Splurge or Save?

June 28, 2013 by jessica Leave a Comment

I’ve been a bit preoccupied with this Ali Ro dress ($318) since I saw it on Gal Meets Glam earlier this week (that back cut out…swoon!). I definitely can’t justify the price tag given that I bought a car this month, so I’d be perfectly happy with this BB Dakota version for less than $40. 

If the BB Dakota dress sells out at Dillard’s, it’s available at Shopbop and their own site. It’s just not as great of a discount.

I’ve always been fond of Lemlem’s multiple stripes and color combinations, but $170 is a bit steep for a gauzy scarf. Get the look with this Mango version for a fraction of the price. I also found lovely versions at Gap ($29.95) and Old Navy ($12.94).

Would you splurge or save on an orange Lucite clutch? While I appreciate the clear border on the CC Skye version, the Zara clutch is my pick for this trendy accessory.

Splurge or Save: Faux Fur Snood

October 24, 2012 by jessica Leave a Comment


No matter your position on real fur, no one can deny the chic sensibility of the faux version. I’d suggest saving your pennies with the Target version – it’s a third of the price and just as elegant.

Splurge: MICHAEL Michael Kors, $60
Save: Target, $19.99

Reminder! Enter to win $100 to Shopbop!

Splurge or Save: Embellished Sweater

October 4, 2012 by jessica Leave a Comment


An embellished sweater is one of fall’s hardest working pieces. You’ll get a surprising amount of mileage out of it: to the office with a pencil skirt, out for drinks with stilettos, and with jeans on the weekend.

Splurge: J.Crew, $118
Save: Dorothy Perkins, $59

Reminder! Enter to win $30 to spend on INPINK jewelry. Thirty people will win! Enter here.

I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog of travel photos before we book our next trip. First up, photos of the gothic York Minster. I’m not religious in the slightest but I can’t resist stunning architecture and the opportunity to climb hundreds of cathedral stairs for a city view. This one only had a single rest stop about halfway up the flight of 275 steps for a closeup view of the flying buttresses — and a waiver you had to sign before your ascent to promise you’re healthy enough to make it.

Visiting York earlier this month put us in the Hal Visiting York earlier this month put us in the Halloween spirit. While it claims to be the most haunted place in Europe and is dubbed the city of a thousand ghosts, we only encountered the wire-mesh sculptures of Ghosts in the Gardens (@the_york_bid) and the family of souvenir ghosts I brought home from @yorkghostmerchants.
