Dear Budget Babe,
I'm constantly amazed at how you can effortlessly find the knock-off of an original. Can you share some tips on how to find a budget version of desired objects?
Sincerely,

Dear Rose,
God knows I wish there was a magic tool I could use, but finding fashions that look alike is just my strange ...hobby, you could say. I was always really good at that children's game Memory; love art history and recognizing works by a given artist; never forget a face - I'm that kind of person.
So I don't usually seek out something that looks like something else, I just browse magazines and stores (online and in person), and when I see two things that resemble one another, I make a mental note and feature it on my blog.
Obviously, certain stores have developed s
CHICAGO – After being blitzed by an onslaught of attention-demanding advertising that begged the question “who is Sarah Marshall?” even before you realized it’s a film, anticipation was ravenous.
It became nothing short of voracious upon learning it’s backed by producer Judd Apatow of “Superbad,” “Knocked Up,” “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby,” “The 40-Year-Old Virgin” and “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy” fame (also with high hopes for his “Pineapple Express,” which opens on Aug. 8, 2008).

Heidi Montag launched her new clothing line Heidiwood over the weekend which she previously described as "fun and flirty for the everyday woman." Since I'm freaking bad to the ass, I came up with a more appropriate slogan:
Heidiwood: Clothing designed exclusively by and for the everyday skank - who loves looking classy!

Christine Suppes, Special to The ChronicleDo designers look forward or backward for inspiration and direction? We have just come out of several years of fashion subservience to the cult of Marie Antoinette. Yet last week at the Paris fall 2008 shows, there was nary a milkmaid ruffled frock to be found in most collections.Fashion history lessons, however, are always available, and no designer is fonder of runway tutorials than John Galliano for Dior. His early-'60s-style ensembles of boxy jackets and pleated dresses in color blocks of chartreuse, violet, pink and orange recalled well-dressed women in the era between JFK's Camelot and the flower children. High-crowned, broad-brimmed hats with big hair and heavy eyeliner added a hard-edged, aggressive glamour.Andrew Gn is another who enjoys h

Do you want to have bolder fashion statements? Well, Harvey Nichols got all the answers you needed. See the latest Harvey Nichols Womenswear and Menswear campaign entitled "Fashion Statement".At first glance, I wonder what is the essence of the balloon on these ads. Later I realized that the ads really speak for the concept: wearing Nichols' line might be so strong that it will knock down the people around you. So, you need to be extra-careful.

It seems like fashion trends are going underground, at least in New York City.
The New York City subway system is the unlikely background for several unusual fashion events.
First, there was the female group of performers who transformed the N subway line in New York City into a pole dancing experience.
Complete with flips, hand over head movements and riding the pole routines.
Lured on by an online contest, the four young dancers put on an exciting performance for New York City Subway riders.
The high kicking dancer Laura Lee Anderson, dress in dance leotards and t-shirt, treated the subway riders to some high kicks, as she kicked her leg way above her hear.
Dancer Jessica Wu took a couple of spins around the su

Kim was booting in the New Year in South Beach at Mansion's Tanqueray and Ciroc New Year's Bash.

As you may recall, Kim was catapulted into the celebrity lime light in 2007, after a sex tape made with her ex-boyfriend Ray J hit the Internet.
The publicity surrounding the tape, propelled her into the spot light and a reality show - "keeping up with the Kardashians".

And pop she did, at a new years celebration at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino.

She wore a red and black checkers plaid school micro mini skirt, white t-shirt and skull sneakers.
Avril really cut loose at the party, and really danced up a strom.
She then, counted down the minutes to the new year with husband Sum 41 singer Deryck Whibley.

To mark its 100th anniversary, the luxury retailer asked leading fashion designers to create what they see as the future of fashion. The results — everything from a black and white sequined pantsuit embellished with an enormous bow by Giorgio Armani, to a silvery evening gown from Valentino — are on display at the company’s flagship store beginning Saturday.
The creations from about two dozen designers are part of a shimmering display among jewelry and purses on the store’s ground floor. That exhibit and several others throughout the store will be on display through Nov. 3.

In the last few years or so maternity clothes have come a looong way. They’ve become more fashionable for sure. Some of which I wouldn’t mind wearing pregnant or not! I own a few shirts that kinda look like they are maternity shirts and I plan on keeping them for when I do become pregnant. I actually own a real maternity shirt, the Brown White Flower Maternity Short Sleeve Shirt from Kiki’s Fashions. I thought the pattern was so cute, so I HAD to have it! I wore it when I went out to eat with Greg, his mother, brother, sister, and their “mates”. I can’t get to those pictures that I took since my laptop is currently on the fritz, so I’ll post one that I took today.

Cherished-Woman came on the scene a few months ago as another in the continuing line of plus size merchants forgoing brick and mortar locations to make their mark on the internet. Owner and founder Nancy Baum is making her mark this Fall with a stunning Kimono style dress by celebrity designer Abby Z.
According to a recent press release:
“In stunning before and after pictures GLAMOUR magazine shows curvy women that wearing styles that define your waist allows a sexy shape to emerge. To highlight this GLAMOUR selected Abby Z’s Kimono Dress with its empire waistline and slenderizing v-neckline, which follows curves instead of hiding them, as the better choice for plus size women to enhance their curvy figures.

This year I am going to do something different. Normally I concentrate on women’s fashion when it comes to predictions for the upcoming season. With men’s fashion becoming more popular these days it’s time to give the men some attention for Fall/Winter 2007.
Expect to see a fitted look without a jacket and more sweaters, particularly knit. The overall look for men is going to go back to a traditional more gentleman like look that will include v-necks and more turtlenecks.
The colors will include purple in a royal fashion with eggplant added for a more polished look for pullovers. Other colors to lookout for will be the typical earth tones that are associated with men’s fashion as well as deep rich blues.
To enhance the look of sweaters and turtlenecks go with a chunky knit scarf to complete your look. Two-tone wool scarves will give you a sophisticated look to compliment your entire wardrobe.

AUSTRALIAN batsman Travis Birt has continued his love affair for playing at Bristol, scoring 140 as Derbyshire was bowled out for 312 on the opening day of the LV County Championship Division Two match against Gloucestershire. The Australia A batsman, who made a career-best 181 and 89 on the ground last year, struck 17 fours and one six in his chanceless 237-ball innings today. The innings signalled a return to form for Birt, who was previously averaging 20.30 in first-class cricket this season. Birt's resistance ended in the 83rd over as Jon Lewis, armed with a second new ball, had him leg before as he tried to leave a ball. Fellow Australians Simon Katich (41) and Michael Dighton (40) shared partnerships of 79 and 85 with Birt, while another Australian, Ben Edmondson, produced his best bowling for Gloucestershire with a return of 4-50 in 15 overs. Gloucestershire reached 0-32 before stumps, as Craig Spearman and Kadeer Ali successfully negotiat

Outrageously sexual, often shocking, dramatic and bold in line. Definitely not for the “fashion timid”. New Yorkers will be able to thrill to the super-sexy, fashion-forward genius of designer Thierry Mugler when Manhattan’s favorite vintage clothing event, The Manhattan Vintage Clothing Show & Antique Textile Show & Sale, returns to the Metropolitan Pavilion on April [...]
Corsets are no longer just worn as undergarment, or in the bedroom. Women wear them to the Club, to cocktail and dinner parties. There are many occasions to wear a corset, brides wear them under their wedding dress. Corsets are also liked by men and women for the added cleavage they provide, and how they accentuate a womens curves.

'
More and more you see women wearing a corset on the streets, dressed up with a blazer, or for sepcial occasions with a Shawl.
e.g.
Rhinestone Shawl
We have also seen a new trend in the fashion world, waist cinchers.or open bust corsets worn over a long sleeve T-Shirt, and also over a sheer Blouse. You will be surprised how hot that looks.

Today's Corsets and Bustiers are made of lace and satin, denim knit, sheer with embroidery, and of course for the more daring among us Leather and Patent Leather. Of course they are a lot more comfortable as they used to be. Sizes range from
There was talk a few weeks ago about fashion designers Calvin Klein and Micheal Mors getting into the plus size fashion world. Macy’s is carrying clothing by both designers.
The good thing about this is that there are more designers jumping on the band wagon and making clothing for plus size women and in some cases men more fashionable and trendy.
The drawback to the clothing that is offered at Macy’s is that the models don’t reflect the sizes that they offer.
This is a wake up call to all plus size models and plus size modeling agencies. There needs to be a harder push towards being able to represent the customers that will be buying the items. A size 14 model is not a good representation of what a size 22 customer would look like in clothing.
Applause to all the players for there efforts now there just needs to be larger real sized models to give shoppers a real look at how the clothing will look on a larger frame.

The Belisi Fashions brand of ties, scarves and accessories unites the luxury and prestige of Palm Beach with Italian beauty and sophistication thanks to the skill and background of successful designer Peter Belisi. Despite his total dedication to design, exquisite materials and skilled craftsmanship, Belisi has not forgotten his humble roots. In creating his range of high class accessories, he never forgets his pledge to continue giving something back to society. A portion of every sale from the Belisi range is earmarked for donation to local charity and medical research. Most recently Peter has launched a new men's fashion blog: Sharp by Design. This looks set to become essential reading for the style conscious man who wants to avoid fashion disasters and stay in touch with men's clothing trends.
India's Lakme Fashion Week is next month, so I decided to do a quick piece on some of the most fabulous designers in India right now. A country that's so rich in colour, fabrics and details, its no surprise that there really are some amazing clothes on the go, and where better to look for a fresh look for S/S 07?With a touch of the saree and a bit of the salwar-kameez, Indian designers are up to date with, but magically rework western trends. At the top, Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla (www.abusandeep.com/) have dressed some western stars, and I think they have a boutique in London called Also. Then there's Delhi-born Hemant Sagar and his partner's Lecoanet-Hemant (http://www.lecoanethemant.com/), which have interesting clothes but beautiful bags such as the S-line bag (right) which also comes in zebra and leopard. Another designer who I love is Payal Singhal (http://www.payalsinghal.com/index.php). I love this dress from Lakme India FW 2006 (above left). And what about this dress, rig
Last year she made a splash on the runway in Europe. Velvet D’Amour is continuing her modeling success by helping to showcase sexy upscale clothing for Hourglass Fashions. Just like my blog and many others like me they are affiliates of IGIGI. The red gown that Velvet is wearing is from IGIGI.
What I like that best about continuing to see Velvet in action is that she is showing the world that plus size models can strut there stuff on the runway as well as the web.
Hourglass Fashions website is easy to navigate and has features such as gift certificates, clearance and a link to there Myspace.com page.
Check out Hourglass Fashions as well as the other merchants that I have listed in the links section of Full Figure Plus. Don’t forget if you want to keep up with what is going on in the plus size clothing world subscribe to the newsfeed or email.

It's happened. We've become That Couple. The couple who gleefully purchases costumes for their pets, gets the pets into the clothing through a complicated system of treats and half-nelsons, and documents the pets' systematic humiliation with photos.
No, we don't have kids. Why do you ask?We'd noticed the cats getting a little chilly in their brief outdoor forays, so we jokingly said we should get them little jackets. Well, at first we were joking, but then one of us -- I don't remember who, although I suspect it was me -- offered to see what kind of options for cat outerwear might be available. So the preposterous concept became first a reality, then an inevitability. I imagine a great many sexual missteps and murders are set in motion the same way.

If you think the jacket fits him a little funny, especially in the shoulder region, you're right. That's be
It is the Earth-day of the Rt. Hon.Robert Nesta Marley( aka Bob Marley) today, and ofcourse being that I'm a born Jamaican and a big fan, I've decided to focus a little on Rastafarian inspired fashion and styling.And if you ever get a chance to visit the Bob Marley Museum here in Kingston Jamaica, be sure to check out the clothing that both Bob and The I-Threes( Rita Marley, Marcia Griffith and Judy Mowat were some of the best dressed and stylist Rasta sisters around) used to wear!!!Now, you might know or might not know that one of Bob's children has a prestigious clothing line named after his first album, Catch a Fire. Her name is Cedella Marley and she also used to be apart of the group The Melody Makers with some of her brothers and sister. I remember when I was a little girl watching the music video and seeing them sing and dance how much i admired their clothes( which most times were sewn by them and thier mom). So it no wonder she decided to take the step and launch her own l
Fist Update: I have decided to change my policy on payments for my Couture Fashions. Now payments must be paid up front. The reason for this change is mainly because I will take as much time as needed to create the perfect design for my customers. Some have only been a day, some as long as a week. With the ones that take longer, I find myself become irritated. This is something I wish to avoid at all costs. Because I will do what ever it takes to make the client happy... including starting from scratch (as I have done!) I don't think asking for payment up front is unreasonable.Second Update:If you have bought a Couture Fashion from me and are looking for a change... I now have a new price for redesigns... $35. This is for the original Blog Template... not for a new blog. In other words... If you want a new template for a different blog, it will still be $50, but a new template for the original blog is only $35. You may keep the first template and rotate it with the new one, but you ca

I know we used to have a topic on this but it has fallen by the wayside. Anyone interested in getting it started again now that Deepika has added this new "topic" header.
I've been in the stash contest - mainly sewing up some knits into tops. Yesterday I found some Juliette in a really nice denim blue color which, of course, I had to buy. Now what to do with it?? I bought 1.5 yds but could go get more. I'd like something other than a plain t-shirt.Last post by MareeAlison at Tue 17 Jul 2007 11:06:00 PM Total posts: 999

I enjoyed reading the 50 & fab topic a lot, but here I am at 45. Body is just starting that gravitational drift downwards :eek: I have the darndest time finding clothing that is neither too young looking or as my DH says "matronly". Have been shopping at Christopher & Banks, and made a few tops out of Loes Hinse patterns, which turned out pretty good, but it is so frustrating. I guess I'm having a hard time dealing with the changes in shape, plus the weird clothing styles out there doing a 70's flashback.Last post by Christianne at Tue 24 Jul 2007 10:41:58 PM Total posts: 95
