Celebrity Looks: Victoria Beckham

October 15th // 2 Comments

Victoria Beckham is definetely a trendsetter–from her trademark asymmetrical bob haircut, to her fabulous handbag collection–it’s no wonder she has continued to evolve into a modern-day style icon. Victoria’s “posh” look is also heavily influenced by many classic styles including oversized sunglasses, mod prints, black and white, and clean lines. Victoria was spotted looking extra-stylish earlier this week, in her Audrey Hepburn-esque attire, as she arrived at Los Angeles International Airport.

Victoria’s clean, tailored look can work in a variety of occasions, and resourceful shoppers will find that you don’t have to have Posh’s bankroll to look this chic–in fact, a major part of the thrill of finding the same looks for less, involves the endless amount of options that are available out there (especially through our dozens of MarketAmerica.com partner stores). With so many endless possibilities, you can really put your own spin on a look you love, for much less!

Here are a few pieces I found to help you snag Victoria’s style:

1. A perfect-length, quality skirt is the key piece to obtaining this look. If you’re going to splurge anywhere, do it here. A skirt like the Black Halo one I found at TheHipChick.com, is an “investment piece” that will last you season after season.

Black Halo Skirt: $218

2. Victoria’s look consists of a boatneck sweater layered over a white collared-shirt. I’ve chosen a black sweater from Kohl’s, and a basic white shirt from Gap.

Apt. 9 black sweater

Apt. 9 button-neck sweater: $23

I especially like the shirred detailing on this sweater. It creates an ideal balance of femenine and masculine when paired with the white shirt (buttoned to the neck).

3. You’ll also need bold, black accessories to complete this look.

Kate Spade sunglasses: $160 at Nordstrom.com

MIA Diva round toe pump: $69.95 available at endless.com

The key to creating Victoria’s look, is to keep it simple! Look for pieces with clean lines and minimal embellishment, but don’t be afraid to make the look your own by experimenting with slightly different silhouettes, and fabrics. Get creative with it!

Lots of Love,
Loren

Trends and News: Purple Pops!

October 13th // 4 Comments

Fall is finally here, and lately I’ve been obsessing over my favorite fall neutral–purple! The jewel-tone is just as hot this fall season as it was last, and it has been popping up everywhere: from makeup, to clothing, to my personal favorite: accessories.

In the past, purple wouldn’t have been considered a neutral, but the great thing about this color is that it seems to work well with just about any fall look.One word of advice though: never go head-to-toe purple! The key to wearing purple as a basic this season, is to either do it subtly, or as a complementing element to an outfit.

Pair a funky purple handbag or purple shoes with a monochromatic outfit (like black) or add a punch of color to your wardrobe in the form of blue-violet nail polish or a deep, plum-toned scarf/headwrap like the one by Lacoste seen here on the runway:
