So which is it - cake or pie?

After devoting two full hours to shopping for me, my mother insisted on doing a little shopping for herself. I was tired from lugging all my new goods around the mall and cranky (because the line at Auntie Anne’s was too long), but I begrudgingly agreed to accompany her to JC Penney for some sheets.

Obviously, I wasn’t excited about this little trip. Not only was it all the way across the mall, but it was JC Penney – who the hell shops there? But I went; it was the least I could do after she dropped some serious dough on me for my birthday.

We walked in on the 2nd floor and while my mom went to the information counter to find out where her ish was, I looked around the overlit store. I turned to my left and spotted about 20 racks of really ugly mom clothes. Ew. I turned to my right and – WTF – I saw this gorgeous, Missoni-inspired dress.

“JC-Penney sells Missoni?!” I thought to myself.

I walked (OK, maybe I ran) towards the display. When I got closer I realized it was not Missoni, but rather Charlotte Ronson’s line for JC Penney. There was a ton of really adorable stuff (jeans, cute going-out tops, etc.), but this dress was clearly the crown jewel of the line. I instantly fell in love.

I love the bright and graphic top. I love that you can wear it alone or, like the photo, unzip it a bit and add another layer underneath. I love that you can rock the basic black belt that it comes with, or add something a little brighter from your own collection. I love that it’s perfectly appropriate for bar hopping on Saturday night and brunch on Sunday. I love that you can wear it with some cute strappy sandals in the spring, or pair it with black tights and pumps right now. I love that it’s really freaking cheap.

I just L-O-V-E it.

And now that my mom isn’t rushing me through the store to pick up whatever boring white sheets she needs, I’m gonna head back to JC Penney (I know, I never thought I’d say that either) and pick it up.

The recession is bad news for anyone looking to get a job, save some money or sell a house. But it’s great news for fashionistas! Stores that were once dowdy and just screamed “crazy cat lady” are bringing in new designers to create chic lines at lower prices.

Take JC Penney. When was the last time you stopped in there (not counting those post-Starbucks bathroom emergencies)? I know: never. Because their clothes were cheap, outdated and just not cute. Well, that’s not the case anymore! JCP now sells several lines by popular designers (Charlotte Ronson, Nicole Miller, and Allen B. Schwartz, to name a few) and they not only have stuff that is totes cute, it’s totes affordable as well.  I can’t wait to add some of these pieces to my closet… Read More »

JC Penney may not be the same maven of style that is, say, Fifth Avenue, but they have recently rolled out with a few things that are definitely worth a second look. And a purchase. And some instant gratification from wearing it all right outta the store.

Their newest lines come from tons of fabulous, fashionable designers like, Nicole Miller and Ralph Lauren. They are trendy, good quality and easy on the wallet. I don’t know about you, but I’d take a $15 top over an $80 one any day. With prices like these, I can get triple the wardrobe!

Here are a few highlights from JCPenney’s newest collections. Click on the look to get the deets…and buy the item. Read More »

A new school season is here, which means more than new books, new cute boys in class and new dorms. Back to school clothes are one of the most essential things on your list of “To-Do’s” before you pack off for another year of learning and debauchery.

So, where to look for the best finds, as well as the best prices? Check out these stores and, if they’re not near you, pop on their websites!

Target – This is the mini-mall of a college girl’s dream. Here you’ll not only find the best bedspreads and towels, snacks and sodas, but you can now also peruse the clothing section, which seems to be coming out with new high-end-like lines every other day. With prices ranging from $9.99 and up, you’re sure to find some cute basics and exotic prints at this fine, serious leap from Wal-Mart.

Marshalls/TJ Maxx - Get ready to dig, dig, dig, but dig with the best of them because if you do, ladies, you can find the best Seven Jeans, Joe’s Jeans and Theory shirts all for a quarter of the price than on the racks at Nordstroms and Bloomies. Who said we can’t have designer trends in college, despite our almost empty pockets? (Why, I was just in Marshalls today on my lunch break – productive, I know – and I snagged a pair of Joe’s Jeans for just $69.99, a quarter the price than the $200 plus pairs at Bloomies!) Read More »
