xo- Haley I am obsessed with designer handbags but, like a lot of you, can’t justify the price of them or can’t afford to buy every designer bag I want. I have found a handful of super cute designer handbag dupes that are a tiny fraction of the cost. You can achieve a very similar look with these bags and feel good about not breaking the bank on them. This tote was my first designer bag dupe that I tested out earlier this year. I originally found it for around $50 but have now found it at another retailer for only $36! It is such a nice size for everyday and is a great dupe for the coveted Louis Vuitton Neverfull. I use this bag daily as my mom life carryall. It holds my wallet, snacks for the kids, a water bottle, sunglasses, lipglosses, small toys and more! I can easily throw both of my girl’s hoodies or light jackets in here too. I highly recommend grabbing this felt purse organizer for it as well. It comes in multiple colors and really helps the bag hold shape! Next up is this cute striped Gucci handbag dupe! It is under $30 and comes in 5 fun colors. I love this thick, striped strap and it also comes with a longer, thinner, adjustable white strap. It makes a statement and is great quality! The width allows quite a bit to fit in it and there is also an interior pocket to hold small essentials. This dupe of the Gucci Marmot bag is classic and so nicely done! This will go with any outfit and it comes in multiple colors. The listing only shows the back of it with a heart but I am linking the EXACT one I purchased and am showing you! It so closely resembles the Marmot almost no one will realize it’s a dupe!
Which one is your favorite? I’ve been really happy with all of them! Interested in more fab finds under $50? Check out my Gift Guide on the Best Gifts for Her Under $50. xo- Haley Happy Monday my friends! Hope the fall weather is as gorgeous by you as it is here in Pacific Northwest Washington right now; it’s a bit crisp but otherwise sunny and beautiful! Last week my friend Chelsea and I debuted our new AdoptStyle Good Vibes Exclusive Collection with you all and we have been so happy to hear your kind words and feedback on it! The collection includes women’s clothes such as sherpas, graphic tees and tunics as well as coffee mugs, tall tumblers and wine tumblers. These pieces are great for gifting to friends and family this holiday season though you’ll probably want to get some for yourself too! Chelsea and I are both fashion bloggers and we take great pride in the pieces we created exclusively for our blog and Instagram communities. We are very familiar with the latest fashion trends and created this line with that, as well as our personal tastes and community feedback in mind. We partnered with J & K Designworks, a mother/daughter ran small shop out of Ferndale, Washington (a few hours north of Seattle, Washington and an hour or so south of Vancouver, British Columbia) and they are creating each piece, made to order exactly as you like it. The coffee mugs offer options to choose if you are left or right-handed so that the text goes on the appropriate side of the mug and the women’s clothing items come in a wide range of sizing with each item going from XS-3XL or 4XL, allowing these high quality yet affordable pieces to be available to just about everyone. We met with the team multiple times determining which fabrics, colors, custom graphics and more we wanted in our collection and are so happy with the end results. We wanted our line to consist of positive, empowering quotes so you will see pieces with graphics stating phrases such as “You Grow Girl”, “Don’t be a lady be a legend”, “Good Vibes Go With My Outfit” (our take on “Bad Vibes Don’t Go With My Outfit”) and more. This three piece wine tumbler set is perfect for gifting; give all three to someone special or split it up and you have three gifts in one! Perfect for mommy friend gifts, teacher gifts, neighbor gifts and more! You can view the entire collection here. We look forward to hearing your feedback on these new fashion pieces and accessories and can’t wait to see these styles on you! We are so excited to be a part of your outfit of the day. We have an exclusive Etsy coupon code for you to use on all items in our collection. For a limited time use code SHIPFORFREE to receive free shipping!
xo- Haley Life always seems to get crazy busy this time of year and with the weather cooling down I’ve been on the hunt for comfortable, affordable, chic pieces that are versatile enough that they can take me from school pickup to date night. I found this cozy fall sweater at The Mint Julep Boutique and fell in love. The high collar is perfect for cool days and the loose fit is both comfortable and flattering. I love this shade of orange but it also comes in a few more color options. I am wearing size XS/S; it is a generous, oversized fit. This cardigan is definitely my favorite of the season! If you only get one cardigan, this is the one to get ladies, trust me! The chenille fabric is so soft and the long length and pockets make it extra cozy. It comes in seven gorgeous color options and I’m wishing I had one of each! Wearing size medium; true to size. Thank you to The Mint Julep Boutique for sponsoring this post. All opinions are my own. I’ve been looking for a fun hair scarf and fell in love with this leopard print one. I love that it is also a scrunchie making it incredibly easy to tie into your hair and stay put. Today I paired it with this black tunic which comes in a ton of colors and is on sale for only $15 (helloooo stock up time)!! I love the long length (wearing a medium; true to size) and soft material of the tunic and will be layering it with vests, sweaters, scarves and more over and over again this season.
Shopping at The Mint is always a treat; I have been so happy with these pieces and enjoy their fast shipping! Let me know if you have any questions (you can direct message me @haleyparkerstyle for the quickest response); I’d be happy to answer them! xo- Haley #sweaterweather #fallfamilyphotos #fallphotos #falloutfits #cardigan Oh my gosh you guys! My favorite boho cuffs and bracelets are on sale right now at Victoria Emerson! They are Buy 1 Get 1 FREE today so it’s time to stock up! I have sooo many of their pieces and adore them all. Victoria Emerson pieces elevate any outfit and are great for gifting too. My watch is also Victoria Emerson and I receive so many compliments on it. It styles great with anything from athleisure to date night attire! Thank you to Victoria Emerson for sponsoring this post. All opinions are my own. I love the magnetic clasp closure of the boho cuff design; it’s genius! They go on easily and stay on; you never have to worry about them falling off. I love that the boho cuff gives you the look of a lot of bracelets but with the ease of only one closure and bonus; the strands don’t tangle! I love the variety of pieces Victoria Emerson offers. Victoria Emerson started in 2012 with gorgeous bracelets and has now evolved to include other accessories and goodies! I love mixing, matching and stacking the styles to change up the look. I am always getting asked where I got these adorable pieces; be sure to grab them today when they’re on sale! I am currently eyeing the Gracie Tila Bead bracelet and the Noelle Tila Bead bracelet, both from their limited edition collection. Gorgeous pieces like this never last long so I anticipate they will be gone before we know it with a sale this good happening!!
Feel free to message me any questions regarding Victoria Emerson; I adore the brand and would be happy to answer them for you! Which pieces will you be snagging before BOGO FREE ends?! Hurry before they’re gone! xo- Haley Cooler days are upon us and I don’t know about you but I’m digging it! Cozy sweaters, blanket scarves, and oversized tops are my favorite right now. I am so excited to share these gorgeous pieces that The Mint Julep sent me; fall staples for sure! This cardigan comes in a handful of colors; all gorgeous and perfect for fall! Easy to throw over tanks, tees, tunics and more. Finish the look with a cute scarf or this hat! My tank comes in four stunning colors; I adore the buttons and the ADJUSTABLE STRAPS!!👏🏻 I like to center my wardrobe around great basics and this light waffle knit is one I’m loving as a fall wardrobe basic. Wear alone, layer with a vest or cardigan, pair with a scarf; the possibilities are ENDLESS. Grab it in every color; you won’t be sorry! I’m a scarf obsessed girl and when I saw this orange plaid blanket scarf I instantly knew I HAD to have it!! It comes in a few other color options too and is such a good price. I’ll be wearing it on repeat for sure! The Mint Julep has so many stylist pieces for fall; check them out here and be sure to follow them on Instagram here to stay up to date on the latest!
Click here for my blog post earlier this season on The Mint Julep fall style must haves!! xo- Haley #sweaterweather #cardigans #ootd #bloggerstyle #fblogger #styletip #boutique #blanketscarf #outfitideas #falloutfits Hey friends! Looking for adorable new pieces for fall that are on trend, great quality, and won’t break the bank?! I’ve found the perfect place for you to shop: The Mint Julep Boutique! The Mint Julep can easily be your one stop shop for dresses, rompers, cardigans, jeans, boots, accessories and more! Each item that I personally own from this boutique I truly adore and know I’ll wear time and time again this fall. Thank you to The Mint Julep for sponsoring this post. All opinions are my own. This sweater is beautiful and the perfect weight for fall! I love the colors incorporated in the colorblock stripes; they pair nicely together and coordinate well with denim, brown boots/booties, or white sneakers! This fringe sweater is a MUST HAVE. I had been eyeing it and couldn’t decide which color but decided to go with the ivory. It is a beautiful neutral and fun to pair with a bold bralette, scarf, hat, etc! I have already received so many compliments on it. The quality is impeccable and the style is different yet classic. I am a shoe girl through and through and as a more casual but cute mom style has became my norm these past few years I have fallen in love with adorable sneakers which The Mint Julep has such a great selection of. I love the side zippers and performations of this black pair I own. I find them true to size and so comfortable! The Mint Julep has such a fun assortment of animal print shoes too! I have these leopard slip on sneakers and my friend Chelsea has these snakeskin sneakers; I would highly recommend both! I love pairing animal print shoes or accessories with neutral outfits to take the look up a notch.
I have always experienced great customer service from The Mint Julep Boutique! Ordering is easy, pieces arrive in a timely manner and they offer free shipping on orders of $100+. They carry a wide variety of on trend styles that can take you from the office to the weekend, date night, vacation and more; it’s truly a one stop shop for all things fashion related! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me or comment on this post. Check out my other looks from The Mint Julep here: I have always been a bargain shopper. Unless I am looking for a very specific item, I search the sale or clearance section of a store before even allowing myself to look at full priced options (which I still typically don’t even look at) and I do this when shopping online too. I think it’s a great tactic to use to save money and scoring a great deal always puts me in a good mood. I’ve rounded up some of my favorite splurge items and their similar, more affordable counterparts for those of you that are looking to save money while creating the perfect outfit of the day. Now, although I’m a big fan of deals (when a quality item is discounted it is my favorite) and a big believer in “you get what you pay for”. I have had it happen time and time again that I buy a less-than product simply because of it’s smaller price tag only to be disappointed and have to replace it soon after. So remember what you are wanting out of a piece when you buy it. If you live in Seattle it might be best to go with a higher quality rain boot such as Joules or Hunter but if you live in Honolulu and rarely need them a cheaper option may be best for you. If it’s a very trendy piece or super seasonal and you plan to only wear a few times I prefer a cheaper item of less quality where as I would more likely splurge on something like a high quality coat that I would wear frequently for years. I have had these Hunter boots pictured for over a year and love them! I am a short girl at 5’4” and prefer this shorter version on myself but they also come in a taller rain boot option too. One of my favorite ways to accessorize and add flair to any outfit is with a scarf. I have this scarf pictured on the left and find it so versatile! I recently wore it while traveling this summer and it’s such a nice weight/material; lightweight enough to wear in July yet warm enough to shield me from the breeze of the airplane. The tassel detail is the perfect added touch! Patagonia and The North Face are both brands known for high quality, high performance apparel. I tracked down and found a similar dupe puffer coat and you’ll never guess which large retailer it is from. If you are going to splurge on a particular item, a winter coat would be a good piece to do it on but sometimes budget doesn’t allow or you want an additional coat simply to have another color or style option without spending a lot on it so in those cases, save! MCM pieces and high quality and timeless and this neutral tote is the perfect year round staple piece. If you are looking for a similar bag with a not so similar price tag, here is another great option! I have this tote (in dark brown) and am super happy with it! It holds so much and is well made. I love the fit and quality of Paige denim. This distressed denim pair is the perfect color and style to be worn year round, both dressed up and dressed down. Another one of my favorite brands of women’s jeans is Articles of Society. They are so comfortable and affordable and what I wear most often. Everyone knows about the classic black Stuart Weitzman over the knee boots. They are timeless, versatile and so cute but also come with a hefty price tag! I have found a similar, much more affordable version for anyone looking to create the look without spending nearly as much. The Enzo Angiolini boots linked are still over $100 but considerably less than the splurge version.
I hope you have enjoyed this comparison of “splurge versus save” staple pieces for fall. I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments! Do you own any of these? Which is your favorite?
