The Budget Fashionista

The Deal: Shopbop.com is a great online store for, well, everything--they have clothes, lingerie, swimsuits, shoes and handbags--all constantly discounted one way or another.

What We Say: Designer gear is a luxury that we can’t treat ourselves to every day, but shopbop.com makes it significantly easier on our wallets when we do. Since we don’t want one of our favorite shopping portals to be overlooked, we’re letting you guys know about some of their discounted merchandise. Check out what we’ve found.

Pictured: We think this chain strap dress from Alice+Olivia is drop-dead gorgeous. The miniscule chains are delicate, but the overall effect is spunky and edgy. The contradictions abound, but that’s what makes it hot. Now $242.00, down from $484.00.

The Bing bang faceted moon ring consists of a oversized gold “moon” sitting on your fingers. The effect is very glamorous, and since big cocktail rings are trendy right now, you might want to give this one a try. $66.00, down from $132.00.

If you want to get the flower child look, check out this tie-dye dress by Binetti. The colors are earthy, which makes it even more of a powerful statement. Tie dye is also coming back this summer--experiment with your colors. Now $138.00, down from $276.00.
