i love elizabeth & james, almost everything they do is amazing (and expensive). if you love this sweater  
then buy gap's version for almost $200 cheaper! 

this sweater, or one similar is great paired with almost anything. skinny jeans with riding boots or heels. pair it with a military style jacket or blazer.

back to work.


i apologize for being extremely blog negligent these days. there seems to be a lack of free time in my daily life, making fun fashion posts low on the totem pole of priorities. i hope to get back to work, back in the game of deals and fabulous finds!

here's a great top from the gap, i bought it myself. great with skinny's alone or under a blazer. on sale for $19.99. the off white is probably the best choice.

big plans?

okay, so i had some really big plans for the blog this summer. daily posts, lots of "i can find it cheaper" ideas, and on & on. i don't even have an exciting excuse (international travel, relocating for a new job, etc.), just the simple fact that while the summer is filled with "time" it's also filled with kids at home. all the time. at home.
so stay tuned because i have been banking all my ideas and can't wait to share! one of my latest finds...it might make some of you sick who bought these beauties full price. last fall/winter, elizabeth & james had these AMAZING boots that i fell in love with. they retailed for just under $400. this fall, steve madden went ahead and completely copied them (love it when they do that). you can find them at nordstrom, zappos or steve madden.

who doesn't want to be "always skinny"



i have searched high & low for the ultimate skinny jean. one that is flattering to all (including those of us who aren't perfectly long and lean). one that is not over $100. one that you can wear winter, spring, summer or fall. i think i may have found it. the 'always skinny jean' from GAP. it fit all my criteria and then some. they are comfortable, slimming, flattering, priced for all and easily found online or in retail stores.

wear 'em with a tank top or tee shirt in the summer and pair it with flip flops

or wear 'em with a dressier top and sandals.

Bretonnes Blouse


and always feel free to pair 'em heels and a blazer

outfit time.


here's an idea for an outfit that can take you from the park with the kids to running errands to a casual dinner and a movie for date night.

top options:


this dolman top from gap is $19.50. it is casual & comfortable, but has a sophisticated cut that makes it interesting. i like the green, dark blue or cream.
Staring at Stars Overdyed Henley Tunic

this henley from urban outfitters is $54. casual sophistication. i like the green, cream or dark blue.

               
these cropped skinny jeans from gap are flattering on all body types. if you read the reviews there are women of all shapes and sizes raving about them. if you are under 5' 5" or so get the cropped, if you are taller get the regular always skinny jeans. 


these cut-off bermudas are on sale for $29 at gap.




for shoes, any great basic sandal will do. a wedge works too!
Dolce Vita Strappy Ankle Wrap

you can find both of these at urban outfitters. above. below.

a new versatile trend is the wrapped bracelet. you can find them in several styles, fabrics and colors. the range in price from $5 to $300. here are some of my favorites. these are a perfect no-nonsense way to accessorize this summer.

Linea Pelle Double Wrap Studded Leather Braceletthese are linea pelle double wrap. they can be found at nordstrom, but are on sale at bloomingdales now.

UO Leather Wrap Bracelet urban outfitters does a great basic one, for $14 in various colors.






saving the best for last, this is my favorite, $38 at les morceaux.
