http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=5039&vid=1&pid=702804&scid=702804002
BUT $60 bucks is outta my price range, suggestions on something similar?
Here are some great (cheaper) alternatives, Lyndsey!
Want something pretty for Valentine’s Day but you don’t want to spend a lot of money? (Because, let’s face it, these things aren’t meant to stay on very long anyway.)
Here are a few options I found for under $30—and none are cheesy red satin! Win.
The problem I’ve found with leather jackets is appropriate and chic ways to wear them. They can look too costume-y sometimes and it’s hard to find outfits that incorporate them casually. Here’s one outfit that manages to do it!
Above are my favorite pieces from Sonia Rykiel’s line for H&M. I haven’t seen it in person, so I’m just going off looks here. I was a bit underwhelmed, but there are some nice things available. Best of all is the kids stuff—it’s adorable.
I couldn’t find a price list, so I can’t provide you with those details, but please e-mail me if you know where I can see one.
What do you think?
thatgirlnamedsmash asked: I have a style question about watches. What kind of watches are 'in' these days? I know for awhile it was white watches, then oversized watches. Just curious. I haven't worn one since high school and feel like I should just buy a classic one, but wanted to check out the trends too! Your BFF posted a cute one a few weeks ago!
Watch trends are pretty fluid, but I have to say—I’m not sorry to see the white watch trend die down. There are still lots of white watches on the market, but I feel like their trendiness will wind down soon. (No pun intended, I promise!)
Oversized watches are still “in”, so to speak, but I’d focus on two other current trends that I love:
For this post, I’ll just focus on watches in a mid-range price point (below $300).
Gold watches have a great timeless quality and they have the bonus of looking vintage. Gold watches can look cheap, so make sure you get one that’s got an elegant face and high-quality links on the strap.
Here are three that I love:
Watches that look like bracelets are the perfect multi-tasking accessory. Some are more fun/funky while others are quite elegant. Another bonus: you can find versions for almost any price.
DC ladies!
If you haven’t been to Annie Creamcheese in Georgetown, it is worth your visit! (Especially with this sale!)
P.S. My sister got a great maxi dress there for $10 this weekend.
I love Reese. Adorable and always chic. I wear a version of this outfit at least once a week and it’s never steered me wrong.
Kate Bosworth always looks great—cannot say enough good things!
This would be the perfect brunch outfit—just something comfy to wear while sipping coffee and hanging out with friends (or your lover).
P.S. Guarantee Sara’s gonna want those boots. :)
Put your wallets away now! Are they hidden? Okay, now you can go:
Piperlime is having its Best-of-Boots sale with most between $20-$80.
I’m getting the wallet itch.
Tanya and I are going to—as she put it—be twinsies!
I love the versatility of more casual boots like these.
Although it will be a few days before I get the boots and a few months before I can wear shorts, I planned out some outfits to wear! (Or approximations of them, anyway. I don’t have $160 jeggings. My two pairs were $10 and $25, respectively.)
I’ve been wanting these things for a while now. Glad I finally bit the bullet.

P.P.S. You can totally tell what color palette I wear all the time. Shout out to brown, taupe, navy blue, gray and black.
