I’m usually not a jewelry type of girl. You’ll hardly find me wearing any accessories at any given day. Like most women, I managed to acquire a basic jewelry collection, but nothing to get a real jewelry freak excited about. Lately, however, I found myself pondering about going on a jewelry shopping spree. I know this sounds cliché, but accessories really can spice up the most boring outfit. Invest in a few statement pieces and you’ll have a sheer endless pool of possibilities to revive your wardrobe.

A few weeks ago actress Vanessa Hudgens was spotted out and about in Hollywood sporting a super flirty floral high-waisted Myne skirt with a black tank, her favorite DvF pendant necklace & aviator Ray-Bans, Dolce Vita sandals and a black Antik Batik fringe bag.

I love this look on Vanessa, she’s improving more and more in the style department.

Vanessa Hudgens Look 4 Less

Like Vanessa’s flirty ensemble, but don’t have thousands of cash laying around? No problem, here are a few recession-proof suggestions that are just as stylish:

LuLu’s Plush Rose Tank Dress

This tank dress from LuLu’s instantly reminded me of Vanessa’s outfit when I stumbled upon it. The skirt might not be pink like Vanessa’s, but it’s high-waisted, has florals on it and costs only $34.

Report Nita Black Sandal Flats

Again these sandals are no exact match to Vanessa’s flats, but why spend hundreds on pricey shoes when there are cuties like these which are way more affordable?

At the LG Rumorous Night with Heidi Klum, actress Vanessa Hudgens arrived on the red carpet wearing a tiered turquoise silk dress by Gold Hawk with black Givenchy heels and a sequinned Chanel clutch. What a great summery look for Vanessa, love it!

What I also loved was Vanessa’s gorgeous gold Diane von Furstenberg pendant necklace.

GUESS Holda Gladiator Sandal

These gladiator sandals by GUESS are a great alternative to Vanessa’s pricey Givenchy heels. They look almost the same, but just cost about 1/7 of the price and come in either black, dark red or gold snakeskin.

Nine West Jamie Sandal

If you want to save a few dollars, then you should go for Nine West’s “Jamie” sandal. Nine West’s version has an additional strap, but other than that the sandals are just as as good as the GUESS knockoffs. Available in either black or black patent.

Nicole Richie recently stepped out looking like an Egyptian/Boho princess wearing a white maxi dress with various House of Harlow 1960 pieces from her newest collection, including a standout black plated resin necklace, to celebrate the launch of her jewelry line at Kitson in West Hollywood. It was such a lovely, soft look for Nicole and I especially love her statement necklace and the brass coin headpiece.

Vanessa Hudgens looked spring-ready in her boho-inspired attire wearing a printed green summer dress with cute black Chinese Laundry sandals, a grey suede JJ Winters fringed bag and a turquoise stoned Calleen Cordero cuff.

Our Rating:

Chinese Laundry “Sudoku” Sandals

Aren’t these “Sudoku” sandals by Chinese Laundry just too cute? And they’re affordable, too. A perfect pair of summer flats with an edgy twist. Other available color options are desert tan, navy and rose.

If Zappos doesn’t have the Sudoku sandals in your size or desired color, you might want to try your luck at these stores:

• Heels.com ($69.99, available in black, beige and navy)
• Piperlime.com ($70, desert tan only)

Vanessa sure loves her Chinese Laundry “Sudoku” sandal flats as she has been seen sporting them various times while she was out and about.

JJ Winters Grey Suede Fringed Bag

This grey suede fringe messenger bag by JJ Winters costs $425 and is also available in black and purple.

($425, Singer22.com)

Seems like Vanessa is also a big fan of her JJ Winters fringed bag. She has been seen toting it around at least a dozen times.

Calleen Cordero Julia Pfeifer Cuff #8

I LOVE Vanessa’s turquoise stoned Calleen Cordero cuff. It’s quintessential boho chic, handmade and the quantities are limited. If $249 is your kind of budget, get yours before they’re gone.
