Of course Rihanna had an outfit change at the Oscars. After walking the red carpet in a leather Alaïa dress, the star and expecting mom switched into an embellished Maison Margiela by John Galliano outfit to perform “Lift Me Up” during the award ceremony on March 12 in Los Angeles. In true fashion, Rihanna‘s look was complete with an astounding array of diamond De Beers jewelry, which amounted to a little more than 142 carats.
I, like many in the fashion scene, have an expensive eye for clothing. I love admiring designers’ new collections and saving up for a purchase from a contemporary or indie brand. While I do curate a selection of special pieces I splurge on in my wardrobe, I’m still on a budget, and a majority of what I shop skews affordable. Since I’m always on the hunt for new fashion items for my job, I like to think I’ve gotten pretty good at finding things that have the price people want but don’t sacrifice style or quality.
When you think of the top athletic brands out there, chances are Nike is one of the first names to come to mind. It only makes sense—the brand is a household name that people simply know, and you’ll be hard-pressed to find anyone who doesn’t immediately think of its iconic Swoosh or its “Just Do It” campaign. And as Nike continues to permeate into nearly every aspect of our lives—whether it be in the form of quality performance gear or street style-worthy sneakers—there’s no doubt the brand has become a staple among It girls everywhere.
There are several things to look out for when purchasing a new pair of jeans. Are they comfortable? That’s very important. Do they have a versatile wash? Another deal-breaker. And how about the price tag? Though jeans can get very expensive—and fast—sometimes, they’re worth the splurge, especially when you know you’ll be wearing them nonstop. However, there’s one other possible design element in the bottoms that you may not have thought about, but once you try it out, you’ll never go back. I’m talking about tummy-control jeans that are seriously game-changing.
