Fall Jackets

Sorry its been so long since I've blogged, I have been slightly busy with our kitchen remodel! I will post about that soon, I promise!

But for now, lets talk about Fall! AH, Fall weather, my absolute favorite! Favorite time of year, favorite CLOTHES to wear! Layering, jackets, jeans, boots, you name it I LOVE it!
Jackets like I mentioned are my favorite, I could have one in every color/style if the budget allowed, or my hubbie! :)
Anything from the military style jacket, motorcycle jacket, blazers.. love them!
Here's some styles that are on the runway, and how you can take them for your own, b/c lets be honest, a $1200 jacket just isn't as cute then one that you can actually tell everyone how much it was and not be embarrassed but proud that you saved so much mula!

And here's some that we can actually wear AND afford!

Here's one from Forever 21: Only $26!

Love this from Nordstrom: And only $39!! WHAT?? :)


This one from BB Dakota is adorable, love the military look, and around $70.


And here's one from Gap, very popular this season is the 80's rolled up sleeve blazer, who can forget, makes me think of Breakfast Club, love it!

Love this military inspired jacket from Forever 21.. um, definitely only $24.80!! so fab!


Happy fall shopping ladies, go get cozy fabulous jackets!

Preg & Posh

Pregnant & Posh by CHEAP*CHIC featuring Miss Selfridge

Hello all you cute preg mommy's!
I wanted to share some cute ideas for outfits for you while your bun is cooking in the oven.
You don't have to spend a fortune to look fabulous while preg, and you don't have to buy a ton of things to make your outfits work.
When I was pregnant, I didn't really even wear maternity clothes until the last month of my pregnancy when the little rubber band that i put in on the button of my jeans was popping off! And now they have things like the belly band that you can put on, and just leave your pants unbuttoned and let that cute belly hang out!
I would get my shirts a size or 2 bigger than I normally wear,(again not maternity shirts) and I would layer.
So if I had a shirt that I loved and it started to get "shorter" as my belly got bigger, I would layer a tank top underneath it to make it last longer, and give it a totally different look!

And you know by now, diaper bags are really just a thing that you get to look cute..oh yea, and also carry diapers in..
but here's the deal, you don't have to go out and buy an expensive diaper bag that you really won't use after they're done with a bottle, you can go get a fabulous bag that you love, and then after you're done with bottles/diapers, you can still use it for just YOU! (or then snacks/toys/etc)
So you don't have to be frumpy or baggy while your pregnant, you can look cute, sexy, even though you're wondering when you see your naked preg body in the mirror how your body can actually look like that!!
A pregnant woman is a very sexy and amazing thing, own it, and love the fact that your body is growing for your baby, and there are those that would kill to be able to have what you have.
Keep those belly's looking cute!

"Rompin' Around"

Romp Around by CHEAP*CHIC featuring Dorothy Perkins jewelry

So I know its been a while since I've posted, we're on vacation, and my days are running together... is it really the middle of July??

So I thought I'd talk about my new favorite little trend... Rompers!

I love these, and yes when you see one on a rack you may be taken back to the 70's a bit. Or the idea of a "romper" puts visions of toddlers walking around with buttons at the bottom to change a diaper... NOT the same! There ain't no smocking here ladies!

These by themselves for some of you might seem a little scary, or not for you.. but there's tons of different versions that are out. The shorts style that are pictured here, or full on pants. We're not wearing sequins or polyester fabric here, this is a very toned down look from the one we envision when we think of rompers or jumpsuits.

I love this denim one with the spaghetti straps, its very girly, and easy to take from look to look. If you want more preppy, then add some more conservative accessories to it. If you're more funky, then go all out and add some funky gladiator sandals or some wedges to it.
With a basic piece, you can really make it your own, and not look like everyone else.
And lets be honest, this style can hide a multitude of sins ladies, the butt or tummy a little saggy, these are a flowy look and hide that little extra lovin' that YOU only will know about! ;)

Jean Jacket

Summer Wind by CHEAP*CHIC on Polyvore.com

First of all, LOVE getting your comments and emails about the blog. Keep em' coming! Love your ideas to stay cheap in a chic world too! Let me know what you love that is cheap, and let me know anything you want to know more about, love all the tips I can get! :)

So, a jean jacket is an absolutely wonderful item to have in your wardrobe that you can use with TONS of different outfits! It ties them together, an instant layering piece that isn't frumpy.

Here are two looks that have the exact same jacket, you can go ultra casual, or a little more girly and more dressed up.
Be sure that you really try one on that definitely has a fit to it, but isn't tight! There's a big difference in fitted and just plain ole tacky! (that's a technical term by the way!) =)
So don't be scared to bring the jean jacket back, even if you were wearing tight rolled jeans and high tops the last time you had it, everything comes back around my friend, only better!
