The Proposal’s Uptight Editor Likes Structure In Her Wardrobe, Too

The Proposal hit theaters this past weekend, and SheFinds was there to scope out the big screen fashion (and gaze at Ryan Reynolds).

Sandra Bullock plays Margaret Tate, a no-holds-barred, Louboutin-wearing book editor who forces her adorable assistant, Andrew (Reynolds), to become her fiance. The movie, a classic Sandra Bullock rom-com, is entertaining enough, but the true highlights come from Margaret’s enviable wardrobe and accessories.

She has the perfect carry-all bag, and of course, it’s Prada.  For one in a similar size, shape, and color - with a much more affordable price tag - try this tote from Marc by Marc Jacobs ($448).

Throughout the movie, Margaret dons very flattering and versatile dresses–great for the office or a weekend brunch with the fiance’s fam.  For an equally chic and structured option, check out this asymmetrical purple number by Black Halo ($345).

Stay tuned as we cover what trends stars are wearing throughout the summer on the big screen.

Apparently I Covet Kate Winslet And Her Sporty Modern Clothing Choices

What: Covet.com

Why: Its lame “Shop Without Sin” tagline belies an actually cool shopping tool that, with a little tweaking, provides personal-shopper-selected clothes, shoes, and handbags from third-party stores to your inbox. To get started, the Stylyzer tool—designed to winnow tastes—takes you through a series of celeb photos and asks you to choose between two different looks.

My result: Sporty Modern, but I tweaked it a little by adding a few other looks that also suited my style.

imageimage

You can then enter your specific sizes — a key difference from other shopping sites. And if you have time and want to get it just right, the tool has a Style Preferences section that lets you tell it what you don’t like. Hate orange stilettos and purple maxi dresses? You’ll never see them in your results. Submit selections and pick how often you’d like to receive shopping alerts (twice a week, daily, or Tuesdays) and you’re all set.

imageimage

You can also pick which brands you love and hate. So if I truly adhere to my Sporty Modern title, then BB Dakota and Joe's Jeans should be two favorite brands. While I wouldn't mind wearing this blazer ($50) and jeans ($163) combo for a casual night out, I'm more excited to see the picks delivered to my inbox next Tuesday.

Top Five: Summer Work Bags That Don’t Look Like Beach Totes

Swap out your black leather tote for something lighter or brighter but still office-appropriate.

J. Crew’s Gallery Satchel ($298) goes with everything, and is big enough to fit a small laptop.

image

We like the saturated green on this bag ($484) – a bit different, but still easy to pair with tans, whites, and light summer colors.

image

This Matt & Nat hobo ($275) is vegan, like all their bags, and a bit edgier than the rest with exposed zippers and bias stitching.

image


A medium-sized satchel ($170) is easy to carry over your shoulder or in-hand – you could even wear it out at night with black or grey.

image

Tan patent leather is perfect for summer, and this Marc Jacobs hobo ($428) will never go out of style.

Deal Of The Day: Up To 40% Off Eco-Friendly Matt & Nat Bags At Tobi

Matt and Nat bags are some of our favorite vegan handbags: they’re so cool in their own right, you really don’t miss the leather.

image

This grey duffle ($225, was $375) has fantastic details, like copper hardware and faux suede lining.

image

Big enough to fit a laptop or a pair of shoes, the Warhol bag ($227, was $325) is an ideal summer work tote.

The lining of this crinkly black satchel ($163, was $233) is made from recycled bottles.

Deal Of The Day: 30% Off Straw (And Straw-ish) Clutches At Vivre

We like the idea of carrying something other than leather in the summer, and these colorful clutches are a perfect evening option.

image

These woven wicker clutches ($171.50, were $245) look like the picnic basket’s really cool cousin.

image

This super slim straw clutch ($192.50, was $275) would be easy to tuck under your arm (While sipping champagne? Just a suggestion.)

image

The gold frame makes this raffia clutch ($245, was $350) fancy enough to pull off with a relaxed gown.

Beach Totes That Keep Your Goods Sand-Free, And Don’t Scream ‘Tourist’

Beach bags are tricky. Finding the right one can be a needle-in-the-haystack search, especially if you don’t want a print that screams “vacation”.  You want a bag that will protect your valuables, look cute, and still be roomy enough for sunscreen, a change of clothes, and the second installment of Twilight (or that intellectually stimulating book you’ve been meaning to read).

Check out our picks below and be beach-ready in time for Memorial Day.

image

1. With its hobo shape (or lack thereof), you can stuff almost anything into American Apparel’s Cotton Canvas Tote ($20, multiple colors). The bag also comes with a zippered side pocket which is perfect for keeping your cell phone and other valuables handy.

2. For a slightly more refined option, try Tory Burch’s Tory Tote ($250). The bag is plenty roomy, and structured enough to double as a purse. I also think the logo and trim are really fun.

3. A classic, colorful straw beach bag, like this tote from Nordstrom ($88), is always a great option. This version is made from hand-woven raffia and closes with a button tab.
