It's All About the "O" Dontcha Know


Hey kittens! Are you a fan of the big "O"??? Overstock.com that is! If you weren't aware (as if) Overstock offers trends for every It Girl at recessionista prices. Whether you're the chicster pictured on the Hamptons party scene pages, the preppy listening to Frank Sinatra while sunbathing on Palm Beach, the bohemian smuggling her new iPhone into a seven-day yoga retreat, the urbanite sporting designer sneakers to stake out her spot at “Shakespeare in the Park” or the tomboy wearing her favorite jeans until they’re hanging by the thread, you can find key pieces to fit right in with your current wardrobe. The best part? Prices are up to 60% off retail and shipping never exceeds $2.95 - so it’s “O” so quick and easy to get those sought-after looks for less.

Personally, I like to incorporate key pieces from all of the It Girl styles mentioned above into my Summer wardrobe. A girl's personality changes from moment to moment after all! For instance:

I would totally rock the Chicster fedora. Sure they can be kinda douche-y in every day life but I would wear mine on vacation to take the place of last year's floppy straw hat. Very now.


This one is hard because I am the antithesis of a Tomboy but Wayfarers have become classics in the category of Accessories: Sunglasses. They look great on everyone from my mom to my 17- year-old cousin and the cheap ones work just as well as the real deals!

Since everyone and their BFF is already wearing some form of the bejeweled strappy flats, I will instead take the urbanite's Tan satchel! It's utilitarian design is perfect for work or stomping the city streets, and the color definitely says summer. Yummy.

Nothing says easy breezy bohemian like a Maxi dress! Effortless dressing at its finest! I love a look that looks as if you put no thought into it at all (when of course you did). And I'm going with the red (oo-ooop!) because I love a pop of color in the summer.


Finally, Ms. Preppy had me at diamonds but rather than go with what is sparkly (as usual) I'm going to be practical and go with the silk scarf. Layering with scarves is going to be huge for Fall, so why not get started now? Something about them says, "I'm jetsetting to Paris after lunch darling, call you when I get there!"
