Yale Girl: A Fashion Adventure

I need a new blazer-- any suggestions?

Fri, 27 Jan 2012 10:56:26 -0500

Preferably grey or navy with a little bit of a stretch. I’ll be doing my own search and posting the results too!

I’ve been looking for the right cocktail ring for a while now and this may just fit the bill. I love the misty stone and the tiny rhinestones seem like they are just the right amount of sparkle. The best part is, the color means it will go with anything! And $58 doesn’t seem too bad for something so pretty.

The Love Beret. Wearing my hearts from head to toes this Valentine’s Day.

This hat is so adorable! The creator says it’s part of her “hairstyles” collection (doesn’t it look like tiny little buns?) but I think it looks sweet even without that. Hats can be hit or miss even as they are so necessary in the chilly northeast— do you agree that this is a hit?

Again, something that makes me feel like if I put it on, my cool factor would rise an immeasurable amount. Unfortunately, in return my bank account would be minus $260. I may only be able to fantasize about them, but these earrings have made me realize one thing: where have neon safety pins been all my life?

Wow, I love these shoes! Firstly, that baby blue is so sweet but fun and secondly, that bow is amazing. So sculptural! So fun! I know a bow can be a predictable decoration for a shoe, but on this one it seems all new again. (Don’t mind me while I geek out about bows for a while).

And I know this is boring, but that heel height is so practical. Please be mine?

Do you want all the compliments this summer when you clip-clop down the boardwalk? If that answer is yes (as it should be) then you may have to get these awesome sandals from Modcloth. Perfect with some high-waisted shorts, a cropped shirt and a blazer, maybe? How would you wear them?

I can never resist turquoise. And this coat is on sale! (Reduced to $71.62). Perfect for spring isn’t it? I’m a sucker for peter pan collars.

Tue, 24 Jan 2012 10:24:06 -0500

As promised, following my previous post on Valentine’s Day, lingerie for the most lingerie-friendly holiday. I tried to be as conservative with price as possible, but it can be quite difficult when lingerie can be very expensive pieces of lace and silk! That’s probably why I like it so much. I’ve found many more pieces on my Have to Have list, so if these don’t please you, check them out. I know hearts are cheesy, but they are really quite adorable on this very cheesy holiday, aren’t they? And I think I chose enough of a range that I think any girl would love them.

Sometimes fashion is so hard to reach, so very far away. Incorporating something avant garde, something wacky is very difficult— this amazing bustier is exactly what I wish I could add into my wardrobe and show off my adventurous side. $190 is steep, but not unimaginable; is it too much to pay for something that can transform you into an otherworldly fashionista?

Sun, 22 Jan 2012 20:40:05 -0500

It’s very hard to figure out what to give on Valentine’s Day or worse, how to get what you want. Maybe you should just send your boyfriend or girlfriend a link to this list to give them a hint? A little bit funny, a little bit cute and all in all full of love. (Also good gifts for friends— I think the “List of bad kissers” journal is good for that friends who always seems to be unlucky in love). I’m also going to make a little list of reasonably priced Valentine’s Day lingerie ideas soon, if your interests lie in that direction.

Would you want this for Valentine’s Day?

In the cold days of winter, it can be hard to find the right footwear. How can you find something that is warm, stylish and fits your personality? If you’re the kind of person who loves her converse to death, maybe these are you new winter staples (the faux shearling lining is the perfect touch). I tend to go with a more classic personal style myself, but these cuties feel like they are calling to me— maybe I could be a little more badass?

This Melie Blanco bag is so perfect for a ladylike spring. Someone I’m following on Have to Have turned me on to it and it has jumped to number one in the “needs” category. Plus it has an shoulder strap, which makes it actually usable. The best part? It’s $100, which makes it not totally-impossibly-incredibly out of reach (like the things I usually want). What do you guys think?

Everyone seems to be digging headbands. Check out this great @sendthetrend headband spotted by @yalegirl!

Everyone has that friend who’s a huge camera buff— always snap, snap, snapping like you’re own personal paparazzo (except more often than not they’re shooting a puddle or the sky or a cool building, not you). Or maybe you’re even that friend. Cameras can produce such amazing photos, but they also inspire all of these awesome items, perfect gifts for any budding Ansel Adams or anyone addicted to Instagram.

Get these camera items (and others) from my list here.

Do you want to get snap happy with these pieces?

I adore this bag— it is so cute! And I may or may not have eaten cake for breakfast before (it was delicious) so I think the message is perfect for me. It’s number one on my have to haves for summer!

Guess what, I'm back!

Thu, 19 Jan 2012 11:15:38 -0500

Yale Girl is back at Yale and back online. Let the fashion procrastination begin! Any fashion resolutions for the new year?

The holidays are the time for lusting over things you can’t have and wishing you had a rich maiden aunt to buy you everything you dream of. Exhibit A is these boots that I adore, that are on sale and that are still so expensive. If I wasn’t Jewish, I would be begging Santa for them right now.

The College Girl’s Gift Guide: 21 under $21 volume II

I told you I wanted to make a gift guide that was realistic for college students. I made this photoset, and this is the second part. Enjoy!

You can buy all these items here:

So, any favorites?

When you’re a student, your budget is limited, especially after all those expensive books and late night chinese food and whatever else. When you’re shopping for the holidays, then, you can’t just be going crazy buying those beautiful (but expensive) gift guides that suggest 12 months of cheeses or Miu Miu booties (as much as you might want them). Enter the College Girl’s Gift Guide: 21 under $21. Basically, I have chosen my 21 top gift picks for this holiday season so that everything in this photoset (and on my Have to Have list) is $21 or less. This is only part 1— the rest are coming. For now, here’s my list:

So, guys, what do you think? Does this give you good ideas in your budget?
