Deal of the Day: Boyfriend Cardigan for $16!

There’s no such thing as too many cardigan sweaters in a closet.  They are the perfect throw on over a basic or embellished tee with jeans, or to throw on over a tank on a chilly summer night.  This one in particular looks cozy, comfy, and the price couldn’t be better.  Your choice of two color-ways: neutral stripe or blue stripe.  Snatch up this sale for $15.90 from Nordstrom.com!

Deal of the Day: Burberry Check Compact Umbrella

It may be spring, but that doesn’t mean umbrellas are unnecessary. If you live here in San Francisco, you know what we’re talking about! Our weather forecast for the next week is rain across the board. The only thing that can bring light to this rather dreary situation is a super cute umbrella (and maybe a fun pair of rain boots). That’s why when we spotted this colorful Burberry umbrella in today’s Salemail at half off, we knew it would be wrong not to share…

Getting-ready guidelines: Take your outfit up a notch!

Picking out a stylish outfit can be a daunting – so many things to think about! No need to fret, though, our Trendsetter Chaucee is here to walk us through the process and offer a few tips on getting ready. Be sure to check out Streets & Stripes – a fashion blog following two Philadelphia friends and their evolving style on a student’s budget.

Every day my prerogative for putting together an outfit varies.  Some days I start with the weather.  Is it hot?  Is it cold?  And some days I start with what is planned for the day (for example, as a general rule I don’t wear wedges when I go for a hike).  But I always make sure that whatever I’m wearing is something that expresses who I am at that moment and how I’m feeling.

However there are a few guidelines that I follow when getting dressed and hopefully they will be a help to you too.

1. Maximize each piece – Just because a dress is a dress doesn’t mean it’s limited to that.  Lately I’ve come to wear one dress underneath a shorter one to give it some length and to play with the colors and patterns.  Sometimes I even fold down the top of a dress, slap a belt over it to keep it up, and wear it as a skirt.  Really try to think outside of the box when it comes to each garment.  A dress doesn’t always have to be a dress, and neither does a skirt.

2. Choose A Focus – If you have a pair of shoes that make a statement, don’t make it compete with the rest of your outfit.  If you have too many colors, patterns, and textures going on, things will get distracting and confusing.  Keep it simple when you’re wearing a statement piece by choosing to focus on it and letting the rest of your outfit compliment it while not overwhelming it.

3. Don’t be too matchy – My style is all about contrast — contrasting colors and contrasting patterns just make me smile and feel more unique and individual.  One of my biggest pet peeves is when people match the color of their t-shirts to the color of their Old Navy flip flops.  Ladies….switch things up!

So remember, it doesn’t matter how you start to build an outfit, or what piece you choose to work from, just remember these simple guidelines and stay true too your own individual style and you’ll be sure to look great.

Deal of the Day: BCBG Metallic Cropped Jacket

It’s wedding season — and that means breaking out the cocktail dresses and showing off some skin! But what about those instances when you’re at an outdoor ceremony, it’s the evening hours, and the weather happens to be a bit chilly? Instead of borrowing your beau’s suit jacket, or throwing on an ordinary pashmina, why not dress up your outfit with this snazzy black metallic BCBG cropped jacket?! It would look glam over a jewel-toned cocktail dress…and for even more versatile use from this piece, I’m also betting it would look stellar with a pair of jeans & heels. Seems like quite a perfect investment!
