Irina — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 13:00:34 +0000

HOT DEAL: Use code “USSAVE30” to get $30 OFF your $150 order! Ends 01/22.

I’m a sucker for all things ASOS, but in the last few months and weeks I kind of fell out of love with it a little. The new arrivals didn’t thrill me, promotions became fewer and not so attractive and I just wasn’t feeling like shopping there. Obvioulsly that changed today when I saw a buck load of new bright and colorful arrivals which ignited the spark again. Check out my latest ASOS obsessions below and let me know what you think of my selection. Oooh, and if you decide to shop at ASOS in the coming days, there’s a great promo going right now until 01/22/2012: spend $150 or more and get $30 OFF full price items. Simply enter code “USSAVE30” at checkout to see your savings!

Real vs. Steal – Burberry Giant Check Wool Silk Gauze Scarf

Roseanne — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 14:00:59 +0000

Scarves are a great way to accessorize, but not for $325. As much as I adore this Burberry Giant Check Wool Silk Gauze Scarf, it’s way beyond my price range. It seems to be a bit light for winter in my area, but perfect for warmer seasons. No need to worry about the price because the scarf below is practically identical and very affordable.

Melrose Glam “Classic Nova” Scarf

HOT DEAL: Use promo code “INTHEIRCLOSET” to get 15% OFF your order!

To be honest, I actually like this scarf more than the one by Burberry. I think that the darker pigmentation of the Melrose Glam “Classic Nova” Scarf looks more expensive, but the best part is that it’s only $10. This would make a lovely accessory for really any outfit, and also a great gift for someone who loves the classic Burberry style.

Real vs. Steal – Burberry Icon Check Cashmere Scarf

Roseanne — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 16:30:44 +0000

With this colder climate it’s safe to say that scarves are becoming an essential part of my wardrobe. Scarves can really add definition to any ensemble and are a staple piece on one of those “nothing to wear” days. This Burberry Icon Check Cashmere Scarf maintains a signature style with super soft cashmere, check print, and delicate fringe. It is the ultimate exemplar of how to liven an achromatic outfit, or just a brilliant way to stay warm this season.

In Kristin Cavallari’s Closet – MINKPINK & Alexander Wang

Irina — Sat, 29 Oct 2011 13:00:02 +0000

So in terms of fame, talent and celebrity status Kristin Cavallari might be totally irrelevant and overrated, but I have to admit I do like the way she dresses. For example, I love the look Kristin recently sported while making her way to the LAX airport. Big shades, carrying the iconic Rocco satchel by Alexander Wang, black skinnies paired with suede high heel booties, an oversized cardi and an animal print snood to cozy up with when the overenthusiastic A/C starts blowing your way on the plane. Casual and comfy yet still totally stylish. A+ for travel chic!

Real vs. Steal – Yves Saint Laurent Leopard-Print Silk-Muslin Scarf

Irina — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 12:00:09 +0000

So if you’ve been reading this blog for more than one day you’ll probably have already noticed that I loooooove leopard. Maybe that I’m even a little obsessed with it. Especially with leopard accessories. The easiest way to wear this animal print, for me, is to wear it on a scarf. Last year I bought a great leopard print scarf from Warehouse via ASOS and have been wearing it every other day ever since! And if there ever was a perfect leopard print scarf, it would have to be this silk one by Yves Saint Laurent. Isn’t it absolutely stunning? So delicate yet wild! Gorgeous! But $560? Slightly out of my price range I’m afraid.

($560, NET-A-PORTER)

P.S.: Also available at MyTheresa.

Volcom “Naute Girl” Leopard Print Scarf

So this leopard print scarf by Volcom is 100% polyester and not silk, but at $25 who am I to complain? It will give you the identical look of the YSL scarf and save you a friggin’ $535.

Celebrity Look 4 Less – Gwen Stefani’s Leather Jacket & L.A.M.B. Peep-toe Booties

Irina — Wed, 04 May 2011 14:00:16 +0000

I think Gwen Stefani and Dita Von Teese are the only ladies who can wear crimson red lips while grocery shopping and not look overdressed while doing so. I am always super smitten with Gwen’s street style. Here she’s wearing black open toe ankle boots from her upcoming L.A.M.B. Fall 2011 collection, but since these won’t be available for purchase for a few more months I decided to do a look 4 less on Gwen’s casual yet super stylish outfit.

Obsession of the Day – GoJane Scarves

Irina — Sat, 12 Mar 2011 16:00:43 +0000

HOT DEAL: Use coupon code “SPRING25R” to get 25% OFF regular priced styles.

I’ve never been a big fan of scarves until a few months ago when I realized they’re the easiest and most often also the cheapest way to spice up one’s day-to-day outfits that tend to be on the boring side like jeans and a sweater/cardigan. That’s why I did some serious scarf shopping last year and now I have a nice and varied selection of beautiful scarves to add to an otherwise bland or boring outfit. GoJane‘s newest arrivals contain a large selection of fabulous scarves and since they’re all around the $10-$15 price range (even less if you use the promo code above, expires 03/17), you should feel free to grab more than just one or two. My personal favorite/recommendation would have to be #5; I recently bought a leopard print scarf by Warehouse for around $30 and haven’t been able to NOT wear it out ever since. Best accessory buy so far!

GoJane Lace Design Scarf, $15.60

Celebrity Look 4 Less – Kristin Cavallari’s Fab Biker Look

Irina — Mon, 06 Dec 2010 19:00:50 +0000

LA girl Kristin Cavallari was recently papped leaving a restaurant in a biker-inspired ensemble. She was wearing the mandatory “all-cool-kids-do-it” Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunnies, a black A.L.C. leather jacket, leggings and matching black Coach biker boots. I like how Kristin de-masculinized her outfit by adding some color in the form of her tan Alexander Wang hobo and the red Nepali Bambi Bobi Scarf ($90). See our budget-friendly take on Kristin’s look below!

Celebrity Look 4 Less – Dakota Fanning’s Leopard Look

Velicia Hill — Tue, 16 Nov 2010 14:00:52 +0000

How cute is Dakota Fanning? Just too cute for words and so is her outfit! I must admit, I love leopard print and I love the fact that young Ms. Fanning, has developed a style all her own. She manages to mix 4 styles seamlessly. A little punk-boots and black tights, some school girl with an a-line mini skirt, old Hollywood retro sunglasses and a touch of glam with the leopard print jacket. From North Dakota (her head) to South Dakota (her feet), I think this is a perfect overall look for a young starlet!
