Designer Fashion 4 Less – Love YaYa Siren Dress

by Irina on May 25, 2009

I’m currently totally obsessed with everything nautical and when I saw this sailor dress from Love YaYa I found myself instantly in love with it. This dress is perfect for a day at the beach, a picnic, a BBQ, you name it. I practically live in short dresses during summer and so should you. Nothing’s more comfortable than a floaty summer dress.

LuLu’s Bicyclette Striped Tank Dress

This sailor tank dress from LuLu’s isn’t necessarily a knockoff, but the look and feel of the dress is the same, so I thought I’d post this dress as a look 4 less. I find myself liking LuLu’s $32 version more than the $191 Love YaYa dress actually.

In Blake Lively’s Closet – Adam Silk Double Strap Playsuit

by Irina on May 24, 2009

Blake Lively attended The CW’s 2009 Network UpFront Party looking absolutely adorable in a baby blue Adam silk playsuit which she accessorized with nude Louboutin peep-toes and multiple gold bangles.

Blake had a really disappointing fashion run last year (remember her most recent disaster: the blue Versace dress @ Costume Institute Gala). But with a look like this maybe all hope is not lost forever.

Designer Fashion 4 Less – Givenchy Gladiator Open Toe Booties

by Irina on May 23, 2009

Last year these gladiator booties from Givenchy were all the rage on the red carpet. They took Hollywood by storm and sold out shortly thereafter despite the hefty price tag of $995.

Celebrities Love Givenchy

As you can see many celebrities like Cassie, Charlize Theron, Heidi Montag and Lauren London all opted for Givenchy’s open toe booties.

Boutique 9 Joleen Gladiator Sandals

I have seen countless knockoffs of these Givenchy gladiator booties, but Boutique 9′s Joleen sandals are probably the best of the bunch. They are not 100% the same, but you can clearly see the inspiration Boutique 9 has taken from the Givenchys.

Not being the cheapest option, I’d still recommend these if you want Givenchy 4 less because they look well manufactured. Available colors are black, dove grey and tan.

  • Piperlime ($150, tan leather only, limited sizes)

Steven By Steve Madden Ginn Strappy Pump

If you prefer a knockoff that’s more similar to the original Givenchys, then you’ll probably like these knockoffs from Steve by Steve Madden better.

Designer Fashion 4 Less – Alexander Wang Brenda Washed Shoulder Bag

by Irina on May 20, 2009

I love (almost) everything coming from Alexander Wang, but shelling out $725 for a bag is neither reasonable to me nor anywhere in my budget (I’m also rather a shoes girl).

Steve Madden B-ZIPCROSS Shoulder Bag

Count on Steve Madden to deliver. His B-ZIPCROSS shoulder bag is a good look 4 less alternative. The bag comes in either black, grey, raspberry or white and is currently on sale for $148.50 (was $198). Yay!

In Vanessa Hudgens’ Closet – Myne, Antik Batik & Dolce Vita

by Irina on May 17, 2009

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?
