    8 Under $20: Rompers

    When rompers first hit runways and stores a few seasons ago, I was pretty skeptical — I wasn’t so sure anyone with any sort of shape could ever pull them off this particular fashion staple from our parents’ days needed a comeback. But they’ve had some pretty good staying power this time around, and I’m starting to think I might have judged rompers too quickly.

    Budget Stylista: It’s All About the Flats

    It’s still too cold for sandals and wedges (especially this April where Detroit witnessed a 4-inch snow storm on April 18th! WTF, Mother Nature?!), but we shudder at the thought of having to tuck our calves into our boots for the 1,478th day in a row. Flats are the perfect in-betweener.

    Now that hot weather has started to creep in, I’m seeing girls busting out of their shirts their brightly-colored bags. Turquoise, hot pink, neon orange – I’ve seen, and loved, it all. After all, summer is the perfect time to rock a daring purse; all the scenery around is bright and sunny, flowers are blooming, the sun is shining and you’re walking on the boardwalk, sporting a handbag in a spectacular shade!
