Pre-Fall H&M Under $175

Thursday, July 15th, 2010

I know I’m rushing you, but fall is right around the corner even if you can’t feel it. How much are you going to wish you had scooped up this ensemble, for a mere hundred and seventy-five bucks – including shoes – come September? Food for thought.

H&M: Head-To-Toe Looks Under $150 Each!

Dinner

Both friends and readers alike often tell me they love the idea of shopping in places like H&M, but are frequently overwhelmed by the store itself. Let’s face it; if you’ve ever been in one, it’s crowded, loud and usually messy, making it difficult at best to shop, let alone pull together an outfit. Complicated by the fact that  there is a ton of merchandise (not to mention they have yet to launch an American e Commerce site *tapping foot impatiently*), I know that many of you choose to steer clear of H&M altogether. I’ve taken the liberty of putting together these outfits – all priced at around a hundred bucks, give or take an accessory or two – to help point you in the right direction. Now have at it.

Outfit Pick: H&M Under $200!

Friday, March 5th, 2010

One of the things that has always been a huge drag about H&M, is that you can’t shop online (unless you speak German). You can however, check out their stuff, and with the addition of their Fashion Studio, you can now waste hours of your precious time mixing and matching various outfits on an underwear-clad model (think paper dolls for big girls). You can even choose a ‘head’ for your model in order to emulate ‘your’ coloring, to perhaps get a better idea of what the outfits might in fact look like on you. I’ve taken the liberty of putting together this little ensemble, which is a most reasonable two hundred bucks for everything. It’s also a good transitional outfit from winter to spring. That is all. (Price of jeans estimated at $39.95)

Overalls: They’re Ba-aack!

Monday, March 1st, 2010

Free People 'Vintage 1' Overall $348 (*choke*)

Yeah they are, and not just from Free People either. Designers like Alexander Wang, See By Chloé, and 7 For All Mankind (just to name a few) have all hopped on the overall tractor, er…bandwagon. I’m 99% sure I have a pair not dissimilar to these, leftover from art school, at the bottom of a drawer somewhere. I also have a somewhat cleaner pair that I wore more than I’d like to admit during my pregnancy with Z. I guess what I’m not doing a very good job of saying, is that overalls have a place, I’m just not positive that it’s on a rack with a $350 price tag. She sure does makes them look cute though, but then again she’d look cute in a grill and a mullet. Tell the truth – are you on board…?

Weigh-In: Jeggings, Yay or Nay? (And Introducing…Veggings!)

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010

C&C California Stone Washed Jegging in 'Billie Jean' (WTF?) $128

My friend’s baby wears them, which with those little croissant legs never fails to slay me. I can’t honestly say that I’m a fan of the spraypaintyourjeanson look for my short legs own body type (pipe down), but had I been born with the above pictured gams? I could potentially be singing a different tune. You…? (Oh, and click here to behold the ‘Vegging,’ a.k.a. velvet + leggings. I’m trademarking it.)

Weigh-In: Are Bootcut The New Mom Jeans?

Friday, January 8th, 2010

J Brand 'Indigo' Bootcut Jeans $185

J Brand 'Indigo' Bootcut Jeans $185

I’ve been thinking about this for a while now, and it’s reeeaaally begun to weigh heavily on my mind. Not. I did however pose the question on Twitter the other night, “How do we feel about bootcut these days…?” and got an interesting and varied number of responses. No doubt skinnies have reigned supreme the last few seasons (and I’ll be the first to admit that I was late to the bandwagon due to my height and body type), but have they managed to obliterate bootcut for good? I have to say, that when I pull mine on and look in the mirror I think, “Over.” Then there’s a part of me that loves to wear them with my worn-in cowboy boots and a vintage blouse, à la Lori Maddox when she was nailing Jimmy Page and hanging at The Riot House…that’s mostly on the days when I let my hair go ‘curly.’ What do you think? Potential to become classics or just done? Go…!

Levi's 539 Organic Cotton Eco Vintage Jeans in 'Shadow' $39.99

Just a few of my faves for the dudes on your list! FYI for the seemingly randoms; the Noonon Polo is stupid soft cotton and an incredible fit. I bought one for J, I should have bought five. The jeans also have an amazing cut and wash, not to mention they’re eco, and for just forty bucks…?! I’m not a fan of ‘fashion’ sneakers (*shudder*), so keep it simple and classic with a sturdy pair of JPs. If you’re looking to splurge, do it on to-die-for cuff links he’ll adore, or a modern-classic Paul Smith wallet, because who doesn’t love Paul Smith?? (If you don’t, keep it to yourself.)

(Shout Out to the FTC: This post was not sponsored by any of the above vendors, nor did I receive a single item of swag.)

Real Life Fashion Series #001: D

Monday, November 9th, 2009

Further proof that just because you’re a mom, doesn’t mean you can’t be fashionable. (And without having to spend a lot of cash.) Exhibit #001: D. At home, on a Sunday afternoon, look cuter. (And yes my chic mommy friends, beware; this does in fact mean that you are now fodder for my website.) After telling her about seven times how much I was digging her outfit, D sweetly acquiesced and allowed me to take her photo…and grill her about her ensemble item by item (details below). Yet another opportunity to demonstrate that having kids isn’t synonymous with looking schlubby. Thanks D! xoxo

Banana Republic Heritage Ruffle-Collar Shirt $24.99, GAP Destructed Boyfriend Jeans $59.50, Bernardo ‘Dream’ Flats in ‘Pewter Glove’ $129, Coopersong ‘Hipster’ Eco-Tote in Black $55

(All other jewelry and accessories are either no longer available, or cannot be purchased online.)
