Fab Find Under $100: Colored Faux Leather Handbag

30 Sep

A pop of color in an unexpected place – like your handbag – is a fashion do no matter the season. And a satchel, like this Twist Front Shoulder Bag from Forever 21, in a deep turquoise hue is perfect for fall. It’s not too bright (put away the neons) and demure enough to wear to work.

28 Sep

Legendary model Veronica Webb strikes a pose at the New Yorkers for Children fall gala dressed in a strapless, floor-length dress in one of the season’s hottest colors, cobalt blue. Actress Eva Mendes took the LBD up a notch in a black sequined evening gown with three-quarter length sleeves by Andrew Gn at the Toronto International Film Festival.

And actress Odette Yustman channeled old school glamour in a draped burnt orange gown by J.Mendel at the film premiere for “You Again” in Hollywood.

**UPDATE**: This poll is now closed. Odette Yustman is the Stylin’ Chick of the Week.

Buying clothes that are multifunctional is a necessity for a fashionista on a budget. We found these fabulous dark olive tapered woven pants from Forever 21 and interpreted them two ways — an outfit sure to score major style points around the office and a second look that can carry you after-hours.

And coming in at under $200, these are two looks that are trendy yet classic enough to hang on to for a few seasons.
