got it in the bag.

Bags. A girls best friend, right next to shoes. There's something mesmerizing about bags. There are so many types: shoulder, hobo, totes, clutches. They come in a variety shapes, colors and sizes. They're perfect for the day to carry all your essentials to school and work, or to carry your basics for a night on the town. Personally I think purses can be over looked and deserve to be the star of the show. That being said, I decided to do a post on celebrity outfits with their clutches being the main focal point.

blouse, clutch, pants, heels

This look was totally unexpected from LC, but I'm in LOVE! Although this look is primarily all black, it's multidimensional. Taking a flowy blouse and pairing it with faux leather leggings is rock n roll chic. Adding a pop of color with a turquoise clutch is genius!

dress, clutch, booties

This hip hugging safari green dress is sexy all on its own, but when paired with some uber hot booties and leopard clutch, this look is down right wild!

dress, clutch, heels

This lace dress is ultra feminine! Adding a pop of red with the heels and purse takes this look from young girl to sophisticated woman.

If someone told me they put blue, yellow and purple together in an outfit I would probably think they are joking. This fun and colorful combination is totally unexpected, but it works!

What is your relationship with purses? Do you love these colorful clutches or could you do without?

not your grandma's doilies.

When the word crochet comes to mind, you might automatically think of the numerous doilies found at your grandmother's house. Let me assure you, these pieces are NOT something you'll see your grandma wearing. The crochet trend has become recently popular due to the 70's being heavily inserted into the trends this season. Numerous celebrities have been rocking this trend such as Nicole Richie, Rachel Bilson, Kate Bosworth and Miley Cyrus. Here are some of my favorite looks I've seen along with their more affordable counterparts.

Dress, Sunglasses, Bag, Boots

Her Dress - $110 Our Entire Outfit - $163.90

Vest, Blouse, Shorts, Booties

What do you think about this new trend? Are you okay with crochet, or do you think you'll stay away?

DIY, what a stud.

Celebrities rocking the infamous Burberry Trench

A couple weeks ago I did a post on stylish rain proof outfits. Although I usually make outfits with the viewers (and my own) budget in mind, I couldn't resist throwing in the $3,000 Burberry Studded Trench in one of the looks. What seemed like an untangible item, is now absolutely attainable thanks to a little DIY post done by Erica Domesek from  P.S. I Made This!

What you need:

-Pick up sushi (this might take a while so you'll need to eat!), along with about 100 chopsticks
-Go to your local craft store and pick up some gold paint & a glue gun (unless you're an avid DIYer, then you should have one already)
-Steal Borrow chalk from local neighborhood spawns children
-Find a hunky man willing to saw off all the tops of those 100 chopsticks
-Oh yeah, don't forget to get a trench coat!
-Last but not least, find some time & patience to actually start and complete this project!

Do you plan on trying this out for yourself? If so i'd love to see pictures of your finished products!

free-spirit meets tough chick.

Although I'm not one to follow trends, this one definitely caught my eye. I've been wanting to do a post on a celebrity outfit for less, and this seemed to be just the inspiration I needed. The (faux) leather jacket is perfect for day time or night time. It's definitely a must have piece, and is a well used staple in my closet. Combined with a feminine floral maxi skirt (another item on my must have list!), provides the perfect balance of tough girl chic, with a touch of feminine flare. Below are three looks I put together for under $100! 

Look 1: jacket, skirt Look 2: jacket, skirt Look 3: jacket, skirt

What do you think of this new celebrity trend? Would you wear any of these looks?
