The Look for Less

As much as I love Fashion, I love fashion on a budget even more.

I wish I had an unlimted credit card for all of my many fashion "wants," but then I look at my bank account and have to think more realistically. Just because you don't have a lot to spend, doesn't mean it has to look that way. One thing I do quite often is look to see what the celebrities are wearing and re-create the looks for much less. You would be surprised how many similiar looking items there are out there.

This "Budget Friendly Look" is one of my favorite celebrity style icons:

Kim Kardashian.

Old Navy is sporting some really cute shoes for spring/summer! Here are some of my favorites :)

The best part is that they are all super cheap! Most of them (with the exception of the boots) are only priced from $15-$25!

The List

Items I have been drooling over the past month.

Jessica Simpson Dany Platform - Love Love LOVE!!! I think I might have to succumb and make this purchase pretty soon. I just can't resist.

Jeffery Campbell Xenon - Perfect Black Summer or Winter Wedge.

Topshop Lace Maxi Dress - I think maxi dresses can sometimes be too much fabric and overwhelm the body. This is the perfect dress for its form fitting top and sexy sheer lace inserts!

Ann-Sofie Back for Topshop Slash Dress - I honestly don't know what it is about this dresses that I love so much. I think this could be a good DIY project.

Chiffon Floral Print One Shoulder Arden B- This dress could be perfect for the beach or dressed up for a night out. Love the versatility in this dress.

D&G Coffret Sephora - This is a great little set from D&G. They are all supposed to be unisex but some are way more masculine or feminine than the others. I personally love the mens cologne smell and would wear it alone or layer it with a more feminine smelling one from the set such as #3 or #18.

I am anxiously awaiting for the warmer weather to arrive in New York. Please get here SOON!!!

The Start of Something New :)

Fashion Rule #1 - There Are NO Rules.

Welcome to my blog! I believe that fashion is one of the few ways we can artistically express our personalities, idiosyncrasies, and individualism to the world.

I have always had a love and passion for fashion but having recently lived in London for a few months, took on and gained a whole new outlook of fashion and the way we dress.

I'm moving to NYC in a few weeks and thought now would be the perfect time to start blogging! The future holds so many possibilities and with them, come even better outfits :)
