The Look For Less- Olivia Palermo

Just saw Olivia Palmero's Limelight spread and got extremely upset jealous inspired for some more 70's glam-ness.

I had to combat every "I WANT THAT" with an "I CAN DO THAT".

Instead of spending a buttload on some dresses, get the look above with the below dresses and pieces from Asos.com, and with a faux fur coat / vest and you're good to go.

Asos Jacquard Cocktail Dress $77

 Pleated skirts and dresses is the top trend this Summer. intsead of a $2,000 skirt (wtf who spends that),  you can find a dress or skirt anywhere right now that will achieve the same 70's glam look. And I especially love the powder blue!  Add a cropped jacket or fringe vest to add more to the look.


Age of Aquarius Maxi Dress- Shopnastygal- $88
TopShop Fringe Waistcoat

DRESSMONSTER Maxi Shift Dress $206
Halston dress, $1695, at NET-A-PORTER


I really love the sleeves on this Halston dress, so I think the key is to achieve the look is to keep the flowy, Seventies look in tact with the sleeves, chiffon, and length.
Mod Cloth Reservations Rose Dress $104
For a shorter version, maybe choose the below long sleeve pleated dress from Asos.
My favorite is the chiffon jumpsuit below from Asos. It's so summery and seventies I can't get over it.

Rare Long Sleeve Pleated Dress Asos- $77
Chiffon Wrap Jumpsuit $112


Jen Kao dress and tank, $1,555 and $1,025, at 212-239-6515; Alberta Ferretti skirt, $1,395, at AlbertaFaretti

I'll pass on the $1,555 dress, and take this $128, cuter, Free People dress

Free People Gypsy Lace Dress



On the left, Olivia is wearing a flowy, layered maxi dress. 
Achieve this with one of the following dresses- 

Lulu's Cream lace Dress
Aryn K Maxi Dress

Add layering to the dress with this crochet top-- 

Asos Crochet Cardigan

For Olivia's look on the right, pair this maxi skirt from Asos with the cropped jacket from TopShop--
Asos Dip Back Maxi Skirt

TopShop Lace Crop Jacket

Or add this cropped top to enhance either look.  The key is layering!

WWMKD?



Who can make a gray tee shirt and jeans look any better???

I think I'll be tucking in my gray tee next time I'm running late to work...

ISO Bar Trolley

I've been apartment hunting recently, and I have pretty much found all the furniture that I want (but my wallet won't allow), and I have been obsessing over bar trolleys- I think they are the perfect touch to any living space.
Now to decide... wire frame or wood frame...

Jump On It

I really love this Alice + Olivia jumpsuit...


But obviously can't afford it.

Going to look for highwaisted pants and I'm assuming American Apparel has a bodysuit to go with....

the search begins.
