In Search Of A Large Roomy Designer Tote To Carry Around For School

September 22, 2008
Q. I’m looking for a designer, rather large/roomy tote to carry around for school. The hard part is that I really want a zipper wall that goes down the middle inside the bag so my books/binders can stand upright and not fall over and also to separate my wallet/makeup-bag from my books. I have searched furiously online with barely any luck. My price range is up to $450 I would say. Any suggestions!?

A. This proved to be tougher than we thought! Here are three chic options that contain the center zip compartment you’re looking for. And if any of our readers have other suggestions, we’d love to hear from you in the comments section below!

Affordable Versions of Lanvin Flat Knee-High Boots

September 18, 2008
Lanvin-knee-boot.gifQ. First, I love your site, especially the Ask Us feature. So naturally, I thought I’d send this question to StyleBakery! I would love a pair of the Lanvin Flat Knee-High Boots, but at a more affordable price. I’d still like something quality that will last, but not priced at $1000! Any idea where I can find the same look?

A. Great boots, but scary price tag! The good news is, we found some amazing flat boots in a range of prices, all for less than the Lanvins. Scroll through these options:

In Search Of A Versatile Blazer For Fall

September 5, 2008
Q. I would really like to purchase a blazer for fall. My plan is to wear it with jeans and some sort of shirt when the occasion calls for something less casual. I’m a stay-at-home mom so I don’t really need something for work right now. I have found a few possibilities but, they are all wool or a wool blend. I live in Texas. There really aren’t more than a few days a year when that much warmth is needed. Suggestions?

 A. We love the versatility of a lightweight blazer - wear it when it’s warm with just a tee or a tank or layer it up when it’s cool with a sweater, scarf or turtleneck. We found a bunch of non-wool options for you below - and none of them cost more than $125.

In Search Of A Versatile Raincoat

September 3, 2008
Q. I’m a college student already on the lookout for raincoats, since fall and rain will be here before I know it (and I need to make up for my future procrastination with some planning ahead). I want to get a more mature-looking trench coat style (I’m done with North Face rain jackets) but I can’t decide between brown or black. I am loving this brown Michael Kors Reversible Leopard Coat but am torn between this Anne Klein Bonded Polyester All-Weather Coat in black. Which would be a more versatile option?

A. I’m glad you’re ready to give up your North Face in exchange for something more sophisticated and stylish - and you can’t go wrong with a classic trench. Both of your choices are chic, flattering and timeless, it’s just a matter of whether you wear more brown or black. If either color works in your wardrobe, then the Kors coat gets extra style points for reversing to a leopard print for when you want to make a statement. We found a few more choices in the price range that you may like:
