Fine, I’ll just come out and say it: I’m totally addicted to all things nautical! Stripes, anchors, the combination of red, white and blue – I’m naturally attracted to all these things. So while doing my daily new arrivals research I had this idea of creating a Budget Look with a nautical theme. Do you like it?

Lea Michele is rather new to the red carpet style game, but she’s already behaving like a pro. I love how she always gives us her megawatt smile. It makes everything look better on her, don’t you agree? Yesterday she attended the second season premiere of Glee wearing a longsleeve blue lace dress by Erdem with black satin Sergio Rossi slingbacks and luscious raspberry red lips. I really like Lea’s playful, girly look, so I decided to recreate it for all you frugal fashionistas and Lea Michele style stalkers. Enjoy!

I know we’re in the middle of summer with most of us dressing in airy summer dresses, tank tops, denim cut-offs & flip flops. Or bikinis. So it naturally takes a lot to make me crave anything that’s non-sleeveless. But as soon as I laid my eyes on these items from BB Dakota‘s upcoming fall collection I was madly in love. Not only because these are all absolutely stylish pieces, but also because almost all of them are under $100 except for the leather jacket which is admittedly a little steep at $300. I’m not ready to part with my sundresses just yet, but I know I’ll be just as happy when fall rolls around.

I noticed I haven’t featured anything else than shoes on Real vs. Steal lately, so today I break the pattern and feature a dress again. The Alexander Wang vest dress below might be already a couple of seasons old (Fall 2008 to be exact), but it’s a great dress nonetheless and would make a great office dress with a turtleneck underneath, don’t you agree?

BB Dakota Luncheon Dress
Looking at the Alexander Wang frock above and this vest dress by BB Dakota is like playing “Spot the difference!“. Both dresses look almost like twins except that one costs $700 and the other just $76. Awesome find, right?

Alexander McQueen‘s Fall 2009 collection was pretty much quintessential McQueen. Part macabre Rocky Horror Picture Show, part British Elegance meets Perfect Tailoring. My feelings towards this collection were mixed and the clown make-up HORRIFIED me, but I found myself adoring a few of the presented pieces. Houndstooth was a key element in McQueen’s fall designs and the jacket below was part of my favorite McQueen ensemble from that collection.

While this winter coat by BB Dakota isn’t strictly a knockoff, I’d say it’s at least inspired by the Alexander McQueen jacket above. I instantly fell in love with this coat and McQueen’s Fall 2009 collection was the first thing that came to my mind when I first saw it. It’s a timeless, feminine coat & ultra cute, too (the buttons, the belt, the voluminous hem *swoon*). Oh, and the price isn’t too shabby either for such a versatile fall/winter key item.
