Michael Kors Chrono Watch

Remember the last time you saw a stand selling fake Rolex watches (and chances are, that wasn’t too long ago)? Michael Kors had a similar idea by creating a gold watch that is both outlandish, yet fashionable. Better yet, it’s actually from a brand you can trust and sold at an affordable rate ($225).

Edited due to an inquiry. According to Style.com, this watch can be purchased by calling the following number: (212) 971-7800. It doesn’t seem to have its own entry on Michael Kors website, so this seems to be the best way to go.

Chinatown Street Gimmicks

Only a genius like Marc Jacobs could create a luxurious bag that mimics that Canal Street vendors who produce face Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs handbags. However, for those of you who are, like me, on a bit of budget and too fashionable to get the original works, Jack Spade’s Canal Street Coal Bag is a cute solution. Yes it will cost you $85, when you can get one for less than $10. But I doubt that the $10 bag will come in such a cute size with an interior zip pocket, riveted seams, and a reinforced bottom. I also doubt that the handles of the Jack Spade bag will break as often as the vinyl sacks. Trust me on this one because I have had some horror stories that include my groceries taking a roll through Manhattan!

Trend Spotter: Bows

It can be hard to be fashionable, trendy, and still look mature in the summer, because we all just want to get rid of layers of fabric and put on something that lets in the most amount of cool air. However, the best solution for this problem is to wear simple pieces that make grand statements like this Linen Bow-Back Blouse by Ports 1961. The gentle folds of the kimono front give no hint to the three dramatic bows at the back of the shirt, where the back is slightly exposed. This blouse expertly combines ladylike elegance with sexuality in this $395 ivory linen blouse, which would also work well with a brilliant skirt as a summertime wedding ensemble.

Paul Smith Shoe Horn

In my search for the fabled green-soled Paul Smith shoe, I found instead the signature stripe shoe horn. If even Homer Simpson can appreciate a good shoe horn (”Shoe goes on, shoe goes off”), what fashionable dad wouldn’t love it for Father’s Day? Get it for £15

Young, Fabulous & Broke Elizabeth Dress

Like any fashionable college kid, I often feel young, fabulous, and broke. Big emphasis on the broke. That’s why Young, Fabulous & Broke is so close to my heart. I feel like they’re talking about me! Emily Grace has their fabulous Elizabeth Dress for just $106, which is the perfect price for anyone strapped for cash. This is the type of thing all the girls on my campus wear when the weather is hot (paired with gladiator flats) or cold (paired with leggings and fabulous boots). It’s made of 100% jersey modal, so it’s guaranteed to feel silky soft against your skin. A fabulous find for the broke girl of any age!
