Anthropologie has a large collection of inexpensive (under $200) dresses. They also carry sandals and antique-y jewelry that you won't find anywhere else. That is what I like the most about shopping here, its products are not easily recognizable, unlike a piece from a chain store. Another brand that I think does a fantastic job channeling vintage style is What Comes Around Goes Around. Although the cuts and styles have a vintage look, their designers add modern touches that makes them current. I also love my Vanessa Bruno Grecian double-layered dress that I just got at Ludivine, it's stylish and casual at the same time. Finally, a lower-priced collection by Doo-Ri Chung called Under.Ligne has pieces with an easy, drapey feel that you'll reach for again and again.

If you want something really special (i.e. expensive), check out Tuleh. Their creations are truly inspired, with amazing combinations of seemingly incongruous fabrics and patterns. Whenever I can find a uniquely styled dress with a versatile look, I snatch it up.

My absolute favorite tee is by Alexander Wang. It's made of 100% Rayon, which looks like fine mercerized cotton. The fabric drapes nicely, away from the body without clinging, and the oversized shape is just right for either tucking in or belting. A tiny pocket adds just the right amount of detail.

But I have to say, H&M is quite a steal at $5.90 for both its scoop neck and v-neck. It has a similar feel to the pricier Hanro brand, and the seamless finishing around the neckline is very expensive looking. Between a tee each from the two brands, you can average $45 for a tee. That's pretty good, don't you think?

The T-strap wedge is a modified version that still looks current and stylish. I love the T-strap because it is basically a more sophisticated version of the gladiator, with some detail around the ankle without going overboard.

The key with this shoe is that the horizontal line of the "T" needs to be lower than your actual ankle, so that your legs look longer and thinner. You can work this look with a heel height of anywhere between 1 to 3 inches. The AK Anne Klein shoe to the left is a perfect example of a more wearable lower heel, that still maintains the same sophisticated look. The Fendi shoe above is the ideal neutral for any outfit while it's sculptural elements make it distinct.

Look for a shoe with a mix of different materials and colors. In particular, the two-tone effect, as seen in the Kate Spade shoes above and the Anya Hindmarch shoes to the right, add an interesting retro feel to a simple outfit.
