Steal the Style: Top 2011, Early 2012 Accessory Trends

As an avid bargain-hunter, I know a thing or two about browsing designer duds and buying look-alikes that fit within my not-so-designer budget.  With so many amazing trends this past year—from crazy neon colors to classic leopard prints—2011 has been a year of fashion gold. And when it comes to accessories, the look-for-less sunglasses, handbags, and scarves of 2012 have sent me straight to fashion heaven.

If you’re a frugal fashionista like me and you haven’t already, set up a Polyvore account (and follow me and Maggie, we love new friends and inspirations)! This lovely/amazing/rock-your-world website allows you to “clip” clothing and accesssories to your profile, browse designer and affordable pieces, follow the latest styles, and gather clothing creativity from other set creators. It basically makes your perfect closet dreams come true.

Below are a couple of Splurge vs. Steal sets I put together featuring the top  accesssories of 2011 and trending ones for 2012. Use the “steals”—all found at SunglassWarehouse.com, HandbagHeaven.com, and AffordableScaves.com—to get similar looks without maxing out your credit card (or sending you into a psychological meltdown). Most of these look-alikes are unbelievably similar to their famous counterparts, making it that much easier to trick your girlfriends into thinking they’re the real deal. No worries, it’ll be our little secret.

 

Steals: black round sunnies · mod round shades · brown oversized sunglasses  · pink cat eye sunglasses · clear nerd glasses · Gaga glasses  · classic cat eyes · tortoise aviators · retro wayfarers  · red wayfarers

Find out more about the designers and costs of the Splurges  here.

Steals: quilted handbag · leopard clutch wallet  · yellow mini crossbody · navy satchel · cream handbag · colorblock brown bag · black satchel ·  quilted navy tote

Find out more about the designers and costs of the Splurges here.

Steals: tan  scarf · plaid scarf · leopard scarf  · faux fur shawl  · patterned grey scarf  · grey fur scarf  · red circle scarf ·  green loop scarf  · rasberry infinity scarf ·  polkda dot scarf · silk  scarf ·  chain-patterned scarf

Find out more about the designers and costs of the Splurges here.

 

Don’t forget to join our Polyvore group Contest with Real Prizes! and stay tuned for chances to style and win sunglasses and other fabulous products in 2012.

The New Year calls for a new, fabulous you, and with these stylish deals, you’re well on your way to crossing that resolution off your list. How easy was that?

Bieber v. Swift: Who’s Better?

Do you remember Justin Bieber crashing Taylor Swift’s concert in LA last month? It made us wonder, who’s the better artist? We decided there was no better way to judge this head to head competition than to ask the people who love them most.

We’re fans of Justin Bieber; he does have 10 million more Facebook fans that Taylor Swift. Our sister store, Handbag Heaven, loves Taylor Swift, but they’re biased because they adore her fashion sense.  They accuse us of being biased because we walk around in Justin Bieber sunglasses all day (and look pretty fly in them too). Since we can’t agree, we decided the only way to find out who’s the better artist is to take it to the fans! We partnered with Justin Bieber Zone and Taylor-Swift.nu to host this friendly showdown. We want to find out once and for all which artist fans love most: Justin Bieber or Taylor Swift? Tell us who you think is the best superstar and you’ll be entered for a chance to win concert tickets!

Gossip Girl Gift Pack Giveaway

Hey there Upper East Siders!

Ready for the season 5 premiere of Gossip Girl? The GG fanatics here at SunglassWarehouse.com have been counting down the days until our favorite television show returns from its summer hiatus and the gang heads to Hollywood, baby!

We’ll finally be able to have our questions answered: Will Blair go through with the wedding? Serena’s in LA? Sounds like trouble. What about the boys? Did they survive their summer travels? Last but not least, what was with the pregnancy test? AH! We can’t wait!

In an attempt to take our wandering minds off of the potential plot twists-and-turns and lessen our GG withdrawal, the SunglassWarehouse.com team decided to host a little Gossip Girl Giveaway.

One lucky winner will take home a Gossip Girl Gift Pack including: Gossip Girl Seasons 1-4 DVD Box Set (yes loves, all 4 seasons) and their choice of fabulous shades.

So you too can be hippie-chic like Serena in retro aviators, or perfectly preppy like Blair in oversized cat eye sunglasses.

Or channel the boys by wearing a pair of mysterious aviator sunglasses.

You know you love it!
