Thrifty Threads: What I Wore to Fashion Week

What I wore to fashion week, Loehmann's
I had a general idea of what I would wear during Fashion Week. When I know I have a lot of running around to do and when the temps are in the teens, I usually stick with my trusty skinny jeans and a few statement pieces. So I went for a mixture of new threads {studded top and neon and animal print shoes} from Loehmann’s and some thrifted add-ons, like my Hudson jeans from the Housing Works Buy the Bag sale and vintage clip-on earrings.
But then the dilemma moved to what to wear over my outfit? A blah coat can totally ruin any look, but I knew exactly what I could rock for a standout style.

What’s In Store: Kohl’s Spring Look Book

{LC Lauren Conrad for Kohl’s polka dot dress, $60}
During my last Today Show appearance, I had a ton of people asking what I wore. The LC Lauren Conrad for Kohl’s metallic brocade shorts were an absolute hit. Since then I’ve been on a serious Kohl’s kick and had to check out what they have in store for spring.
Naturally I gravitated toward the Lauren Conrad line, which has a youthful, casual chic feel to it. And the spring offerings are no different, with pieces ranging from polka dot print dresses and jeans to flowy frocks. Everything in the line is perfect for a day of brunch and errands or a night out with your girls.

Why I’m Excited Over Prabal Gurung for Target

It’s T-minus two days until the Prabal Gurung for Target collection hits stores on the Sunday. I’ve previously posted about my so-so attitude toward designer collaborations {sometimes the pieces look and feel a bit cheap and other times, the prices are way too high}, but this Prabal line doesn’t fall in to either of those categories. If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook you’ve already witnessed me raving about the new line.

Target’s had a ton of designer collaborations from Mulberry to Missoni, but I can honestly say the Prabal Gurung line is my absolute favorite. The quality and standout style is definitely worth way more than the average $40 price tag.

Last week was pretty big for me. I made my second appearance on the Today Show {my first appearance is here}.
My latest appearance was all about fashionable finds under $50. I picked my favorite pieces from department stores that packed major punch without putting a strain on your wallet.
If you missed the live segment, check out the video below as well as some behind the scenes shots and details on what I wore.

Update Your Style: Raid Your Mom’s Closet

purses

Over the holiday, something crazy happened. Well, not crazy as in weird, but crazy as in awesome.

While home in Jersey, I saw a large trash bag in the attic and being the nosy person I am, I opened it up. And to my surprise, a ton of great purses were inside. When I say great, I mean mint condition designer and vintage handbags.
