Yup, I will be watching  (even though is gets more fake and seemingly scripted each season):

Anyone else out there obsessed with The Hills?

One of the big styles for spring ’09 is florals, so here are a few of my favorite picks:

@Old Navy

Old Navy Chiffon Flutter Sleeve Dress - $29.50

This would be really cute with some metallic wedges and a bright, belted cardigan.

Ruffled Scoop Neck Dress - $29.50

Pair this ruffled dress with some jeweled thong sandals and a white bag for a light, summery look.

Floral Cinch Dress - $29.50

Would love to see this cinch dress with a long, violet cardigan and gold jewelry.

Crinkle Chiffon Top - $26.50

Sheer Cotton Camp Shirt - $24.50

These floral tops with be great paired with white linen pants, or even those white jeans and some cute boots!

Floral Cardigan - $29.50

This floral cardigan can be dressed up for work with an A-Line skirt, or some dark skinny jeans and sandals for a weekend casz look.

@J. Crew

Silk Mod Floral Dress - $188

Aubrey Dress - $118

These dresses would be perfect for all those spring and summer weddings I have, and could be paired with a lightweight cardigan for a work appropriate style.

Floral Sunburst Mini - $69.50

Primrose Garden Necklace - $115

Floral Ring - $50

Hope you find some cute floral styles for your winter into spring look!

I woke up yesterday not feeling well, and it just got progressively worse throughout the day (actually I stayed home from work today). Obviously, I wasn’t feeling much like being creative so this is what I threw together yesterday for work:

Throwin' It Together

What:

Argyle Cardigan: F21

Striped, Ruffled Blouse: Express

Skinny Cords: J. Crew

Shoes (which didn’t get photographed well): J. Crew

Gold Earrings: Luna (a boutique in Charleston, SC)

Gold Layered Necklace: F21

Why:

Feeling sick, but still had to go to work and try to be productive.

Ok, so I have purchased things from E-bay in the past, but mostly just textbooks to save some moolah. I have now realized there is an entire world of vintage clothing, and discounted name brand clothing that I can get my hands on for much lower than I could ever get in the stores. Who knew there was so much on E-bay? Well maybe you did, but I sure did not!

So first thing, I decided to search for some boots. I have been wanting a pair of J. Crew or Banana Republic boots for quite some time now, but I can never justify spending upwards of $300 on them. By the time they go on sale at the end of the season, my size (a popular 7) is long gone. Well, I took a chance and bid on a pair of black Banana Republic boots, and low and behold they are now mine for less than $50:

I also picked up a scarf, J. Crew bracelet and J. Crew metallic ballet flats as well. As much as I love clothes and accessories, this could be dangerous. Although, I suppose it is better than paying full price in the stores! Do you gals purchase items off E-bay to try to save some dough in these crazy economic times?
