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.

Over the weekend, we drove to Michigan and welcome Over the weekend, we drove to Michigan and welcomed this little lady to the family! She’s a two-year old snow Bengal that was surrendered after being bullied by the other cats in her home. We’re pretty sure she’s a seal lynx point Bengal, which has Siamese in the lineage, based on her vibrant, slightly crossed blue eyes. She is the sweetest, softest, most playful, and unbelievably talkative little girl. We’re crazy about her! 

We haven’t picked a name just yet, though. We have some ideas, but we’re waiting to get to know her personality more. 😊

Merry Christmas! My own Christmas tree isn’t a Merry Christmas! 

My own Christmas tree isn’t as tinsel’d as this one from the Christmas museum in Salzburg nor does it rotate. Consider these goals for next year.

I made @csaffitz’s raspberry almond thumbprint c I made @csaffitz’s raspberry almond thumbprint cookies and they’re delicious, but a lot of work and they don’t hold up well. If you’re planning on them this year, don’t add the jam dollop until just before you’re ready to serve them. The moisture gets sucked in overnight. Still good, of course, just softer than the first day.
