Celebrity Inspiration – Zooey Deschanel

July 24, 2013

Everyone loves the “girl next door look” that Zooey Deschanel has indeed perfected. Her ultrafeminine vintage hairstyles and chic pin up girl looks have got America screaming for styles that invoke innocence and flirtaciousness (yes, I know I made that word up).

I feel like Zooey Deschanel’s styles typically carry a few key elements. Firstly, she’s in love with a peterpan collar. Secondly, she almost always wears opaque tights under her shorts and skirts. Finally, she has a habit of sticking to a black, navy, red and ivory color pallet. Do I love all of these things? Absolutely!

Achieve Zooey’s look for much less than $100 and feel like a million bucks. I love the modesty of this look and how, despite it’s lack of cleavage or thigh, it is completely feminine and sexy.

Happy shopping, fashionable friends!

Today’s outfit may actually be a new favorite of mine. I love ALL of these pieces and they are extremely high quality. I love Aritzia and when they finally opened their online store – I thought I had died and gone to heaven.

Well, sale season is here and you can find some of Aritzia’s best for incredibly reduced prices! Check out today’s Fab & Frugal Deal of the Day – all for less than $70! I know, it’s pretty awesome.

Looking Lovely…Underneath

July 23, 2013

On my bad days, I have this thing where I pick out some super cute undies (matching, of course) that make me feel 100% better. It’s like me own little fabulous secret. Quality lingerie can be hard to come by when you’re on a budget. Matching sets often cost anywhere from $60 – $300 when you’re looking for great fabric and a good fit. The cheapo stuff I’ll occasionally grab from the Victoria Secret sale bin or maybe the Target undie aisle doesn’t count for the days I’m talking about – I’m talking about a lingerie set you keep on the ready. It can be a base layer for a big date or, if you’re like me, the secret weapon to a little pick-me-up on a rough morning full of self-conscious thoughts.

This deal is a good one. Get a great bra and some super sexy panties for $55.94 altogether! I love this set – it’s very pin-up girl meets modern day attorney.

Happy shopping, fashionable friends!

Feminine Find: Blush Pink Romper

July 22, 2013

I love this soft pink romper which features a lace opening in the back. It’s great for these sweltering summer months because of the light fabric and open back, but it also adds a touch of femininity to what sometimes seems like a childish piece. 

Because I love rompers so much (less time finding TWO pieces to put together), I have included a second fashionable find. The ASOS romper adds a little more fabric for the more modest gal and even gives the romper a more professional edge.

Celebrity Inspiration: Kate Middleton

July 22, 2013

With all the buzz about the royal baby’s expected arrival, it only seemed appropriate to use Kate Middleton for a Celebrity Inspiration post.

I love Kate’s easy style that could work its way into anyone’s life and still be totally functional. She is reinstating elegance into the world of fashion and successfully giving low key designers a following of royal proportions.

I hope you enjoy this look and I look forward to hearing from you!

Celebrity Inspired Friday

July 19, 2013

I love Miranda Kerr’s street style and I think that she is a great inspiration for those of us seeking to turn heads while running errands. 

Today’s style inspiration focuses on flattering the female figure in all the right places and giving the impression of fresh, easy to wear fashion.

Since Miranda Kerr’s fabulous top isn’t quite in our <$100 budget, I came up with a few fabulous alternatives. Have fun with this look as it is as fluid as ever and can be adjusted to fit your mood for whatever day you choose to sport it.

The key to this look is a pair of perfectly fitted white trousers matched with a flowy printed top. The top should add interest to the look while maintaining a casual shape and letting the pants do the work of showing off your beautiful curves.

Joan & David Shoe Find

July 17, 2013

I love shoes like Honey Boo Boo likes cheese puffs. When it comes to shoes, quality counts and no brand produces quality design more wonderfully that Joan & David. I have had nearly all of my Joan & David shoes resoled and refinished just so that I could go on wearing them. This shoe pick is a little more trendy than classic (hello, neon!), but it has great style, it is easy to wear and it could be the perfect low-key accessory for a cute pair of shorts or a great work out fit. I love the chunky heel and the pop of neon that make this find a show stopper. For only $59.97, this Joan & David shoe is well worth the investment.

July 17, 2013

Today’s Fab & Frugal Deals are SO fantastic – I had to post more than one. I have two dresses from Nordstrom that I just can’t get over. Firstly, they are both incredibly priced. Secondly, these silouhettes will flatter all figures. Finally, both pieces will transition seasons perfectly. Budget. Go. Buy. Wear.

Today’s Fab & Frugal Daily Deal includes one of my all time favorite items. I’ve purchased this sweater in white, black and the textured stripe because I love it so much. The quality is amazing, the fit is fabulous and the price point is perfect for such a timeless staple piece.

Friends, I’d like to meet a Madewell linen sweater and, yes, you’re welcome.

Neutral On A Budget

July 15, 2013

Neutral tones are this summer’s favorite trend – besides maybe neon. What makes the neutral palette so great, however, is how timeless it is. Neutral tones and textures have been popular and fashionable since the beginning of fashion history and, in my opinion, they will continue to maintain their A list status for quite some time.

The following is an ensemble of some of my favorite pieces – the entire outfit is less than $100. In fact, get all three fabulous pieces for a grand total of $92.36!

Enjoy!

July 13, 2013

Today’s Fab & Frugal Deal of the Day is one of my absolute FAVORITE outfit combinations. Pair the feature pieces with some deconstructed denim, some shorts or even a great pencil skirt and you’re good to go! 

These are basics that transcend time and complete any wardrobe. The best part…you can get both pieces for much less than $100 AND pay NOTHING for shipping! Fashion win? I think so.

The best part is that everything on Piperlime’s website also ships for FREE!!! If you know me at all, you know I HATE to pay for shipping fees. 

Enjoy playing with textures and colors when it comes to accessorizing your new little black dress because such a classic piece can take on almost any personality.
