The Kewl Shop Review + Coupon Code: Celebrity-Inspired Bandage Dresses on a Budget!


Review of Kewl Shop, a site for Herve Leger bandage dress lookalikes!

Nothing shows off a woman’s curves or confidence at a special occasion, dinner date, or night out with the girls like a bandage dress. Google any actress, model, or singer and I guarantee you will come across a red carpet photo of her wearing a form-fitting number, short in length and high in sex appeal. And we don’t have to use Google to know that the cost of these dresses is heartbreaking. So I was excited when a representative from The Kewl Shop contacted me and introduced me to their online boutique of bandage dresses, shockingly comparable to designer looks. They reminded me of the covetable Herve Leger bandage dresses, which I have never worn myself, but the Kewl Shop offers equally beautiful dresses at a much more reasonable price to suit your special occasions or just a night out with the girls!

Shop the Off 5th Friends & Family Sale to Put Together this Blogger-Inspired Spring Look


Spring look featuring French Connection trench, Nine West slip on sneakers, Vince Camuto bucket bag

I find myself following a lot of übermoms these days on Instagram - you know the kind, young, beautiful and always perfectly put-together, whether they're grabbing coffee or going on a dinner date. I'm not sure how they do it, but I do know that they've given me loads of outfit inspiration for spring. Take for example this casual look spotted on Becky (@cellajaneblog): It's a classic trench paired with black skinnies and slip-ons sneakers. And it's kinda brilliant. The trench means you look polished while the sneaks are cool and comfortable.
