Darlings, in the left corner feast your eyes on Joie’s fantastical Phineas Velvet Blazer; to the right take a peek at Halogen’s luxurious Liquid Velvet Jacket.Though, like the Joie offering, the haute Halogen piece is constructed out of a viscose rayon/silk blend, it sports a two-button closure, whereas the Joie showcases an open placket. Despite the ever so slight difference; for just $138.00, as opposed to the $388.00 asking price of the jewel-like Joie, the Halogen pretty allows one to add a smattering of high-fashion velvet loveliness to their wardrobe, at a price that is fit for the budget babe!
Is today the day for you to please the big spender within; or will you play it cool and be thrifty?
Fashionably yours!
Thanks to Nordstrom for the pictures.

Yes to the Halogen please =) It is a lovely number. AND maybe it will show up at the Rack...
ReplyDeleteGreat find!! I like!
ReplyDeleteThe Halogen blazer for sure=) I like the buttons, it makes it look more polished. Also the detailing makes it look better than the Joie blazer anyway.
ReplyDeleteMm that velvet looks delicious! I'm a bit partial to the Halogen one as far as look and price. <3
ReplyDeleteThe Halogen one for sure!! I have a Halogen blazer that I've had for many years now and it's still in excellent condition! My mom and sisters are still eyeing the blazer after all this time!
ReplyDeleteThe Halogen Blazer looks more stylish than the Joie blazer. I don't know if it's the model wearing or how she's wearing it, but the Halogen one definitely looks better.
ReplyDeleteI like the Halogen one better!

I saw the Halogen one at Nordstrom- it's so cute!
ReplyDeleteI very love velvet blazer...those are great!
ReplyDeleteƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
I like the Halogen one more than the Joie one!
ReplyDeleteI too like the Halogen one better! Kori xoxo
ReplyDeleteamazing. I even prefer the halogen because is less shiny. gorgeous! xo
ReplyDeletethe Halogen one looks definetly bettter!!
ReplyDeleteI think the Halogen one is much more flattering and slimming. And I love blazers so much! Maybe it's because I watch too much What Not to Wear (oh Stacey!) and Gilmore Girls (Stella McCartney was the stylist) but I just love blazers so much.
ReplyDeleteThey're both super cute!
ReplyDeleteAmazing blazer <3
ReplyDeleteoh, i love it!
ReplyDeleteHi darling! Just to let you know, we changed our blog in http://www.cromanticamente.blogspot.com/

Love the combo of velvet and a blazer, it looks great. I'll go cool and thrifty with this one, I actually like the fit better.
ReplyDeleteLove the Halogen version!
ReplyDelete♥ Leia
It's finally cold enough for me to wear a blazer today!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great blazer! Thank you for another wonderful better deal. Hope you had a wonderful Halloweekend!
ReplyDeleteI agree with the others who have said the Halogen version actually looks better!
ReplyDeleteOooh, velvet! Obviously you can't go wrong with either of the jackets; they're FABULOUS.
ReplyDeleteBut i'm especially spitten by Halogen. Something about the fit is a little more "ooh la la."

I'll go cheap, they are so similar and I love it :)
ReplyDeleteOh, I love this!! They both look so pretty and soft, but I'm gonna have to be thrifty and go with the Halogen version. Who could pass that up? :)
ReplyDeleteI'd go the thrifty option even if the expensive one is my namesake (with a different spelling ;))
ReplyDeletedefinitely, maybe
I prefer the look of the Halogen version than the other.

Not gonna lie, I like the more expensiver version better, BUT it may be the rolled sleeve :)
ReplyDeleteAs much as I love Joie I'll take the Halogen. It looks a little darker and I like that. Great find!!
ReplyDeletexo,

I actually like the Halogen one better!

i actually think the halogen one looks way better, not as shiny.... so i'll definitely be thrifty! happy november:)
ReplyDeletehi darling. hope you're having a good week so far.
ReplyDeletenice picks. out of these i like the Joie the most-
because of the more loose-fit.
thanks for sharing
take care
xx
you know, I don't think the Halogen model is actually wearing it that splendid. Wish the cuffs weren't rolled up. I'd never buy anything that expensive.
ReplyDeleteA. I tend to gain weight during the holidays.
B. I'm a messy person. I'd probably just see what I could find close to it at Good Will. You never know what you might find.
Great finds, both of them! And as always I'm the cheaper, choosing that lovely Halogen one!
ReplyDeleteBtw, thanks for your lovely comment on my blog, I really appreciate it
xoxo Sootjeelina <3
I love the Halogen one! It looks like it fits a lot better!
ReplyDeleteI love the Halogen One!
ReplyDeleteGreat pick! They are practically identical!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the Halogen one! A little less structured-feeling and so chic.

Great find- the Halogen looks much better than the Josie. I dont like the nap in the velvet in the Josie one- it doesnt look like high quality velvet and for that amount of $ it should.
ReplyDeleteGreat find!
Cute! It is amazing how you can literally always find something designer for cheaper.
ReplyDeletemy heart just stopped..i am in love. the halogen version is right up my alley!
ReplyDeletexoxo
Ooh I want to touch the jackets haha :) I really want something velvet!
ReplyDeleteNice!!! I miss this tightwad Tuesday thingy of yours Erika! Oh well, I do miss your entire weekly blog treats honestly.
ReplyDeleteOooh, I really like the whole concept of a velvety soft blazer. Halogen for me!
ReplyDeleteHalogen, no doubt about it! Not liking the structure of the Joie.

hmmmmm... can I say neither???? I like this a lot but (and for some reason I'm picturing it on Kate Bosworth) but I do not see it working on me at all! Just not my personal style, so I'll save the 388/138 and instead get some Uggs I've been spying ;)
ReplyDeleteI definitely prefer the halogen one it just looks better quality
ReplyDeleteI like Halogen blazer It is really Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteErika you are fantastic all your blog is so Awesome that I never miss it. I am your great fan.
