Texting Gloves - Would You?

2010-11-30T18:22:00.000-08:00

I hate having to pull off my mittens/gloves in order to text so I usually just send something that looks a little like this: Wha aer ouy doig tonigt+

So why didn't I think of these gloves?!

These keeps you warm but expose your thumb and forefinger, your main texters. With designers like Roxy and Juicy Couture, these will keep you fashionable as well.
Above, from left: Freehands Cashmere Gloves, $80; Roxy OMG Gloves, $22.

CSN

2010-10-20T14:38:00.000-07:00

I didn't realize, once again, it had been so long since I wrote something in this. I am one of those recent college grads that basically has a full-time job trying to find a full-time job - so help a sista out! But anyways, CSN has asked me to do another review and I'm SO excited. Obviously with their 200+ stores, how could you not find something to love?

I've been looking for a really great pair of fall/winter boots and I know Shoes Got Sole will definitely hold what I'm looking for. Stay tuned for a review for my latest purchase!
Along with shoes, mailboxes, fitness equipment... check out these end tables. My mom definitely has her eye on this.

Summer on Sale! $20 and under...

2010-08-05T08:31:00.000-07:00

We've still got a good month and a half, if not more, of quality sun shining down on us. But luckily, the fall clothes are on the racks and the summer clothes has been marked down. Here are some great finds for less than $20!

Rompers are hot for summer, and this one made by Roxy, regularly $43.99 is marked down to $19.97!

LOVE these cuffed capris! Only $19.97. Seriously ladies, check out Tillys!!

This bright skirt is a steal for only $9.97!

Dresses are all I wear in the summer. I love this one from Alloy. Ok, it's not under $20, but I love it, and I own it :)

Kathy Van Zeeland

2010-07-07T13:11:00.000-07:00

Courtesy of CSN stores, I had the chance to review this fabulous wristlet made by Kathy Van Zeeland, one of my all-time favorite hand-bag designers.

While I own several Kathy Van Zeeland bags, this was my first wristlet and I was a little nervous because I'm sort of picky about the size of them. I like them to be big enough to carry everything you need for a night out, but still be small enough to just dangle on your wrist. They also must close correctly or everything will fall out when it is just dangling there!

Like all Van Zeeland bags, this was suprisingly roomy for a wristlet and I loved it! My roommate immediately asked if she could borrow it after she saw me with it. I definitely recommend you check out more purses from Kathy on CSN where they go for much cheaper than QVC, Macy's, Dillard's....

CSN Stores!

2010-06-17T04:26:00.000-07:00

In the past I have teamed up with CSN Stores for a giveaway and now they're giving me a chance to review something from any of their 200+ stores. How amazing are they?! I definitely suggest you check out one or 10 of their great sites!

Keep checking out my blog for another giveaway for you as well!

So not only do they have 200+ online stores, the products in the stores are actually really fabulous! My last giveaway features ShoesGotSole.com but they have everything ranging from dog beds to headboards!

I chose to review a wristlet by Kathy Van Zeeland because I am in LOVE with her bags, so be on the lookout for that ladies. But in the meantime, check out CSN!

Flip-floppies for under $20!!

2010-06-04T17:51:00.000-07:00

Alright, I'm sure you've probably seen a post like this at the beginning of the warm weather, but now that it's in full force, get your feet seen in these gorgeous flip-flops/sandals!!

Tilly's is a favorite of mine for steals and deals - and these are different than everyday sandals I always see, with the added anklet. On sale for $16.99!

I LOVE GoJane.com - almost all their sandals are under $20! These are only $12.90 and come in 6 colors!!

I love the simplicity of these and at $5.99 and in 4 colors... I reeeeally love them!

LOVE these! Only $18.80

St. Patty's Inspiration

2010-03-18T20:59:00.000-07:00

I hope you all had a lovely St. Patrick's Day... one of my favorite holidays! Seeing all that green got me thinking, why is this color abandoned? I very rarely wear it and I love it.. plus it makes my green eyes pop! So in honor of the green grass, St. Pat's, and shamrock shakes... here are a few beautiful green items to add to your wardrobe - and they won't break your bank.

I have a thing for fancy back detail.. this kelly green dress is from delias.

The back on this tank is gorgeous and only $26!

LOVE this tube dress from Old Navy.

Shoes!! Cute and Cheap!

2010-03-09T08:30:00.000-08:00

I officially have a favorite new pair of jeans, er leggings. These are the comfiest things I have ever worn and yes, I do own sweatpants. Not only are they comfortable, make my butt look good, but I can wear them in public!! So I've heard of pajama jeans but these are the real deal. I may never own another jean again. Buy a pair here on the Frankie B. website.

I love them! Don't you? Check out their other styles and be sure to enter my giveaway that ends on Friday!

March, St Patrick's Day, and Bangle Giveaway!

2010-03-06T14:04:00.000-08:00

So I'm not going to lie, I'm really not a huge fan of wearing things around my wrist. I have had my fair share of watches, bracelets, wristlets, cuffs... and then I received an Alex and Ani bangle. My mind is officially changed, and guess what? You can have one too!

I am currently sporting the gorgeous "Crazy Love" bangle shown below (mine is in Russian Gold) and have received so many compliments.

I love Alex and Ani but what really got me was the little note that was sent along with the bracelet and the cute box it came in (I'll have to update with pictures when I finally get home in a few days). Check out their gorgeous jewelry and "bangle bar" where you can make your own customized bangles!

Want more? In celebration of March, Spring, and St. Patrick's Day (one of my favorite days) - Alex and Ani is giving one of my readers a bangle of their own.

The finish you will be receiving is in Silver. Hurry and enter, this giveaway is over in less than a week on March 12th!

How to win? One entry (mandatory) for posting a comment after visiting the ALex and Ani website letting me know your favorite piece from them!

5 under 20... Heavenly Couture

2010-01-19T16:21:00.000-08:00

I LOVE finding new places where there are cheap clothes. I just discovered a place where EVERYTHING is under $20, actually under $18! Here are a few of my favorites. Check out Heavenly Couture.

This is great for work, class, or even a date. At $12, any of us could afford this!

I love pink. I love cardigans. ANOTHER $12 top.
This cute little "cardigan dress" is only $12! What a great deal and also available in mocha!

H&M

2010-01-10T13:45:00.000-08:00

I LOVE H&M... it's probably one of the stores I'm at most frequently and spending all of my money at but then I just read this and it makes me really sad. I hope all places don't do this?!

Apparently bags of shredded clothing are being found in the garbage behind stores. They're either cut up or have holes punched in them as well as shoes that have been mutilated. This makes me really upset because a) I love clothes, why would you do this to them?! but most importantly b) we're in the toughest economic times ever and bags upon bags of clothing are just being thrown out and destroyed to make sure no one wears them? What's the point of this and why aren't they being sent to charities or even my loving hands?! :)

sales!

2010-01-04T16:31:00.000-08:00

While I would love to say that my new years resolution would be so not be so MIA, my schedule just got even busier but I promise to try and update more often!

So I'm sure you all went to the after-christmas sales and scored some great new items (or found them under the tree) but the sales are still happening for the new year! Here are some of my favorite picks for year-end sales of brands that I always promote.. if only they knew and would hire me :)

Secret Santa

2009-12-17T15:07:00.000-08:00

I signed up for a Secret Santa through a blog this year and am very grateful to have had a chance to be part of it and for Amy and Georgie for setting up over 100 people! I didn't think I was going to be able to be part of it, I lost my job and am so so broke but I managed to come up with something and I hope my person likes it! (It's tough shopping for someone you don't know!!)

I got the box on the perfect day, my finals were done and I just got home to relax and saw the box on the steps. Not going to lie, my coat wasn't even off when I ripped through that tape. Thank you Secret Santa :)

Sorry about the quality - my camera took a turn for the worst over the summer and I've had no money to replace it... you'd think a blackberry would produce better pictures!

(Scarf, body cream, bracelet)

Baby it's cold outside...

2009-12-13T09:12:00.000-08:00

I love sweaters, boots, hats and mittens.. until I have to step outside in them!! Here's some of the cutest cold weather apparel I've come across to make winter weather a little less frightful! :)

I love berets this year - especially the look of this one with sequins and a knit overlay.

5 under 20 - Alloy

2009-12-03T14:49:00.000-08:00

I haven't done a real relevant post in quite some time and I apologize. I also haven't done a "5 under" either and with budgeting for the holidays I figured it was the perfect time!

Alloy used to be one of my favorite catalogs in high school and then I just kind of forgot about it. I recently received a catalog in the mail at my parents and was browsing through it and they actually have a lot of things I would definitely wear - and cheap to boot!

I love love love cardigans. Especially the trendy boyfriend style cardigans that you can pair with all those summer tanks you can't bear to put away for the winter! Wear this either with jeans or a dress - it works for most everything!

This top is super cheap and available in 19 different colors!!
I'm a sucker for a good deal.. especially when it comes to heels. Which is exactly why I bought these for only $14.99!!
I really love berets this year for winter. I already have 7 of them! I won't be purchasing this one since it hasn't even snowed yet and I had an abundance of them, but you should!

Giveaway!

2009-12-02T08:16:00.000-08:00

I always mention Fantabulously Frugal in my posts - well go take a look a this fabulous giveaway that you can enter everyday!!

Secret santa gift ideas

2009-11-28T13:52:00.000-08:00

Confession: I've had a really rough month and just completely forgot about the Secret Santa thing. What are some things that you guys have been wanting? I need some ideas.. quick! What do you hope your SSS will be sending you? :)

Going over my posts I realize my person probably doesn't know much about me.. here we go. I'm Tiffani and a senior at FIDM. I'm a visual communications major with hopes of someday being a stylist for the stars. I'm originally from Michigan and here for the holidays so that's where I ask you to send my package :)

I know it sounds lame but fashion is my passion. My love for it tends to distract me from my everyday mundane life so I decided to create this blog so I could have a little bit more of my love in my life everyday (and I'm sorry I haven't kept up with this like the beginning!). My hope with this was to help all of you to be able to afford the things that stars are wearing and look just like them, because believe me, it's possible! I guess that doesn't really help but it's a bit of my background.. just know I love everything and the better question would be what am I not interested in!

“Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.” -Oscar Wilde

Thanksgiving

2009-11-26T10:41:00.000-08:00

Quick post but happy thanksgiving everyone and best of luck on black friday!!!

Decisions, decisions...

2009-11-23T14:57:00.000-08:00

So I got my acceptance to Rent the Runway.. help me choose what dress to pick for New Years!!

Giveaways!

2009-11-16T18:16:00.000-08:00

I won my first giveaways! They don't have to do with fashion or anything but I'm still so excited since I'm also a big fan of decorating. I won this gorgeous Thomas Paul Brocade Pillow from Creative Home Expressions and AllModern.com. My living room is full of browns and blues so it looked great! I broke my camera I'm sorry :( I can't show off how good it looks!Later that week I was also notified of winning a giftcard to Lowe's from Attractive Home Design for Less. How lucky am I?! I just received it today so I have yet to use it but I'm thinking I need a change.. my paint my bedroom? It's white but I want some color in my life, maybe pink!!

Greatest Idea EVER?

2009-11-11T22:53:00.001-08:00

So I've heard of renting bags and having to return them in a week or what not, but honestly, I like to keep my bags so that idea wasn't the greatest BUT now there is a dress rental site. I was one of those girls in high school that always fell in love with the most expensive prom dresses, homecoming dresses, etc and I wish this site would've been around 16, maybe then I wouldn't be like Katherine Heigl of 27 Dresses... even now I have a closet full of dresses for events and weddings that I'm quite sure I'll never wear again - but now I'll never have to worry again!

Why you ask? RentTheRunway.com allows you to rent that latest catwalk dress you've been eyeing but know you can't afford. Prices range from $50-200 and the dress comes delivered to your door in not one but two sizes just in case! I know I'm not the richest girl out there, but I will certainly be looking like I am now. Hallelujah RTR!

Think I can pull this off at a frat party?

Swagbucks

2009-11-10T15:22:00.000-08:00

Get extra points for shopping online and referring people. Click the link below and help me get more points as well!

One Pearl

2009-11-04T13:44:00.001-08:00

I'm a big fan of pearls and I just recently found my new favorite place to buy them - One Pearl. I was just sent the most fabulous necklace/whatever you want it to be and I'm in love. Not only is the jewelry gorgeous, but they donate 100% of their profits to help improve the lives of children. Look good and help out some kids while you're at it - try getting your significant other to say no to that one. Check out the necklace I now have a privilege of owning... and pretty much wearing everywhere.

You can also wear this piece as a choker, a cuff, a layered look, a belt, looped around your neck... so many possibilities. Check out the site for more beautiful designs. If you're getting married soon, I definitely recommend!

November?!

2009-11-01T17:23:00.000-08:00

So sorry I haven't been posting, life is crazy at the moment! I have some more product reviews to do so stay tuned - OH, and I won a giveaway which I will post about as well! :)

I'll do a real quick post that I heard about this weekend. By the way, how were your weekends?!

So I'm getting super excited for the Jimmy Choo line at H&M but have you heard about Rodarte for Target?!
The new line will be very limited edition only available from December 20th-February 6th so mark your calenders! It'll have 55-pieces ranging in prices from $9.99 to $79.99. I'm loving all these big name collaborations! Save your Christmas money and get yourself one of these hot pieces!

Suburban Riot

2009-10-19T21:29:00.000-07:00

You know that I love eco-friendly brands and after reading about the company, Suburban Riot and seeing this.."We’re constantly sourcing sustainable materials, from organic cotton, to recycled polymer based materials. We don’t do it because green is in. We do it so your kids aren’t born with three arms and a tail." ... I was hooked and took a look around. Did you know they design tees for the show "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia"?! Go to their site, buy some clothes and also help out the planet - they donate 1% of all sales to the planet.
When choosing this top, I didn't even notice it had their signature asymmetrical v-neck, but I love it! I wore this today to class and several people asked me who designed it - so unique! It's also 100% organic cotton and SO soft.
I also love this Black Turtleneck Mini - so simple but definitely a staple that needs to be in every closet! It's also over 50% off... only $39.99!

She's offering up a special 20% off to my readers so make sure to enter "tiffanis" at checkout!

My top - but pictures don't do it justice nor can you feel how soft it is!! Only $25!

Stay tuned and I'll post the winner of the giveaway tomorrow! :)

Oh Lauren

2009-10-15T11:11:00.000-07:00

I've really been slacking lately with this and I apologize - I'm currently on a study tour and extremely busy and sometimes don't have internet access. I just had to first of all tell you guys my giveaway ends tomorrow!!!!! Go!!! Secondly, you should know by now how much I adore Lauren Conrad, she was one of the reasons I chose FIDM, hoping I would have her in my classes and become her best friend... sad but true haha. So when I heard about her line at Kohl's to fit all budgets, I was super excited... and now it's been unveiled, and I must say, I'm disappointed.

When first visiting the site and seeing her pretty face and cute outfit, I was like, YES! Then you click onto the designs... was I just transferred onto a Talbot's or a site for someone 45 and over? I was confused, everything is boring! They're just plain basics that I could find anywhere for probably cheaper.. Obviously she didn't spend enough time at FIDM.. come back here girl and I'll show you the light!

And where's the "party" dresses she promised?! This might be cute but really, $50? Yuck.

I really had faith Lauren but I just cannot buy any of this. I will try Whitney's line.. next see maybe what Stephanie has to offer, but this stuff is just not ok... try a different line of work.

Rain Tees

2009-10-01T12:08:00.000-07:00

I love eco friendly brands and Andira Rain Tees, designed by Beth Doane, are 100% organic and designed by children living in endangered rain forests in Central and South America. They donated supplies to the children and had them draw what they see happening in their world everyday. When you buy a Rain tee, a tree in Costa Rica will be planted to replace the trees that are being destroyed daily.

One thing I love about this brand (besides helping the environment) is how every tee has a story. The shirt that I have says this:

" TOUCAN - A signature Rain Tee illustrated by Rene Gillermo of Tena, Ecuador. Amazon toucans live in small flocks and are very playful birds that have courtship displays where both male and female birds throw berries at each other or play catch by tossing the berries to each other with their beaks. How’s that for a 'play date'? Sadly, these birds are highly endangered and more than 11 million are smuggled illegally from the Amazon every year and sold to collectors in the USA and abroad. More than 70% die in the horrible conditions of transit."

Check out this amazing company and buy a tee - help save the rain forest!

OH, and don't forget to enter my first giveaway!

dangerously beautiful giveaway

2009-10-01T11:42:00.000-07:00

I love Karmaloop.com because they have introduced me to so many brands I have never heard of before, Dangerously Beautiful being one of them. This is a Florida-based brand and their mission is to be able to let women express themselves through their clothing while not having to look like Barbie. I had the chance of trying out some of these vibrant tees recently and fell even more in love with the brand. Not only are the colors bold, bright, and beautiful... they have an amazing fit, great quality and I love the designs on the shirts. If you're a size medium like me, you're in luck because I'm going to be giving away one of the tees that Dangerously Beautiful thoughtfully let me try! I might even throw in some other goodies from my sponsors if the response is good.. so tell your friends! The contest will end 2 weeks from now on October 16th.

1) One entry for commenting on this post letting me know which tee you want and why.
2) Another for subscribing or letting me know you're a follower.
3) Third for posting about this giveaway.
4) Another entry for referring someone here... just tell them to put your name in the post!

Remember, I only have size medium as an option, sorry! If this isn't your size still enter for other goodies I may throw in there (Breakfast at Tiffany's inspired earplugs, Bath and Body Works products, etc) and give the tee to a friend!

Here are your options:

Charlotte Russe or L.A.M.B.?

2009-09-29T18:12:00.000-07:00

So not only is my obsession with shoes becoming more apparent to me but also finding look-a-likes for waaaay cheaper than my favorite designers. Charlotte Russe is having a huge sale right now so I went in there the other day and find these designer look-a-likes! Can you figure out which is the $356 pair (on sale) and which is the under $30?! Probably, but still, a girl has to pay rent!

AO3 Designs

2009-09-28T15:51:00.001-07:00

I'm new to etsy and was thoroughly impressed after looking over a few sites and finding AO3 Designs. Angela makes originals handbags, purses, and clutches and you can even customize your own. She also specializes in bridal clutches if you're looking for a unique bridesmaid gift. I own an Alexis clutch and have gotten so many compliments but she also has many other styles that I love. Check out her etsy shop or website!!

Cardboard Robot

2009-09-28T00:00:00.000-07:00

When first visiting this site I thought that the clothing wouldn't be my style and my mom was a little freaked out when I sported a "Bloodmania" shirt, but I absolutely love the clothing they have. When receiving the shirts, I actually checked what fabric they were made out of because they felt so soft and high-quality! (100% cotton!)

Usually smalls are too tight on me and mediums are too big, but these shirts felt like they were made for me and fit perfectly. My favorite was this shirt:Cardboard Robot is a group of self-acclaimed misfits, dorks, geeks, and rejects. They're a unique brand that also makes recyclable furniture, short art films, and limited edition posters. They do all this while addressing important issues like poverty-stricken neighborhoods and corporate takeovers.

Jimmy Choo = Affordable?!

2009-09-27T20:08:00.000-07:00

Once again, another shoe post.. and I may be behind on the times since this was announced in the summer but I just heard of it and am ECSTATIC. On November 14th, less than 2 months away, Jimmy Choo will be launching a collection of shoes and bags to about 250 H&M stores worldwide. I will be there right when the store opens its doors!! I've also heard there will be a clothing line to go with the accessories but I'm not sure about that launch date. And if you're worried about your guys' look, there will be shoes and accessories for them as well!! Here are some pictures of the collection:

Doie Designs

2009-09-25T23:53:00.000-07:00

I've already mentioned Doie Designs before and I just can't say enough good things about this company and the designer Sara. I just got my hands on the Melrose Dress from the Los Angeles collection and I love it! Not only do I feel like the dress was made just for me but you can tell it's of high quality and the fact that it's made of organic materials gives it even more points. I have it in black and now that it's getting colder I plan on wearing it with leggings or some thick tights. Did I mention this is half-off as well?! Go to her site now!!

Got a $20? - Go Jane

2009-09-24T11:41:00.000-07:00

So sorry I haven't been posting, I've been extremely busy lately, but expect lots of reviews soon!!

Gojane.com is one of my favorite places to find bargains on the cutest things, especially SHOES!! They have been introducing a lot of new things basically everyday so make sure to check the site often. It was really hard for me to do this post and pick only a few things and also to not spend my paycheck, but here's some of my favorite things under $20 from the site.

First up, slouchy suede boots. Boots are expensive and I have the hardest time not blowing my money on them but Go Jane always have the cheapest AND cutest boots. These bad babies are only $15.99 and come in 10 colors!!

Zippers are hot this fall, as are headbands - so why not combine the two?! This headband is only... $1.60!!!! What a steal!! (Also in multiple colors)

Have you ever tried to buy cowboy boots? They are crazy expensive! Luckily, gojane.com has several options but this pair was my favorite AND under $20!! I can't wait to pair these with a dress and look like Taylor Swift! :)

Ok so maybe it's getting a little chilly out but I had to share this steal -this button trim dress is only $9!!! Slip a little sweater over it and you're set! Or save it for spring break, which I'm already counting down for!!

I told you in the beginning of this that I loved Go Jane for their shoes.. so that's my explanation for ANOTHER pair of shoes being on this list.. and yea, it's another pair of boots.. these look super warm and comfy! Not in an area where you need to keep your feet warm? Gojane.com is having a sandal sale and they have hands-down the best selection of pretty and affordable sandals.

Green Diva Jewelry

2009-09-22T11:15:00.000-07:00

Before reading about Green Diva jewelry and their mission to make a positive impact on the environment, I had no idea just how jewelry hurt the environment. Go to their website and find out more about how our favorite accessories are hurting our home.

I contacted Green Diva at the right time apparently because they're transitioning into launching a high-end, luxury eco-conscious formal and bridal jewelry line and having major sales of their fashion lines. Starting today, 9/22, for only 2 days, they are having are HUGE steal of their Manitou Springs necklace. 45% off!!!!! There's only 10 pieces left so act quick!!

Check out their site often for more liquidation sales or email me at BreakfastTiffanis@gmail.com for the full sale schedule!

Jillie Willie

2009-09-21T18:45:00.000-07:00

When first going on the Jillie Willie website, I wasn't looking for aprons but had seen an ad for her scarfs to wear in your hair. As I continued to browse the site, I was very impressed by the number of products offered and the cute styles featured. Then I contacted her and was even more impressed!

Jill Grover has amazing designs and a wonderful personality to boot and I fully recommend visiting the site. I now own her apron style, Baby Doll, which is a sheer floral fabric with pink ties. I've never been much of a cook, but after receiving this I got down to business! It even has a cell phone holder to keep you in touch with the world while cooking. Also check out this mop slippers.. clean your floor while just walking around!

Look for less!

2009-09-20T11:09:00.000-07:00

Check out this pretty and sophisticated dress from revolveclothing.com that can be worn for all sorts of occasions.. the only problem? It's $325. If you have that kind of money to spend, go for it, I love this dress.. but check out a much cheaper version from Lulu's for all you broke college students like me! Only $33!!!

Can you even tell which is the more expensive one? (Hint: The one on the top!)

Lauren Elaine Designs

2009-09-18T20:29:00.000-07:00

I actually discovered Lauren Elaine Designs through another blog that had mentioned a giveaway, but once I started to look at her designs, I fell in love.

Fashion Week - Spring 2010 Preview

2009-09-14T06:53:00.000-07:00

Ok so I'm not in New York but I've been looking at the new Spring 2010 collections online and I'm excited for April already!!

Derek Lam: He had a lot of fun, bold colors and also lots of florals which I LOVE!

Lela Rose: She had a lot of dresses, which are my favorite for spring and summer and they were all in pretty "beachy colors" like coral, sea-green, and teal.

Vivienne Tam: An array of neutrals AND bold colors, they seemed to be very bohemian and hippie-ish.. but still very feminine. I wasn't a huge fan of all the butterfly prints though.

These weren't my favorites, but just some that caught my eye... Who were your favorite designers?

VMAS

2009-09-14T05:01:00.000-07:00

So I don't have internet access right now and am posting from my blackberry, but did anyone catch the MTV Video Music Awards tonight? First off, kudos to Beyonce for being a very classy lady! But secondly, did you catch Pink and Shakira wearing the same Balmine dress on the red carpet?! Who do you think wore it best?

Longer post tomorrow about VMA fashion AND fashion week!

5 things - Charlotte Russe

2009-09-12T22:04:00.000-07:00

Originally I first posted 5 things under 15 but now I've come to see that's a little bit tricky... so how about 5 things under $20?! We'll go with Charlotte Russe since I was just there yesterday and practically wanted to buy the whole dang place.

1) I bought this actually and have it on today with leggings and flip-flops. Simple and cute! The top is only $16.99.

2.) I love when things are already layered for me! I do not love when you can totally tell. This you can't AT ALL. It's $19.99 for the solid top and vest.

3) Some might say I have too many tops... but that's not a bad thing. Another pretty top you can wear out on the town or to class! On sale for $11.19!

4) Ok so I didn't fall in love with this immediately but I really needed some new clothes for my study tour so I tried it on.. and I loved it! Another item on sale for only $16.09.

5) And last but not least, you need something to go under the clothes! This pretty bra is only $7! Get a pair of panties and $3 and you're still under 20!

I love my new earplugs that block out the city traffic while looking fabulous! Now does anyone know where to get the eyemask?!

Characters Closets I Want To Steal

2009-09-09T09:13:00.000-07:00

Breakfast at Tiffani's - the name of my blog... obviously a big fan of Audrey Hepburn and the movie. So watching it last night, I got the inspiration for this post.. and in no particular order is the top ten movie and television characters styles I want to steal.

1.) Breakfast At Tiffany's - Classic is the first word that comes to mind when I think of this movie. This is in regards to the fashion and the movie. The little black dress can be credited from this film, so it has to be in this list.

2.) The Notebook - This is also filled with very feminine and classic looks that I love.

3.) Gossip Girl - It's on tv, but how can you not include this?! I've already posted about Blair's style a few times.. but all of the girls have looks to kill for.

4.) Sex And The City - Both the movie and the tv show! Another one you HAVE to mention. The shoes alone I'd do anything for!

5.) 500 Days of Summer - I went to see this movie because I love Zooey Deschanel... but I ended up loving her look in this movie even more!

6.) The Devil Wears Prada - Love love love every style in this movie. Can I please be Anne Hathaway?

7.) Marie Antoinette - When I was little I used to love poodle skirts and wished I grew up in the 50s... well now that I'm older.. I wish I grew up in the days of tall hair and hoop skirts. Let me in that costume closet and I'd be in heaven.

8.) Clueless - I was younger when this movie came out and I was even Cher for Halloween one year.. yes, I know it's embarrassing.. I still knew she was a style icon though! Not that I'd wear her stuff today..

9.) Confessions of A Shopaholic - The girl goes in debt from shopping too much, obviously she's going to have a closet to die for.

Ok, so not quite the top 10.... who should be last???

LBD

2009-09-08T11:40:00.000-07:00

With fall coming, you're going to need more layers on but don't put away that little black dress of yours just yet. Using just a simple black strapless dress, you can do tons. This one from Forever21 is only $22.80 and you can create over 5 different looks with it.

1) The first look is for daytime, just adding a crop jacket. I liked this one, also from Forever21. Add some over the knee boots and it's a cute outfit you can even wear to work. (Boots from

Victorias secret, click on links)

2) The next look is just for a night out - add a flashy belt and heels (both from steve madden) and voila!

3) For a third look, a chunky sweater, wide belt, and metallic flats which are very hot right now - you can wear this look just about anywhere. The flats are on the pricier side, found at Nordstrom's, but I LOVE them!

4) The 4th option is another going out/date look where a big statement necklace makes your outfit. Pair with your favorite color heels and steal the show.

5) And the last, but definitely not least way to dress up your LBD is with a yellow blazer - Blair Waldorf style. Add some laceup oxfords for a preppy twist to the LBD. Have fun with it girls!

Von Maur

2009-09-06T21:38:00.000-07:00

Santa Monica

2009-09-03T06:00:00.000-07:00

I was shopping in Santa Monica yesterday and wanted to share my latest summer sale finds. You can find these at stores near you as well!

Pink ice is one of my favorite stops for cheap basics. I mentioned them in a previous post as well for cheap tanks, but here I just got a cheap cardigan! The one I picked up is 3/4 length sleeve, but they have long sleeves as well.

Only $12.99!

Another favorite store, Urban Outfitters was having a summer sale, and I got this cute top for only $29.99, usually $50!

While I'm not sure where Mango is located across the country, they do have a website to shop their cute clothes. I need to stop buying summery clothes so I picked up a fall-ish dress to wear with tights! What do you think?

Tell me about any great finds you've had success with!

We finally have a first look at Lauren Conrad's new line for Kohl's, thanks to the September issue of Shape magazine. I think it looks pretty cute and would probably pick up a few things, they're cheap! This line comes out in October for those interested. They range in price from $20-60. Pick up the shape issue for tips from Lauren and more sneak peeks.

5 things under $15: Forever 21

2009-09-01T11:44:00.000-07:00

This is a new blog and I was trying to think of a regular post I could do.. and with everyone in an economic crunch - 5 things under 20 bucks sounded good to me! In other words, revamp your closet with less than $75. First store I'm starting with, the cheap but trendy Forever21 which you can find across the country and online.

1) Leggings are still in this fall.. so why not get them for under $5?! I even paid more for these things at Target!

Fab Leggings - $4.50

2) Flats are another must have for fall but they can be expensive depending on where you buy them at. These bad babies are less than $10.

Gingham Check Fla ts - $8.50 (Other colors as well)

3) This look was especially hot for summer - pair it with a cardigan and flats. Add some leggings. You have a cute fall look!

Colorblock Tank Dress- $14.50

4) Scarves! Still cute for an added burst of color for your basic tees.

Fab Colorful Weaved Scarf - $6.50

5) Sheer shirts! Hot hot hot!

Fab Burnout Top - $9.50

Cowboy Boots

2009-09-01T09:45:00.000-07:00

One person commented about the plaid shirts, "that she didn't want to look like a farmer." Now that's exactly how I first felt about cowboy boots. There's so many cute ways you can wear them though, read on!

The most girly way I've seen is of course with a dress, a la Taylor Swift.

She pairs her boots with cute summery dresses, but with fall coming up you can still steal this style with leggings. A big trend is thick, patterned leggings that you can wea

r even in the winter! I have found them at H&M, but if you like to shop online, stockingirl.com has a GREAT selection. I like this look with simple boots, either a bright dress or leggings, and a cardigan.

Just remember Taylor Swift is a country star and can pull this look off daily and we common folk should just wear them every once in awhile. To avoid looking over-the-top, unless you're going to a country concert, then don't pair these with daisy dukes or the plaid shirts in the previous post, or you will look like you just got off the farm.

The most classic cowboy boot look is under jeans. This is very easy to wear, but I suggest jeans with more of a flare so your calves don't look bulky because of the thickness at the top of the boot.

You can also wear those new denim leggings or bust out your skinny jeans and wear the boots over the jeans. Again, don't wear plaid or big belts to tone-down the farmer look. Try to pair with something a little more edgier.

Now where to buy these cute boots without breaking the bank? (Click the link)

Cali

2009-08-31T08:28:00.000-07:00

If you're from California, stop at Pink Ice or go online and get some of their great basics for fall layering. Most are under $10!

Trim Lace Cami $7.99

Plaid Shirts

2009-08-31T07:50:00.000-07:00

I'm a big fan of the plaid/flannel shirt look. If you layer it over a fitted tank/tee, your favorite pair of jeans, and high-heeled boots - you can get a grunge meets girly look. Some even have frills on them for a more girly look. OH, and you can basically find these shirts EVERYWHERE.

Lindsay Plaid Tunic - Alloy $29.90

Snap Front Buffalo Tunic - Wet Seal $17.70

Shrunken Flannel Shirt - AE $39.50

Kimchi Buttonfront Tunic - Urban Outfitters $58

Elisa Plaid Shirt - Delias $39.50

Fall Fashion

2009-08-31T07:22:00.000-07:00

Shopping the other day for my birthday dress, I took notice at the latest fall fashion: Denim Leggings.

This is something I'm sure people will either love or hate, just like regular leggings, but to me, I see one positive, they fit in your zip-up boots!

I found denim leggings in stores ranging from Hot Topic to Neiman Marcus. I'm not sure how long this trend will last so I wouldn't go buy a pair of $100 leggings, but here's a nice dark wash for $16.99.

Fellow FIDM student Lauren Conrad and Hills star has a major eye for fashion. And her look is simple.

You can find a cheaper tank, but this matched pretty good. And basically any dark wash skinny jeans. Hat from topshop.com. As for the shoes, of course those are going to be expensive if you want exact...

Gossip Girl Fashion

2009-08-27T10:32:00.000-07:00

I'm absolutely in love with the looks of the Gossip Girl characters. I only watch to see the clothes! Now you can steal their style!

Blair has a preppy and classic look and is never seen in pants. She always looks like she stepped out of a magazine with freshly washed hair and ironed clothes. She has an amazing fashion sense that is chic and girly at the same time. One of my favorite things she wears though isn't on her body but her head - headbands. She has hundreds of them!

I guess we're talking about her style though. Get her look for less:

Pretty bow headband from Forever 21 only $4.80.

Another look that the celebrities love.. that doesn't come cheap, is a Marc Jacob dress, $458.

This dress, from Herve Leger, sells for over $1,000, but can be yours for just over $100!

C-String?!

2009-08-27T08:56:00.000-07:00

While this isn't exactly "fashion" related, it does go under what you're wearing.. I'm just really confused by this.

A C-String. The latest craze?

It's like a pantyliner.. without panties. They say it's so their is no panty line.. tan lines, etc... but wasn't that what the thong was for? I think I would be scared to wear a skirt and have my C-string drop to the ground at work.. this is a trend I will NOT be trying.

Now girls, please don't walk out of your house confusing this for a headband...
