Necessary Objects Women's Marilyn Rattan Handle Satchel, Floral Print
To pull off such a bold design, make sure you are wearing a solid color dress. Otherwise, the flowers will become too overwhelming. You can also carry the purse while sporting a pair of jeans. I love combining high and low styles in my outfits--a fancy accessory with a simple everyday piece of clothing. You don't want to look too dressed up or underdressed. This way, you at least have an element of both extremes in your wardrobe.
Summer is almost here. What does that mean? Every girl needs to have some pretty dresses, of course!
If you want to look a bit different from the rest, check out Asos, the great UK store I have discovered. It carries a wonderful selection of all things fashionable. And if you click on the American flag in the "Change currency" category, it will show you all the prices in dollars. The shipping is a paltry 5 bucks--pretty low, considering the package is coming from England.
Most important pointer: Do NOT forget to convert sizes:
British size 6-US size 2, B 8-US 4, B 10-US 6, B 12- US 8, B 14-US 10, B 16-US 12
Here are 3 dresses from the sale section (click on the photo) that appealed to me:
1. Off Shoulder Long Sleeve Dress WAS $41.80 NOW $22.80
Asos calls this the Drew Barrymore dress. To me, it channels Marilyn Monroe. Sultry, sexy, tight in all the right places. Buy it for the seductress in you.
2. Swirl Spot Button Dress WAS $47.50 NOW $30.40
This one has a cute geometric pattern in fashionable nautical colors. Very girly and playful.
3. Lipsy Chainmail Dress WAS $66.50 NOW $26.60
This one is my favorite. Love the wrap style, adore the sleeve details and the pencil-skirt look on the bottom. Just the perfect length for a fancy occasion that calls for sophisctication. Now, if I just had somewhere to wear it!
Enjoy and stay away from the bloody Gap!

Now, how do you accessorize on the beach? You don't, really. Unless you are a Victoria's Secret model or someone who favors unusual tan lines. What you could do is put on a pair of pretty earrings. Don't have any? No problem.
If you like gold, raise your left hand. If you prefer to buy gold on sale, raise your right eyebrow. If your heart starts beating faster when you hear, "84% off," shake it all around. If you want fashionable gold earrings, click here.

So, snap up this timeless piece before it's gone. Or, if you are more endowed in other areas (the money department), check out Kamali's clothing. It's more pricey but very versatile.

I have spotted a couple of items for you, girls, that you cannot help but love. Oh, and the best part? Coupons, bien sur! For 15% off $100 order or 20% off $175 order (free shipping over $100!), use code 42600001. Here's what to buy:
And my favorite item by far: For a summery feel, slip these on. Still a bit pricey, but so beautiful! They are somewhat reminiscent of Anthropologie's more expensive footwear.


complement the golden metal links that hold the necklace together. If you ask me, it looks even better than the expensive version. Plus, you also get a pair of earrings that are included in the price. So, unless you like spending $500 dollars on your neck wear, check out the Coco necklace. It'll set you back $8. Hmm... A large latte with a danish or a piece of jewelry? You decide.

So, head over to Banana and pick up some elegance.

Oh, did I mention that shipping is free over $40? What more do you need, people?!
There are stores that cater to a specific group of people. For instance, Urban Outfitters carries hip, edgy apparel that appeals mostly to the college crowd. Then, there are those that have, for a lack of a better word, more matronly merchandise. Chadwick’s and Lerner come to mind. No offense to those who shop there. And then there is Newport-News.
I find that I dislike most of their selections, but often find “gems in the rough” on their site. Many of their clothes and accessories are geared towards ladies attending their twenty-fifth high school reunions. However, some dresses and accessories are really wearable and cute. And don’t forget about the bathing suits! Very affordable and slimming.
Those who need further convincing that Newport News could be cool and inexpensive, I have put together an outfit for under $50. Of course, all items are on sale. Did you think I would advocate paying retail?!

Check it out and let me know what you think.
Dress: $20, Purse: $20, Shoes: $9
happy news to you!

Speaking of headbands... They are a great alternative to the tired ponytail. And if you are more adventurous than I am (I settled for the $4 black Goody version), then check out Tara Jarmon's interpretation of funky headgear. Those who don't have the time to read about every international designer with a stint at Target (you must pronounce it Tarzhee to get the full effect), Jarmon follows Luella Bartley's footsteps. Unfortunately, I can't see much difference betwen the past British designer (her collection is now on clearance) and the new French one. Both lines seem to flatter skinny teenagers rather than curvy women. But, at least you can own a designer headband (for under 8 bucks!). So, do the groove thang and get the sixties-looking accessory. The pattern goes with the hairstyle.
