Wide Leg Pants For Every Budget 2007-07-05 06:09:00 Wide leg pants have been resurrected and I for one am delighted to be out of those darn clingy skinny jeans. So not fun in hot weather! A fresh silhouette for the summer, wide leg pants elongate your legs as well as hide any misproportions no matter what your body type or shoes you wear, so put 'em on your shopping list!Clockwise15DollarStore Ashley Wide Leg

American Beauty: Bikini Sets for under $20 2007-07-04 06:21:00 Happy Fourth of July everyone!To celebrate this momentous 231st year of independence, I have been checking out the Victoria's Secret Sale on swimwear (any excuse really, any excuse...) and what better fashion declaration on this day than a fabulous string bikini! As if I didn't own too many already, at a super cheap $19.99 a set, one (or three) more can do me no harm! And if you don't own one yet, seriously, now is the time. Quit hiding and free yourself from those one-pieces and tankinis (don't even get me started on skirtinis), get yourself a cover-up and hit the beach!Beach Sexy® String bikini set $34.00 $19.99 Read more:American

Trendy in Torquoise 2007-07-03 05:47:00 Color is essential this summer so don't forget to add a nice big helping to your next ensemble. All things vivid are hot and throw in some wild prints while you're at it. I took this floral chiffon headband and worked my way out with the color scheme to create this outfit.

Bags On A Budget 2007-07-09 19:23:00 Even designer inspired handbags can get a little pricey, so I was wondering what exactly does 20 bucks buy you in the bag department these days? A quick stop at Old Navy didn't leave me disappointed with their chic quilted hobo bag (also in black, red and gray). Goody's and NY&Co had some nifty finds on sale. And ofcourse, we can't forget Target! Target has an impressive range of cute handbags in the $20-and-well-under range, my fave being this black Mossimo Satchel above at 50% off!Target Mossimo® Double Handle Satchel $29.99 $14.99Goody's Levi's Tuscany Trap Tote $26.00 $18.20Goody's Chateau International Large Patchwork Hobo $25.00 $17.50Old Navy Quilted Hobo Bags $19.50NY&Co Metro Nylon Ruched Satchel $24.95 $17.46
City Style Chic 2007-07-07 23:10:00 Dresses are hot on the streets of NY at the moment and a definite wardrobe essential this season. But you don't have to spend a fortune to nab that sophisticated city style. Check out this dress from Walmart! For $13.77, it's simple yet sophisticated and doesn't it just look oh-so comfortable! Take this look from cheap to chic by teaming it with some of this summer's other hot trends - an oversized tote and sunglasses and dress it up with these metallic detailed flats and pretty chandeliers.Walmart Faded Glory Print Dress with Ribbon Trim $13.77 Forever21 Polished Chandelier Earrings $4.80YesStyle

Faux Couture - YSL look for less 2007-07-13 03:37:00 I came across this short red jacket at the PlasticLand Inventory Reduction Sale and thought it bore a nice resemblance to the one from YSL's 2007 spring/summer ready to wear collection. Pair it with this retro gingham plaid dress and pointy toe pumps and I think we've found ourselves a match! Question is, where do you wear such an ensemble? And even more so, WHO would wear it? This time around, I think I'm gonna have to pass.LoveMyShoes Guess Pointy Toe Pump $131.25 $49.97PlasticLand Red Stretch Pique Short Jacket $63.00 $37.80PlasticLand Retro Gingham Plaid Peasant Dress $58.00 $34.80TOTAL: $122.57P.S I'm heading out of town for the weekend, but I'll be back on Monday so don't. move. a. muscle.

Real World Style - Vintage Love 2007-07-21 20:32:00 Our 2nd Real WorldStyle
feature is on 18 year old budding photographer Marcelina from Kalisz, Poland. She absolutely loves vintage fashion. "I usually shop in second-hand shops. It's the best place to shop if you're out of money. In fact it's the best place to shop ever. If I only have 50 bucks to spend, I could go to a second-hand shop and find a totally awesome outfit for sure. I also wear my mom's or aunt's old clothes." Check out the too cute red dress above - something her grandmother made for her mother when she was Marcelina's age, and still chic to this day!"High fashion for me is completely incomprehensible. I've got a rather thrifty nature, so even if I had lots of money I would never spend 100 euro on a t-shirt. But on the other hand I can imagine that designer pieces have higher quality and that's very important for some people.""My style is inspired by my friends, girls on the streets, celebs and vintage journals. I love long, fake golden necklaces as well as vin Read more:Vintage
