Irina — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 19:00:15 +0000

Cobie Smulders may have slipped under my fashion radar for quite a while, but when I saw her rocking a pair of bright green A.L.C. cigarette pants along with a white sheer blouse, also by A.L.C., and neutral colored heels I couldn’t help but be absolutely smitten by the effortless elegance of her look. Find out below how to rock a similar ensemble as Cobie.

In Miranda Kerr’s Closet – J.Crew, Isabel Marant, Alexander Wang & Dita

Juliana — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 15:00:08 +0000

Miranda Kerr pulls off easy Hollywood glamour as she steps out to run a few errands. Of course the Victoria’s Secret model is already gorgeous, but also stylish as well. Picking up on the neon trend in a bubblegum pink sweatshirt, and adding tomboy flair with some distressed denim shorts in a relaxed fit. But what really pulls the entire outfit together are her accessories: A fantastic neutral colored bucket bag, a pair of adorable ankle boots with a very southwestern feel, and finishing off the look with face-framing aviators. Scroll down to get more details on Miranda’s young and hip ensemble, and where you can snag the same pieces that are in her closet!

I can’t believe I almost forgot to do my Shopbop wish list this month! Shame on me! There are so many pretty new things this month to choose from. Seems like lately I’m crushing hard on soft pastels such as coral, lilac and mint. Most perfect Spring colors ever!

Real vs. Steal – ADAM Long Sleeve Striped Top

Irina — Sun, 26 Feb 2012 19:00:29 +0000

So you know much I love striped clothing, right? ADAM has a particularly beautiful top that made it onto my monthly Shopbop wishlist back in December 2011. But as much as I love it a) it’s sold out in my size and b) even the sale price of $136.50 is a little above than what my regular top shopping budget would allow. So off I was to find a steal for this lovely striped thingy!

Warehouse Breton Stripe Top

Ding, ding, ding! Jackpot! Warehouse has a very similar striped top that’ll give you the same French Chic look for under $45. I’m so bummed it’s sold out in my size because if it were available I’d have bought the top for myself in a whim.

Wardrobe Essentials – The Striped T

Irina — Sat, 25 Feb 2012 19:00:15 +0000

So here’s my not-so-shockingly-new confession to you: stripes are my personal addiction. Luckily for me, they are also considered to be a classic trend which returns season after season on runways and fashion magazines. I decided to show you my top 5 picks of perfectly stylish striped tees which you’ll be sure to wear year after year after year. What do you think?

Real vs. Steal – Elizabeth and James Sequined Sweatshirt

Erica — Sat, 25 Feb 2012 17:00:23 +0000

There’s something really fun about this household heather grey sweatshirt by Elizabeth and James gone glam. Yes, I realize it’s essentially a sweatshirt but look at it! I love it with a pair of fitted jeans, however I wouldn’t necessarily pair it with your old chucks that have been rotting in the back of your closet. Pair it with a nice pair of black pumps to bring out more of a glam look rather than a slouchy “I haven’t had my first cup of coffee“-look that Dakota Fanning is sporting. So, if $312 is a bit steep for you we have another great solution!

Warehouse Sequin Front Sweater

UPDATE (02/25/2012): Found another similar Elizabeth & James alternative. This Warehouse sequin sweater is affordable and looks great. Could one ask for more?

EXPRESS Sequin Raglan Sweatshirt

UPDATE (11/16/2011): Reader Aya kindly informed us about yet another fantastic E&J alternative available at EXPRESS. Bonus? They’re currently doing a “Buy 1 Top, Get 1 Top 50% OFF”-promo. Yay for that!

Theme Sequin Sweater

UPDATE (11/14/2011): Ten months after posting the first steal, I’ve came across another great E&J sequin sweater look-a-like by Theme. Although significantly darker than the original I think it’s still a great alternative and a lot cheaper, too!

Ella Moss “Majesty” Sequin Sweatshirt Top

I think the Ella Moss version for less than $100 fits the bill! It’s almost exactly the same look besides a little bit of difference in sleeve length and it comes in grey or black. I would have to say this Ella Moss sequined sweatshirt is superb in following the look and not hurting our wallets.

Obsession of the Day – Ann Taylor Silk Button Tab Long Sleeve Shirt

Irina — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 21:00:32 +0000

For the last few years I’ve been really feeling the attraction of cobalt blue. Not sure why, but I always feel magically attracted to anything that’s vibrant blue. And even though I’m mostly a dress girl, I couldn’t help but fall in love with this beautiful cobalt blue silk shirt by Ann Taylor. Just think of all the outfit choices you’d have with such a versatile yet statement-making shirt! You could pair it with classic black cigarette pants or breezy white flared linen pants to intensify the vibrant blue color. Capri pants, a pencil skirt or your favorite pair of jeans would go just as well with it. You could even consider wearing it bottomless if you feel particularly fashion forward/Lady GaGa-ish; I’m sure you’d still look A-class in it, though be warned, you might get some “Look at this pantless weirdo!“-stares from passersby. Anyway, did I mention I love this blue silk shirt? No really, I loooooove it.

Celebrity Look 4 Less – Blake Lively’s Gold Pleated Gucci Skirt & Sheer Blouse

Irina — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 13:00:23 +0000

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!
