NY Fashion Week Inspired Looks for Less

By: Carmen Ordonez

Another New York Fashion Week has come and gone and many of us were left coveting the looks that went down the runway. But one thing I wasn’t coveting is the hefty price tag that comes along with the looks. So as your resident budget fashionista, I’ve gone on the hunt to find some runway inspired looks for less—your wallet can thank me later.

Designer J. Mendel featured several edgy and figure flattering dresses down the runway, including this A-line leather and lace corset dress. To get the look, without going too daring, consider this Short Jersey Dress with Full Lace Skirt from David’s Bridal. The V-neck will help elongate your neck and provide a slimming effect.

It was all about the glamour for the fashion house of Venexiana during New York Fashion Week, including this metallic dress with rosette detail. For an inspired look for less, check out this Fit and Flare Dress with Organza Rosette Detail from David’s Bridal. The fit and flare shape hugs your curves in all the right places and is sure to turn heads. It also comes in five different colors including black, pink and blue. Oh and did I mention it’s under $200—total score!

White and gold was seen all over the runways, including this number from Badgley Mischka. Chanel your inner golden goddess for less with this Sleeveless Key Hole Print Dress. The X shaped waist will help highlight the narrowest part of your waist and give you a stunning silhouette.

Valentine’s Day Date Outfits on a Budget

By Carmen Ordonez

Trying to decide what to wear for your Valentine’s Day date? Well not to worry, I’ve put together some outfit ideas that are sure to impress your sweetie and not to mention they’re also easy on the wallet.

Under: $100

Nothing screams Valentine’s Day quite like a red dress. This strapless sateen dress from David’s Bridal is simple, yet chic and would be perfect for a dinner date. Pair it with some black or nude pumps.  Since the dress is strapless, I also recommend adding a statement necklace to add some visual interest to the neckline.

Style 39261

This dress is flirty and feminine, great for any Valentine’s Day date. I also love the all over lace, which is a huge trend right now. Sashes are also all the rage (Michelle Obama caused a sensation with the sash she wore during the Presidential Inauguration). Well this flower sash adds the perfect finishing touch to the dress.

Style: 3231BZ3B

Under $150

You’ve heard of the phrase “dress to impress” well this one-shouldered bandage dress does just that.   It’s sexy and sophisticated and the bandage detail creates a stunning silhouette.  It’s a steal for just $129.

5 Key Classic Wardrobe Must-Haves

By Carmen Ordonez

With the start of the New Year, there’s nothing better than starting off with an organized closet (and getting rid of clothes you do not wear anymore). But as much as trends come and go, there are always those classic staples that seem to stand the test of time. Here are 5 key pieces that every woman should have in her wardrobe.

Leather Jacket: A leather jacket in a neutral color such as black or brown never goes out of style. It can also be dressed up or down, from jeans and a t-shirt for a casual look, to pairing it with a cocktail dress (like this sequined dress from David’s Bridal) for an evening look.

Dress Style 51279

Jeans: Since their start in 1873, jeans have become a classic must-have for all women. Look for jeans in a dark wash and a cut that flatters your body type. A boot-cut jean for example is a style that goes great with several body types.

White Button-Down Shirt: I love a great white-button down shirt.  You can wear it an endless amount of ways and regardless of your age, it never goes out of style. It’s also the perfect canvas for you to accessorize however you want, such as pairing it with this Two-Row Shell Pearl Necklace from David’s Bridal.

Necklace Style G1532NSS

LBD “Little Black Dress”: It really doesn’t get much more classic than the little black dress.  Look for a black dress in a simple, yet elegant cut that can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. This lace cap sleeve black dress from David’s Bridal is the perfect choice!

Dress Style XS3393

Cardigan Sweater: A cardigan is another versatile piece that can be combined in so many ways, from jeans to a dress. An animal print cardigan is also a great option to add a modern twist to this classic piece.

As you can see, the key with several of these pieces is to look for neutral colors such as black, brown and dark blue, since they can be combined with several colors. With these key pieces you’ll be on your way to having a versatile closet. You’ll also save money since you’ll have pieces for many years to come.
