”  The Vogue June issue hits stands May 21.

What Colors Go With Neon? This Chart Can Help!

11 May


I saw this useful chart on Pinterest and I think it can help many of you who can’t seem to find the right colors to wear with neon.  Super bright neons pair well with black and white, but neon also look great with other colors and this chart makes it easy to find the perfect hues that will  compliment your neon pieces!

Another Target Collaboration Announced!

9 May

Target is at it again, today they announced their upcoming high fashion collaboration with New York City designer Phillip Lim. Unfortunately we won’t be able to shop this collection until September, but I do think it’s worth the wait. This collaboration strikes me as a little different from its predecessors in the way that the design aesthetic is almost identical to Lim’s full priced designs, really giving the frugal fashionista the chance to get a true taste of the Lim’s designs. The collections, one for men and one for women, will be priced at $19.99-$299.99(for a leather jacket) although most items will be in the $19.99-$75 range. The most exciting part is that all the Bags are  priced at $60 or less!  The 100+ piece collection, 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target launches online and in target stores September 15.

Check out the $35 yellow tote offered in the target collection pictured below that is so similar to the ‘Pashli’ satchels that retail for $650-$825!!!  This, my friends is a collaboration worth getting excited over!

Look For Less! Really Really less! (Metallic Pumps)

7 May

Just in case you’ve been sleeping under a rock- metallic pumps are HUGE for Spring & Summer, namely silver.  I did a post on the blingy beauties a couple of weeks back and decided today to go to target to purchase their Vivian heel for $29.99 which is an amazing price considering that the Jimmy Choo version retails for $625 and the “affordable” alternative J.Crew version retails for $255, so if you’ve been wanting to try this trend and you’re on a budget, now’s the time! Run to your local Target store.

My Target visit started with me being so bummed that I didn’t find the pump I came for, then quickly turned to pure JOY when I took a look in the clearance section and there they were for $8.98!!!!!!!!! I was more than fine with the $29.99 price but this was such a pleasant surprise that I wasn’t going to argue with! On trend heels for under $10 including tax- I had to refrain from doing cartwheels out of the store!

Let me also add that this Target photo does these heels no justice, they look quite dull when in reality, they are super metallic and shiny! I literally just left target and all I have is an iPhone pic, but you can see that they are indeed shiny!
