Discount Designer Style Tips- Life secrets for looking great on the cheap(er)

Honestly, this is one of my favorite posts...  Some kid's went to summer camp, I went shopping at discount stores (ok, some trips too)!  I consider myself lucky to have had a mother who from a very early age instilled in me the virtues of looking the best you can with any budget and who taught me how to seek out the best deals. I never (like to) pay full price for anything if there is a saving alternative! For this week's continuing reprise of some of my greatest evergreen material leading up to the 15th anniversary year of FocusOnStyle online, I want to spend this week’s review looking back at how you can get the best deals on great fashion.  Don't forget to tell

The final +J Collection from UNIQLO and Jil Sander

After several successful seasons collaborating with Uniqlo, Jil Sander's +J collection for the Japanese fast fashion giant is unfortunately ending this season. Word is that a Uniqlo collabo with Undercover is up next, which of course we can't wait to get our hands on (we love Undercover), however, we've also been diehard fans of the +J range for its minimal techno separates that harkened back to Jil's own days at her eponymous label. And while her namesake label is thriving in the hands of Raf Simons, Jil's return on the scene with Uniqlo produced what we consider to be one of the greatest collaborations of all time. This season is the last time we'll all be able to score covetable

Adventures In Extremes- Alexander McQueen or Rockport Pumps

Two brands that I never thought I'd put in the same sentence! I've always said not everything appears the same way in a photograph as in real life- it's all about stylist tricks, ya know. On the other hand, having great style is not necessarily about the items themselves but about how YOU put them together. Case in point: A pair of jewel tone pumps.Whoddaevathunk that I would put Alexender McQueen and Rockport in the same sentence? SHOP: DRESS PUMPS But on the other hand, it's the look of a brilliant pop of color on your feet that we're after, and certainly most of us out there can't foot the bill on the McQueen pair.
