Nicole by Nicole Miller 10th Anniversary Collection at JCPenney
Tell all your friends (or keep this fashion secret to yourself): Renowned NYC designer Nicole Miller is celebrating 10 years of partnership at JCPenney with a limited-edition collection that's run-to-your-nearest store good. Talk about longevity, especially in the world of designer collabs and budget fashion! Back in April I got to see the collection first hand at a press preview and I was so impressed by the quality and style of many of the pieces, priced from $38-$120, which feature elevated fabrics and luxury embellishments such as intricate beading and faux fur you won't find in a typical collection.

Capsule Wardrobe
I hope everyone is excited for another week of fashionable, budget-friendly looks! So, as everyone knows, fall is right around the corner. Get ready for pumpkin spice raining from the sky. Do you know what else is exciting about fall? There’s another designer collaboration that'll make you want to swarm Target starting September 27. Adam Lippes for Target is, as cliché as it sounds, going to make everyone mad for plaid. As an inspiration sidebar, I thought that in honor of most everyone going back to school, I would create looks that would be classroom-friendly (shout out to my teacher friends!). Trust me, the Adam Lippes for Target pieces are more than just classroom-friendly, they’re run-the-world friendly. Let’s get this party started!

Sporty Chic: Irina Shayk's Blazer and Wedge Sneaker Look for Less

Irina Shayk - Monochromatic Look
Irina Shayk recently returned from her luxurious Italian vacation in this sporty chic ensemble and we're in love. The monochromatic nature will forever be stylish and I adore how she relaxed the look with her hidden-wedge sneaks — a must-have for petite babes like myself. She also is wearing girlfriend style jeans, which are going to be a huge hit for the fall season, a timeless chic blazer and mixed metal accessories! Perfect for creating a multitude of outfits with your closet pieces. In our version of the look we swapped out the R13 Distressed Boy T ($215) for a basic shirt with a layered necklace that will give a similar, yet pulled-together, style and found these adorable Steve Madden shoes for under $100! Get Irina's look for less with these posh picks, most of which are under $45!
