There’s something really fun about this household heather grey sweatshirt by Elizabeth and James gone glam. Yes, I realize it’s essentially a sweatshirt but look at it! I love it with a pair of fitted jeans, however I wouldn’t necessarily pair it with your old chucks that have been rotting in the back of your closet. Pair it with a nice pair of black pumps to bring out more of a glam look rather than a slouchy “I haven’t had my first cup of coffee“-look that Dakota Fanning is sporting. So, if $312 is a bit steep for you we have another great solution!

EXPRESS Sequin Raglan Sweatshirt
UPDATE (11/16/2011): Reader Aya kindly informed us about yet another fantastic E&J alternative available at EXPRESS. Bonus? They’re currently doing a “Buy 1 Top, Get 1 Top 50% OFF”-promo. Yay for that!

Theme Sequin Sweater
UPDATE (11/14/2011): Ten months after posting the first steal, I’ve came across another great E&J sequin sweater look-a-like by Theme. Although significantly darker than the original I think it’s still a great alternative and a lot cheaper, too!

Ella Moss “Majesty” Sequin Sweatshirt Top
I think the Ella Moss version for less than $100 fits the bill! It’s almost exactly the same look besides a little bit of difference in sleeve length and it comes in grey or black. I would have to say this Ella Moss sequined sweatshirt is superb in following the look and not hurting our wallets.

I can’t hardly wait for the sun to come out! These shoes are adorable and I love the cutout design. Almost reminds me of a crochet pattern from the Victorian era. I would love to see this shoe on a leisurely pursuit with a pair of cute cut-off shorts and a fitted tank and let the shoes do all the talking. And since it’s a neutral color the shoe can go with almost anything… I’m sure they’re comfortable as well since Joie is known for their luxury fabrics… Priced at $255, if this doesn’t quite match your budget here is a second option…

This Steve Madden version is almost an exact replica of the Joie shoe! Plus it’s only $69.95 and it comes in a variety of colors (bone, blush, black, cognac, mustard & teal) just in case you weren’t fond of the elephant leather the Joie comes in! Definitely a steal! Hopefully it’s just as comfortable as the Joie version, too!

DISCLAIMER: I may be a little biased in writing this post. Why? Because I LOVE Fendi! My obsession began back in the day when I was modeling and I’m still feigning after everything Karl Lagerfeld and the Fendi sisters design. My first passion was for their delicious baguette bags (I have 6), now it’s their shoes. Especially this Jardin pump. If my French serves me correctly, jardin translates to garden in English and that’s how I’d feel if I had these – in a virtual Garden of Eden!

Anne Michelle Essence-35 Platform Pumps
This inspired version by Anne Michelle is really a great buy. But you won’t get the deep grey color nor the double platform. Consolation prize – you get to save A LOT of money!

Nine West “Expoze” Pumps
Nine West will “expoze” you to this great pump as well – just at a higher price. But their version is of a darker grey with an extra purple stripe. And yet, still missing that key design element of the double platform. Personally, I wish someone had chosen to do this in the burgundy suede (so much hotter). But I guess if you wanna go cheap, you can’t be choosy!

Runways are styled for pictures, people are styled for living. So, understandably, it sometimes takes a little tweaking to get one to live in the other’s world. This is a perfect example. Alexander Wang has proven that a little leopard goes with everything, but in our case the shorter and more structured jacket will create a look worthy of a few thumbed up Facebook photos.

Hmmm. I have a confession: these Elizabeth and James Valley Soft Cuff Booties are not really my cup of tea. But I’m sure there are ladies out there, who like JLo, would love nothing more than to own a pair. While they are not overly pricey, unfortunately, they are totally sold out. I’m sure those photos of Jennifer Lopez in them had nothing to do with that…

Rosegold “Sara” Lace-Up Booties
If you’re on the hunt for a supple grey suede bootie like the Elizabeth and James version, we’ve spotted a pair that is very similar, and still very available. These “Sara” Lace-Up Booties by Rosegold have that same lace-up detail and foldover cuff, but at $151.22, they’re less than half the price of J. Lo’s faves.
