Fossil

When you think of the brand "Fossil," I bet the first thing that comes to your mind is a "watch." If I recall, those watches were big in the late eighties...right? Well, little did I know that Fossil makes clothes that are really cute and mostly really affordable. Again, I have my stylish mother to thank for this find.

The blouse above is right on trend with the neck tie that is reversible! I love that because it gives you so much versatility. I also love the colors in it because it can go with many different kinds of pants or skirts.

The skirt pictured above is so adorable with the sweater and tights. I love this look because it is again very trendy, but comfortable. You can't beat an elastic waistband skirt with a comfy sweater, tights and flats.

The lace dress in the last picture would be a great buy for the holidays. I love the color and the length. This would be cute with black tights and wedge heel with some pearls. Classic!

All of the clothes above are only $78 and you can check them out and other cute clothes either at our Fossil store in Wolfchase or online at www.fossil.com

Happy Shopping!!!! :)

Kai

If any of you all are like me and love to put on good smelling lotion everyday and/or you are obsessed with perfumes, then you will love all of the Kai products. I found this brand at Apothetique in Germantown located across from J.Crew. If you have never been in this store, but love all beauty products, then you are missing out.

While I was in there the other day searching for Christmas gifts. I stumbled upon this line and took a whiff. I was blown away by how clean it smelled and that is stayed on me throughout the day. Kai can be bought as a lotion, oil, body mist, body butter, perfume and candles. It is definitely within the budget and I would highly recommend this brand for yourself or to buy as a Christmas gift.

Happy Shopping!!!!! :)

Panacea

I have just recently discovered this brand of jewelry while perusing http://www.cusp.com/ and instantly loved each piece and their prices.

I am posting three pairs of earrings because these were my favorites!

The first pair are so unique and would look great with a cocktail dress. For only $24.00, these would be a great edition to your holiday attire.

The second pair remind me of Ippolita's famous tear drop earrings. These earrings are $48.00 and would be fun for the holidays as well. Panacea also has this pair in a dark blue stone as well.

The third pair are just so pretty to have to wear this Fall and Winter. These colors are beautiful together and would definitely make any outfit pop for only $58.00

Happy Shopping!!! :)

Tights! Tights!...and more Tights!

This post goes out to one of my girlfriends who had on the cutest pair of tights this past weekend. They were so adorable she had to have them and ended up paying too much for tights :) and was worried all night about snagging them. This is where I thought the recessionista fashionista needed to step in.

I found four great pairs of tights at Urban Outfitters for you all to start wearing soon. I am obsessed with theses styles and how they can really jazz up an ordinary outfit. Not to mention they are only $14.99 and or two for $20.00.

The first pair is an adorable leopard print. I think these would look cute with one of the wrap dresses from Banana Republic in my last post. It would definitely make the wrap dress more casual and fun for a night out on the town.

The second pair I thought would look pretty with a simple black or red dress for the holidays. There is so much going on in the tights, I would definitely wear something simple on top.

The third pair I am imagining with a mini skirt and some booties. They are a little more rock and roll, but a fun print to add to an ordinary outfit.

The third pair are so pretty! I would again wear these to a holiday party. I am imagining a strapless dress and these tights with a pearl necklace. I don't know why, but these seem more classic to me so I am drawn to again keep it simple, but add classy accessories.

Happy Shopping!!! :)

The Versatile Wrap Dress

If you are always on the look out for the oh so versatile wrap dress like me :), Banana Republic has a great one in five different colors. I love wrap dresses because you can wear them to church, work or a luncheon and they transition well into a night function. This one is $98.00, but if you purchase one before 11/7 online at http://www.bananarepublic.com/, you can get 25% off. Whoo-hoo!

Happy Shopping!!! :)

Holiday Dresses

With the Holidays just around the corner, most of you might be in the market for an inexpensive Holiday dress. You are in luck because I have found two for you at Old Navy. I have seen these dresses in person and they are pretty cute considering they are only $35.00!!! How cheap!

I think the first one would look so cute with black tights, black wedge booties and some gold accessories. The second dress is a bit dressier and would look great with some sparkly shoes and some bling accessories. Both of them are great jewel colors for the Holidays.

Happy Shopping!!! :)

Reader Request: Scarves!!!!

I had another reader request to find a scarf that would be cute to accessorize with her wardrobe when the weather gets a bit cooler. Lucky for me, scarves are one of my favorite accessories. You can wear them all different ways and of course you can buy casual ones or dressy ones. If you check out this website, you can find out the 37 ways to tie a scarf (who knew!!!)

I have also posted three scarves that I think my reader would like. The first one is $58.00 and is from Anthropologie. I love all the great colors in this scarf. Like the first scarf, I think the second scarf from Ann Taylor would look great as a pashmina as well. This one is priced at $58.00 and if you buy it online at Ann Taylor, by tonight at midnight, it is an extra 40% off. The third scarf is priced at $59.50 and is from J.Crew. It also comes in a grey and black leopard print. I like this scarf for every day with jeans, a white tee and boots.

Happy Scarf Shopping!!! :)
