Drooling over Jason Wu (for Target)
I’ve been drooling over these new Jason Wu for Target looks for days now. Hands down, this is going to be my favorite Target-designer collaboration (so far), and I might actually hang out online until midnight on February 5 to to try to claim some of these budget-friendly frocks. While Missoni had shoppers knocking down [...]

Guest Blogger: Bedroom on a Budget
Greetings all you fashionistas out there! It’s Sara from HighFahion4Less and I couldn’t be more thrilled to be guest blogging here today. Since most of us spend a lot of time in our bedrooms (one third of our lives to be exact), I thought it would be fun to give you a sneak peak into [...]

Goodwill Good Buy of the Week
You’re probably going to ask why I’d even consider recommending that anyone wear black in the summer. There are colors to wear! Bright pinks and greens and jewel tones and glitter! Maybe not glitter. But, honestly. There are so many colors to wear this summer that nothing is out of line. But that wide range [...]

Bring May Flowers
Don’t you just love when celebrities give quotes to magazines, talking about how “obsessed” they are with this or that? Â ”I’m just obsessed with this bag right now!” Â ”I’m totally obsessed with this lip balm!” Â I usually roll my eyes at these hyperboles, and yet… Â I find myself *almost* being – dare I say it?

Party Time! Excellent!
Can you believe it’s only a little over two weeks until the end of the year, dear readers? I – for one – cannot. It seems like only yesterday I got used to saying “twenty ten” and remembering to include that number on my checks. Or rather, check. I don’t really use those anymore! Anyway, [...]

She Wore Blue Velvet
Ahh…velvet. It’s a tricky fabric. Many of us probably have memories of a hideous childhood dress that combined velvet, taffeta, a large bow or two bow, and possibly a lace peter pan collar thrown in for good measure. Banish those thoughts, dear readers, because velvet – and its kid cousin, velour – has been making [...]

The Look for Less
I used to watch this show with Elisabeth Hasselbeck and think, I could do that. That’s actually my specialty – seeing a designer look in a magazine that costs thousands of dollars, and finding it in real life for much, much less. Sure, I would probably rather have the real thing, but that’s not how [...]

Guest Blogger: The J. Crew Effect: When Imitation Goes Too Far
“Imitation is the highest form of flattery.” – Coco Chanel In most instances, Coco Chanel was right. Imitation is without a doubt the highest form of flattery. However, the essence of her famous quote has been distorted. Maybe for Jenna Lyons and J.Crew this may ring true, but for we, the consumer, a line needs [...]

It’s About Time.
When I was at Polimoda in Italy, we discussed how the top design houses would not manufacture clothes for the woman larger than a size 8. I was incensed by this information.  The explanation was that brands like Gucci do not want just anyone to be able to wear their designs. They want a very specific, [...]
