I'm not usually the type that buys from Payless, nor do I know anyone that does. But... the new collection by Alice + Olivia is just perfection. This grey knit wedge named Hudson does the trick (they also have a red patent wedge-HOT!). Payless $50

Go watch Taking Woodstock in style with these mini round sunnies from Urban Outfitters $20
This oversized denim shirt can easily be stylized with studs or left unbuttoned with a loose white tee under it or even cinched with a skinny belt. Possibilities are endless. Absolute recessionista fab find! H&M, $50
This striped boat-neck top is perfect tucked in a seamed black miniskirt or under a faded denim jacket, sail away with the handsome low price. BDG, $48
I don't care if floral is in or out, this floral blazer drives me wild. It can literally be paired with anything except...more floral. keep that in mind. Big flower ring is okay but floral leggings or blouse to match is too armstrong gardens for me. Pair basics with this and turn them into fantastics! Topshop, $90
If you have been living under a rock for the past 3-5 years then you probabley haven't heard of any eco-friendly collections, to enlighten your virgin minds, the first eco-friendly line everyone should know about first is TOMS. It all started out with plain canvas flats; now TOMS carries patterns, boots and lace-ups! TOMS, $44-$90
Hot pink! not the easiest color to wear but with just a touch of it (like this scarf) it makes anything glow. Wear it with a studded blazer also at Express & torn up short shorts. I saw a girl wear it with a full on grey ensemble including grey patent heels, it looked amazing which is why I need a hot pink scarf. Express, $20
the end.
