The Real Deal: Kate Spade Mariella Dress
Vertical, horizontal, or zigging and zagging, stripes are an in style print year round and year after year. Prep-staple Kate Spade always delivers on striped staples and manages to keep the pattern current at the same time. Unfortunately, the current cost of a Kate Spade striper is more than I want to pay for the [...]

The Real Deal: J.Crew Collection Maxi Dress
This year’s J.Crew Spring style preview had a lot of stunners, but the Collection Silk Maxi dress was the breakout star for me. Simple and show-stopping…..and expensive. Feel free to drop a car payment on a dress if you want, but if not, here’s another option from the always reliable ASOS to get the breezy, [...]

The Real Deal: Leather Maxi Dress
Oh man….this one is a doozy. Last Fall, I fell head over heels in love with Marna Ro’s leather+crepe maxi dress when I saw it on the lovely Blair Eadie of Atlantic-Pacific. I mean, come on, it’s too perfect… A simple-looking maxi that’s actually deceptively glamourous. I had to have it….but not for the almost [...]

The Real Deal: Iwona Ludyga Bracelet
Say, think, exclaim whatever you want about Kristen Stewart, but she’s got one amazing stylist. More often than not her red carpet looks are a slam dunk from head to toe. In the past few months she’s been seen in Erdem, Elie Saab, Talbot Runhof, Zuhair Murad, Christian Dior, and Louis Vuitton. You know, just to name [...]

The Real Deal: Paige Denim Leather Leggings
Another weekend behind us, a new week ahead. And what better way to start off this crisp, Fall week than with a brand new, equally crisp, Real Deal. Unless you’ve been hiding in a an unfashionable closet, you know that leather is incredibly popular this season. Falling into view with the typical Fall trends of rich textures [...]

The Real Deal: A Little Leather
I am absolutely loving all the leather looks I’ve been seeing this Fall season. But, I have to admit, I’m a little apprehensive to try the trend myself. That’s why I’ve been leaning toward leather accent pieces. Like leather patchwork on a skirt or leather piping on a jacket. So, while I was product surfing [...]

Update! Update! Read All About It!
On Monday, I posted about a Real Deal on Valentino’s Rock Stud pumps. Now, I don’t want to overshadow the stylish Lola Cruz pumps, but I’ve found an even better Deal that I just had to share. Thanks to a tweeted tip from the lovely Megan Elliot at Lush to Blush, I found my way to [...]

The Real Deal: Valentino Rock Stud Heels
If I had to make a list of to-die-for shoes this Fall season, the Valentino Rock Stud heels would be near the top. I can hardly cope with the chic-ness…or the price. Yes, unfortunately, these studded stunners will set you back anywhere from $900 to $1300. And no, I didn’t leave out any decimal points. [...]

The Real Deal: J.Crew Sweater
A few weeks ago, I received the J.Crew Fall preview and fell in love. Every single page was prep perfection. Price perfection? Not quite. The styling and quality of J.Crew is hard to match but I’d be lying if I said I buy anything from that store at full price. If I do, it’s rare. [...]

The Real Deal: Pour La Victoire ‘Mai’ Wedge
One shoe I’ve had my eye on for some time is the ‘Mai’ wedge from Pour La Victoire. Of course, having my eye on something is not the same as buying. The very attractive Mai has a rather unattractive price tag. For Annieb, 205.00 is a good portion of an honest day’s work. Enter Forever21. [...]
