Last night, the Versace for H&M collection was unveiled at a celebrity packed event in New York, and today the web is flooded with images from the event and of the clothes themselves. I was content to watch the action unfold from the comfort of my couch, iPhone in hand, watching the tweets come in from @versace, @hmusa and their guests. Don't you just love technology? Have a look at these campaign images, then head to hm.com/versace for details and pricing on all the items that will be in the collection which launches at 8 a.m. on November 19, 2011 at select stores.

The team at JewelMint.com reached out to share a promo code for first time buyers but since I know many of you have already made your first purchase, I asked them if they could provide us with another coupon for existing customers, and they did!

Good for one purchase per customer, use code BUDGET50 for first time buyers and BUDGET10 for existing customers (50% off for 1st time and 10% off for existing). Expires 11/30/2011.

Created by actress Kate Bosworth and stylist Cher Coulter, JewelMint.com recently celebrated their one year anniversary, so they must be doing something right. I think it's the unique offerings, cool site layout and reasonable prices (especially when you use a coupon!).

Gucci's emerald green and gold snakeskin ankle strap evening sandals cost $637 at Bluefly.com.



Celebrity fans include Camilla Belle, Chanel Iman and Kim Kardashian, and each lovely lady paired her Gucci heels with eye-catching colorblock looks from the spring 2011 Gucci runway. Looove.

Colin Stuart for Victoria's Secret has a fantastic look for less available in green/gold, purple, nude or black (the Guccis came in various colors as well). These heels are a much more manageable $78. Click the image below to shop.

Burberry's iconic check scarf in cashmere costs $375 at Bloomingdales.com.*



I think this style is kinda played out (no offense!) but if you love a good classic, then you'll need this scarf in your closet. Get the Burberry look for less from Croft and Barrow, whose acrylic plaid check scarf is now just $13 (down from $26) at Kohls.com.

Is there a good place online or in stores to get nice big full scarves that won't totally use up my fashion budget? I love them, but I also love variety! —Courtney

Moments after reading your question, I got an email from a company called Happy Scarf (www.happyscarf.com) - talk about timing! As a fashion blogger, I get a LOT of solicitations from brands, most of which are useless, but sometimes a friendly email from a relevant brand is an effective way for me to learn about lesser known or new boutiques and share the news with you guys. Anyways, I clicked on over to their site and was happily impressed.





From lightweight summer scarves, to 100% wool winter scarves, oversized styles and even some capes and wraps, Happy Scarf seems to have it all. Most scarves are priced between $20 and $30, and there's a great clearance section showcasing scarves for just $12. Be sure to look at the fabric content so you know what you're getting. FYI, I've never ordered from Happy Scarf myself, nor did they pay me to write this post or anything like that, but they look like a great new source for affordable scarves online. If you order from them, let me know how it goes.

Of course, there's a ton of other places to get scarves. If you happen to live in a big city like NYC or you'll be traveling to one, take advantage of the street vendors. Super cheap and lots of options.

I just picked up a fab scarf at H&M in Barcelona (everyone in that city wears a scarf, EVERYONE). H&M has a good selection right now - most styles are under $15 and come in the latest colors and prints. I also love the scarves at American Apparel, TJ Maxx and Marshalls. Sometimes you can get a pure cashmere scarf at one of these off-price retailers for less than $40. That's pretty much all I'll wear during the bitter winter months, nothing keeps you warmer so it's worth every penny.

I'll pay more for an oversized scarf in wool, cashmere or silk, but otherwise, there's no reason to spend a lot on a scarf. Some cheap scarves look expensive and vice versa. Go for colors and prints you love in fabrics that feel good against your skin. xoBB
