Read MoreThe Asymmetrical Dress: Spring Fashion Trend
What: Asymmetry returns as a the dress silhouette for spring . . .
What We Say: Like most of the trends for spring, this one is really nothing new—asymmetrical/one shoulder dresses have been hovering at the edge of the fashion radar for awhile now, but when Michelle Obama selected the style for her inauguration ball gown, she pretty much guaranteed the trend a place in the spring fashion statement rotation. While we’re not sure this look is for everyone (Mrs. O, after all, has some pretty fab shoulders, as the style requires) we think if you have the physique, it’s totally worth ...
The Ruffle Pump: Spring Fashion Trend
“SOME PRODUCTS ARE NO LONGER BEING SOLD”
What: Feminine ruffles soften the edges of the classic pump this spring . . .
What We Say: As much as we stand by the classic pump, a little fun update never hurts—and this spring, the embellishment du jour is the ruffle. The downside? Next season it will NOT be the ruffle, meaning we’ll indulge but won’t spend more than we have to (we’d suggest spending no more than $30 on a pair). The great thing about an embellished shoe, from our budget fashion standpoint, is that it takes the pressure off the rest of your wardrobe—slip into your basics (a ...

Storewide Sale (sorta) at Banana Republic Factory Stores
What: Between April 3rd and April 16th, you can shop “guilt-free” at all Banana Republic factory stores. Save 30% on single-item purchases, 40% on two items, and a nifty 50% on three items. Simple and straightforward storewide sale - just the way we like it.
What We Say: If only we all lived near a Banana Republic Factory Store. While we’re pretty enthused about this sale - it’s hard to hate BR and it’s time to shop for summer clothes - we wonder what kind of savings we’ll get if we buy more than three items?
If you’ve taken advantage of these deals, let us know how well you cleaned ...
Read MorePython: Spring 09 Accessories Trend
For every season, it seems, there is an animal print—and this spring, python is it. After a couple of seasons of giraffe and zebra (which we liked fine, but what are we, zoo animals?), we’re feeling this one—snakeskin is, after all, sexy and sleek and after a long winter of feeling schlubby, that’s just what we need.
Our favorite part? It’s the go-to print in accessories, meaning we can pick up a belt, pump or handbag (so much cheaper than a new dress) and update a whole range of pieces we already have, for less. A note: Angela picked up the Mossimo pumps shown here, and can vouch ...
Read MoreFlutter Sleeve Tops: Spring 09 Fashion Trend
“THESE PRODUCTS ARE NO LONGER BEING SOLD”
Okay, we’re not even going to try to hold back here—we love, love, love a flutter sleeve blouse. Love. Arms, after all, are a sensitive area for a lot of women and when we have to break out the short sleeves there’s really no option that’s more flattering to most arm types than the flutter. It’s also unarguably feminine without being so cute that you can’t wear it if you’re over the age of, say, 12.
In this economy, any pieces we add this spring will have to be versatile, and the flutter sleeve blouse fits that bill too, found on pieces ...
Spa Week: Budget Spa Treatments
What: Every year, spas around the US (and Canada, too), collaborate for Spa Week. Each spa offers up a selection of luxurious treatments for cheap (well, relatively speaking). For 2009, Spa Week is April 13th to 19th. But don’t wait to book… appointments fill up fast. Find out what spas are participating on SpaWeek.com and then call up a nearby spa and set up your $50 massage, manicure, facial, or bikini wax.
What We Say: Everyone needs a little pampering every now and then - especially if you’re attending or starring in a spring wedding - and Spa Week is definitely the time to ...
Read MoreStripes: Spring 09 Fashion Trend
“SOME PRODUCTS ARE NO LONGER BEING SOLD”
Wayyy back in September, we wrote about the prevalence of stripes on the runway for Spring. Of course stripes are nothing new (they popped up everywhere last summer, too) but the most modern takes include black and bold colors, and/or skinny stripes, on everything from tops to dresses to accessories.
Body conscious is the silhouette for spring, and for some of us “stripes” and “body conscious” are two elements that are diametrically opposed (read: make us want to run for the hills), but there are options that are both on trend AND flattering ...
