FASHION DEAL DIVA: A (Light) Gray Day



Light gray is still in for this winter!  It's a way to be "bright" without being colorful (I know all of you aren't necessarily down for colors!)

FASHION DEAL DIVA: Designer Alert - Burberry

P


I do believe this is the first time I've featured Burberry on designer alert!

FASHION DEAL DIVA: Denim Kick Continues



I'm still all about denim shirts...it's not going away!  I think the first time I mentioned a denim shirt was last April or May (or if I didn't mention it to you, I was at least thinking about how much I wanted one!)

I don't know if the name of this particular crystal is "Bermuda Blue" or if the designer just gave it that name, but I do know that it's insanely accurate.  The waters of Bermuda are this crazy intense blue, and this color and earring capture that spectacular hue like nothing I've ever seen!

FRUGAL FIANCÉE: Shoe Sales!





It's winter, which means spring is ahead and designers will be rolling out new bridal shoe styles so they have to mark the old ones down to move product.

All this is is a plain black boot.  Or so you'd think at first glance, but it's more!

DESIGNER ALERT: Elizabeth And James





A classic black dress with some fabulous modern twists?  Why, that's my FAVORITE kind of LBD!

The sleeves are the standout here.  Just enough puff to call them "puffy," but draping and slouchy enough to make them "modern."  Big belt pairing is the way to go.

FRUGAL FIANCÉE: Double Skirt, Double Awesome.

Peplum is back in and I have seen it on a lot of different dresses/jackets. I love the peplum-like overlay on this dress, it gives it and overall vintage feel, and the top is nice and fitted for good contrast. The purpley raspberry color is great for a winter wedding as well.

Made By: J. Crew

FASHION DEAL DIVA: Guys Buys


Whoever is styling J. Crew models is doing a good job, because this sweater on it's own looks kind of blah, but on this model, with the rolled sleeves and the brown belt and jeans, it just looks smashing!

It's a good lesson for anyone that just because a sweater looks plain doesn't mean you have to style it that way!
