No matter what the cost, you can always create a look that’s fun and fly.You ever feel like you have nothing to wear? Or you've worn everything in your closet a million times before? Yeah, that's what I went through last weekend.I wanted to wear my comfy Banana Republic shorts (last seen here and here) with my fave bag (last seen here), my go to embellished sandals...

This weekend I trekked to Brooklyn for a little retail therapy at Beacon's Closet. I've heard of the store for years, but this was my first time visiting the shop where you can buy, sell and trade your used clothing and accessories.I was uber impressed on every level. The store was organized, clothes were affordable (most pieces were $11-$15) and the accessories were swoon-worthy.

All this week I've been hearing about Kmart's fall collection. Yes, you read correctly, Kmart! Apparently the cheap chic collection has been causing quite a buzz and is even featured in the September issues of mags like InStyle, Vogue and Glamour. So of course I had to get my hands on some photos and give you the dish.Here's how the discount retailer describes the collection:The Fall 2010 Apparel collection is based on the latest trends, pulling from current styles in the fashion world like the Military-inspired Sgt. Pepper Jacket with shoulder embellishments, a Rocker Chic Bomber Jacket and Distressed Skinny Denim.  Fall wardrobe basics like the skinny cargo pant complement bolder looks like the high-waisted peplum military jacket. Where Kmart really stands out is in the details. Fine stitching, fully lined jackets, and streamlined silhouettes. Click more to see detailed photos and pricing information.
