Arcadia fall preview
Last week I attended a press event for the Arcadia Group and though I was tempted to skip it {crazy schedule!}, I'm so glad I didn't. Arcadia Group might not sound familiar, you certainly know their brands, which include Dorothy Perkins, Miss Selfridge, Wallis and Evans.
This was the British company's first press day outside of Great Britain and after reviewing what they have in store for fall and winter, I'm so glad I made it. Besides being fashionable and statement making, the pieces are affordable. How affordable? I'm talking most items are less than $50!

graphic print sneakersWhat: Simpsons Chuck Taylor All Star sneakersWhy: Everyone needs a fresh pair of bold kicks for the season.Unless I'm working out, I'm not much of a sneaker girl. But the one brand of sneakers I'll rock anytime, anyplace is a pair of Chucks. They have a classic, Americana feel and pair well with everything.So I was really excited and intrigued when I heard my favorite brand was releasing a collection with The Simpsons, the longest running scripted show in television history.
