I just love the Duff sisters.

I think that they are really classy and absolutely beautiful.

They know who they are, they don't compete for attention and they genuinely support one another. Their true beauty comes out! They also are amazing dressers!

They have taken their own style, mixed with some California casual and made it their own!

Hilary LOVES scarves, bags and boots. Although lately she has been rocking some pretty fierce heels. She tends to incorporate more of the trends into her wardrobe choices

Haylie likes to dress up the basics and isn't as accessory driven. She has a more sophisticated style.

Maybe I am missing my sisters.

But I hope that we look as cute together as Hilary and Haylie.

Second Celeb Endorsement

Last week I was SUPER excited to have my first celeb endorsed tweet about my blog. And then two days later I got my second! I know it is silly to get so excited but I do!

SO now you know how dorky I really am :)

170: Striped shirts

I am always drawn to striped shirts but tend to stay away in fear of looking heavy and bigger than I am. These three ladies show us how to wear stripes and look svelte all while looking completely different!

Carrie on the way to her honeymoon. I love the shirt paired with gold, sparkly flats. She looks comfy and ready for a long plane ride! Plus she has some of the best legs I have seen. Wow

LOOK! Haylie is wearing the J Brand cargos that I want to buy for my weight loss! I LOVE the beige and white stripes to offset the olive green. Her shoes and bag compliment the outfit instead of take away. She looks happy and fashionable.

Rachel has brought the 70's to 2010.

I am obsessed with this outfit and I am dying to find a pair of bell bottoms to add to my wardrobe. The wavy hair, flowy shirt and jeans make such a free flowing look!

114: all about the BF's

Nothing makes me happier than wearing my boyfriend jeans. They are the most comfy pants I have ever owned. Did I mention that I own 3 different pairs? Like I said...LOVE! The reason I own more than one pair is due to the fit and the shoes I can wear them with. I have a pair that is not super baggy that look good with a lot of my heels and booties. I have a cropped pair that doesn't need to be rolled up as much that looks great with flats and sandals. And then I have  baggy pair that I tend to dress up so I don't look so sloppy but I also throw on a sweatshirt and flip flops for those "I just don't care" days. Plus they look good with most everything: basic t, flowy blouse, flirty tank top, cardigans, blazers and on and on! And you can accessorize the heack out of them. Fedoras, scarves, chunky jewelry and head bands. The possibilities are endless! They are perfect.

This picture of Hilary Duff is exactly the look I am talking about above. Casual, comfy and cute!

Flats, a BIRKIN and a colorful scarf.

GREAT accessories.

Miss Haylie looks darling as well.

Oversized aviators.

Fantastic Statement Necklace.

Color of the season dress.

Lovely knotted, neutral heels.

SASSY SISTERS!

Seventy: Look for less

Chambray is a huge color for spring.

I loved this picture of Haylie Duff sporting the trend.

On celebstyle.com they try and find the exact outfit that a celebrity is wearing. I love the outfit but I would not spend $2800 on one outfit (the Vince top is $185).

I wanted to see if I could find the look, accessories and all, for $500 bucks. I went to Nordstrom.com to find everything.

Here is what I came up with...

Trouve Light Chambray top. TBD. $58

Hue denim jeggings. Hosiery. $32

Marc by Marc Aviators. Accessories. $98

Michael Michael Kors. Womens shoes. $99.90 sale item

Gianni Chiarini Italian leather hobo. Handbags. $158

DKNY watch. Jewelry. $85

Mandy's look total: $531.90

I went over by 30 bucks...but I got everything including a real leather bag. Not too shabby.

Do you spend a lot on trends or do you find a cheaper way to incorporate?
