Recession Chic: Junkhouse Dollyard Makes Flash From Trash

image
Playful, ladylike and carefree best describe the aesthetic behind Junkhouse Dollyard, the clothing label founded by Milwaukee-based independent fashion designer Kathryn Wilson. Salvaging vintage materials and reconstructing them into new frocks, skirts and blouses, Wilson's pieces are chock full of pretty details that beg to be worn more than once. She has recently returned to Wisconsin after spending a year mastering photography in Japan, and now sells her clothing in both the U.S. and Japan. Kathryn is a fresh new talent in the world of reconstructed vintage and, even better yet, every one of her pieces sells for under $100! Take a look at my selections from the latest Junkhouse Dollyard collection in my SLIDESHOW, and let me know what you think!

Recession Chic: My Top 10 Online Fashion Webzines!

image
Spring cleaning started a little later than usual for me this year (I know, its August) and as I waded through the dust bunnies, it occurred to me that most of what needed to go were my ancient fashion mags. I am generally an unapologetic fashion publication addict, but in the battle of Paper vs. Sanity, there was no contest - I had to find my fix elsewhere. Luckily there are several FREE fashion publications on the Internet that have all the bells and whistles of their paper brothers and sisters, but take up no space - and cost nada! Though nothing can replace the feel of a glorious glossy in your hands, it's hard to ignore the many benefits of the environmentally friendly - and increasingly user-friendly - webzine. So instead of buying all the new fall fashion issues of the glossies, why not instead check out my SLIDESHOW of my fave FREE fashion guides on the web, and start your virtual flipping now!

Recession Chic: Your Summer Wedding Need Not Be Paid Entirely With Plastic

image
There's no denying it, Stylehivers - the dog days of summer are upon us. Such sultry weather generally conjures up thoughts of ice cream, mosquitoes, sunburns, and the premier backdrop for celebrating the rest of your life with one person (preferably not all at the same time). Though weddings truly are joyous occasions, it should come as no surprise that the day some describe as the best of their life can also easily be one of the most expensive. Take the down payment off of the ice sculpture & check out my SLIDESHOW for some affordable wedding style picks that you'll be sure to love for years after the ceremony too!
