Celebrity Looks - Kanye West

Today's Celebrity Look for Less is inspired by hip-hop style icon, Kanye West. Kanye is a regular on the fashion scene, often attending runway shows, and blogging about his passion for couture and fashion as an art. He has even appeared as a guest columnist for Complex magazine (owned by famed fashion designer/entrepeneur, Marc Ecko).




Kanye's weekend look is casual, put-together, and easy to achieve. Here's what you'll need:
  1. Loose or relaxed fit chinos: I found a pair at gap.com for around $45.

  2. A deep v-neck or cardigan sweater + an easy-fit, white, button-up shirt. I found a Tommy Hilfiger cardigan at Macy's for $79 and a great deal on wrinkle-free dress shirts at Kohl's: $16!

  3. Some cool sneakers and a casual belt. Urban Outfitters has a really great selection of cool kicks, and I found the perfect belt to complete the look on sale at Macy's for $37.

Kanye is also well known for having an affinity for luxury luggage a-la Louis Vuitton. If your tastes run as expensive as Kanye's, but you're lacking his bankroll; you may consider investing in small luxury goods from discount retailers such as eluxury.com. I suggest the Louis Vuitton Damier Graphite Card Holder for a touch of panache.

Love,
Loren

Fashion Tips - Chunky Heels

A tough, chunky shoe can be the perfect balance for a feminine dress. If you want to give your look a touch of edgy, add a pair of sky-high sexy platform heels. And for those cold winter nights, add a pair of black opaque tights to finish your look. Versace showed these super high chunky heels during their Fall runway show. Jessica Simpson makes a great pair of caged heels that come in a variety of neutral colors for an affordable price; you can’t go wrong!

The Jessica Simpson Striker Sandal is available at Macy's for $89. Right now, save $10 off your order of $75 or more at Macy's using coupon code: re889wx745 at checkout.

FashionCents Style Tips – Pants…the long and short of it!

In continuing with our FashionCents Style Tips this week, today we wanted to focus on pants and shorts for Dad!

Yesterday, I mentioned how sandals and socks do not go together. The same thing can be said about jeans and shorts or jorts as they are commonly referred to. Jean shorts do not count as shorts, especially cut-offs. While they may be great for working around the yard, they don’t quite cut it when you’re going out.

For years, I had to constantly beg JR to get rid of his jean shorts. When I finally did, he didn’t realize what he had been missing out on. Shorts can come in many different styles. There are cargo shorts, linen shorts and the standard khaki pleated pair of shorts, not to mention shorts for working out that help wick-away sweat. While all of these shorts have a different application, many of them can be worn with a pair of sandals that I mentioned earlier, to help create a nice outfit that is both attractive and comfortable.

Since this is all about Dad this week, I wanted to bring to your attention a few great deals (not to mention, stores) that are available on the web portal.

First up is Macy’s. Remember how I mentioned that Born shoes were extremely comfortable? Try these Herringbone shorts from Tommy Bahama! JR is constantly raving about how they are so comfortable and lightweight. If there is anything you want to wear whether playing golf or just having dinner out, it is a pair of these. They are available for $72 right now!

While Herringbone shorts are not applicable in every situation, I figured I would look for something else a little more durable and laid back. Mark mentioned having the perfect white t-shirt. To complement this, I found a great pair of cargo shorts (in camo too!). This is a hot summer look when you’re wanting to relax and yet still look great! They were available at Cabela’s for only $15! A great deal if you ask me!

As the title suggests, this entry was about shorts…and pants. I found this great pair of Hugo Boss linen and cotton blended pants at Bloomingdale’s for $125, which are perfect for an evening out or a trip to the beach!

Until tomorrow…
