Grab One While You Can...

Rosette Tee - Forever 21. When you find a basic tee that isn't boring, stock up! This tee is dressy enough for Sunday skirts, and casual enough for shorts. It will also look great layered under cozy cardigans for fall and winter.

Rocker Chic

The 90's are back in a huge way for fall, and hopefully we can do a better job of rocking the grunge look this time around. I love the look of a graphic tee layered under a plaid button down and torn skinnies. Wearing this awesome outfit would make me want to jam out to Hole and Lisa Loeb while watching My So Called Life and Reality Bites. There's nothing better than a little Jordan Catalano in your life.

On the Fence... Denim Leggings

Beyonce, Whitney Port and other celebs are rocking denim as the latest trend in leggings. Part denim, part legging these "stretchy pants" (said with a Nacho Libre twist), just may be the perfect answer to modestly modern layering problems. If you are always tossing skinny jeans under too short dresses or tunic tops, get rid of the bumps and thickness caused by pockets by throwing on a pair of these. Think how great they'll slide under fall boots. I think I'm off the fence and giving denim leggings the go ahead.

Look for Less - Audrina Patridge

I have a confession to make.. I like tie-dye jeans. Whew, now that we got that out of the way, check out how wearable Audrina makes these funky jeans look. Oversized tee, peep toe pumps, cross body bag.. It makes the jeans seem almost like a basic, right? right?

Look for Less - Piped Blazer

Topping the list of must haves for fall is the blazer. Jcrew has this fabulous option in navy blue with white piping that just screams back to school, but comes in a little pricey at $250. To save some cash for other fall purchases, try this version from Aeropostale, now on sale for $40.

Celebrity Inspiration - Elle Macpherson

We can make a button down, faded jeans, a belt, flip-flops and aviators look just as great as Elle Macpherson right? right?? This is a fabulous, classic modest look that can easily be recreated from what is already in your closet.

Mad for Modcloth

This Monday there's a lot to appreciate over at Modcloth. This site does its best to stock only a few sizes in each item so there's little chance of running into someone wearing the same thing. But that does mean that things sell out fast, so if you like it you'd better pick it up quick! Modcloth also stocks interesting one-of-a-kind vintage pieces at affordable prices. Here are our current Modcloth faves.

Plaid, Plaid World

Lately I have been feeling ambushed by plaid.. Its everywhere, on everyone, all day, every day! But I haven't seen ANY plaid that comes close to being as cute as THIS plaid. Maybe there's a good reason for all the madness.

Celebrity Inspiration - Sienna Miller

While it would be tough to recreate Ms Miller's amazing look since she is wearing a gorgeous Diane Von Furstenburg dress that is a bit out of the majority of America's price range, we love to see celebrities covered up and looking fabulous. Go Sienna! Air high-five!

Wednesday Wishlist

Courtesy of Lulu's, Express, Forever 21, Wet Seal and Charlotte Russe.. We have the world's most amazing boyfriend blazer (it has studs! drool), the perfect denim pencil skirt with enough detail to still be interesting, a new way to expose your zipper, a versatile bag with just the right amount of rocker embellishment - a great geometric print dress that is screaming for a pair of destroyed skinnies and some awesome 80's style pumps. I guess this week we're a little bit rock n roll.
