Kmart Fashion Fall 2011 Lookbook


Kmart Fashion Fall 2011 Look Book

Kmart has shared their Fall 2011 look book with us, and it features some of the key pieces and trends you'll be seeing in stores for the fall season. There's some good-looking outerwear, amazing boots and knit dresses that can go from day to night with a quick accessory change. I've got my eye on the capelet (capes are huge again for fall), all the wool-blend coats, lace-up fold-over ankle boots, faux leather shorts, and faux leather skirt. Kmart is slowly but surely stepping up their game, now if only they would overhaul their website to make shopping online a bit more enjoyable.

Alexander Wang Is Creating A Nail Polish Collection with Sally Hansen




Alexander Wang is teaming up with Sally Hansen to create a line of nail polishes which will debut in just a few short weeks at the designer's New York Fashion Week Spring 2012 show. (via Style.com). Sally Hansen is also collaborating with designers Prabal Gurung and Tracy Reese again this season, which means we'll have plenty of designer-inspired colors to choose from, most likely priced under $8. I can't wait to see what they come up with. We budget babes know and love Sally Hansen for their amazing products at great prices, so I'm beyond excited to see them align with the cool kids at Fashion Week.

I love the Chanel look, it's a beautiful way to try some color around the eye without going over the top. Will you be trying out a green eye look for fall?
