Real vs. Steal – Burberry Double Breasted Long Cotton Trench Coat

by Juliana on February 4, 2012

‘Tis the season of the trench. One of the classic essentials to every stylish girl’s wardrobe, this must-have is a safe return on investment. You can wear it on any occasion; from going out over a cocktail dress or with jeans and a feminine blouse on a hot date. It will take you from the airport to an elegant dinner, and you’ll look just as chic. For a piece like this, it’s really important to look for quality. And quality is something the iconic Burberry Trench has, but spending over a thousand dollars isn’t the only way to invest. Take a look at our other option below.

Mango Double Breasted Trench

Lucky for those of us who are on a budget, great quality can be found at an awesome price – if you know where to look. This gorgeously tailored trench by Mango, pays homage to the original silhouette and close attention to detail with its tortoiseshell buttons and flattering seams (in all the right places). Ladies without trenches, at $159.99, this is surely a wise addition to your closet.

Real vs. Steal – Max Azria Ruffle-Silk Mini Dress

by Celine on October 26, 2011

UPDATE: This post has been updated on October 26, 2011. Scroll down to see the new add.

A couple of months back we did a post on Camilla Belle’s gorgeous Max Azria Silk mini dress, but at the time we didn’t have a steal version for you lovely folks. I gushed over the color and the shape, the ruffle, the slit, and how perfect it all was for summer. One thing not so worship-worthy was and is the price. Also unfortunate is the fact that the dress is sold out. No wonder, really, considering how, well belle Miss Belle looks wearing it.

UPDATE (09/09/2009): A fabulous and affordable Max Azria alternative is brought to you by Esley. Sadly, it’s only available in red.

LuLu*s Miss Mitzy Mint Dress

Leave it to LuLu*s to feature a stellar knockoff of our Max Azria frock. They have the best mix of brightly colored, fun, summer dresses, don’t you think? Sure, their “Miss Mitzy Mint” dress is more of a turquoise than a green, but I think this bluer color is probably more universally flattering than the sea green of the original. This is the perfect dress to take you from the heat of a summer day to the very different heat of a summer night. Only $39!

Real vs. Steal – Gucci Malika Leather & Velvet Strappy Platform Sandals

by Irina on June 1, 2011

Gucci‘s S/S 2011 collection was some sort of style epiphany for me. I’d even go as far to say it was one of the best S/S collections I’ve ever seen. I loved everything from this collection: the colors, the fabrics, the silhouettes, the accessories and of course, the shoes! Gucci’s “Malika” strappy sandals sure do look luxe. The gold piping, the smooth velvet straps, the pin-thin gold stiletto heel. Perfection! Except for the not-so-nice price of $995.

ALDO “Boulger” T-Strap Sandals

If you love the look of Gucci, but don’t have the funds to support your designer obsession, you might want to opt for these more wallet-friendly ALDO heels instead. They’re not a dupe and definitely have a few differences, but the overall look still screams Gucci to me. Available in orange, camel & gold.

Celebrity Look 4 Less – Camille Belle’s Casual Coachella Look

by Irina on April 19, 2011

Spring time is festival time! Dozens of celebs flocked to Coachella last weekend to get their live music fix and pretend like they are just a random person in the crowd. Yeah, right. Actress Camille Belle attended a Coachella BBQ hosted by Mulberry wearing a Mulberry top and bag, cuffed denim shorts, coral sunnies and matching sandals. I really liked this casual yet stylish outfit and decided to do a look 4 less. See our budget-friendly take on Camilla’s look below.

In Camilla Belle’s Closet – Max Azria Ruffle-Silk Mini Dress

by Celine on March 5, 2010

I mentioned in a previous post that every woman needs a brightly colored dress in her fancy-function repertoire; so how happy was I to find this picture of Camilla Belle, demonstrating that philosophy perfectly! The bright sea-green of her Max Azria ruffle-silk dress looks great with her tan and she’s got some one-shoulder/Grecian action going on, which is an insanely popular silhouette right now. She chose the perfect (minimal) accessories to compliment her statement dress: a delicate chain, earrings and bangle and a matching silver clutch and pumps. Camilla is a gorgeous girl, but I think she looks especially hot in this little number.
