LOFTYesterday, I decided to take advantage of Florida's tax-free weekend and do some shopping. Although I only swung by LOFT (the mall was <i>way</i> too crowded for me!) I was able to score a few great pieces:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpmS0RCt-CCH9eykpP9YM_hxENVSOV7n6gd7Gor08YagCLxrDodzGPRtloMe766CSPDWzfQxkVta_-SytL6_i9aPuAsW_Zf1uXdXaVsyNvsj6RoX2Tj9zNKaxTEGwm-ayUP0xlB0bcFbo/s1600/LOFT+skirts+and+boyfriend+jeans.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="LOFT clothes" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpmS0RCt-CCH9eykpP9YM_hxENVSOV7n6gd7Gor08YagCLxrDodzGPRtloMe766CSPDWzfQxkVta_-SytL6_i9aPuAsW_Zf1uXdXaVsyNvsj6RoX2Tj9zNKaxTEGwm-ayUP0xlB0bcFbo/s1600/LOFT+skirts+and+boyfriend+jeans.jpg" title="LOFT skirts and boyfriend jeans" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/bfn7v5u" target="_blank">LOFT Candy Dot Shift Skirt</a> - Original Price: $59.50 -> Sale Price: $24.99 + extra 60% off = <b>$10</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Although it's kind of hard to see, this tan pencil skirt is adorned with little citron yellow polka dots - super adorable. Plus, at just $10, I couldn't pass it up!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/bfn9a5u" target="_blank">LOFT Boyfriend Jeans</a> - Original Price: $79.50 -> Sale Price: $74.99 + extra 60% off = <b>$30</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've been wanting some boyfriend jeans for a while now, but never liked how they looked on me. Then, I tried this pair - they fit like a dream. These jeans are perfectly slouchy, but still fitted enough so that they don't look sloppy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/bfpcj5u" target="_blank">LOFT Aloha Stripe Full Skirt</a> - Original Price: $59.50 -> Sale Price: $34.99 + extra 60% off = <b>$14</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm a total stripe-addict, and this skirt makes a stylish addition to my wardrobe. The multi-colored stripes mean that I can mix-and-match this piece with <i>so</i> many different tops.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Total: <b>$54</b> (about 73% off total!) Not bad, right?</div>

Happy Fourth of July! In honor of the holiday, I'm wearing a red, white and blue ensemble - even though the forecast calls for rain. What are you wearing today?</div>

As with most specific items I shop for, I came up with a list of criteria my ultimate denim shirt would possess:<br />
<ul>
<li>Since most of my jeans are darker washes, it had to be a<b> light denim</b>. That way, I can rock the double denim look without it being <i>too </i>matchy-matchy.</li>
<li>I want this top to last me for a few years, so<b> no embellishments or distressing </b>that could easily date it.</li>
<li><b>100% cotton</b> is a must for hot Florida summers.</li>
<li>I needed to spend <b>less than $50.</b></li>
<li>Most importantly, it had to<b> fit properly</b>. I'm busty, so finding a button-up blouse that actually buttons up with no pulling or gaping can be a struggle.</li>
</ul>
<div>
Lo and behold, I found a top that met all that criteria at <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/k5iz5u" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">JCP</a> of all places. The department store recently opened up <a href="http://www.joefresh.com/en/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Joe Fresh</a> pop-up shops, which is where I found this shirt:<br />
<br />

Best of all, it came in under budget at just $29. I can see this top quickly becoming one of my new favorite wardrobe staples!<br />

It's safe to say I'm obsessed with all things <b>coral </b>this season. Not only is this shade bright and bold, but it also has a super-girly vibe that's so perfect for spring! Plus, I love the fact that you don't have to limit yourself to just clothes and accessories-- coral-hued lipstick, <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/wytc5u" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">nail polish</a> and <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/wys95u" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">blush</a> are all fab ways to try out this color trend.</div>

Although I wasn't able to snag that one (the collab sold out fast!), I did find five similar floral print blazers that cost less than $50 apiece. Check 'em out below:<br />

I'm never sure whether or not to acknowledge coming back after a blogging hiatus, but I did want to give a little update about what I've been up to lately. I'm now working full time editing/writing for <a href="http://www.collegefashion.net/" target="_blank">College Fashion</a> and couldn't be happier! To say it's a dream job would be an understatement.</i><br />

I've been wanting to recreate this outfit Drew Barrymore wore ever since I saw her on <i><a href="http://www.hulu.com/watch/470410" target="_blank">Late Night with Jimmy Fallon</a><span id="goog_2081765942"></span><span id="goog_2081765943"></span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/"></a></i> a few weeks back.

For similar look, pair cropped floral print trousers with a black blouse to create stylish, high-contrast look. Red-orange pumps pick up on the color found on the pants, while this mixed metal necklace adds an edgy touch.</div>

Also, I found the exact nail polish Drew is wearing! It's from her Flower makeup line (sold exclusively at Walmart) and the shade is called "Good Bud-Dy".</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If I had to pick out my ultimate pair of boots, it would have to be Rag & Bone's Harrow ankle booties. From the stacked heel to the stylish wrap-around detailing, I love everything about these shoes-- except for the price!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

At this point in my life, I simply can't justify the almost $500 price tag, but I was able to find a similar pair of boots for just a fraction of the price. Looks like these $70 dupes will do the trick until I can afford the real deal. Which ones do you prefer?</div>

Actress Emma Stone was spotted last week wearing a classic and comfortable outfit that's perfect for cold weather. All of the elements are fairly casual, but when paired together it creates a polished, slightly preppy vibe. And that toggle coat? Amazing.</div>

Want to snag her look for less? Here's a more budget-friendly version of Emma's outfit:</div>

Recreate Emma's look by layering a Peter Pan collar blouse under a light gray sweatshirt, then add a pair of dark wash skinny jeans. Flat black ankle booties keep the look casual, while a tan toggle coat will keep you toasty in cold weather. For the finishing touch, accessorize with a dark gray beanie.</div>

I'm a sucker for a good deal, so I was pumped (pun intended!) to learn that Target is carrying a nearly identical dupe for DV by Dolce Vita's "Demi" pumps. Mary Jane-style shoes have been gaining popularity this season and I love the unique curved heel found on both pairs. Plus, the under $30 price tag on the Target version makes them a stylish <i>and </i>budget-friendly find.</div>

Urban Outfitters x Lisa FrankAs a child of the '90s, I have to say that I'm <i>ecstatic </i>Urban Outfitters recently released a bunch of <a href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/category.jsp?id=A_LISAFRANK&121015hp" target="_blank">limited-edition Lisa Frank items</a> (Although the fact that UO is labeling them as "vintage" makes me feel very, very old!).<br />
<br />
Prices range from $8 for a <a href="http://rstyle.me/ixtyxq5u" target="_blank">memo pad</a> to $79 for a <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/dvbr5u" target="_blank">ceramic cookie jar</a>, and I'm seriously considering dropping some of my hard-earned dough on a few Technicolor desk supplies. Here are my five fave pieces from the UO x Lisa Frank collection:<br />

<br />
Taylor Swift always seems to wear the cutest outfits, but I was especially enamored by this look she wore a few weeks back. The outfit incorporated a lot of trends-- printed jeans, color-blocking, a collared top and even <a href="http://fashionsmashionblog.blogspot.com/2012/10/trend-to-try-animal-inspired-jewelry.html" target="_blank">animal-inspired</a> shoes-- but it still looks polished and not at all over-the-top. The overall look is a great mix between classic and quirky, making it the perfect casual ensemble to rock this fall.<br />
<br />
Want to snag Taylor's look for less? Check out this lower-priced dupe of her outfit:<br />

<br />
For a similar look, start by pairing polka dot skinny jeans with an on-trend collared tee and a comfy <a href="http://fashionsmashionblog.blogspot.com/2011/01/hot-hue-mustard-yellow.html" target="_blank">mustard yellow</a> cardigan.While Taylor's adorable <a href="http://rstyle.me/igzsz55u" target="_blank">Charlotte Olympia flats</a> will set you back about $600, these cat-inspired loafers from Urban Outfitters are just a fraction of the price. Next, accessorize with a structured handbag and a pair of sunnies. For the finishing touch, I decided to forgo Taylor's strand of pearls and instead opted for some classic stud earrings.Ashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06981145466412959183noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2625396246246233749.post-63256286977024473332012-10-07T21:39:00.000-04:002012-12-11T20:04:26.571-05:00The Look for Less: Balmain, Burberry and McQueen<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The seasons are finally starting to shift here in Florida (the temperature dipped below 80 degrees yesterday-- woohoo!) and that means I have one thing on my mind: fall fashion.<br />
<br />
Every season I come up with a fashion wishlist of sorts and this autumn I'm craving some trendy pieces like <a href="http://bit.ly/SNAZRB" target="_blank">oxblood jeans</a> and <a href="http://bit.ly/UwZd8z" target="_blank">printed tights</a> mixed with classic wardrobe staples such as a <a href="http://bit.ly/UwZKHB" target="_blank">tweed jacket</a> and <a href="http://bit.ly/SNBfjr" target="_blank">gold chain necklace</a>. All it takes is a few pieces to update your entire look for fall, and I think the items above would all be fantastic additions to my closet.<br />
<br />
Also, I've been obsessed with <a href="http://bit.ly/PQaU5G" target="_blank">OPI's "I Don't Give a Rotterdam"</a>; It's a gorgeous bluish-grey with just the right amount of shimmer, making it the perfect shade to switch up my usual routine of wearing dark-colored polishes throughout autumn.<br />
<br />
What's on <i>your</i> fall fashion wishlist? Any new nail polishes you love?

Rebecca Taylor Spring 2013 RTWAnother NYFW is in session and designer <b>Rebecca Taylor</b> created one of my favorite collections thus far. Her spring 2013 collection is totally wearable and trendy, with a feminine, yet laid back vibe making it a definite winner in my book. And although spring is a long way away, Taylor's line included pieces like denim dresses, moto jackets, brocade and floral trousers which are all hot trends for fall, meaning you can rock a Rebecca Taylor-inspired look no matter the season.<br />

<br />
I've always been a fan of Lauren Conrad's style because she knows how to pair trendy pieces with classic wardrobe staples to create stylish <em>and</em> age-appropriate looks.<br />
<br />
For example, take a look at this outfit Lauren wore earlier this month-- I think the combination of a pastel skirt with a studded top work surprisingly well together. Lauren also made sure to accessorize with simple pieces to keep the outfit from looking too over-the-top, for an ensemble that is both fresh and demure.<br />
<br />
Want to recreate Lauren's look for just a fraction of the price? Take a peek at the outfit below:<br />

For a similar look, pair a pretty peach skirt with an edgy studded top. Add some simple and sweet beige ballet flats and a matching quilted chain-strap handbag, which both have a classic vibe. Accessorize with a pair of oversized sunglasses and an adorable beaded bracelet for a trendy, yet effortless look for spring.Ashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06981145466412959183noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2625396246246233749.post-88613762114045945702012-04-22T08:00:00.000-04:002012-11-05T16:24:14.740-05:00Fashion Smashion 100th Post Giveaway!It's hard to believe, but this is my 100th post on Fashion Smashion! I'm so grateful to everyone who has read, subscribed and commented on this site throughout the last 99 posts, so to celebrate the occasion, I decided to give something away to one lucky reader.<br />
<br />
I attended my local Renaissance Festival earlier this month and found an artisan who handcrafts everything from artwork and home decor to dinnerware and jewelry out of gorgeous natural wood. I fell in love with these two-toned circular earrings she sold, so I decided to pick up one pair for myself and another to give away!<br />
<br />
Here's what they look like:<br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1277" height="450" src="http://fashionsmashionblog.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/fashion-smashion-giveaway-earrings.jpg" title="fashion smashion giveaway earrings" width="590" /><br />
<br />
I love how these earrings are color-blocked-- it's a cute and natural way to try out the trend. And although they're made of wood, the earrings themselves are extremely lightweight. Take it from someone who <em>hates</em> heavy earrings-- it hardly feels like you're wearing them at all. Also, the hooks are made of surgical steel, so no worries if you have super-sensitive skin.<br />
<br />
Want to win? All you have to do is leave a comment (remember to put a <strong>valid e-mail address</strong> in the "email" section of the comment form) and <strong>tell me what outfit you would wear with these earrings</strong>-- it's that simple!<br />
<br />
<em><strong>The fine print</strong>: The giveaway ends on May 1st, 2012 at 12:00pm EST. At this time, the winner will be selected using <a href="http://www.random.org/" target="_blank">random.org</a> and this post will be updated announcing the name of said winner. The winner will also be contacted via e-mail and must reply within seven (7) days or a new winner will be chosen.</em><br />

However, when shoes are comfy <em>and</em> cute it's a definite win-win in my book! That's where espadrille flats come in-- they have the same adorable style as a pair of wedged espadrilles, but with all the comfort of a pair of slip-on sneakers.<br />
<br />
There are so many stylish pairs of espadrille flats available right now in stores, but here are my top five picks for spring. The best part? Each pair costs under $50, so you won't have to break the bank in the name of style.<br />
