I can barely contain my bag envy–it would be perfect to lug all my grad school books!
Obama’s senior advisor only deals with quality, made obvious by her $1,695 Givenchy Nightingale Medium Patent Bag:

Next Kimberly says, “Can you tell me who makes the necklace Jennifer Lopez and her BFF Leah Remini are wearing below?

Adriana says, “According to the J-Lo fan site, the ladies were snapped leaving jewelry store Frances Klein, so it’s possible they bought them inside. Klein specializes in classic jewels, and you can contact the store through their web site to inquire. In the meantime, you can cop some similar alternatives that probably won’t be as hard on your budget!”

Tima from NYC says, “I’m a young fashion student but I’m stumped in a particular area: EASTER SUNDAY :/ lol. My mother wants to dress me but we have TOTALLY different views. I’m an edgy girl! I still want to look classy and Easter appropriate with the pretty pastel colors but I like to always make a statement with my clothing. Can you help me out with this one??? Remember, a sista is on a budget. Thanks!!!

Go for these church appropriate dresses in pretty Easter colors with details like belts, bright colors, and patterns that speak to your edge. Add a white cropped jacket (like this $15 Forever 21 Jacket) to strapless or spaghetti strap styles to keep it conservative:

Lastly, Tabatha says, “I have to attend a dinner with my husband and he is wearing a tan linen suit with a brown or cream shirt. I can’t find a dress to coordinate–I want to look like we came together! I can’t spend over $300 and I prefer something knee length or shorter to show off my legs. I have 2 weeks to find a dress. Please help!!
For clues on how to coordinate with your boo, look no further than super couple Will and Jada Smith:

The lovebirds always manage to look fresh and fly in coordinated outfits.  For a brown or cream shirt, I’d actually go for a light ivory or beige dress with brown details. If you want to play with colors, encourage your husband to pick a shirt that goes with your dress. Try the following:

Combination 1: Banana Republic Graphic Sheath Dress, $150. Kenneth Cole New York Basic Dress Shirt, $45. A.B.S Garbardine all in one Dress, $162.  Combination 2: Maggy London Cutaway Silk Dress, $138. Kenneth Cole New York Basic Dress Shirt, $45. Tracy Reese Couture Wool Embellished Dress in Blue Violet, $200. Combination 3: Taylor Jacquard Dress, $140. Faconnable Classic Fit Dress Shirt, $125. BCBG Max Azria Pleated Collar Dress, $220.

I’m off to eat a crepe! Have great weekends:)

Bisous!
