| LUXE FOR LESS: |

i bought the madewell parka last year when it was on sale for a real steal of a price...more than 50% off what it's going for online currently.  it's waterproof, cozy and oh so fashionable.  i was recently shopping at forever 21 and i really loved their rendition of the ever so fashionable forrest green parka; enjoy todays luxe for less. happy thursday! xo

luxe // mcq alexander mcqueen, rag and bone

| LUXE FOR LESS: |

where the heck did the week go? holy moly!  time flies when you're having fun.  today is a rainy day in new england so i'm not sure what we're up to but yesterday we went on an awesome walk through morses pond then shopped.  holy cow!  we went into TJX in Framingham and they had an amazing runway section.  i could of done some damage in there except the whole no room in the suitcase thing.

todays luxe for less is something that killlllls me.  i've been eyeing this burberry coat since we lived on the east coast.  in person, it is so beautifully made, cozy & warm, tailored nicely and so chic but for whatever reason i never pulled the trigger- maybe it's the $1,000 price point, maybe i needed something a bit weather proof...i don't know.  what i do know; i still love this coat.  when i saw that forever 21 made one similar to the the burberry coat i about died: obviously the quality won't be burberry but if it's something that won't be a staple in my closet-who cares? 

hope you all having a fantastic week! xx

luxe: burberry brit "findsale" coat, $995 // the less: forever 21 classic duffle coat.

the lux: the newbury boot by rag and bone ($525 and up) has been my favorite boot for years now.  every stylish celeb, blogger and fashionista puts these at the top of her bootie list.

for less: so many brands have tried to bring a newbury-esque bootie to their lines- if you are in the market for multiple different colors at a sharp price point both aldo ($130) and forever 21 ($37.90) got your back.

i often times get requests from readers and totally stylish friends asking me to do a series on awesome pieces that are designer inspired.  my cousin, courtney, was my final straw, we both have a soft spot for couture but don't want to pay thousands of dollars for this seasons "it" shoe because when we're still paying off our amex there is a new "it" shoe already showing.  you get my drift, ya? 

welcome to the luxe for less series! (thanks, court for the name suggestion!) i hope all my fashionistas love these posts as much as i do finding the buys. hope you are all having a great week!  -- thank me later for these finds. xx

the luxe: the valentino rock stud is still at the top of bloggers, celebrities and fashionista's list: this edgy classic pump can be dressed up or worn casual--
