Deal of the Week

UPDATE: I know these have sold out, so here’s another great option for only $29.99!

I’ve been watching so much football with my husband lately.  Those crazy announcers always make their picks, so this week in honor of the NFC/AFC championships coming up, I’m putting my money on…coral jeans!

Trust me, these will be the must-have jean of the Spring so if you don’t own them you need to get them and this pair from F21 is an amazing deal for under $25.  You can find them elsewhere selling for up to $200, but after much research, I still think this version is the best one I’ve seen so far!

But if you order them online, pick them up in your size and one size down. They seem to run slightly bigger than traditional F21 sizes.  This way, you can just return the ones that don’t fit–BTW, if you order from F21.com they WILL give you a full refund if you return via mail!

This will save you from the dreaded “oh no, they’re sold out and now I don’t have my right size” moment and me from the emails asking for help in trying to locate them!

I was able to score a FABULOUS faux-shearling jacket last year at New York & Co and I haven’t seen anything come close to being as cute until I saw this…

There’s no room for another one in my closet but if you’re looking for this style of jacket, this is the one to get.  And it’s on sale for $59! As if you needed more reasons to buy it!

Now that it’s officially fall I go into boot mode.  Thankfully I purchased about ten pairs last year so there’s no need to add any to my very large collection, but now I need some new items to go with them and lately I’m obsessing over long-sleeve dresses.

I love that on a cool day I can get away with wearing them with ankle or knee-high boots and once the temperatures get a bit colder, I’ll add wool tights to keep me warm.  I’m a total dress girl (my closet is full of them) and while most of the dresses in my closet are Summer/Spring frocks, I’ve been adding quite a few long-sleeve numbers to help round out my collection.

This dress in particular has been one of my favorite purchases so far this season and it’s something that I’ll go to on days when I don’t feel like getting dressed but still have to…and it’s the perfect fall neutral, navy!  The print makes the dress a little more interesting and it’s thin enough that I could also layer it under a chunky knit sweater or over a blazer which is how I’ve been wearing it. I also love that it incorporates the sheer trend which happens to be one of my favorites right now!

For under $25 you really can’t go wrong…and don’t forget to swap out the belt for something a little more adventurous…I paired my dress with a bright yellow patent one!

There’s a shoe trend making the rounds on all of NYC’s most stylish women and I’m happy to report this trend is not only fashionable, but functional as well!

Flats have really gone the distance…every season they keep getting better and better and this season is no exception.  I’m in love with the velvet loafers I’m seeing everywhere and while I would never spend $275 on this pair from J.Crew, I would spend $26!

Lulus.com (one of my absolute favorite sites) has these three styles (leopard is out of stock at the moment) on their site and I need to add them to my shoe wardrobe ASAP!

These shoes look great with a skinny jean and they’re such a fun update to my classic ballet flats.

One of my favorite fashion girls, Olivia Palermo has been spotted wearing her Stubbs & Wooton’s everywhere…with tights, dresses, skirts, black pants and of course jeans.

So while at first sight these might be best left in the bedroom, give them a shot and take them for a chic spin outside!

I will be honest, I am one of those rare Fashionistas who wears very minimal make-up. You give me a good mascara and a bit of lip gloss and I am in heaven, all that matters are those killer shoes and handbags. However as of late I have become obsessed with all things make-up. It’s as if the five-year old in me has re-awakened and all she wants to do is experiment with color and what better place to do this than at Sephora.

During my latest 8AM visit to the Wall Street Sephora, I discovered what has to be the must have make-up palette for all Fashionistas, The Allure Beauty Editor Palette by Sephora!

The palette consists of 5 mini-palettes which are made up of 6 eye shadows, one blush or bronzer and a non-sticky lip gloss, yes ladies non-sticky. It also includes one carrying case which fits all the mini palettes and can be thrown in your work tote or your evening clutch. But hold on it gets even better the value of the palette is $150 however it is being sold for $34.00, is this a bargain or what?

And the best pat is that the palette has colors for every season, so you will not have to buy make-up for a very long time. Whether you are just beginning to experiment with make-up (like myself) or are a make-up junky, you must get to Sephora as soon as possible and purchase this palette, you will not be the least bit disappointed! Have fun experimenting with the beautiful colors and don’t be afraid to try out new looks for the upcoming season!

It’s been so hot lately that the only options I have in the AM are a dress or a skirt…so anytime I see a skirt that could go casual to dressy and look super cute at the same time I’m sold.

I’ve been scooping up skirts during the J.Crew sale but none have been as cute as this Forever 21 one.  I love the texture, the length and to be perfectly honest, I plan on wearing it exactly how the model is…with a super light weight denim shirt.  And while it may seem a little “western” with all of the Southwest style love we’re feeling around here, it may just be on of my go-to summer outfits for the rest of the season!

Oh and of course we left the best part last…it’s under $20!

Aldo, you are killing me. Seriously…just when I was trying to clamp down on my summer spending, Aldo rocks my world with the sale of the summer.  The shoes, the bags, the jewels, OMG! How do we narrow this down?

One of my current faves has to be the DYLE wedge. I saw it debut back in May and have been patiently waiting for it to go on sale.  Now it’s under $50 and I may just have to own it in both color ways!

Check out www.aldoshoes.com for more shoes than I can even handle…oh and did we mention that shipping is free! I suggest you order all of the styles you’re interested in, try them on in the comfort of your own home with your closet handy and then just return the ones you don’t want to your local store!

And while you’re there, check out their selection too! I actually saw more must-haves in the actual shop than I did on-line! Can we say happy feet?!

I am so, so, SO excited for the Zara Semi-Annual Sale. The sale just kicked off Friday June 24th so there’s still plenty of inventory! I consider Zara to be one of the most fabulous yet budget-friendly stores out there so when they start slashing their prices even more…well, now we’re talking!

My only complaint is that they don’t have an online store, but if you can make the trip to a store near you, trust me it’s worth it!  You’ll have to stop yourself from buying everything.

And its not just women’s clothing, everything is on sale. Kids, mens, shoes, bags, jewelry is all marked down in celebration of summer and pre-fall.

Blazers, like this electric blue show stopper are from $29.99, party dresses from $15.99, summer shorts from $15.99, and t-shirts as low as $5.99!!!

And that’s just the half of it. Ladies, you need to get to Zara before all the goodies are picked over and the sale is gone! And if you find something totally amazing…share it with us in the comments!

I’ve been looking for a flip-flop upgrade that would work for dressed up summer days when I have a meeting or when I’m wearing an outfit that needs something other than rubber footwear!  My only requirements were that they were neutral enough to go with everything and that they had some hardware so they’d feel fancier than my plain sandals.

I fell in love with a pair of Tory Burch sandals at Nordstrom, but I’m not spending $200 on something that doesn’t even cover my toes so I was happy to come across these studded stunners from Forever 21 for only $13 bucks…I bought them in both colors because really, how could you not?!
