This bag is hot, and it’s only $19.99

I like! It’s cute, it’s inspired by Coco Chanel, and it’s cheap. I love that it comes in four different colors — black, fuchsia, ocean blue and purple!

Another creation that’s faux leather, it’s got an extra zip inside and has a nice shoulder strap. And … you still have enough money to buy that latte you’ve been craving after being parched from shopping!

I have been searching for a cute striped dress to wear under a leather jacket or a peacoat this Fall. I was inspired by Kristin Cavallari’s perfect end of summer look — the dress under a coat. Super cute. And I found it!

Old Navy has the cutest dress for $34.50 and they’re selling out online. M-XXL are left in the black stripe (and pink stripe comes in XS-XXL.)

You can wear with a solid pump but also a knee boot, thigh high or get a little racy with a sexy low bootie with slight heel. This is a keeper. This type of dress never goes out of style! It’s light enough for now and perfect when it gets chilly for later.

Forget the LBDs. It’s all about the LWDs.

Kristen Stewart wore a little white dress — a Chanel Haute Couture number — to the BAFTAs in London, and Demi Moore chose another Chanel dress for the L.A. premiere of Valentine’s Day in February.

You can get the look for as little as $39 when H&M’s Garden Collection debuts. This strapless white dress is perfection for cocktails or dinner or just to keep when you’re feeling the need to break out of black and jewel tones.

But bare necks work as well as a drop earring to add a little sparkle. The possibilities are endless. If you dare to be bare, be mindful of making sure you’re self-tanned — or at least your skin looks soft and not flaky. (It’s been a cold and snowy winter, so it will be nice to shed that alligator skin!)

If you want to get a jump on the look before spring, layer a boys’ black blazer and add black opaque tights if your legs are just not ready.

How to wear white? The New Moon star wore hers with a white satin sandal — a super-clean look to allow the dress to shine on its own. Moore paired hers with a closed-toe high-heeled satin Brain Atwood pump, which I also like. She added a black evening clutch, which is sweet.

The kids love the colors, the characters, and — because they’re priced so well — I can buy a few for them in different colors. Sized in kids small to extra-large, they’re perfect for those little guys on the go!

I don’t know about you, but Star Wars, Backugan and Yu-Gi-Oh! T-shirts are so yesterday… It’s all about Super Mario now — at least with my boys. And I was so happy to find these tees at Kohl’s for only $9.60.

Her kicks roughly retail anywhere from $200 to $335 for the Bess version. Luckily, I found something that does the job from the genius of Aldo. The mid-calf boots, called Beynon, are obviously not an exact replica, but they’re pretty close. And the price tag — at $140 — is far less painful. Plus, these shoes — which will look super-cute with leggings and a mini-skirt — are made to last, so if you can indulge, go for it. This look has legs!

Ke$ha’s cool. I love her young insanity — she’s such a crazy, chaotic mess. In a good way, of course. I can hear the whining already, but when I saw her enter the Wendy Williams Show in these boots, I just loved the look. I don’t know if I could 100-percent pull them off — or even want to — but I know so many of you out there would love these. A guilty pleasure, you know? Live a little…

PRODUCT DETAILS
These ruggedly stylish mid-calf boots will help you achieve this season’s punk-rock inspiration in a heartbeat. Buckled and studded straps give them a unique feel. Also featuring round toe and thick sole.

These studded shoes, inspired by the King of Pop and the house of Balmain, are being put out so fast by discount retailer Zara that it makes my head spin. At $129, these lovelies are suede, bucked and studded on a stiletto heel, so your foot looks hot! They are approximately 4″ high and fierce! Like all Zara pieces, skip the moonwalk and shuttle yourself over there as fast as you can.

Bring on Fall already! I cannot wait for the new seasonal looks, especially all of the items — like these Zara heels — that are full of studs, stones and spikes. In other words, fashion that can cause you bodily, breathless harm.

TIP: You are advised to buy your own jacket and not actually borrow your boyfriend’s, because as big and boxy as the trend is, the jacket still needs to fit you in the back, under the arm and at the wrist. The tailoring and fit is always key to a good look.
