She's loving… Retro swimwear

Sometimes LESS skin really is sexier. Retro-inspired swimsuits not only provide great coverage of our less-than-favorite parts...these feminine, flirty styles harken back to the glamourous sex sirens and the fresh-faced ingenues of the 50s and 60s.

Sheath your gadgets in style with these hot cases...

Sheath your gadgets in style with these hot cases...

Stylish tech accessories are hard to find, for more than one reason. In my search for fashionable technology, I’ve found that many designers think that if they just make a gadget pink, women will buy it. I’ve also come to understand that technology designers are just beginning to understand women’s fashion. And unfortunately, women who use technology everyday are not voicing their distaste with present designs.

In lieu of these points, sometimes I jump for joy when I run across people who are finally getting the picture. Life! has launched a line of the cutest cases for your cameras and laptops that are stylish, cute, and will fit into any fashion style. The best part about their laptop totes is that each one has small compartments to hold your iPods, keys, pens, and other random things...which means you won't be forced to carry both a laptop and a purse to your business meetings.

Favorite sources for sweet deals...

Favorite sources for sweet deals...

A lot of people ask me where I get the clothes I’m wearing and they’re always surprised when I say where I got them and how much the item cost. Typical reactions include disbelief and jealousy, especially when I’ve spent less than $20 on a pair of shoes identical to an $80 pair someone else owns.

How do you find your own sweet deals and which online shopping destinations will give you the most bang for your buck? Here are a few of my favorite sites and a few of the best items from them that I’ve added to my StyleFeed over time.

Urban Outfitters is a true fashionista’s paradise. Chock full of interesting bohemian pieces, you can find some great clothing for less than $50. Often Urban also carries more expensive lines (upwards of $200), so make sure you don’t fall in love with something before checking the price. Accessories are always a great bet. They have tons of belts, handbags, scarves, etc. Their shoe selection is also enviable. Check out their flats and sandals, I'm a fan of their summer selection.

Inspiration shoes: Use a pair to dream up an entire outfit

Inspiration shoes: Use a pair to dream up an entire outfit

I have always loved Christian Louboutin shoes, however I'm not a huge fan of pink. But there is just something about these shoes that pop out at me, maybe it’s the HOT pink colour or the big bow on the toe. Whatever it is, I wish I had the cash in my bank account for them.

Then I thought, “Even if I had the cash, what would I wear them with?”

Then I happened across a photo of this fabulous Marc Jacobs dress paired with the hot pink silk shoes. Genius, right? Now to pull together the rest of the outfit...
