Budget Stylista: Polka Dots
Polka dots had a big come back this season. Modern takes on polka-dots have been shown all over the runway by designers who were inspired by the vintage print. Polka dots manage to make a dress look chic without being too busy. They can also make a classic purse look up-to-season. This trend ranges from bold to understated, and is far from just black and white.

Rent The Runway Look of the Week: Tights Galore
When I'm getting ready to go out during the fall, I find myself having to choose between wearing the cute dress I’ve been dying to wear but being freezing with bare legs…or choosing a “tights appropriate” dress. It seems like that supercuteIcannotwaittowear dress never quite works with tights.
Rent The Runway Look of the Week: Dressing for Date Night
I still prefer dinner with face to face conversations over texting, I don’t think a three game winning streak with a cute guy at the beer pong table qualifies as getting to know each other, I and believe there’s no better combination since PB&J than dinner and a movie. And since dating seems to be a dying thing on college campuses, when date nights do come around, I feel all sorts of pressure to look extra good.

Versatile Style: fluXuS Sundance Top in Ikat
As it is now August, I'm starting my hunt for transition pieces. That means summer shapes that are going to carry me through until the time when I'm busting out my sweaters and packing away my shorts. I've really built up my tank top collection this summer, focusing on pieces that I can wear in a variety of settings and, hopefully, once school beings again. Earthy prints have been on my radar and I think I've found a great piece in the fluXuS Sundance Top in Ikat.
Versatile Style: Gentle Fawn Wilderness Dress
My summer thus far has been filled with backyard BBQs, nights out with girls, day-trips and weekends on the lake. Although shorts and tank tops cut it for all these events, sometimes I just want to be girly and wear a casual, summery dress. Cue the Gentle Fawn Wilderness Dress!
Styling Naven Pieces to Fit All Your College Needs
It was pretty much Christmas in July last week when I discovered this brand Naven (well, that and the most awesome happy hour ever). It’s based in Los Angeles and is run by two twin sisters. Think bold colors, flattering shapes, but a bit of edge to spice things up. The best part about these clothes is that the color palette and simple silhouettes are easy to accessories differently—every fashionistas dream.
Versatile Style: Winter Kate Red Roque Top
In the past few weeks, I've found myself doing the drinks-and-apps thing quite a bit. It's been a nice way to catch-up with girls from university, my cousins who were in town, etc. However, I always find these outfits rather tricky to pull together. I want to wear something eye-catching, yet comfy - a functional statement piece. I decided to see what style icon Nicole Richie had and, no surprise, she delivered.
Versatile Style: Nasty Gal Fringed Crochet Vest
I was assessing my closet and noticed that I do own quite a few pieces inspired by this hip decade: the flared jeans, maxi skirts, braided headbands (worn straight across the forehead of course!). However, I'm missing one thing - a crochet vest! Since this is such a trendy piece, I didn't want to break the bank with it and luckily Nasty Gal came to my rescue with their Fringed Crochet Vest.
Budget Stylista: 4th of July Finds
Bring on the hot dogs, the sparklers, singing Bye Bye Miss American Pie on repeat and...the tacky American flag apparel. But this year my friends, there is no need to don that over-sized American flag shirt from 1998. You can lose the red bandanna and pig tails because that looks good on no one (unless you're 5 and even then I'm wary).
