Capes are now totally on trend and hot for this fall/winter. Unfortunately my wallet isn’t down with her expensive taste, so I went in search for more budget friendly options and there are plenty out there that won’t break the bank, especially with the holidays quickly approaching. Yeah – that! The key to the cape is proportion.

While, the winter months are definitely not my favorite- all of the knitwear in stores right now is making me crave for cooler weather. And for a super affordable take on the trend, check out Forever 21. Lately I’ve been gravitating towards anything chunky and cozy when I’m out shopping.

The official start of summer is finally here and a few hot trends are beginning to emerge… and believe it or not, crochet is one of them!! Anything shorter and you run the risk of looking very 90210-ish (the first time around)…so make sure to keep it right around waist-length.

And of course it’s all about you you style them that will make the difference between Cheap or Chic. Now to be perfectly honest, I still have still not purchased a pair of harem pants for myself because while I liked the trend, the whole drop crotch thing is not going to look cute on me!

Corduroy used to seem frumpy and not so chic until they took on the skinny trend. They come in 4 classic and vintage inspired colors, I want the flint gray, but if you want to make a bigger statement, have fun with the tomato. Now cords are oh-so chic and can go from preppy to edgy depending on what they are paired with.

This reversible Navajo blanket Cardigan is one of my absolute favorites right now…but $495 is a bit out of my price range…the print is very similar to the popular Fair Isles trend and the loose style is perfect for belting. However a more affordable option I found is from ASOS.

But that doesn’t mean I can’t get excited when such things make their way over to the fashion universe. Once I started looking, I discovered lots of incarnations of the galactic trend. Thankfully, there are lots of possibilities for women like myself with a non-supermodel or pop-star budget.

After I saw these gorgeous Theodora & Callum wedges I came to the conclusion that the best way to wear this trend may just be on my feet…it’s a lot harder to un flatter a foot than a figure! If you want a designer buy for less, Tory Burch makes a tribal flip flop for under $50. How about these bold ones?

If you’re going to try this trend, take a tip from Miranda Kerr. Her neutral, simple separates don’t stand in the way of the statement pant–a tailored blazer and pointed flats make this stye effortless and the color scheme blends perfectly with her multicolored trousers. But, don’t think green is the only way to go!

After all, the fit through the hips is somewhat loose so you really want to make sure you define your waist under all that bulk. Some of you might be getting fashion flashbacks to the harem pant trend that we saw last year, but these new trousers are a much more wearable version of that thanks to better (more fitted) tailoiring.

One of this springs biggest trends is bold color. This trend can go two ways: 1) for the bold, no-holds-bar fashionistas out there, take it all in and just go for it…and 2) for the “taste testers&# , mix splashes of color with your more neutral color palettes.

On top of the basic cost of your bill each month for text messaging and making calls, tack on 30+ dollars for a data package, and another 200+ dollars for the phone itself.

I’ve been a little leery of the pointy-toe shoe trend simply because I still have fashion nightmares of the kind of pointy shoes I wore the first time this trend was big…the really long, skinny toe that made my size 6 feet look like they were a size 10. My favorite so far is this Rya pair from Aldo.

However, make sure you stick to one gingham piece at a time to make sure you don’t overload the eye and turn your outfit into a costume from Dukes of Hazard. Or if you just want to take the trend for a small test drive start with a Top Shop cross-body bag or just a cotton button up from J.Crew or the Gap.
