Celeb Style on a Dime – Jessica Szohr

Celebs clearly love Aldo (Natalie Portman, Olivia Palermo, etc) and the most recent star to wear the affordable shoe line is Gossip Girl’s Jessica Szohr.

She attended the Pirahna 3D premiere in a ruffled, tiered Marchesa dress and Aldo’s Fawson pumps. The metallic round toe heel perfectly offsets the bold dress.

The Fawson is only available online in limited quantities in black for $44.98, but check your nearest Aldo location for other colors.

Trends for Less – Bodycon Skirt

The bodycon skirt, like it’s sister the bodycon dress, is for the girl who doesn’t mind showing off her curves. It’s great when paired with a showstopping heel and relaxed top to balance out the sexiness of the skirt.

I’ve been swooning over Topshop’s strappy bodycon skirt (left) for a while now. At $55, it’s affordable, but if you’re trying to spend even less cash, Forever 21 has a similar version for less than $20.

Both would look great and turn a few heads.

Kmart Fall Collection

All this week I’ve been hearing about Kmart’s fall collection. Yes, you read correctly, Kmart! Apparently the cheap chic collection has been causing quite a buzz and is even featured in the September issues of mags like InStyle, Vogue and Glamour. So of course I had to get my hands on some photos and give you the dish.

Here’s how the discount retailer describes the collection:

The Fall 2010 Apparel collection is based on the latest trends, pulling from current styles in the fashion world like the Military-inspired Sgt. Pepper Jacket with shoulder embellishments, a Rocker Chic Bomber Jacket and Distressed Skinny Denim.  Fall wardrobe basics like the skinny cargo pant complement bolder looks like the high-waisted peplum military jacket. Where Kmart really stands out is in the details. Fine stitching, fully lined jackets, and streamlined silhouettes.

Wardrobe Essentials for Fall

Though we have a few more weeks to summer, fall is rapidly approaching. That doesn’t just mean a change in temps but it’s time to put away the sandals and shorts and get into a lightweight jacket or wide leg pants. Though some pieces can transition to fall (adding tights under your mini or a cardigan over your favorite tank), autumn brings us new fashion finds.

Below are 5 wardrobe essentials for fall, and they’re all less than $100.

Trench coat:
A trench should be a staple in every woman’s closet. You’ll wear it for years and the classic cut is flattering for all figures. You’re sure to see most trenches in beige or camel, but some brighter hues are also on the market for the lady who wants a pop of color.
