inspiration: Atlanta De Cadenet Taylor
This girl has fashion to be inspired by. Her ability to flawlessly mix patterns, colors, and styles is effortless and uber-chic.
Take notes from her fabulousness.
Who is she? Atlanta De Cadenet is the daughter of Amanda De Cadenet (photographer/actress) and Duran Duran's bassist John Taylor. Atlanta (often mistaken with Rachel Bilson) was signed with DNA models and has been featured in French Vogue.

my fave luxe discount websites
1. Gilt Groupe (www.gilt.com): my absolute favorite invite-only (but you can get on the waiting list today!) luxury shopping website. Each sale lasts for 36 hours, and features the best of the best designers. Gilt has showcased Marc Jacobs, BCBG Max Azria, Fendi, Burberry, DKNY and many, many more. Gilt has expanded their empire by adding Gilt Fuse (a less expensive, fashion-forward section), Gilt Man and Jetsetter (luxury travel from New York to Bangkok). Hot items go fast, so log on daily at 11 a.m. to check the best sales!
Bonus: each friend you invite who places an order gets you $25 credit
2. Rue La La (www.ruelala.com): Rue La La is a lesser version of Gilt Groupe, but offers many of the same brands. Each "boutique" is open for 2-3 days at a time. Similar to Gilt, Rue La La offers travel, menswear and home goods. The latest Bravo show, Launch My Line, will also feature their winner on Rue La La.
Bonus: each friend you invite who places an order gets you $10 credit
3. Bluefly (www.bluefly.com): As one of the original designer discount sites, Bluefly started up in 1998. Sales aren't timed and aren't sorted into "boutiques," so you'll have more time to make a decision on that Fendi bag. Bluefly offers similar brands to Rue La La and Gilt but goes beyond by offering dozens of designers at once. Looking for last season's Phillip Lim skirt or a melt-in-your-hands leather Miu Miu bag? This is the place to come. Bluefly has added B.Fly, a younger generation's version of the original. Unfortunately, the prices don't reflect a teenager's budget. Many of the same clothes offered to women are in this section too.
Bonus: Awesome 60 day return policy.
4. Ideeli (www.ideeli.com): Another member-only discount site that offers designer deals. Each sale lasts 36 hours or until all items are sold out. Ideeli offers more department store brands like Jessica Simpson, Betsey Johnson and Michael Kors. The site often features giveaways, when members have the opportunity to enter to win awesome prizes like a 6 month membership to House of Blues.

look alike: studded wallet
Studs are one of my favorite trends this season. It's the perfect embellishment to toughen up any look. These wallets are the perfect addition to an ultra-feminine look.
These looks are almost identical, but the blue wallet costs about a tenth of the price.
left: Connect four wallet in blue $22 at www.lulus.com
right: Be & D Studded zip around clutch wallet $263 at www.nordstrom.com
