Deal Scoop: Groopdealz 'Shop the Look' Feature


Shop the Look on Groopdealz - great way to style a complete outfit on the cheap!

Groopdealz - one of my favorite daily deal sites - just got even better with their new Shop the Look feature (see our round up of 6 must-bookmark daily deal sites HERE). The looks are totally similar to outfits you see on Pinterest and wish you could copy, and well, now it's easier than ever to do just that.

The Shop the Look feature is also a lot like my Dress by Number posts, but since Groopdealz is a store, they create the look and let you shop all the pieces you need to get the look in one convenient spot. Yeah, I'm kinda jealous - I've always dreamed of creating a site that lets you buy my celebrity-looks-for-less with one click but we're not that fancy. Oh well!

Head over to Groopdealz.com to check out today's featured look which includes a fabulous polka-dot sweater. I just bought my first polka dot sweater from ideeli last week and I can't wait to wear it once the weather cools down - now I have some inspiration for how to style it!

Target Fall 2013 Lookbook


Target Fall 2013 Lookbook

This season, Target enlisted the help of Atlantic-Pacific blogger Blair Eadie to style their fall '13 look book. It's been out for a while but I'm just getting around to posting it now, so hopefully you'll still find some inspiration! There are so many fun things for when the weather cools down, from colorful sweaters to cozy jackets and day-to-night dresses. Floral prints, stripes, camo and polka dots are all back as are jewel tones, plaid and houndstooth. I think Blair brings a fresh perspective, layering the looks in a playful and modern way. After my last ho-hum trip to Target, this look book makes me eager to go back and see what I can find! Which looks do you love?
