Celebrity Look 4 Less – Kim Kardashian is Lacy in Preen

Vahni — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 18:00:17 +0000

Alright, listen up all you Kim Kardashian haters who blasted her in one of my previous posts: if you don’t like her here, just click away! If you’re still reading, then I’m going to consider you Team Kim. And I don’t care what anyone says, Kim’s bod is sick and she is totally gorgeous. So what if she likes tight. Now’s the time, not when she’s 80. So I say Kim in lacy Preen, with bright pink nails and Veronica Lake hair? Yeah, baby!

Real vs. Steal – Funktional Cage Dress

Irina — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 18:00:54 +0000

Ever since Rihanna wore this caged mini dress by Funktional it quickly became a topseller and soon sold out everywhere because the dress wasn’t only stylish, but also quite a steal at $85! If you’re desperately trying to get your hands on the original, you may still order it at StyleQ, BUT (and there’s always a but…) the dress won’t ship before July 15th, 2010. Can’t wait that long? Read on then…

ASOS Cage Shoulder Zip Back Top

ASOS knows you love Rihanna’s style and/or the caged look, so they went on to create their own caged dress whereas they shortened their version and simply made a top out of it. It’s not that much cheaper than the original, but since that one wasn’t overly pricey in the first place I still think we have a bargain buy here.

Runway to Real Way – Chanel Spring 2010

Vanessa — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 18:00:16 +0000

Chanel‘s Spring 2010 collection – it makes me want to yodel. I’m pretty sure that wasn’t the reaction they were looking for, but really they’re only 2 braids short of Heidi and I don’t mean Montag. Though this look might not be for everyone, I do know many who are head over heels for clogs, so if you want to go authentic with them – here’s your inspiration updated with some feminine florals.

In Ashley Greene’s Closet – D&G Strapless Silk-Satin Dress

Vahni — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 11:00:09 +0000

I’m not sure what I like best about Ashley Greene in this golden yellow D&G Strapless Silk-Satin Dress. The hot bod? The legs? The shiny hair? The heels? A combination of pattern and color that almost feels like leopard print? OK, this is futile. Let’s just tick all of the above and consider it done. Some people have a hard time wearing yellow. Ashley is apparently not one of them.

Real vs. Steal – Max Azria Ruffle-Silk Mini Dress

Celine — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 21:30:29 +0000

A couple of months back we did a post on Camilla Belle’s gorgeous Max Azria Silk mini dress, but at the time we didn’t have a steal version for you lovely folks. I gushed over the color and the shape, the ruffle, the slit, and how perfect it all was for summer. One thing not so worship-worthy was and is the price. Also unfortunate is the fact that the dress is sold out. No wonder, really, considering how, well belle Miss Belle looks wearing it.

LuLu*s Miss Mitzy Mint Dress

HOT DEAL: Use our exclusive coupon code “INTHEIRCLOSET” to get 15% OFF!

Leave it to LuLu*s to feature a stellar knockoff of our Max Azria frock. They have the best mix of brightly colored, fun, summer dresses, don’t you think? Sure, their “Miss Mitzy Mint” dress is more of a turquoise than a green, but I think this bluer color is probably more universally flattering than the sea green of the original. This is the perfect dress to take you from the heat of a summer day to the very different heat of a summer night. Only $39 and don’t forget to use our exclusive promo code above to score yourself another 15% OFF.

Budget Look – Summery in Green & Yellow

Irina — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 14:00:05 +0000

Budget Look is a new feature I’m introducing to InTheirCloset.com – it will be a regular feature where we put together whole outfits with affordable items trying to keep the total of the look under $200. The first budget look is revolved around a beautiful celery green summer dress I found on LuLu*s yesterday. It’s a color we don’t see often: a pastel light green with yellow undertones. While thinking about which color would compliment it yellow naturally popped up in my mind. Too bad yellow doesn’t get much recognition, it’s such an underestimated color. I guess people shy away from it because it stands out so much, but isn’t there a more perfect time to wear it than summer? The whole look comes in at a reasonable $161.99. Not too bad, right?

If there’s anything LuLu*s is extremely good at, then it’s finding the most beautiful dresses for the smallest prices. Seriously, you gotta love them for that! I’ve never seen so many fab dresses under $50 anywhere else. I looooove to browse their New Arrivals section each week. Today it’s the “Line Detector Dress” which stole my heart. I’m a total sucker for striped dresses. I own several already, but still want more and I definitely want this one in my closet. It’s so summery, like elegant and girly had a baby. L.O.V.E.

Celebrity Look 4 Less – Hayden Panettiere in Elizabeth James & Giuseppe Zanotti

Vanessa — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 16:00:17 +0000

You know when you wear an outfit and someone tells you that you look great and “that’s totally your color“? Well, someone needs to tell Hayden Panettiere that. Pastel pink looks fantastic with her skin tone and hair color. The shoes and bag give the otherwise sweet dress an edgier look that is definitely not matchy matchy. Snaps to Hayden and her stylist!

Editorial Inspiration – White Lace Dresses

Irina — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 21:00:57 +0000

I’ve been looking at this picture of model Nika Lauraitis posing in front of the Barbadian sun for the last few days and I must say I’m slightly obsessed. The editorial called Sweet Reverie (shot by Max Abadian) has been printed in Flare’s May issue and it is outstandingly beautiful, relaxed, dreamy. Definitely one of my favorite editorials of 2010. I’ve been especially smitten with Nika’s delicate white lace dress (hers is by Dolce & Gabbana S/S 2010) which she wears over a black corset here. White lace is undoubtedly tricky to pull off for grown women, but I think I found a couple of great and budget-friendly options which could look – if accessorized right – almost quite as eye-catching as D&G’s lacy number.
