Shop It To Me

I recently came across this awesome & totally chic website called Shop It To Me. The website allows you to select your favorite clothing brands, type and size and have daily or weekly e-mails sent to you when those items go on sale. There is no cost to set-up your account, and it only takes about five minutes to do.

This is such a novel idea and a fantastic way to keep up-to-date on all the great bargains you can find on the Web! Click on the image below to visit their site.

Spring Cleaning

Sometimes I stand in my closet and glare at my robust wardrobe. I have plenty of tops, sweaters, blazers, pants, dresses and skirts, but there are occasions when I just feel bored with every article of clothing I own. I get in a rut with my look and fancy a day when I could throw everything out and start anew. Well that is pretty unrealistic for me, unless I somehow came into some money. However, I often do try to find a few inexpensive pieces to freshen up what I feel is a stale look. And right now I'm feeling the need for some new spring & summer tops. I'm lucky because there are tons of cute tops to choose from. Here are a few chic ones that fit my bill -- all at fantastic prices.


Emma Floral Top, Kohls, $19.99


Anna Top, Delias, $32


Front-Tie Floral Woven Top, Kohl's, $30.80

Classic Trends

I usually don't follow trends -- they are fleeting in the world of fashion and really don't emote true style, rather fly-by style, as I like to call it. Nevertheless, some trends can overcome their transient nature by latching onto traditional styles and shapes. The graphic print dress is one such trend. Alone, the bold, mod patterns are a bit kitschy, but paired with classic dress shapes (sheaths, wrap-dresses and halters) they definitely have chic staying power.
