If you own a TV, read magazines or basically walk down the street, you have seen the hype that Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland is creating. From billboards to O.P.I’s line of custom “Wonderland” colors…there is no denying the impact Alice is having on all of us. So what’s the big deal? I started doing my Wonderland research…and there’s no surprise why people have become enchanted with this movie.

Let me just start by saying that I am a little tired. I work at a Insurance Company were the dress code is not " strictly enforced" but we still are not able to wear what you would like. I am sitting here thinking "Wow. Breck you look horrible". I have really let myself go. My appearance is not what a " Affordable Fashionista Blogger " should look like.

The people have spoken. It seems we, as a group, loathe sloppy dressing. As such, next Friday (the last Friday in March) March 26th, shall now be celebrated as " Stay Fabulous or Get Slapped Friday ". Get your slapping hands ready ladies, and be prepared to look fabulous. Let's school some sweat pant wearing sons of guns. (NOT an acceptable outfit for SFoGSF, I just hate a pictureless post).

Hi Everyone! I feel like it has been such a looong time since I last posted. it is funny how once you start blogging, it really does become a part of you. This is the first decent outfit I have put together all week. I don't know what it is, but I am just dragging. If I had to take a guess though, I think it is just that I am SOOO over Winter and really want some nice warm Spring weather to start emerging; however I live in New England and warm weather just teases us here until at least May.

I can’t tell you how excited I got when I realized that Converse made a thinner-soled, more feminine (although they do have them for guys!) Chuck Taylor sneaker (no seriously: how long have these been around? Does anyone know? I certainly haven’t seen them until now…), but with a sleeker silhouette! Presenting, the Converse… … Light !

I’m not a fan of most floral prints…they bring back bad memories of the matching Laura Ashley bedspreads and window treatments I used to have in my room growing up! But for Spring florals have gotten a serious makeover and this dress is the perfect example!! I’m totally digging the retro-inspired silhouette, the peplum skirt and this print is right on trend…countless designers sent abstract, watercolor prints down their Spring 2010 runways.

I love your site – it’s sooooo fun! I need a little help… I am in a wedding at the end of March. And my best friend is giving us bridesmaids the freedom of getting our own dresses with 2 requirements…the dress must be coral and it needs to be ‘vintage-y’ Do you have any suggestions where I could find a coral color dress, with a vintage look – without breaking the bank?

With all the Robert Pattinson craziness that swept the Big Apple yesterday, I think its time that I gave a huge style shout out to his leading lady (both onscreen and off)… I want to say that I have never read the Twilight series nor have I seen one frame of the movies, but since I’m a total pop-culture and entertainment news junkie I know all about the characters and a lot about Kristen Stewart.

One of the most popular posts (ever) written on this blog was about a bikini…last year Victoria’s Secret came out with the cutest ruffled bikini top and I swear I still get emails about where to find one just like it. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to locate it since–even after countless emails to VS about bringing that style back–but luckily for all of you ruffles are one of the biggest trends for the Spring/Summer and Old Navy has picked up on it!

I never really thought twice about hair extensions until this past fall. A girl I worked with had the most beautiful hair I had ever seen. Very Megan Fox like…long, dark and super straight. I lusted over it for weeks until I got up enough courage to compliment her on her gorgeous locks. To my surprise she responded that she had hair extensions. I was utterly in shock.

Well she did it again! Lauren Conrad’s line for Kohls is back and better then ever. Her take on California’s laid back style is seen throughout her entire collection. From lightweight jumpsuits to airy and ruffled camisoles are just a few pieces of LC’s fab line. Though the California bomb-shell made her debut on MTV’s hit T.V show Laguna Beach she proved to all of us she’s one fashion icon and designer that is here to stay!

I can hardly contain myself. The arrive date is near for the long awaited Garden Collection from H&M. I am like OCD when it comes down to something that I really want and I know that there is a limited supply. I have called H&M at least 10 times in the past two weeks just to make sure that I have not missed beat. I have even set a reminder on my work calendar so that I can call right as the store opens to put certain items on hold.

I am not a huge fan of St Patrick’s Day. I’m not a big drinker, and contrary to what my name might lead you to believe, I am not Irish. I don’t like green, and I resent being told what to wear. I wear a bit of green anyway, because you never know what kind of zealous nutcase you might run into, running around the office or wherever, gleefully pinching everyone not wearing green.

Just in time for your upcoming vacation(s) and smells good enough to eat (and… can actually be eaten!). Intrigued… Well for starters, one of the MANY reasons I loooove coconut oil is the smell.

Then, there’s the fact that it’s multi-purpose: I put it in my hair as a leave-in conditioner (rinse with normal shampooing and conditioning), on my body, especially in the summer (it absorbs very qu

And you can’t beat that price! Fit: I just tried these on today and I’m totally dying over them! Unfortunatly they ran big (around the ankles) and they didn’t have a size 5.5 in stock so I would order down if you have small feet.

Old Navy never disappoints when it comes to their 2 for $5.00 flip flops. Not only is the price jaw dropping but so is the variety. You can get these must-haves in stripes, exotic prints or even your basic solids!

Spring Time has finally arrived. For some of us they were still having snow in some parts of the US on Saturday. Not here in Georgia it was a beautiful and warm. So what did I do to take advantage of this Glorious Day?, I shaved my legs after them being in hibernation for months and put on a skirt. YYYEEEAAAHHHH FOR ME!!!! But anyways, it is definitely time to get everything in order for Spring Cleaning.

How cute is this?! Diane Kruger , you take risks, and I love you for that, but I think this particular ensemble is a nice balance between fashion forward and everyday trendy. I know, some of you might be saying… “it’s so 90s… I don’t know…” and… I understand that. Just keep in mind you can always do a bit of tweaking to make the look your own. What’s great about this is that it’s pretty comfortable and pretty easy to find the essential pieces that compose the look.

With a hint of Spring in the air, I know it’s that time of year when I need to bust out a new coat…a trench coat to be exact. It’s just the thing to get your through April’s showers and cool mornings! Over the years I’ve collected a few of these styles but they all seem a little dated and in major need or revamping now, so inspired by this amazing cropped Burberry coat from their Spring 2010 collection I paid a visit to my tailor!
