Paige Denim's 'Verdugo' utra skinny jeans in a subdued gray leopard print are $94.99 (down from $189). Grace from Stripes & Sequins got hers for even less at Nordstrom Rack (plus I love how she styled them).

While at Kohl's the other day (surprise, surprise), I spotted these Celebrity Blues cheetah print jeans and was instantly reminded of the Paige version. They look really cute in person and I definitely think grown-ups can wear them despite the fact that they're made for juniors. Get them for $25.99 (down from $44) at kohls.com.

Thanks to a tweet from my girl @Cheapalicious, I just snagged a free Target beauty bag! That's right, free goodies from Target Style will be arriving at my doorstep within 6-8 weeks, and I didn't pay a cent. Not even shipping! Get yours here. Supplies are limited, so don't delay - this offer won't last long!

Kitsch hair ties are all the rage right now. They're supposed to be really gentle on hair (no breakage or pulling) and look super pretty whether worn on a ponytail or your wrist. You can get a 5 pack of these nylon hair ties in a bunch of fun colors and patterns on mykitsch.com for between $10 - $16. Anthropologie sells a set of 5 for $12 (here). I first saw them on Cupcakes & Cashmere, and Emily definitely makes these hair ties look irresistible.





Looking for a drugstore alternative? Goody just came out with their own line of ouchless hair ties, and they're just $3.99 for a 5 pack. I haven't seen these online yet as they are so new, but I spied them at my local Target and snapped the photo below. Hopefully they'll come out with more colors and designs. Check Goody.com for a list of retailers that sell them.

I am a teacher and I would like to get a few new things to wear to work (business casual). Help. What pieces should I get? BTW, I live in Houston so I can wear summer pieces for a while. —Stephanie D. via Facebook

Here are some on-trend pieces for fall that you can incorporate into your existing wardrobe to create some fresh new business-casual looks. All items fall into a teacher-friendly price range of under $75. (Click on any item for shopping details.)

My first suggestion would be colored denim, which we're seeing in just about every store right now. Colors that would work for work might include dark burgundy, plum or forest green. Avoid crazy prints and brights (unless that's what you're comfortable in!) Add a casual blazer, t-shirt and boots (or pumps) for a polished yet effortless look.
