There's nothing quite like a dress to move you from spring to summer. Easy, breezy isn't just for Cover Girl. Yes, I've been itching to get my hands on oodles of dresses that I can belt, wrap and scrunch in my hot little hands.

And how about I share some faves... all less than $50 each. You're welcome. Happy Tuesday, all! And may the shopping odds be ever in your favor.

Celebrity Style Stalker: Anna Paquin

Oh Celebrity Style Stalker...I've missed this feature, haven't you?

Holiday Gear to Spread Chic Cheer

Hi all!

So, I started thinking about holiday parties, and then I naturally thought about shopping. Holiday gear is always so pretty, so shiny, so lovely, but I really only wear that shiz once or twice and then it sits in my closet, forever.

Therefore, instead of blowing $200 on an entire holiday outfit, I thought of utilizing some well-established pieces and just purchase a fun skirt to polish up a new holiday look!

What you will need: black tights, simple black sweater/turtleneck and black booties/heels. The Polyvore set below features just a few fabulous (and affordable) skirts that would look just smashing for any holiday fete.

What do you think? Have any holiday looks in mind?

Dressing for Date Night...Under $100!

Happy Monday, everyone! (Is that an oxymoron..."Happy Monday"?)

I wanted to start of this week looking forward to Friday....I will be seeing a bunch of great friends from college, so I'm already thinking about going out! That inspired my "dresses for date night" polyvore set below.

All the dresses featured are under $100. Additionally, all the shoes are under $30! I know...what a steal.

Enjoy!

What's your fave ensemble for date night...or girls night out...or ?

New Shopping Site Discovery...Papayaclothing.com

While I was surfing the endless shopping options online, I ran into papayaclothing.com. Much to my delight it reminds me a bit of lulus.com crossed with Forever 21's Love21 line with a touch of GoJane.com.

Now, maybe I'm just late to the party, but I have never surfed Papaya's site before. And even though it looks like they snatched up Hef's twins from the Playboy mansion to model their clothing, I found some very cute items. Sure there is a lot of ruching and ruffles to many of their items, but keep your eye on the prize, I promise there is cuteness in there. Prices roughly range from $10-$20 for tops and $15-$30 for dresses...super affordable. I can't comment directly about the quality, as I've never ordered from there.

Here's a mini Polyvore set that features a few cute Papaya items. This could be a good website to check for those trendy pieces that you really don't want to invest to much cash in.

What do you think of Papayaclothing.com?

$75 Special: Black and White and Grey All Over

Ah, the recession. Many of us are feeling the pinch of the economy...ah, who am I kidding...the economy is kicking me in the arse. Many clothing lines have been slashing prices and offering cheaper alternatives to their $250 jeans and $500 pumps.

However, Forever21 has been offering up affordable duds for years now. Are they made of high quality fabric and will last for years? No. Are they trendy and cute? Yes. So today I have offered up two professional, work looks for under $75 each, all furnished by Forever21.

I highly the doubt that the shoes chosen are comfortable for more than six seconds, but you get my point. Affordable and trendy CAN coexist.

Happy Saturday!
