Get The Look: Derek Lam Spring/Summer 2011

2010-10-14T21:33:00.000-05:00

Derek Lam unveiled a simple trench look during his Spring 2011 runway show.

Get The Look: Derek Lam Spring/Summer 2011

2010-10-14T21:19:00.000-05:00

This casual denim look comes straight from the runways of Derek Lam.

Plus Tops by Old Navy

Ann Taylor Multi-Tier Autumn Spots Tank

2010-08-26T15:46:00.001-05:00

Ann Taylor's sleek LOFT label consists of chic pieces for younger customers. This tiered tank is perfect for a woman looking to create a multifunctional wardrobe. Wear this with any of your foundational garments day or or night.

Here are a few options:

Pants & Shorts by Calvin Klein

Under $50: Nine West Satchel

2010-07-26T02:42:00.001-05:00

Nine West designs cheap, chic affordable handbags and shoes perfect for the sophisticated lady on a budget.

Daily Obsession: Ralph Lauren Crochet Monokini

2010-07-20T14:36:00.001-05:00

For those of us with body insecurities, swimsuit shopping can be torture. Monokinis are more modest alternative to skimpy bathing suits. Cover up what you want, but still feel sexy.

This Ralph Lauren Crocheted Monokini ($94) is perfect for a day out in the Summer sun.

The Look for Less: Valentino Patent D'Orsay Pumps

2010-07-19T14:32:00.000-05:00

Valentino is an iconic brand, so many of their classic pieces are instantly recognizable. If someone showed me a pair of these bow pumps, I'd know them instantly. But of course, they're woefully out of range for a faithful fashionista like myself.

Fall in love with these cheap and chic pumps from Miss Me Jocelyn.

Pumps by Valentino

The Trend for Less: Walk Like An Egyptian

2010-07-13T16:29:00.000-05:00

Studs have been popular for at least a couple of seasons now, but it looks like the trend isn't going anywhere. Especially not since the hottest Louboutins are studded.

The stud trend has taken a turn toward the Mediterranean. Pyramid studs are super hot right now.

Rings by Arden B

The Look for Less: Alice + Olivia Bustier Dress

2010-07-13T12:37:00.003-05:00

As far as labels go, Alice + Olivia couldn't be hotter. Virtually every celebrity under the sun has been spotted in their signature dresses (including Beyonce).

But for the average woman, the super-pricey designs are a little out of reach.
This Alice + Olivia Sequin Bustier dress retails for nearly $500.

But you can get a similar look with this dress by Cachet that's less than $100.

The Look for Less: Ashlee Simpson's Rocker Chic

2010-07-12T22:14:00.001-05:00

I love Ashlee Simpson's sophisticated rocker style. She's all about mixing and matching classic pieces with trendier items.

This look is straight Joan Jett. The tight leather pants and platform pumps are fabulous.

Camisoles by Express

Summer Hot Buys: Hellz Bellz Women's Liberty Dress

2010-07-06T04:02:00.000-05:00

Hellz Bellz - Womens Liberty Dress $63

The Look for Less: Mesh Cutout Dress

2010-06-30T03:43:00.000-05:00

Cutout dresses are the hottest Summer trend. Wearing a dress with just the right amount of skin revealed gives you a look that's sexy and sophisticated.

Alexander Wang, Stella McCartney and BCBG Max Azria are a few of the designers who've used the look on the runway. But there's a way to get the look for a far more reasonable price.

Here's a nearly exact replica of one of my favorites.

Evening Dresses by Arden B

Summer Accessories Under $25

2010-06-30T02:50:00.000-05:00

There are tons of ways to spice up a simple outfit. Check out these amazing accessories under $25.

Under $50: Shiraleah Morgan Croc Embossed Tote Bag

2010-06-14T21:21:00.000-05:00

Fabulous Frock: Arden B. Ikat Printed Dress

2010-06-10T08:59:00.001-05:00

The Daily Swimsuit: Petal Ruffle Bikini

2010-06-08T10:52:00.001-05:00

In a few days the Summer season will officially begin, but we're already spending a lot of our time by the pool. Modest swimsuits are nice, but why not show it off.

This ruffle print bikini is bound to get a lot of attention poolside. Top: $16.50

Bottoms: $16.50

Under $20: American Eagle Gilt Sunglasses

2010-06-06T17:57:00.000-05:00

Luxe sunglasses have become an increasingly profitable market for designers like Tom Ford and Marc Jacobs, but not all of us have $200 to spend on a pair of cute sunnies.

Thankfully, the affordable fashion outlets always have a great selection to choose from. These aviators are only $15 from American Eagle. Perfect for a day at the beach.

The Daily Sandal: Armani Xchange Jelly Sandal

2010-06-06T16:36:00.001-05:00

What shoes did you wear when you were a kid. Chances are you were probably sporting a pair of super cool jelly shoes. Unless, of course, you were like us and your mother flat out refused them.

Make up for lost time and sport a pair of these super cute jellies.

Available for $38 from Armani Exchange

2010-06-03T10:42:00.006-05:00

2009-05-13T22:26:00.001-05:00

It's not everyday that we find a bikini that we love. When bikini shopping you have to walk a fine line between looking like a grandma and looking like a stripper. Oh, how we wish that line were easier to walk. At any rate, this twist bandeau bikini is a great compromise. Cute and classic.

2009-05-08T08:00:00.000-05:00

One of the quickest ways to add personality to a drab outfit is to throw on a statement necklace. They're hot this season, but they're usually a little pricey. Thankfully, our favorite budget retailers have them for incredible prices.

We accidentally came across this J. Crew replica while doing some swimsuit shopping a few days ago.

Cheap: Tory Necklace, $19.50

Recession Dressing...Part 2

2008-12-03T00:41:00.000-06:00

How many times have you heard the old adage, "accessories make the outfit"? Well, you've heard it ad nauseum because it's true. A change of bag, shoe, or jewelry can easily alter your entire look.

When you don't have a lot of money to spend on numerous bangles and baubles, we suggest that you invest in a single statement necklace. A big necklace can update a dress you've already worn or take a day outfit to night.

Recession Dressing...Part I

2008-11-30T23:58:00.002-06:00

Haven't you heard? The economy sucks. You need to stop spending your money on clothes and start paying off your credit card debt right now. And we here at Affordable Fashion are here to help. Beginning with a new series of posts called "Recession Dressing." Get more out of your wardrobe. We're starting with a Fall/Winter 2008 staple...the cardigan.

The cardigan is wonderous item because of it's sheer versatility. Wear it dressed down with a pair of jeans, an oversized clutch, and a pair of ballet flats. Or pair wear it over a cute ruffle top with a pencil skirt and heels. Either way you'll look polished and chic. And if you're really feeling adventurous, double-up your cardigans.

My pics are after the jump...

Cheap and Cheaper: Scarf Style

2008-09-01T06:38:00.001-05:00

If you've been following celebrity fashions in the slightest, then you know that the scarf is the hottest accessory for this season. Chances are the celebs are wearing designer scarves which are priced upwards of $100, but you don't have to settle for paying big bucks for what will ultimately turn out to be a passing fad. Here are two almost identical scarves which are both well under $100.

Houndstooth Bandana, $19.50

Houndstooth Scarf, $4.50

Introducing The Wet Seal Collection

2008-07-14T08:38:00.003-05:00

It's a phenomenon. The new trend of affordable fashion outlets producing their very own eponymous brand of clothing "high end" clothing. First Forever 21, gave us TwelvebyTwelve and later announced that they would be expanding their retail outlets and now Wet Seal has introduced "The Wet Seal" Collection which is now only available online and at select stores.

As a retail savvy consumer, I understand that this is simply a ploy to get us to think that we're buying something better than what it actually is. Wet Seal and high end are still virtual antonyms, but I appreciate the effort. Plus, the clothes are pretty cute. Here's a sneak peek.

One Shoulder Ikat Dress, $24.50; Wood Bead Halter Dress, $28.50; 5 Tier Printed Dress, $27.50;

Emma Tube Top, $24.50; Wood Button Short, $28.50; Marley Twill Pant, $34.50;

Love Them Or Loathe Them?

2008-06-30T21:22:00.004-05:00

I've been a fan of Old Navy flip flops since I was in middle school. They've served me well. Saving me from goodness knows how many foot funguses and diseases I've encounted at public pools and dorm bathrooms.

But now, I think Old Navy might be getting a bit too creative with their latest incarnation of the flip flop.

The Deal of the Day: Busted Tees

2008-06-23T08:04:00.002-05:00

I love to dress up, but I love a cute tshirt. Because let's face it. Some days I just don't want to spend an hour getting ready to go out.

One of my favorite t-shirt sites of all time is Busted Tees. Not only do their tshirts have an amazing fit (American Apparel knows what they're doing), but they're clever and cute. So today's deal of the day features shirts from Busted Tees. *Bonus* Today all of their tees are only $13.

Weekend Look: Summer Breezy

2008-05-11T10:42:00.000-05:00

So less than two weeks away from the official start of Summer, and I couldn't be happier. In part because of the fantastic weather that is to come, but mostly because I adore summer fashion.

Of course, you can be sexy while completely covered up in the dead of Winter, but there's nothing like showing a little skin to get in you in the mood for the vacation months. Over the years I've learned that no one does casual sexy like Baby Phat, so I immediately opted for this creamsicle colored top from KLS' youthcentric line. With such a gorg top in tow, the rest of the outfit practically picked itself out. Love it!

The Divine Nine: Delia's Dresses

2008-04-10T09:43:00.000-05:00

I remember when I first discovered Delia's. I thought I was so mature while I was pretend shopping in a catalog that was sent directly to me. Now that I'm actually old enough to wear the clothes that Delia's sells. I've realized that they're pretty hit or miss. Sometimes I love everything on the site, and other times, well, I just can't find a single piece I would actually wear.

But recently Delia's has stepped up their product selection including adding a bevy of gorgeous summer dresses. I loved them all, but here are the Divine 9. The best part is Delia's is having a fantastic sale where you can get 15% off your entire dELiA*s purchaseby simply entering the code SPRBRK until April 17.

2008-04-03T12:56:00.001-05:00

Payless has got something for everything. This isn't your mother's shoe store. On my last visit I purchased a couple of great pairs, and the best part is you can't even tell that they're all less than $30.

Now Payless has unveiled their new amazing Spring styles.

Variations On A Theme: Dolce and Gabanna Spring '08

2008-03-25T23:21:00.000-05:00

As usual, Dolce and Gabanna presented one of my favorite collections for the Spring/Summer 2008 season. They switched up their overtly sexual (and borderline vulgar) styles for more demure, ethereal pieces. This season, every designer's ouevre was filled with boldy, splashy prints and Dolce's was no exception, but one of my favorite looks to walk the runway was a relatively simple one composed of a simple t-shirt and khaki skirt. Because I'm sure that each of these pieces retails for atleast $200 in stores, I decided to recreate the look.

1. Newspaper Foil Tee, $12.50, Wet Seal
2. Pleat Front Bucklet Skirt, $20.50, Wet Seal

3. Basketweave Belt, $7.80, Forever 21

Jeans for $12?

2007-12-11T11:20:00.001-06:00

Discount retailer Forever 21 is selling these surprisingly cute skinny jeans for just $12.50. I must admit that my first thought was: what's the catch? They cut is nice, as is the color, but why are they selling for so little. I'd give it a try, but I already have such a difficult time finding jeans that fit, that internet denim purchases don't seem very wise.

But if I knew they would fit, I'd totally go for it! How about you. Are $12 right up your alley?

How much would you pay for these dresses?

2007-12-09T23:39:00.001-06:00

Well, quite amazingly, they're only $7.00 from Wal-Mart. I know shocking right. Who knew Wal-Mart was making clothes like this?

I love how the ladies, especially Carrie, always look so effortlessly put together. But of course, we all can't afford Carrie's vintage Dior dresses or Blahnik pumps, so I decided to create a look that was effortlessly chic in the city.

Style Inspiration: Meagan Good

2007-09-14T11:05:00.000-05:00

I am usually not a fan of Meagan's Good's style. She carries around the same Marc Jacob's Stam bag all the damn time, and she never looks completely put together. With that being said, she looked phenomenal wearing high-waisted wide leg denim and her signature ghetto gold last week. So after much blogosphere hoopla surrounding this outfit. I decided to show you how to get the look.

Is This Stealing?

2007-09-01T11:02:00.000-05:00

Kate Moss for Topshop Mini Dress w/ cutout neckline

Forever 21 Claire Dress

While doing my semi-daily perusal of the Forever 21 website, I found this dress that looks almost identical from one I'd seen in Kate Moss' collection for Topshop.

Forever 21 has become infamous for borrowing other retailer's designs. My question is: Is this stealing?
