I blame FABOLOUS for his famous line in his song You be killin'em" where he sang "Chilly weather bring 4 figure jacket prices." Sir, are you seriously suggesting ... ok whatever. *heads to ssense - Sale section. It literally is the same jacket just marked down. You gotta do what you gotta do to stay in the game. It's a culture thing.

As the winter season approaches, fashionistas everywhere are gearing up for the ultimate style showdown. It's time for the It Girl Olympics, where the most stylish women premiere the hottest looks of the season. High-end designer, creatively reimagined thrift, indi-designers pieces and the new trend of "DUPE" fashion (lets chat later about that.)  

How can you rock the It Girl look without breaking the bank?

While some of the It Girls may have unlimited budgets for their winter wardrobes, you don't have to spend a fortune to look like a style star. Shop smart by hitting up thrift stores and online resale sites for unique pieces at a fraction of the price. And don't forget to mix and match your existing wardrobe staples to create fresh new looks without spending a dime.

Where can you find the best deals for Fall/Winter?

One of my most coveted places to shop is Vestiaire and ssense. Check out online retailers, department store sales, outlet malls - literally every designer has an outlet somewhere, and sample sale events. You can definitely score the best deals  for your winter wardrobe.

So whether you're a seasoned fashion pro or just getting started in the style game, the It Girl Olympics are the perfect opportunity to show off your winter fashion skills.
