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

by Irina on January 27, 2012

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.

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

by Irina on September 22, 2011

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.

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.

Real vs. Steal – Fendi Desir Silk & Suede Sandal Boots

by Velicia Hill on May 4, 2011

UPDATE: This post has been updated on May 04, 2011. Scroll down to see the new add.

I don’t know if someone over at Fendi didn’t use spellcheck, but I totally desire these appropriately named Desir Silk & Suede Sandal Boots. My God, they’re gorgeous! But I’ve checked my budget for the month (twice actually) and these babies priced @ $796 will not be accompanying me home. But we’ve done some checking and found a great alternative.

Heel of the Day – Bamboo Colada-35 Cork Platform Pumps

by Irina on March 13, 2011

OK, today’s Heel of the Day post is going to be short & simple because I want you to head over to LuLu*s ASAP and get your own pair of these super fab pink Bamboo cork platform pumps for the amazing price of only $32. How awesome is that? They slightly remind me of Christian Louboutin’s “Catenita” slingbacks which I absolutely adored. Don’t you love it when cheap & fabulous come hand in hand? I sure do.

Celebrity Look 4 Less – Leighton Meester in Army Green Cargo Pants

by Vahni on August 11, 2010

I jumped on the skinny cargo movement a couple months back, so you know I just adore Leighton Meester in this utilitarian look. I didn’t think skinny cargos could be flattering, but the more I see them on, the more I am proved wrong. Leighton’s look may be neutral, but it’s anything but boring. And the best part is it is so easy to recreate, as you can see below.
