*The Last* Under $100

Do you ever find yourself coveting the off-duty outfits of the high fashion runway models? You can easily achieve their stylishly disheveled look on a limited budget, and I have an outfit here for you that I think does just that - for under $100, of course! Enjoy :)

We gave two blazer options - the piped military blazer when you're feeling a bit more Agyness Deyn, and a more classic black blazer when you're feeling a bit more Anja Rubik.

Also, models often opt out of heavy accessorizing because it's easier to switch out of their clothes when running from show to show without having to deal with tangled necklaces. They usually will carry a simple bag or tote in  a bright colour, or the season's "it" bag slung across their shoulder. Obviously for under $100, a $5,000 Valentino bag might break out budget ;)

1.) Brigit Mini Handbag (in Teal or Brown) - $23; forever21.com

2.) Metallic Piped Blazer (in Navy/Gold) - $33; forever21.com

3.) Open Front Blazer (in Charcoal) - $28; forever21.com

4.) BDG Sheer V-Neck Tee (in White) - $16; urbanoutfitters.com

5.) Destroyed Show-Stopper Jeans - $15; wetseal.com

6.) Brianda Slouched Boots (in Brown) - $33; forever21.com

Unfortunately, the bag puts us a little over budget, but you can of course just forgo the jeans and use you favourite skinnys, forgo the bag and just use your favourite slouchy hobo, or forgo the v-neck and just use your basic solid coloured tee.

Grand Total = $120 (with the Piped Blazer); $115 (with the Open Front Blazer)

Today's outfit is meant for the transition between summer and fall. We have combined one of our favourite fall "must haves", the blazer, with one of our favourite summer "must haves", the easy breezy dress. We were also inspired by the fairly recent D&G and Roberto Cavalli RTW shows, and wanted to pair together different and similar patterns together (think plaid on plaid, or florals with stripes). The blazer can transition seamlessly into your fall wardrobe while the dress can be put away until your next trip to the beach, because it can be used as a cover-up as well! We try show some multi-purpose garments so you can all get more bang for your buck, so to speak. So the next time you piece together your fall ensembles, remember that mixing and matching patterns are definitely in this season. 

Our Thought: 1.) The ring is a good accessory option, but will put you over your budget. 2) You can mix and match the two dress options and the two shoe options. The polka-dot shoe is more summery, while the plaid show is more fall-like. 3.) If you want a true-to-the-D&G style, pair the jacket with the plaid dress and the plaid shoes for a plaid overload!

Today's outfit is for those jet setters who are always seeking the ultimate airport outfit. Obviously, comfort is a big factor for those long plane rides and crowded airports, but it doesn't mean that it's an excuse for sloppiness. When it comes to choosing your outfit, choose solid, darker colours with a loose but not baggy fit. The key to achieving this look is simplicity. A cardigan is an airplane staple because it can be easily removed if the temperature is too stuffy, and can just as easily be thrown on if it gets too chilly. The stretch t-shirt in a stain-friendly colour is a practical choice because of those people in front of you who ALWAYS lean back too far and knock over your drink! Don't forget to break out the jeans - the ones we picked have a lean, straight leg but won't confine you like your skinny jeans, cause skinny jeans on a 6 hour flight to NY? No thanks! Lastly, ballet flats are ideal to get through security without having to readjust too much, as they take no time to lace or zip up, but still fashionably trendy (unlike the equally practical Ugg boots, but unlike these flats, Uggs are definitely not fashionable). So put on this versatile outfit, pile on your luggage, beat the crowds to the airport and have a nice flight!

An outfit for a formal summer date: this outfit will give you that boost of confidence (literally, in those heels!) that you usually need on a date, especially a first one. Remember that first dates are all about impressions, and you want to make sure that you don't make a bad impression - or too good of an impression (if you catch my drift). So we've decided to keep this look fashion forward with the mixing of the prints (think Dries Van Noten), and also keep it sexy but not raunchy. The light floral top has a high collar so as not to show to much chest, a high waisted short skirt with a crisp white belt, a faux snakeskin clutch that will hold all the necessaries, and to top it all off (or actually, bottom it all off) we added the light purple platforms to show of your gams. If it's more leg than you'd like to show, try adding a pair of black opaque tights to keep you looking at your best without being uncomfortable. Remember - comfort is key! If you don't feel good in your skin, people can read it all over your face. So keep it comfortable with just the right amount of sexiness and you'll be ready for whatever summer romance throws at you.
