Simply Vera Online at Kohl's!

Some of the Simply Vera stuff is on the Kohl's website! You have to be ultra-sneaky about finding it, though. About 30 minutes ago, you could search "Simply Vera" to find a pair of Simply Vera pumps, but Kohl's must have noticed, because it's no longer possible. However, I saved a link to one of the items I liked, and the link still works! And when you click on it, there's a column on the right side of the page titled "More to consider" that has some other Simply Vera stuff to click on! And those things have different stuff in their columns, so you can basically browse the collection. Hooray!

Oh, you want the link? Okay, then. But only 'cause you asked so nicely.

(The coolest bloggers have fake conversations with their readers.)

Here is some of my favorite Simply Vera stuff:











None of this stuff is cheap, but it's definitely cheaper than Vera's usual line. There's a ton of other nice stuff too, and I looove the Simply Vera jewelry, which happens to be so far out of my price range that I can't bear to post it here. Simply Vera Wang for Kohl's gets my sincere approval, at least judging from the photographs. You can never be sure til you see it in person...

Simply Vera on Wednesday!

What's that you say, Budget Fashionista? Vera Wang's line for Kohl's is debuting this Wednesday? YAY!!!!!!

This is a good week, my friends. Eclipse on Tuesday and Simply Vera on Wednesday. Not to mention there's a meteor shower every night. It's a sign!

Update: Apparently Simply Vera won't be debuting til September. Damnit.

Simply Vera Ads!

Have you seen the Simply Vera for Kohl's ads that Fashionista just posted? I love 'em. They give off such a cool vibe, and I love how Vera hasn't really toned down the style of her clothes, even though they're cheaper than her usual line. I think I'm even more excited for this line than Erin Featherston for Target, because as much as I raved about Erin Featherson, and as much as I loved the preview pics of her Target line, they're not really the kind of thing I'll wear a huge amount. Vera's line, on the other hand...

Simply Vera for Kohl's

I know that many people are tiring of big designers designing lines for cheaper stores (Target, H&M, etc.), but I am loving it. How else could I afford a designer piece? I do, however, find most of the celebrity collaberations to be somewhat annoying. If the celebrity is a fashion icon, it's one thing, but Amanda Bynes (who will be designing a line for Steve & Barry's after Sarah Jessica Parker) should really stay out of it. Still, like I said, I do appreciate cheaper lines from big designers, and Missy Lovely has the most recent scoop on Vera Wang's line for Kohl's. She posted the below preview photos, which I had been anxiously awaiting. To my surprise (and delight!), the line looks great! I can't wait til it hits stores in September.


I'm loving this skirt. It has a great shape and a hint of quirkiness that screams, "I'm not your average department store skirt!" Which it isn't. So props to Vera!


To be honest, this look leans a little towards frumpy. But the pieces are not bad by themselves. The cardi is quite adorable, and very versatile. I think that the skirt and shirt, minus the cardi and scarf, would make the perfect office outfit, albeit not the most original one. Although I think the belled sleeves and pleated front of the shirt bring it a step above your normal white collared shirt.


It's hard to tell whether this model is wearing a dress or a skirt with all the layering, but either way I think the fabric and hemline are gorgeous. I also think the ruffles on the shirt are a nice touch.


This dress is rather simple, but very pretty. I love the contrast of the shiny ribbon against the rest of the fabric. I think this would be perfect for a holiday party.


This picture only gives a glimpse of the model's outfit, but the little you can see is very inspiring. The jacket looks wonderfully detailed, and the shirt sleeves have a beautiful, puffed out volume. I like the bag too- very versatile. Not something I would carry, but I think a lot of women would.

Well, that's it for the pictures. Visit Missy Lovely for more details about the line, and be ready to shop Kohl's during the first week of September. This fall/winter is going to be a good one - Vera Wang for Kohl's, Patricia Field for Payless, and Libertine for Target. I can hardly wait.
