I didn't think I'd ever feature Snooki here. She is what she is, and I can't really say much about it. But this look is just ridiculous, and I'm not even talking about the curlers. It's more the lack of pants plus woolly mammoth boots (really, it's just unflattering on her short little body), and the tacky handbag isn't helping either.
Here's how I'd redo Snooki, without sacrificing her essential Snookiness, for $93.69.

Fashion Redemption: Jessica Simpson
Jessica Simpson turned 30 this month. But you wouldn't know it, because this outfit makes her look like a feisty Miami septuagenarian - a Blanche Devereaux for the 21st century.
Here's how I'd make Jessica look like the young woman that she is, for only $97.79.

The Savvy Stylist - Plus Size Week: An Elegant Affair
This look is for an elegant evening. Whether you're at a cocktail party, a wedding, or anywhere where you need a chic nighttime look, this outfit will be sure to impress! It costs just $99.72.
5 Under $50: Heather Grey
I remember the days when heather grey was a color reserved only for baggy sweats. But now, it's possible to wear heather grey and look presentable for more than sleeping or working out. It's got a laid-back vibe that can't be matched, but with updated silhouettes, it can be casually chic.
Here are five heather grey pieces that can be worn anywhere.

Fashion Redemption: Avril Lavigne
So, here's the thing: when I started this blog way back in March 2007, I vowed to never feature Avril Lavigne on here. I just can't stand her style, how she considers herself "punk" even though the music she creates is bubblegum pop. But this new feature is just too, too perfect for Avril. And this look she's sporting is too, too perfect for redemption.
I mean, seriously. This is just sloppy.
So, here's how I'd restyle La Lavigne for just $99.95.

The Savvy Stylist - Plus Size Week: Weekend Casual
Here is a stylish and chic outfit for a warm weather weekend. Whether you're shopping, brunching with friends, or just running errands, you'll look fabulous and stay cool in this look, which costs $89.05.
5 Under $50: Lauren Conrad for Kohl's
Lauren Conrad's Kohl's collection has been out for quite a while now. I actually prefer it to her overpriced line of knits that was released before it. Here are my top picks from LC's affordable line.
28 July 2010
Fashion Redemption: Katie Holmes
Okay, now admittedly, this isn't that terrible, although the shoes do have a certain Puritan quality that rubs me the wrong way. But the striped T-shirt dress, well, it's perfectly cute for running errands or having brunch with some girlfriends.
But this was a red carpet event. So all I can say is NO. And I can tell by Katie's face that she kind of agrees.
Here's how I'd glam Katie up for $98.19.

Here is a plus-size business casual look for a day in the office. It costs $94.09.
5 Under $50: Trapeze Dresses
When the weather is as sticky-hot as it's been this summer, I like my clothes to be relaxed and loose-fitting. Trapeze dresses don't necessarily flatter every body as-is, but if you belt one, you can show off your waist.
Here are five trapeze dresses that are perfect for summer.

Fashion Redemption: Audrina Patridge
I don't understand why these pretty girls keep tarting themselves up with these cutout dresses. First it was Katy Perry and now it's Audrina. Audrina, hon? Let's class it up a bit, shall we?
Here's how I'd do it, for just $94.60.

5 Under $50: J. Crew
Oh, J. Crew, the haven of well-made basics and soft, feminine pieces. Some of J. Crew's items are slightly pricey, but it's pretty easy to find some affordable items there. Here are five of my favorite J. Crew items under $50.

Fashion Redemption: Jessica Biel
I just spent about 10 minutes staring at this photo trying to figure out what Jessica was thinking, and the best I could come up with was this: She got her dates confused, thought Thanksgiving was in July, and decided to wear an outfit that invoked both the Pilgrims (long, bulky, buttoned-up black garment) and the Native Americans (fringe).
And it's a shame, because the rest of the outfit looks pretty cute. So here's how I'd restyle Jessica for $99.92.

The Savvy Sylist - Plus Size Week: Date Night
I've been getting a lot of requests for plus-size looks, so I'm excited to dedicate an entire week to looks for curvy women!
Today's look is perfect for a casual but romantic summertime date - maybe dinner and drinks on a restaurant patio followed by a romantic walk? It costs only $85.32.

5 Under $50: Mirrored Items
I love the look of mirrors in fashion. They are slick and sleek, and lend a futuristic-disco feel to an outfit. Here are five affordable mirrored items.
24 July 2010
Fashion Redemption: Cameron Diaz
Now, I think that Cameron Diaz has got two of the best stems in Hollywood right now (to be bested only, perhaps, by Blake Lively). BUT. A great pair of legs does not mean that it's okay to just wear a sweater and nothing on the bottom. Because that is not a sweater dress. It's a sweater.
Here's how I'd re-do Cammie's look for only $95.02.

Fashion Redemption: Rihanna
I get it, Rihanna, you're edgy. But I don't think that edgy = wearing a trash bag.
Here's an outfit that's still rocker-chic but a bit less wacky. It costs only $90.80.

The Savvy Stylist: Speakeasy Party
Reader Request
My husband and I were invited to attend a party at a 20's style speakeasy bar but I have no clue what to wear. The info on the bar website says to come dressed up to "set the mood". I want something dressy that could have been worn back in the 20's but I don't want to look like a flapper. Any ideas?
This look is perfect for the 20's party, but it's not costumey. Best of all, you can wear all of the pieces again! It costs just $93.56.

5 Under $50: Clogs
Clogs are back, baby! I shouldn't be surprised; everything in fashion is circular and comes back eventually. I think that clogs look amazing with casual dresses and shorts. Here are five affordable pairs of clogs.
22 July 2010
Fashion Redemption: Mischa Barton
I just don't know about Mischa. She seems determined to wear the most unflattering clothes that she can find. I think she has a beautiful figure (she looks much better with some meat on her bones than when she was emaciated) but she needs to wear the right clothes to flatter her body. I have to say, though, that I'm digging the yellow brogues!
Here's how I'd update Mischa's look for $99.55.

The Savvy Stylist: BBQ Wedding Celebration
Reader Request
I am in need of an outfit to wear to an outdoor barbecue/wedding celebration. I won't be attending a formal wedding, as the couple is simply going to the courthouse and then having a party immediately after. The invitation said "BBQ formal," but I have no idea what that entails. Please help!
Hmmm... "BBQ formal" is pretty vague, but I take that to mean something fancier than what you'd wear to a regular barbecue, but less fancy than what you'd wear to an actual formal event. I'm envisioning a garden party type of look, so that's what I've put together for you. This should be perfect for the celebration, and it costs just $95.99.

5 Under $50: Asos
I'm going to let you in on my favorite little secret: Asos, an online store based in the U.K. I've featured plenty of pieces from Asos before, but now I'm going to let you all know how much I love their items. I've been ordering a lot of pieces from there lately. Their prices are fantastic and you don't see dozens of people wearing their styles here in the U.S., like you might see for a popular mall store. And the overseas shipping is surprisingly quick and affordable.
Here are five frugal items from Asos:

Fashion Redemption: Olivia Munn
One of my biggest pet peeves in fashion is imbalance. Olivia is wearing a lovely summer dress with clunky cold-weather boots. She looks lopsided, and, frankly, ridiculous.
Here's how I'd restyle Olivia in a more balanced way, for just $90.80.

The Savvy Stylist: They're Going to Disneyland
Reader Request
My boyfriend and I are taking a trip to Disneyland this August to celebrate our 5 year anniversary. We plan on setting aside one night for a special, romantic in park date. I would like to wear something cute, but also comfortable. Flats are a must, as we will be walking A LOT. I also want to incorporate a hat, even though I never wear them. It will be very hot and some heat protection would be nice. I have a feminine, vintage style and am not afraid of dresses. I want to look good for my boy, please help!
This look will be perfect for your anniversary celebration. It costs only $96.49.

5 Under $50: The Little Red Dress
A few weeks ago, I bought a simple red dress on sale. The first time I wore it, I got so many compliments! Red is such a bold, eye-catching color, so if you want to make a statement, it's the way to go.
Here are five of my favorite affordable LRDs.

The Savvy Stylist: Baseball Date

I am going on a date this weekend with this guy I've been liking for months. I finally asked him out to a baseball game! I have no idea what to wear, but I want to look cute, approachable, and low maintenance. Help please!
I think this look will definitely work. It's cute and flirty enough to impress the guy, but casual and cool enough for a baseball game. Best of all, it costs only $92.53.

5 Under $50: Suede Sandals
Suede is usually a material that's reserved for fall or winter, but we can definitely get away with wearing a cool suede sandal in warmer weather. Here are a few of my favorites:

Fashion Redemption: Gwen Stefani
I can appreciate the fact that Gwen has a quirky, unique style, but OH MY GOD THOSE PANTS!!!!! If MC Hammer's pants mated with a diaper, this would be their unholy spawn. And the mixed stripes aren't helping matters.
Here's how I'd restyle Gwen, for just $98.28.

The Savvy Stylist: Hollywood Date
Reader Request
I'm about to go on my first date with a fairly well-known actor out here in LA, so I want to look great! My personal style is very "Rock Chic" because I work in the music industry, so I want to reflect that without going overboard. Also, I'm only 5' 0" and rather busty so I'm looking for something that will make me look long and lean without exposing too much.
The black dress will elongate your figure and the accessories are rock and roll but still feminine. The whole look costs only $82.74.

Fashion Redemption: Kate Hudson
I can't for the life of me figure out where Kate is going with this outfit. To me, this look screams "hip 65 year-old," not "rockin' hippie chick." Here's how I'd make this look more Kate-worthy, for just $95.34.
