There are not actually that many products under twenty there, but the clean look and tasteful style caught my eye. It has a little bit of a toned-down Modcloth feel in its dresses and a Loft vibe in its tops. The feel is more timeless than trendy, although it definitely has a slightly retro twist that, funnily enough, is very now. I really like the website, although I think it could be kicked up a 100% with a front-and-center and elaborated "about us" or "our story" page. I'm such a sucker for those, and I can't help but think there must be some kind of story here. I'd love to know where the clothes are manufactured, who her inspirations are, and some outfit ideas. Big props for the "hidden jems" page.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">I think I picked through all the below $20 stuff and found these "jems".

So it's possible that something is weird about it, and be warned it is final sale, but it might be worth a buy at this price. There's a good range of sizes left, and the colors and great, and I'm always surprised how difficult it is to find long-sleeved shirts with some cute but not overpowering detail.

This is the perfect chance to try out some belting for the belt-shy out there! (It will look great belt-less, too, because of the banded top, but give a belt a shot!) Tons of sizes left in this absolutely beautiful coral color. I would pair it with anything from a white button-down (+tights +pumps) to a graphic T (+cardigan +slip-on sneaks).

It's actually pretty darn awesome. It's a super thin, super lightweight, expandable wallet made of Tyvek. Basically the updated 2011 version of the duct tape wallet. The basic ones, in every color of the rainbow, are $14.99 (free shipping!!) but I'm kind of partial to the $19.99 designer ones, like the rainbow check above. It has a cash compartment and 2 credit card slots. A nice alternative to other slim wallets made of hard plastic!<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">$19.99 at <a href="http://www.paperwallet.com/Dev2Go.web?id=214928&pid=428&cid=96&sViewID=1&sPname=Intraligi%20paperwallet">Paperwallet</a><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.shopstyle.com/action/productWidgetImage?id=159556570&size=XLarge&imageUrl=2711c7c869602bf867c246befdf1f480"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 328px; height: 401px;" src="http://www.shopstyle.com/action/productWidgetImage?id=159556570&size=XLarge&imageUrl=2711c7c869602bf867c246befdf1f480" alt="" border="0" /></a>I have this totally weird thing for short-sleeve sweatshirt hoodies.

But there's a bunch of stuff that's adorable and surprisingly affordable. You can choose to shop "new" or "vintage", but (fair warning) the vintage looks more expensive!

It's that gorgeous, breezy linen, sexified with that little zipper, conservatized with those arms, and summerized in those colors. It's an Athleta dress, so you know the quality is great. It's designed as a coverup, but thick enough to wear as a dress. It's still available in basically every size. And the reviews rave about it. It's free shipping over $50 and free returns! Oh, and it's a steal under twenty! </div><div style="text-align: center;">$16.99 (originally $74) at <a href="http://www.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=136812371&pid=uid6100-535810-91">Athleta</a></div>N + Shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05791039165172065767noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6921717760567540228.post-37230472121299572011-01-18T08:00:00.000-08:002011-01-18T08:00:04.907-08:00tuesday: art under twenty<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCuP5KpTmNLzNJVb5G4qF5L6iPuANJykgUL-GK5X_90j1Cw8IXUiJ5sCidy-V4ueF8-pQdPMn8YBl8nYhHnyc_K_lgiMCMB3UgUGW7dTSZYbAAPaHZ502CejygXOp_A-sGnMAjaAtfUf_E/s1600/rsz_art.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 102px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCuP5KpTmNLzNJVb5G4qF5L6iPuANJykgUL-GK5X_90j1Cw8IXUiJ5sCidy-V4ueF8-pQdPMn8YBl8nYhHnyc_K_lgiMCMB3UgUGW7dTSZYbAAPaHZ502CejygXOp_A-sGnMAjaAtfUf_E/s400/rsz_art.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563378579755804242" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_570xN.193894598.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 570px; height: 566px;" src="http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_570xN.193894598.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">$15 at <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/62123471/november-sewn-print">tastes orangey</a></div><div style="text-align: center;">I dare you to look at this without feeling some deep stab of something.</div><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_570xN.98389480.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px; height: 332px;" src="http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_570xN.98389480.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">$20 at <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/33293389/alone-in-a-crowded-city-8x10-fine-art">Ciao Chessa</a></div><div style="text-align: center;">I like the idea of putting this up on an actual brick wall. </div><div><br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_570xN.151243761.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 570px; height: 456px;" src="http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_570xN.151243761.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">$15 at <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/49380199/picnic-peril-8x10-metallic-print">kristin mcmurry</a></div><div style="text-align: center;">This is just awesome.

I, for one, after extensive experimentation, have chosen to devote myself to raspberry cream and the milk and dark bordeauxs. But you, your world is wide open. Go. Explore. Consume.
