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!

A few days ago Gossip Girl actress Blake Lively helped making cupcakes for a good cause at Sprinkles in NYC. The blonde beauty looked stylish and festive in a cream sheer button-down blouse which she paired with a stunning gold Gucci leather skirt from the Resort 2012 collection. I’m not sure where she was headed with the dark green Brian Atwood Maniac pumps, but since I’m really loving Blake’s upper ensemble I’m willing to overlook her shoe choice faux-pas. Check out our budget-friendly take on Blake’s look below and let us know what you think!

So I’m slightly undecided whether I like this gold metallic leather skirt by Marc by Marc Jacobs or not. I think it’s a little too flashy for my taste, but if this skirt tickles your fancy, it can be yours – for as little as $798. Yup, that’s quite a hefty price!

River Island Metallic Leather Pencil Skirt
This skirt by River Island is more of the inspired by-kind rather than a complete knockoff (missing belt and different shape), but how often do you come across a mid-length metallic gold leather skirt? This one will give you the same look and save you several hundreds of dollars along the way as well. Score!

While doing my usual blog tour I discovered this great post by Refinery29 where they gave advice on the perfect outfit for a job interview and I loved the featured look so much I had to give it my own “budget look” spin. The combination of red, white and navy is so refreshing yet the outfit still looks work-appropriate and professional (I opted to include a knee-length skirt though). Especially great for any interviews in the creative department.
