Real vs. Steal – Alexander Wang Colorblock Tube Dress

by Irina on May 22, 2011

UPDATE: This post has been updated on May 22, 2011. Scroll down to see the new add.

The colorblock tube dress below was one of my favorite pieces from Alexander Wang‘s Spring 2009 collection, but at one point the dress became so popular that I was sick of seeing it every second day on the red carpet. Now that the overexposure has stopped, my love returned, but unfortunately the dress has sold out since. Not that I could afford it were it still available.

Celebrity Look 4 Less – Blair Waldorf in Hervé Léger

by Irina on April 5, 2011

UPDATE: This post has been updated on April 05, 2011. Scroll down to see the new add.

In one of the Gossip Girl episodes called “The Grandfather”, Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester) wore an unusually sexy, figure-hugging Hervé Léger bandage mini dress with white criss cross inlays. However, Blair’s risqué dress was tamed with a cute beige embellished Joie cardigan and a cute nautical Tomassini necklace.

Jessica McClintock Strapless Taffeta Dress

Covet the body-con dress, but don’t have a $2.000/dress budget? You’re in luck because this strapless taffeta dress by Jessica McClintock is a great budget-friendly Hervé Léger alternative. The dress may be black instead of navy, but otherwise it has the same length, cut and detailing. It’s also currently on sale being marked down from $150 to $90. Who else smells a great deal here?
