Style Blogger Look 4 Less – Scarlet :: Red Stripes & Eyelash Sunnies @ Wendy’s Lookbook

Irina — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 19:00:31 +0000

So can we first gush a little about the incredibly talented lady that is Wendy from Wendy’s Lookbook?! Seriously, girl has got mad style & a very refined taste. Her outfits are always so well put together; never bland or boring. Case in point: this lovely striped outfit that instantly caught my eye. So I decided to recreate it on a more budget-friendly level. What do you think? Does it do Wendy’s style justice? I can’t believe she’s been style blogging only a little over a year. Such a pro already! Haven’t heard of Wendy yet? Then hop over to her blog and make sure to subscribe to her just as lovely channel on YouTube (she’s awesome at doing fashion-related videos, too!)

Real vs. Steal – Alexander McQueen Skull Print Silk Chiffon Scarf

Irina — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 14:00:54 +0000

Posting a steal find for an Alexander McQueen item always makes me a little sad because I feel very strongly about the brand and the designer and would like to be able to support it by buying the real deal, however my budget says otherwise. McQueen’s iconic skull print scarves have been around for a while now and it didn’t take long before they became a celebrity staple. And who can blame them really? The scarves, which are now available in a million color combinations, are absolutely fabulous; scary skulls printed on delicate silk? Gotta love the contradiction. What’s not to love though? The price of almost $300, obviously.

StyleInch Skull Print Chiffon Scarf

While doing my daily browsing on Amazon I discovered that StyleInch have an incredibly similar pair of skull print chiffon scarves which they are selling for $29; a mere 1/10th of the original’s price. Sure, you can’t expect the same quality, but if you’re looking for inexpensive Alexander McQueen skull print scarf look-a-likes, this is the place to go. And the best part? The scarves are available in an array of different colors: black and white as shown here as well as blue, pink, beige, red and grey. Also check out their shop on Amazon, they have a ton of other designer scarf look-a-likes listed there.

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.

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 10% 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!

Our Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

Who?	Kristin Cavallari
Where?	LAX airport, Los Angeles
When?	October 21, 2011
What?	MINKPINK “Into The Wild” Snood ($54.95), Alexander Wang “Rocco” Satchel ($875)

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.

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.
