Fashion 411: Shop the Shoot from Saks

I'll be the first to admit it. As much as I love fashion, I hate trying to keep up with trends. Quite frankly, I'd rather spend my free time taking a nap or catching up on Parks & Recreation episodes on the web than flipping through pages of fashion magazines or department store catalogs. That's why online advertorials like "Shop the Shoot" from Saks.com are such a welcome find. In 45 seconds or less, Saks and one of 15 contemporary designers show and tell us how to put together a fun, new look for the season.

Fashion 411 features helpful tools or resources to help follow the latest and greatest trends in all things fashion.

Best and Worst Ways to Spend a Fortune on Fashion (BG Spring 2010: Neutral Dress Edition)

Best: Valentino, $4,590.
Why? Eternal class has a name, and its name is Valentino. It’s like Audrey Hepburn meets Zooey Deschanel. Gotta love it.




Worst: Haute Hippie, $695.

Why? Please, save your money. You can buy this at Wet Seal for $23.99 in the Soon-to-Be Teen Mom Prom section.






Best and Worst Ways to Spend a Fortune on Fashion is a pretty self-explanatory series on the good, the bad, and the ugly of haute couture.
