Refinery29: Cheap Thrill! A Beaded, Bandaged Skirt That Doesn’t Cost You Balmain Bucks
November 9th, 2009 admin

We follow the trends like some people follow the stock market, but when a single piece seems like a repository of all the hot trends of the season (hello, Balmain !), we’re a little hesitant to lay down so much money for something that’s bound to go the way of the peasant skirt and harem pant of yore. So, we did a little boogie when we spotted this Forever21 beaded mini for only $27.80 ! Granted, the cheapie version doesn’t quite pack the same punch as the original, but who can really tell when

Ok, so we’ve been obsessed with those now-iconic Louis Vuitton bunny ears ever since they went down the runway, but we were never big fans of the LV price-tag. It seems someone at Topshop must have seen us trying on some ears from the post-Halloween bargain bin and taken pity on us, because they’ve turned out some stylish satin bunny...

It’s time to graduate from those grimy baseball caps from your college days. When the UV rays are beating down hard, choose a sun hat to shield your face. We’ve been lusting after hats with a Dick Tracy vibe, and Vena Cava’s fall show only fueled our lust for a wide-brimmed, flat-topped hat with major film noir sensibilities....

The moto jacket might seem more like a fringe buy than a classic must-have, but, if perfectly tailored, slim-fitting, with hardware that’s more chic than creepy, the LBJ (that’s Little Black Jacket, for all you politico buffs out there) can withstand the test of time. However, if you’re not ready to splurge quite yet, train your...

It’s a shame that Rachel Antonoff ’s sweetly flowing dresses and separates aren’t found in shops on every corner, but now that she’s created a specially priced $90 dress for Target , everyone can get their hands on some of the good stuff. With a delicate sweetheart neckline, a festive print, and a great price tag, this...

The one bad thing about pop-up shops is that they usually come and go (uh, Liberty for Target anyone?) before you can say “I love those shoes!” Lucky for us, the Hayden-Harnett boutiques in Nolita and Greenpoint know better than to leave us hanging after a hot second of shopping heaven. The sexy duo teamed up with coveted Chicago store...

Polo Ralph Lauren introduces its RLX concept shop carrying active lifestyle gear (formerly RLX Ski) for men and women on Friday at Malibu Country Mart . White-on-white seasonal looks for women show up in the Sunset dress, left ($198), and pima cotton harem pant ($145) and for men, in the double-layer cotton T-shirt ($85) and super-soft lounge pant...

Gap always provides us with a back-to-basics style that is both timeless and price-friendly, but occasionally they switch it up and deliver an unbeatable, trendy gem. This clean cut, slim fitting sweater take on a motorcycle jacket is a hip layering tool that looks a zillion times more expensive than it actually is. The mixed weaves, off-kilter...

In our opinion, there’s nothing quite as instantly glamorous as a floor-grazing, strapless dress. Paired with simple jewelry, it’s a one-piece show-stopper that has the charm, grace, and uniqueness to take you from a daytime shopping trip to a candlelit dinner. But sometimes, buying a maxi-dress can entail maxi(mum) price-tags. But...

Each look that made its down the Burberry spring ‘10 runway ( and the fall runway too, but that’s another story) made our heart race a little faster, and while we would have loved to snap up every single thing, it’s a little more realistic that we purchase just a single skirt or beautiful sweater. The signature gabardine trench...

A Very Sad Fact: Forever21 (and other stores) trick you into thinking you look hotter in their clothes than you actually do. How do they do this? Through the clever use of tilted mirrors, which tilt[......]
