Completing the Look…

October 24, 2009

This is a continuation of the Emma Stone/Zombieland post…

Of course I had to get the jacket!!!

I also wanted something reasonable. I don’t have a lot of money to spend, so I did some research. Surprisingly my search ended at Express of all places! I found this great faux leather jacket that was tough but cute at the same time:

expressfrontexpressback

I actually removed the belt to make it look a little less cute. This jacket was originally $98.00, but I was lucky enough to catch a 30% Off Storewide Clearance and snatched this jacket for $60.00!!!

And, I know some of you were wondering about the boots I got from Charlotte Russe:

pCHIC1-6335586t220x350

Well I LOVE THEM! They are SO comfortable and jazz up any outfit. I hope Charlotte Russe gets some more in, because I highly recommend them! Let me know if you have found any other bargain boots that turned out surprisingly well!

So, to complete this look, I HAD to get some V-Neck t-shirts…

Which fortunately Forever 21 also had SUPER CHEAP!

67721785-13

I got these in pretty much every color (including the heathered and solid colors) all for $3.50-$4.50!

While I was in Forever 21, I found another great jacket that I just couldn’t pass up. And fortunately I have a pair of brown leather boots with a chunky heel that go absolutely great with it.

64723309-02

64723309-02-1

I got this awesome faux leather jacket for $34.80!

That’s TWO jackets for UNDER $100!!!

I am looking forward to wearing these all winter!

Emma Stone’s Boots in Zombieland

October 4, 2009

Hi everyone!! It’s been awhile but I just HAD to talk about how amazing Emma Stone’s boots are in Zombieland!! I just saw the movie yesterday and loved it, and all day today all I can think about is how much I WANT THOSE BOOTS!!!

Zombieland-boots

Sooo….here’s the hunt for an afforable pair for myself :)

Madden Girl Ivorry Wedge Boot 5995 DSW

Madden Girl Ivorry Wedge Boot

found at DSW for $59.95

close…but not quite…

Merona Kallista Riding Boots

found at Target for $39.99

Now these are better…

pCHIC1-6335586t220x350

Crinkle Flat Boots

found at Charlotte Russe for $34.99

I think I like these the best!!

What do you think? Let me know!!

UPDATE

So I was just informed by a reader that Charlotte Russe has sold out of the Crinkle Flat Boots as of today. Fortunately I ordered my pair last night (my size was the only one left) and I am anxiously waiting their arrival at my doorstep!!! But for those of you who are still looking for that great ‘Wichita’ boot, I’ve got some more additions…

I’ll start off with the more expensive ones and work my way down to a more affordable price range…

pl720869-01vliv01

Unisa Riri Boot

found at Piperlime.com for $99

It’s ok…but I’m not excited.

pl605650-00vliv01

Aerosoles Ride Line
found at Piperlime.com for $89
I must say I’m very impressed with Aerosoles…didn’t think they had it in them to make a boot like this! It definitely has more hardware than Emma Stone’s but they’re still a very close match.
483766_Black
Chaps Caleigh Tall Boots, Kohls
originally $99.99, ON SALE FOR $69.99
Now these are a good match! A litte more expensive than the ones at Charlotte Russe, but I think it’s still a pretty good deal!!
So now I start the hunt for a great jacket….
zombieland-02
I think my Halloween costume is covered this year :)

Now, to be honest, I think these are a little overpriced for such a simple shoe, but to each their own!

Project Runway Season 7 Casting

June 7, 2009

Are you an aspiring fashion designer? Do you think you have what it takes for Project Runway? If so, be sure to go to mylifetime.com and apply!

Check out the link below:

I can’t even wait for Season 6 to come out this summer!! I was pretty disappointed with the talent on Season 5, and don’t even get me started on how annoying Kenley was….Of course in the end, Leanne won, and she was my favorite, so all was good again :)

What are you most looking forward to for the next season of Project Runway?

What would you like to see from this one?
