I know this might be a little hard but could you find a jacket simular to this one:

that can be ordered in Canada aswell? (I saw one on Forever21 but their orders are limited to US) You can find the rest of the outfit aswell if you want lol, I might like the belt and bag. I'm not really that picky to prices either.

If anyone saw today's episode of E! News Weekend, you'll remember the week's "Trend-E!" were bows, featuring Paris Hilton in a pair of black and white Marc Jacob slide wedges. Guess what? I own that pair.
When a celebrity wears something you own, it only confirms that your style is...at the least, good. So, I decided to find exact celeb styles at good prices, shall we take a look?

Hello =) I just joined basically because this community seems awesome. I like searching for cheap items even if I'll probably never buy them. It's absoloutely fun and addicting.

Anyway, I was looking into the Macy's website, they've got some nice things on clearance.

Http://www.macys.com

It's reasonably cheap, with a few expensive things here and there...heh.

Calvin Klein Jeans Tiered Baby-Doll Camisole

$16.99

My opinion: This top is very cute, and I love the color. Plus, Calvin Klein for $17? You absoloutely would want to buy it.

TOMMY HILFIGER Striped Gathered Cap-Sleeve Tee

$28.99

My opinion: Pair it with jeans and a big belt of a couple of pins and I bet it will look fabulous.

Calvin Klein Jeans Stretch Boot-Cut Jean

$19.99

My opinion: Great price, but If I must say, I think the rise is a little high. If you wear a slightly longer shirt, like a tunic though, I bet it will make your legs look super skinny.

INC International Concepts® Cashmere Crewneck Cabled Sweater

$58.99

My opinion: Okay...so it's a little more than cheap. But it IS cashmere, and the colour is pretty gorgeous. Might look very simple and clean with just dark wash jeans and a brown vintage belt.

- - - - - - - - -

Lastly, I found this GORGEOUS, floral BCBG dress, but it's quite expensive, so post any alternatives!

BCBG Floral-Print Dress

$124.50

My opinion: So pretty, but so costly!

Designer Bags: Buy, Borrow, or Bluff?

2006-03-13T03:57:00Z

The most coveted of all fashion items: the designer bag. Whether adorned with large initials, big buckles, or intricately designed patterns, we want these babies more than anything.
So what to do? I've searched around and found three different options of what you can do - alternatives to saving babysitting money for years, then using it on one purchase at Saks Fifth Avenue.

$$$: BUY
Okay, okay, we can figure this out. You can find a way to get those genuine handbags at discount prices. Here are some places to check out, with examples of course (because who doesn't love pictures?!)

HTTP://BLUEFLY.COM

BCBG Max Azria Emerald Velvet Clutch
$114.99
When going to Bluefly, I always check out the clearance section, then select "Prices: Low to High". This really narrows it down.

HTTP://INTRENDS.COM

Burberry Nova Check Sling Bag
$179.00
Professional website, organized sections, fantastic supply. I love it.

$$: BORROW
You could, also, just borrow a bag. Yes, there are places to borrow designer bags. There's a membership price, but the selection is incredible, and it's 4854027x better than buying every single gorgeous and "in" designer purse that you see.

HTTP://BAGBORROWORSTEAL.COM

Coach Signature Beaded Large Tote
$49.95/Monthly - "Princess"
Bag Borrow Or Steal has a special set-up, where there are different "levels". A "Trendsetter" will pay $19.95/Month and have access to all Trendsetter bags (eg: Juicy Couture, some Coach, JLo, Baby Phat, Calvin Klein, Dooney & Bourke). A "Princess" will pay $49.95/Monthly and have access to all Trendsetter and Princess bags (eg: Kate Spade, Fendi, Michael Kors). Lastly, a "Diva" will pay $99.95/Monthly and have access to all Trendsetter, Princess, and Diva bags (eg: Luella, Marc Jacobs, Chanel).

HTTP://FROMBAGSTORICHES.COM

Cynthia Rowley Motorcycle Bag
$19.90/Week
FBTR is very well-known, especially because you need no membership. It's a cool idea, there are amazing bags, and the collections are tasteful. A must-have for the bookmarks section.

$: BLUFF
The fake. A poorly made knock-off is evident to fashion buffs - whether it's the "Praada" on the side, or the G's on the fake Coach bag, you can totally tell. I went around and looked for the cheapest, most real looking fauxbag websites. And trust me, there was a lot to look through.

HTTP://123FASHION.NET

Louis Vuitton Replica White Pochette
$19.00
Not sure how I feel about this website, but the bag looks real enough.

HTTP://AAAREPLICAS.COM

Marc Jacobs Quilted Zip Clutch
$150.00
Yes, I know, these don't come cheap, but it's cheaper than the real deal, and they look exactlyyy alike. Best Replicas I've ever seen.

HTTP://BAGDESIGNS.NET

Chloe Purple Saddle Bag
$99.00
Reasonable price, authentic-looking. Grade AAAAA, apparently. Hm, well, try it out?!

ENJOY.

So You Wanna Be Lindsay Lohan?

2006-03-12T22:26:41Z

Lindsay Lohan, while strolling down the streets, boldly faces the paparazzi in many cute ensembles that would get any fashionista drooling! But for us... "normal" girls, we couldn't even afford those clothes in a lifetime!

So Viola! Here are some cheaper alternatives that are nearly identical to the real thing!

Starting from head to toe :

Framed Aviator Sunglasses
$12.00 in silver or brown @ Rampage

Mandarin Pleat Shirt
$17.80 in white or light yellow @ Forever 21

Treasure Necklace
$15.50 in silver @ American Eagle

Or you could go to Silver Jewelry Club for 100% free jewelry, with the exception of a 5.99 shipping, but finding what you want may be a bit harder. :D

Premium Boyfriend Jean
$29.80 in dark or medium denim @ Forever 21

Black Jean Belt
$12.99 in black @ Target

(I couldn't decide on what shoes, so here are two choices.)

Chinese Laundry Women's High Heel Boots
$40.00 in black, white, or viola @ Overstock

Bronx Easy Women's Boot
$30.00 in ice, mandorla, rosa, or cotto @ Overstock

Perlina Atlantis Double Strap Mini Flap Handbag
$54.99 in black, bronze, or aqua @ Overstock

I Have a Question?

2006-03-08T03:56:49Z

Hi Everyone! I'm Gemma & I just joined XD Anyways, I'm from Australia
and I was wondering if maybe sometimes you could add a section on "Australian Fashion". Also if its possible if I can have the currency trading rate ,meaning how many Australian dollars fit into 1 American Dollar?

You Guys have Been An Inspiration!

MWAH Gem xox

this is it.

Now, i may love fashion but i personally am more of a "punk/emo" dresser. So I've come up with my own cool little techniques to stay true to my style and still be fashionable and keep a little change in my pocket at the same time!

Now, i may love fashion but i personally am more of a "punk/grunge" dresser, and I'm a bit of a tomboy. So I've come up with my own cool little techniques to stay true to my style and still be fashionable at the same time!

Now, start off with any plain black belt or simple plain purse. Any color belt or purse will do will do. I prefer black or white though. Now this trick has been used for years to spice up wardrobes but not enough people mention it xD

Get your favorite band pins or even bottle caps and paste or pin them right to your belt or purse. It's a thrifty way of looking great and jazzing up jeans and a tee. I love doing this because I can represent my favorite bands and look magnifique while doing it.

Here's a few great pins I picked out. Search Ebay, Fredflare for great pins or get really thrifty and make them yourself!

I took 2 of the bands I like and simply searched ebay for pins of them. These will look great attached to a simple black belt. These pin sets were all under 3 dollars.

I searched Fredflare for these. These are for anyone feeling a little retro or that just *heart* preppier pins.

Nautical Pin Set-8.00

Rosy Pin Pack- 3.00

Pink Partridge Pin- 8.00

Broken Hearts Pin Pack- 5.00

Fancy Lady Pin Pack- 12.00

Electric Guitar Pins- 8.00

Librarian Pin- 9.00

And voila my dears! If you need any help finding blank belts or purses leave a comment and I'll help you out =)
