Celebrity Looks for Less: Fun with Florals

When spring and summer roll around, florals are always a "trend" in every magazine.  However, something timeless isn't really a trend--it's a classic.  Of course, you can always put our own spin on the classics, just like these celebrities.  And vintage florals are a great investment because they stand the test of time!  Don't forget the vintage shoes to complete the look.

Celebrity Look for Less: Quirky Cool

Chloe Sevigny is often on the Worst Dressed list for any event she attends, but I admire a girl who sticks to her sense of style (and incorporates a lot of vintage!). Here is an easy casual look from Chloe translated into pieces from the shop--I'd totally wear this (only skip the socks):

SHOP!

80s Oversized Cotton Tee, $10 /// 70s cutoff Wrangler jean shorts, $22

vintage leather crossbody bag, $16 /// vintage Minnetonka moccasins, $28

Don't forget that Memorial Day is coming! Stick around for a little shop sale for our Twitter and blog followers only! ;)

Celebrity Looks for Less: Summer Layers

I love summer but I definitely think it's the most difficult time of year to dress interestingly.  It just gets too hot to accessorize or add layers.  Here a few celebrity looks for summer with some flare, and of course, their Miskabelle vintage counterparts.

Christa Allen (from Revenge) 

This is a perfect summer-evening-out look.  I like the skirt and top combo because it gives the option of variety, rather than just pulling on a dress.

Diane Kruger (or as I like to call her, "Pacey's girlfriend")  

This look is a great day time event look (perhaps a bridal shower?).  A thin belt gives it some interest without being fussy.  And yay for comfy shoes!  Our version of the dress is a little more flouncy and maybe harder to pull off for just a walk to the local coffee shop.

Jessica Alba (she needs no introduction)

A denim vest is an easy layer to pull on for summer that won't be too hot to handle.  Not sure I'd rock the scarf with it...unless it was a cooler day.

All Miskabelle items are for sale in the shop now!

Late Autumn Trends

Turning the clocks back was a huge reminder that fall is slowly dwindling (like the evening light) and winter is approaching.  The good news is that the holidays are coming--food, family, fun, and of course, dressing up.  The bad news:  brrrrr.  You can still look good even with purple lips (looking at you, Jayme) in some of these late fall trends.

1.  Leather Blazers...It's not a moto or bomber jacket.  There isn't any hardware--this is a more feminine look with leather.  Strong shoulders, cropped fit, a softer dark brown instead of black.  Maria Bello's version is so similar to this vintage beauty in the shop!

2.  Black Dress Shorts...It's hard to believe this trend is back.  I remember several pairs of unflattering corduroy and plaid dress shorts I liked to rock in 6th grade.  But the new styles are hip, and comfortable (no worries about flashing!).  You can't go wrong with a classic black and white combo, like the one here on Daisy Lowe--and this pair from the shop!

3.  Luxe Fur (or Faux) Coat...No doubt Catherine Zeta-Jones is wearing the real thing (unless she's a PETA member), but our shop is carrying an animal-free version of a very similar piece.  Still soft and warm and stylish.  Though we here at Miskabelle have to confess our love for actual vintage fur too (it's vintage! it's okay!) The gold buttons add an extra touch of luxury--the perfect holiday coat!

4.  Slouchy Knit Hat...This is one of those trends that seems to stick no matter what the temperature is.  A perfect fix for a flyaway hair day, it's casual and chic.  Lauren Conrad rocks it with a breezy California outfit, but our way is with a cozy wool cape.  The pinkish color will flatter those cold cheeks.

5.  Black and White Print Scarf...Diane Kruger is one of my style icons (but, come on, who can go wrong when you're dressed in Chanel 24/7?).  While her version is most likely Chanel as well, we're also carrying a designer version in vintage by Givenchy.  Classic print, classic colors, classic designer.  This is another versatile piece to wear all year round (head scarf, belt, on your bag, etc.)

We love seeing style icons wearing things that we have--for CHEAP!--in our shop.  It's so easy to be stylish on a budget when you shop vintage.

Don't forget our holiday sale is going on right now:  buy one item, get another item 50% off (as if our prices weren't low enough.  Seriously...check it out!)
