We’ve really got a bargain for you this week. For less than the cost of a grande peppermint latte, you can update a look already in your closet with this sateen headband from Forever 21. While we all know the bargain retailer’s accessories are uber-affordable, I’ve also always found them of a decent quality – at least on par with what you’d find at certain mall shops and Old Navy. For only $2.80 – that’s right, less than $3 – you can tuck back flyaways or add a prim touch to an existing outfit. Check out all four colors.

Can you tell I like Forever 21? It’s just that they have really chic, trendy clothes for great prices! Like this jeweled tube top in Dark Grey or Black. I love the gathered look you get with the tighter bottom half of this top and the rest of the shirt flowing over–it’ll hide a little tummy, and always looks so flowy and elegant. And the faceted rhinestones trim at the top is very in right now. So make this hot tube top yours for just $24.80.

After a seven-year hiatus from the catwalk, Randolph Duke sent a “Glamorganic” eco-friendly collection down the runway during Los Angeles Fashion Week. The clothing, inspired by jungle foliage, was a mixture of gowns and sleek suits. The collection earned Duke his first-ever standing ovation, and will certainly not be leading to any more hiatuses anytime soon.

It’s finally starting to cool down a little, so it’s the perfect time to get this stylish cardigan from Forever 21–for just $10.50! I like it best in Egg Plant–a very on-trend color for the season–but it also comes in Mustard, Ivory and Black. And the fitted ribbed midriff with matching buttons creates a very chic look–almost corset-like. Wear it to work with a vertical black and silver striped blouse, gray trouser pants and classic pumps, or dress it up to wear out with a layered gold statement necklace, black skirt, high-heeled boots, and over-sized clutch.

At Paris Fashion Week, Stella McCartney showed her spring/summer collection. Full of easygoing flowing dresses in wildflower prints inspired by the ’70s, the models looked like the cast of the musical “Hair.” Her trademark jumpsuits also made an appearance, as well as pajama- and nightgown-inspired garments. The looks would be equally appropriate for an afternoon in the park or a Sunday lounging around in bed. The look above, worn by model Jessica Stam, is the epitome of the perfect spring frock.

Kathryn Finney, the thirty-one year old fashion blogger and founder of
thebudgetfashionista.com has made a career––and an astonishing salary ($150,000 a year!)––out of giving her fashion advice and budget shopping tips to stylish ladies through her website. While advertisers now scramble to work with her, Finney wasn’t always part of the fashion world. In fact, she started as an epidemiologist (a.k.a. a scientist who studies epidemics). Finney began her site because she wanted to curtail her spending and communicate with friends about her great shopping finds. When she began, blogging was a relatively new phenomenon. Today, the Web is overloaded with solo bloggers imitating her concept.

If you’re not one to shy away from prints, you’ll love this look from Fendi, worn by model Freja Beha Erichsen on the spring runway in Milan Fashion Week. The optical-illusion look pairs two clashing circle patterns with a color-block belt, reminiscent of this geometric design bag, which came out in September.

I found a great deal on the cutest babydoll jacket–just $24.90! Perfect for the light fall weather we’ve been having, this jacket will be great for spring, too. I really like how it gathers in the front, and the rounded collar, large two-button closure, cuffed button sleeves, and faux buttoned pocket flaps work together to complete this adorable look. Available in two colors, choose to stand out in stylish plum, or keep in sync with this season’s gray trend.

Zac Posen has been the “it boy” of the fashion world since making his runway debut at the Gen Art Fresh Faces in Fashion show in 2001. This blue gown stood out even amidst numbers of other show-stopping dresses. Even among turquoise pleats, ruffles, and layers, the dress showed off model Liya Kebede’s fantastic body and reminded one of the rippling Mediterranean Sea, a perfect inspiration for summer.

I know I’m always looking for some good flats, especially for fall when chilly weather requires keeping those piggies covered. So, for this week’s bargain pick, I chose this red BP. ‘Edie’ patent-leather ballet flat, but since it’s only available in two sizes, 5.5 and 9, I’m also including this cute BP. ‘Edie’ calf hair dalmatian print flat (although I’m not sure how I feel about the whole calf hair bit)–both on sale for just $21.90 at Nordstrom.
