Cheap Ways To Beat the Recession!

I don't know about you, but I get pretty annoyed with some of the media attention to "saving" money during the recession, with suggestions like saving and only buying one $1100 skirt. Gag. It's called, I'm always on a budget, because I am young with no savings and tragically hip, and it's always chic, even if the Fed says we're in a recession. Lucky for you, my method of quick, cheap updates is tried and true - buy cute, bright, flexible pieces that can be worn in a variety of ways. Oh, and never pay over $100. Imagine all the different ways you can wear cute leopard print tights or a floral hair accessory. If you can't, I'll explain in the slideshow! Happy hunting!

Resolve to Look Fab When Battling the Bulge!

Everyone knows that the first day of the year is a great time to set goals and get your rear, finances, or organization in gear. A pretty typical goal is to lose weight and get totally fit. Maybe your goals are purely health-related, but maybe you just want to be able to fit into designer samples. Either way, I've found some super-cute workout clothes sure to make you want to show them off at the gym. You'll definitely be shaking your tailfeather in PrAna's Sabin Racerback Tank and Izzie Pants. Don't be afraid to buy a few outfits - nothing is more valuable than your health and feeling (and looking!) great! Check out my SLIDESHOW for plenty of cute work out clothes!

Counter The Marshmallow Effect With Stylized Puffer Coats!

Staying warm in the winter can be a big challenge. In below-freezing conditions, how is a fashionista to maintain her hotness? The answer: stylized puffer coats, which take the marshmallow out of the equation with leaner silhouettes. Juicy Couture created the Lady Puffer Coat with Fur Trim, which manages to do warm and elegant all at once. I also love the pop-tones of Calvin Klein's Quilted Down Jacket, which would look just stunning against the snow. Check out my SLIDESHOW for plenty of puff-tastic options!

Lightweight Scarves to Top Off Your Cold Weather Style

So the weather outside isn't quite frightful yet, and retailers are already dangling gorgeous scarves in front of our faces.

Whether it's a solid in a gorgeous color, like Nordstrom's Cashmere Tissue-Weight Scarf or something with a fab pattern like this great Calero Wrap from Anthropologie, you're sure to find a great lightweight scarf that warms you up - just enough. And don't worry, it's-already-cold climate-dwellers, we've got some great cozy options coming soon! Check out our SLIDESHOW for plenty of scarf-tastic options!
