LBDs @ $30 or Less

Ever since Audrey Hepburn and Givenchy, the LBD (little black dress) has been a staple in every fashionista's wardrobe. I thought I'd feature some really affordable ones here. Wear them to a party and make them more unique with funky, bold accessories.
This fun, twenties-style dress from Target would look adorable with some long pearls and colorful shoes, like the gorgeous, lickable Jeffrey Campbell yellow heels a few posts ago (which I'm now saving up for). $19.99. This LBD is relatively casual. It's just beckoning for some colorful chunky bangles to layer over the sleeves. Make it even funkier by layering over a bright turlteneck or adding fluorescent tights. $29.99.This would be an adorable dress to wear to a New Year's Eve party. Funk it up with bright dangly earrings and patterned flats. $29.99.Last but certainly not least is my favorite of the bunch. It's so playful and young. The neckline is perfect for a great nacklace, and it would look fantastic with some cute platforms or even some sparkly flats. Throw in a dainty but eye-catching clutch, and you're ready for anything, from a birthday party to a school dance. $29.99.

TV Character Fashion: Amanda on Ugly Betty


So, there's a show on the TV Guide Channel called TV Candy, where people try to dress like certain TV characters. Who would I like to dress like? Becki Newton as Amanda on Ugly Betty, one of my favorite shows.

Urban Outfitters

Urban Outfitters is the Fashionista's heaven. The price range is so strange, yet amazing and unexpected. Brousing the site tonight, I came across some items I'd kill to have living in my closet.I absolutely adore kitten heels. I think they are so comfortable and casually chic, so of course I love this black pair.
This dress reminds me of the 1920s or 30s. It's casual and flowy and looks incredibly comfortable, especially for a party or school dance.
These pants are insanely wide, a la the great Katharine Hepburn. These days, it's either really skinny or uber-wide.
I love turtlenecks. There's just something so cozy and classic about them. I love the color of this one, and it looks incredible with those great boots.
When I caught sight of this yellow pair of shoes, my heart skipped a beat, my stomach suddenly filled with butterflies, and I began salivating like a dog. Like chocolate, one can never have too many shoes, especially creamy yellow ones that look like lemon candy. I just want to lick them. Too bad they're almost $100.


I've been dying for a sequined blazer ever since I saw the always ethereal Cate Blanchett wearing a gorgeous green one in Premiere. This is the closest I've gotten. But I love vests, so I'll settle.

December Again



These are some of the cutest flats ever. And for $14.99 on the Urban Outfitters site, I just might buy them.

Ah... It's nice to take a break from studying for finals and completing last-minute assignments to bask in some online window-shopping. Everyone should try it.

It's December again, but my mouth still tastes like Thankgiving.

Ta-Ta. PS: Melrose should have won Top Model!
