Reader Request: Anthropologie Good For The Sole Heels


I got this request from Julia this week,

I love a certain pair of Anthro shoes and wonder if you might be able to find a cheaper alternative? And what sort of outfit might you wear these with?


Good For The Sole Heels - Anthropologie - $78.00

I didn't find any exact look-a-likes, but I did find a few different options that I think are contenders.


1 - Suedette Buckle Strap Heels - Forever 21 - $25.80
2 - Qupid Womens Finella-223 - $32.00 (Orig. $44.97)
3 - Elastic Wrap Platform Shoe - Rare Fashion - £20.00 (Orig. £69.00)
4 - Koffee Banded Shootie - Payless - $26.99

I think my favorites are 2 + 4. Which option is your favorite?

And, I am going to open the second question to you guys, what sort of outfit might you wear these with? Leave your ideas below.

Reader Request: Katie Home's Dress


I got this request from Danielle yesterday,

I love your blog!

I was wondering: can you or your readers help me track down a cheaper version of the Ralph Lauren dress Katie Holmes is wearing here?

Thank you!

Your devoted reader,
Danielle K.


I can see why Danielle likes this dress so much. The color and cut are both spot on. I spied this dress at Old Navy and think it has a similar (if more casual) feel:


Striped Drop-Waist Dress - Old Navy - $29.94

EDIT: After reader, Courtney, left a comment about a Delia's dress, Danielle herself spotted this fantastic find: 
Vintage Eyelet Dress - Delia's - $44.50

What do you think? Is this dress a decent match? Have you seen anything similar to Katie Holme's dress? Leave your thoughts below.

Inspired: Talbots {blouses + bows}


A few weeks ago, I made my first attempt at a Julianne Moore Tablots catalog look. In the meantime I haven't been able to get this look off my mind.

 
The blouse, the bow... I can't stop drooling. So, I decided to do a budget version:


Twist Front Blouse - ASOS - $34.07 (Orig. $57.38)
Belted Peg Leg Pants - ASOS - $25.10 (Orig. $53.79
Open Side Suedette Heels - Forever 21 - $24.80
total: $83.97

Blanqi Bodystyler Review


The ladies at Blanqi were kind enough to send me one of their maternity under bust support tanks. I am head over heels for it. And this is my very first video review:




Can you tell my husband did the filming? The extended zoom into my bust should be your first clue. ;)

Here are a few highlights:


This really is my favorite maternity product - ever.

Make sure to check out their product:
blanqi.com
nordstrom.com/maternity

PS - I have to give a shout out to my brother in law, Mike, who let me borrow his video camera, imported the video, and sent me the embeddable link. I honestly couldn't have done this post without him.

Inspired: Talbots {tradition + imagination}


As I mentioned last week, Jamie sent me a request to do an inspired outfit based on this look:


{worth $270.30}

Here is my version:


Gold Foil Skirt - Talbots - $48.29
Sparkle Pullover - Madewell - $39.99 (Orig. $68.00) (there is also this cheaper option)
Ruffle Open Toe Stiletto - Forever 21 - $22.80
total: $111.08


I switched the colors of the top and skirt, but I think it gives a similar feel. It was really difficult to find a pretty full skirt for much cheaper than the original.

Spied: Raglan Sleeve Chevron Stripe Sweater


To quote a random Rom Com from the a few years back, "That Jaclyn Smith knows what she's doin'." This sweater is part of Ms. Smith's line at Kmart and I love it.


Raglan Sleeve Chevron Stripe Sweater - Kmart - $17.49 (Orig. $24.99)

I would possibly get it a size up, and pair it with some dark wash skinnies and a colored flat.
