It's that time wonderful time of year right between fall and winter. Summer is gone gone, fall is barely hanging on and winter is swiftly approaching. These past couple of weeks I have been on my Marie Kondo and purging my wardrobe as I do twice a year. After purging, I did an inventory of what I needed to add back and realized I'm missing some key fall/winter pieces. I made a list of things I need and think you need to make sure these things are included in your wardrobe for fall and winter.
1. Hair Accessories
2. Oversized Blazer
3. Statement Coat
4. Printed Tights
5. Boots

I am the shade queen and I own upwards of 30+ pairs of sunglasses. I am so happy that it's finally starting to get warm and sunny here in LA and with that being said I am sharing 20 Sunglasses under $20. Just to get your sunglasses collection right for the rest of the Summer!
I usually get the majority of my sunglasses from Forever 21, Aliexpress or Santee Alley here in LA. But each vendor pretty much sells the same items. Take a look at 20 Shades Under $20!
It's the return of the cowl neck. The 90s style made a come back on the runway and in fast fashion. You can't shop at any store these days without stumbling upon the trend. I remember wearing cowl neck tops in the early 2000s; it always made me feel real adultish. Classic and feminine, the bust-enhancing draped neckline adds glamour to tops, jumpsuits, slip dresses and gowns. Scroll down and shop my favorite cowl neck pieces.
The first day of Winter was less than a month ago but for most on the East Coast your probably confused to whether its Winter or Fall. Unfortunately for me the West Coast is getting cool and rainy weather. I'm so ready for the Spring and Summer I could just scream. But in normal form and fashion we wanted to equip you with 2019's Winter Must-Haves.
1. Puffer Scarf - Not your average scarf but it's totally a statement piece for just about any weather print.
2. Teddy Coat - The Teddy Coat is guarantees warmth all winter long and is so soft cuddly and adds a cozy touch to all looks.
3. Combat Boots - Soldier girl tell em!You need at least one pair in your wardrobe. Focus on finding army green, black or beige. Maybe even a pop of color like a yellow or white.
4. Beret -Berets are my favorite accessory, I have all colors. Though mostly wool, they are perfect all year long.
5. Classic Wool Jacket -The Classic Wool jacket is a closet staple and at this point if you don't already have one you should snag a neutral colored one. If you do have one already focus on getting a pop of color.
6. Over-the-Knee - I only have two pair in my wardrobe. I definitely wish I had more. My suggestions would be snakeskin print, black or maybe grey so that you can wear with just about anything.

When comes to clothes and shoes shopping, the top priority for me is COMFORT! I hate being restricted in the tummy area. I need freedom to drop it at any given moment. The parachute pants trend is definitely one that you should take part in. Your mom probably had a pair back in the day. Take a look at some inspiration and options below:

Lebron isn't the only one wearing short suits this spring/summer. If you don't know what I'm talking about check out ESPN. Menswear has been trending for the past few years and this time its shorts suits. This is the "it" spring trend that everyone can participate in no matter what. Wear it to brunch, date night, party or wherever else you feel like it. The great thing about a suit is that you can wear it multiple ways. Buy 1 outfit get 3. That's how I see it.
Are you joining in on the short suit trend? If so tag us in your pics so we can see how you styled yours.

Hey Frugal Shopaholics! It's that time again! If you loved Christen's blog post on the Chunky Sneaker trend then this post is for you. I wanted to take that post one step further and highlight the Balenciaga Look for LESS!
This look for less is under $100 of course and the Balenciaga Triple S Sneaker is well over $800 and If you're anything like me then sometimes paying almost $1,000 isn't in the cards. Check out the look for WAY less below:
As winter approaches and it's getting colder it is time to pull out our heavier jackets and coats. Shearling coats are especially popular choice this season. It's one of the top coats trends so far this year. Tons of designers from Proenza Schouler to Yeezy featured shearling coats in their fall/winter 2018 collection. You find a shearling in any style or color you like. you like. My biggest fashion regret was not buying the green shearling I saw earlier in the year from Boohoo, but I did snag a classic black shearling (pictured in red below) during Black Friday at Asos. If you have not added a shearling to your wardrobe check out these below.
The 80's are back. Ruffles, pleats, fringe, and leather are all 80's trends that are coming back into play. Leather pants for fall and winter are the move. They can be colored, striped, embellished, straight, flared, cropped, etc. Pair this trend with a denim jacket and sneakers or pull out your fur, favorite heels and hit the town. The best part of this trend is that any and everybody can wear them, from the most conservative to edgiest of styles. Check out some leather pants we think you should have in your closet.
I remember hating all things frilly and ruffled as a child. Just thinking about a frilly Easter dress is making me itch right now. Ruffles and frills are making a return into my adult life, but not as cringe worthy this time around. Ruffles were BIG during NYFW. Now all the designers and fast fashion stores are incorporating this trend into their collections for spring and summer. See some of my fav ruffled and frilly pieces below.
I wanted to share some of the top trends YOU should add to your wardrobe, and frugal options of course! A few of these trends are trends you may have seen years ago, but we all know that fashion and trends go through cycles. If you are into fashion like I am you'll make an effort to get this stuff in your wardrobe this season. Trend #1: Puffer Coats- I touched on puffer coats in our recent "What's The Trend" post. I remember having one when I was a little girl and to see this trend make its way back around has me very excited. I have 4 puffer coats in my wardrobe right now!
Trend #2: Velour & Velvet Sweatsuits- Don't you remember wearing these in high school?? I sure do and I actually bought two velvet sweatsuits from Forever 21. I plan on styling it with a leather moto jacket with my "Look For Less" Yeezy ankle boots.
Trend #3: Metallic Anything- Metallic adds pizazz to any simple look and it's in just about any retail store. You can also pair it with my next trend, a Band Tee!
Trend #4: Tour Merch Tees- Two years in a row band tees are still staple pieces in people's wardrobes. Check out Forever 21, H&M and Boohoo for frugal band tee options.
Trend #5: ORANGE is the new black- whether its construction orange or jailbird orange... you need it in your wardrobe in 2017! You'll stand for sure.

Many designers incorporated pantsuits in their fall 2016 runway
presentations. And with the potential next POTUS being a women who rocks a mean
pantsuit, this trend is right on the money. So, get your HRC on and get you a pantsuit, but
with this trend pantsuits are not just for work. You wear them for play too; rock
your pantsuit with a crop top, no top or even sneakers. See some of my pantsuit picks out below.
Fall is almost here and it’s time
to get our closets ready. A good blazer is a must have in any closet. The right
blazer can make a boring outfit pop. Now, I’ve been fawning over the Balmain Double Breasted Blazer since I
first saw it, however it’s out of my price range. But when the H&M x
Balmain collection came out I thought it was my chance to get it…NOT. The
jacket sold out in minutes. Ever since I have been on the hunt for a jacket
that looks similar and I found it! Check out the look for less below.
It is the top of wedding season and MissGuided couldn't have picked a better time to launch a new bridal wear collection called MissBrided. I thought this was genius. 'If you have to be a bride, be a cool one', says MissGuided. I have plans on getting married and having kids but unlike some brides I don't plan on breaking the bank so this collection would be right up my alley.
This collection is perfect for beach wedding or for that second gown for your reception. the collection is very affordable and chic and includes footwear, cocktail dresses and formal wear dresses for the bride, the bridesmaids and the attendees. My top two faves are shown below.
Hope this helps a bride or a friend of the bride on a budget! Happy Shopping! Sign up for ebates and get cashback coupons, deals and savings at your favorite stores! See the Deals of the Week page for additional sales!
