Two designers we love who won't break the bank

It seems like clothes keep getting more and more expensive-- boutiques and department stores are chock full of shirts for $300, dresses for $500 and up, etc.  It's depressing and demoralizing and leaves us wondering-- who can and does by trendy little outfits for those astronomical prices?  Happily, Parker and Rachel Roy are two designers that deliver trendy, cute, fun clothes for less.  Both brands are sold in some of our favorite boutiques-- Madison and Planet Blue-- online and in LA, and Poppy in NYC.

One of our favorite Parker dresses....

Rachel Roy herself is beautiful and chic and we love her "Monthly Favorites"-- quite the tastemaker to emulate.

We'll wear the Miranda dress on a day when we're running around to meetings needing to look good and then hit the town-- a true day to evening dress!  And you get 30% off if you order shoes as well.  Check out these Brian Atwood-esque heels that are only $99....

Happy affordable shopping!!
