Ask and you shall receive! Lauren commented on my last This Week in Fashion post saying that one of my outfits deserved a full outfit post. I agreed and happily obliged! I always feel so good when I wear this blazer. I hunted on eBay for months to find it in 2005 after Emma Watson wore it. I finally found it that Christmas and then last year I had to find another one because I grew out of the or

Today we have a Dress for Less request from reader Zuley! She asks, "I need a Valentines dress for Reno. I do not know exactly what would be good for the place but skater type dresses usually look good on me. Anything like THESE (1, 2, 3) would be nice... HELP!" Her budget is $50 so I did some sale shopping at ASOS ;) 1, 2 and 4 and 6 are my favorites :) 1. ASOS - $17.54 (reg $62) 2. River

Today we have a Requested Dress for Less from Bethan! She says, "I'm looking for a formal dress like this [see image] that's quite 20s style and lace. It doesn't matter what store but my budget is £200. It has to be floor length and quite expensive looking."  Quite the challenge but I think I managed to find some great options for her...except one is over budget. But it's hard to find a pr

Today we have a Dress for Less requested by Jaymee! She wanted me to find this Fall 2011 Jason Wu dress in a bright color with the slit!  I tried to find inexpensive options but I threw in a gorgeous expensive one too. It was also hard to find dresses with slits that still had the correct look down at the bottom...but I assume a tailor would be able to add a slit, maybe. The colors got a bit

Last week my lovely friend Emily (of Ruby Slipper Journeys) asked for my help in finding a similar sweater to this Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony Cropped Crew Neck Pullover. She didn't have a specific price but asked that it be, "a grey, pullover cropped sweater (it has to be cropped as a lot of my dresses are high waisted). It doesn't have to be cheaper, well, not cheaper than the sale pr

Last week the lovely Lisa requested some close-up shots of my No.704b. Booties that I got at DSW last May [meaning 2010] for $20! (regularly about $200) They are definitely one of my favorite pairs of shoes so I'm glad to post some shots of them! They have already seen a full year of service and I know I'll have them for years to come! So this is going under my Favorite Things category as well! C

My friend Koatha requested that I find a cheaper version of the Free People skirt that Vicky from Bikinis and Passports wore in this post, but as a dress.  This was another difficult one, as always, ha ha...you guys sure know how to stump me. I'm not sure what the skirt retails for so I just made sure it was under $100CAD. I think the Forever 21 dress is the closest match, and it just happen

Jenna requested a dress for less this past weekend for a very special day: Hi, I'm looking for a dress for less for my wedding/honeymoon going away outfit. I need a cute ensamble for leaving the wedding hotel/driving to london/plane ride/arrival in Orlando for my honeymoon! It needs to be comfortable but I also need to make a bit of an effort for my new hubby! I'll need something to keep me w

I haven't had a requested Dress for Less in a while so I was quite excited to help out Anna with her request: I need a nice fashionable outfit that's cute and sexy at the same time, for the first day of university :) my budget is £50 :) any stores you like, I don't have any particular items, and I love the colours grey, white, black and pink :) although I don't mind any colours, apart from re

Earlier in the week I got a Dress for Less request from Natalia. She asks: "I would like you to create a cute but practical mom look with lots of color. I am a mom of two boys facing the challenge of daily looking cute, but also being able to play with my boys. I can shop at h&m, zara, mango and other random European shops. But as super cheap as possible! Thanks!" Since Natalia is a mother

Samantha requested that I find a cheaper version of this Victoria's Secret beaded jacket.  She didn't give a price so I just did less than what this one costs.  As usual this was a hard one, haha...you girls sure know how to stump me with these dress for lesses. Options. Some not pictured above. Victoria's Secret - $89.50 Petite Nue - $28.80 New York and Company - $29.97 (regular 59.95

Lady Gabby has requested that I find some Jeffrey Campbell like shoes for under $100! So I picked a few pairs and found some matches!  I wasn't sure what pairs she wanted so I chose random ones...haha.  The smaller bottom ones are Jeffrey, and the larger ones are not. Jeffrey Alicia $129.95 Jeffrey Pixie $179.95 Jeffrey Tick $200 R2 Wedges $49.95 (I have these and you have seen them at

Here are 2 recent Dress for Less Requests I've received.  First Emily asked me to find a similar dress to the Alexa Chung for Madewell velvet dress, under $100 (basically she said she wanted a velvet dress with a vintage-looking collar).  B a la Moda asked me to find similar flats to the Belle Sigerson Morrison ones featured in this post! The dress was quite hard...so I cheated a bit.

Sorry there was no post yesterday, life caught up with me & I didn't have time along with commenting on everyone's blogs & other junk I had to do. (I have to read 50 pages of Harry Potter every night to finish in time for the new movie premiere ;) I always reread the books before a movie comes out)  Also, this is pretty cool, my Harry Potter collection is featured in a book; Har

These requests have taken me a while to get to so I'm doing them all at once! First up is Sjanna who wanted me to create a look with these fun blue pants, difficult but I hope I did okay! Since the pants are a bit wild and crazy, I made a wild and crazy look, but kept it classy (I hope...)! Sweater: Forever 21 $19.80 | Bag: ASOS $25.28 | Necklace: Forever 21 $4.80 Necklace 2: Forever 21 $4.80 |

Wow, Requests for Dress for Less posts have been POURING in! I'm going to start separating them out a bit now, so there will be a little bit of a wait before the next one (maybe one a week like I used to do with regular Dress for Less posts) but never fear, I will do them all!  But right now here's a double dose of Dress for Less! Anyway, this next request is from Rebecca from See You in Sw

Quite a challenge, but as you all know, challenges are what I LIVE for! ;)  I tried to find a variety of

This must be a record, three Dress for Less requests in a row!  This next request is from Leonie,  I hope she likes it! :D (I gave two options for shoes, I prefer the heels, but flats might be better for a lot of walking...and easier on the wallet. I was also going to do some accessories...but ran out of moola because of the pretty heels ;) ) Might you find an autumn outfit for me which

Last week I got aDress for Less request from museumgirl and here is what she asked: "This isn't exactly a dress for less...but do you own any cropped pants? I've been wanting to jump on this trend for a while, but I couldn't find affordable ones until now! I bought the blue and tan cropped pants from Old Navy. http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=5382&vid=1&pid=771971&scid

Here's a Dress for Less request from StylisHedForeVer, she asked, "Can you pls help me find the Birkin bag for much less than it is? I've been on the hunt for the bag for way too long and i hope you can help out." Another challenging one, but here we go, I picked out a couple options; of course none are as awesome as the Birkin. Birkin Bag - Too gastly to say Paul's Boutique $92 (just take off t
