This weekend my roommate and I had a lovely Sunday full of relaxation. We woke up late and then went to lunch at Jimmie's of Savin Rock. I got blacked tilapia, mmmm!! After we ate we went for a walk on the boardwalk and took some pictures! [Sorry for the photo overload, ha ha] Click to enlarge.

Today I decided to add a little twist to my usual Dress for Less feature! I am making an outfit for $100 not counting the cost of one central piece: The Alexander Wang Freja Booties. I was seriously considering buying these babies when they landed on the site a couple weeks ago, but they are $270, so I will be good and resist.
Boots: Alexander Wang via The Outnet $270
Blouse $25.61
Pants $27.44
Purse $27.44
TOTAL: $350.49
TOTAL WITHOUT SHOES: $80.49
Should I do more posts like this? I'd pick one designer piece that is really unique and fun and create an outfit around it with those pieces adding up to under $100. You guys could even send in pieces for me to feature!
Also, Shop It To Me is having an AWESOME contest where you can win a Marc Jacobs bag, Rebecca Minkoff bag, Christian Louboutin shoes, or Jimmy Choo shoes! To win all you have to do is sign up, enter the contest, then invite your friends to join for extra entries.

Guess what, guys...I'm doing an individual outfit post!!! Is this a sign of the apocalypse?! ;) I wore this yesterday, I got quite a lot of compliments at work, don't you enjoy when that happens?
I am SO in love with these Free People jeans, they are PERFECTION and fit like a glove! They are an amazing dark wash with no fading or rips and they have a great flare! The best part is they were only $30 instead of $100, oh how I love Marshalls! The only problem is, since I'm so short, I can only wear them with my super high heels, like these Burberry's from The Outnet. This Express top is also amazing, I'm so glad I had a coupon which subsequently made me go into the store. I ended up with this and the purple top I wore a couple weeks ago. This has two of my favorite colors in it: maroon & purple! (though in these photos the maroon looks more red)
I felt so awkward taking these photos so if you can tell, sorry! Our neighbors kept going in and out of the house and I felt like they were watching me...AHH! If my roommate was taking my pictures we could have just had fun and laughed while doing it, but since I was using a tripod it would be a bit weird for me to laugh with a tripod ;)

I'm hoping to do a post like this at least once a week, or maybe even twice depending on how I feel.

I was going to do three separate posts for these last collections but I figured I'd do them at once so I can post some Spring 2012 collections, ha ha. Sorry I'm killing you guys with fashion week pictures, but I can't help it!
Erdem I could have sworn I posted these when the collections first came out but I realized I didn't! I am SO in love with these floral prints since they are darker these looks can also work well into the fall and winter. I love how even the shoes have the floral print, but it is not over the top which makes them totally wearable.
Mulberry - I am very glad that socks in sandals/booties is still "in." I would still have worn them that way because I still like it, but its always fun when stuff is still in style, ha ha. I love how this Mulberry collection is girly, edgy, put together and yet still fun. Its a mix of so many different things that a lot of different girls would want to wear.
DKNY - I am a huge DKNY fan and I LOVE this collection. I would definitely wear all of these! One of my favorite colors to wear is burgundy and this collection was full of it! YES! Who else is excited that one of the major fall colors is burgundy? *raises both hands*
I know a lot of people hate when bloggers only do inspiration posts instead of outfit posts but I don't have the resources or time to do huge awesome outfit posts every day. It is a bit depressing, BUT I think I'm going to try to take time to do at least one special outfit post per week, we'll see how that goes, hopefully I can find the time. But I will make sure to do more dress for less posts as well, remember you can still request a dress for less (or general outfit)!

Today I decided to feature a fashion-ish related movie! Model Behavior was a Disney Channel Original Movie back in 2000. Sadly it's not available on DVD and I am DYING to own it since it is one of my favorite movies from when I was younger...hopefully Disney figures out that fans want this movie.
Alex Burroughs is a shy, insecure girl who, while helping her father with his catering business at a party, meets Janine Adams, the teen model of the time. Meanwhile, Janine is fed up with her mother Deirdre not being home when she has her first book signing, because her little brother Max is going on a publicity tour. Through a strange coincidence the two girls realize they look so much alike that they decide to swap places for a whileThe movie stars Maggie Lawson as Alex and Janine and Justin Timberlake as Jason. Sadly Justin COULD NOT act when he was in this movie, happily he has improved with time. But it is so funny to watch how bad he is in this movie, makes me giggle.
Sadly I couldn't even find the trailer, but the movie is available on YouTube so you can watch Part 1 below (the rest of the movie is with the same user)
This has been a lovely week. We had great weather AND we got internet at my new house! It has been so nice having it back after a month of just using my iPad...I still haven't watched normal TV yet (except Project Runway last night) because I'm trying to get through all the seasons of Gilmore Girls (which I have already seen a million times). I started watching about a disc a day when I moved in and I finished Season 5 last night, so by the end of the weekend I should be done!

On Tuesday I was a VERY bad girl. As we all know the Missoni for Target collection came out. I had been planning on going to Target before work but stupidly forgot so when I got to work a little early I checked out the site, but it was down due to high volume hits. But I just left the page open in case it came back. When it did I scoured the site as fast as I could adding pieces to my cart, but when I went to edit my cart everything disappeared. Then the site crashed. Again. Finally it came back and once again I found the pieces I wanted, added them to my cart, and proceeded to checkout. It worked this time!! (then it crashed again after I checked out, luckily I made it in time) I also checked 2 Targets on my way home from work and they were all WIPED OUT, nothing was left...it was quite sad. I did get some of the bag clips though for $5, ha ha, that was one of the few home things left (no throws sadly...)
I bought 4 things but I don't think I am keeping it all. I assume some won't fit, some will look bad or I will change my mind. But with my luck I will love it all and not want to return anything or nothing will work. They were supposed to arrive on the 19th, and now its pushed back to the 26th...UGH! So annoying!! But I shouldn't complain, at least I got stuff. UPDATE: AHH! Another email just now saying it wont be until October 3rd, I am SO mad right now.
I bought:
Also, someone I work with bought 2 pairs of the purple flats because she wasn't sure what size would fit her, luckily we have the same size feet so she offered the other pair to me! I love having people at work who like fashion as much as I do! (she also got the same dress I bought, how funny is that?)
Did you manage to score anything?!

It's been a while since my last It's All in the Details post so I figured I would revive it! Today I'm featuring the Fall 2011 Chloé collection, which is GORGEOUS! This collection was full of different colors, prints and textures which I found really interesting. How about you? Did you like this collection?
I really want the first look (first two photos), it is perfection! And I want a bunch of other pieces too, but sadly they are all way out of my price range.
