I know everybody in the fashion industry is currently riding the floral pants bandwagon, but I happen to obsess over this gorgeous floral print skirt by Lipsy instead. It’s the epitome of femininity and what could be more fitting for Spring than a floral printed skirt or dress? The price of £35 isn’t too bad either (P.S.: Lipsy also offers a very reasonable £5 USA & Canada delivery. Just sayin’.

Wow! Can you possibly imagine walking in these Giuseppe Zanotti E26035 Peep-toe Ankle Strap Wedges? Once I can get passed learning how to walk in these, the beauty of this wedge should become second nature. Certainly, there is a great amount of appeal, and the pale hue is very original and gives this wedge an extra flair. But for $695, these shoes become more of an investment than a simple addition to your footwear collection, therefore scroll down to see the steal!

Featuring a similar style are these Lipsy “Trinity” Peep Toe Wedges; for one, I can’t ask for anything better. As much as I love the nude color scheme, these are also available in gold glitter for a touch of pizzazz and classic black suede, which is an obvious staple. Plus, did you notice the super cute charm by the mary-jane strap?

Is there anyone out there who wasn’t crazy about some aspect of the Burberry Prorsum fall/winter 2010 collection? From the draped, ruched mini dresses, to the over-the-knee boots, to the completely delicious cropped shearling jackets—it was a sensation at the minimum, iconic at the max. And you can see why. The Shearling Funnel Neck Aviator Jacket looks like a cloud in the form of a clothing. If I could justify $3.5k for it, I so would.

UPDATE (11/14/2011): And here’s another great Burberry alternative coming from MICHAEL Michael Kors. Not a steal but possibly worth the investment if you fancy the look of the Burberry jacket.

UPDATE (11/10/2010): Excuse me? Please meet the love of your life! OMG, ASOS has done it! The perfect Burberry Prorsum aviator jacket knockoff. Isn’t it beautiful? I just wish it would be a little cheaper, but even at $600 this buy might be worth the investment. Either way, if you want this jacket, get it NOW. It will fly off the shelves.

UPDATE (11/12/2010): Another great Burberry Prorsum alternative by Barney’s Orignals. A real leather jacket for under $150? Sold! Available in brown or black.

If you, like me, are really hanging to recreate the Burberry fall 2010 aesthetic at a lower price point, you know it can be achieved pretty easily until you get to the outerwear. Well now, even that is no obstacle. Behold the Lipsy Faux Sheepskin Aviator Jacket, ladies. This brown faux shearling is cut beautifully, and is the perfect topper for a skinny ruched mini, or even jeans and a tank. And at a mere £85, you’ll be looking like Burberry Barbie in no time.

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.

Loading ...UPDATE (05/22/2011): Almost 2 years later I found another Alexander Wang dress lool-a-like by Wet Seal. It has a white top panel instead of a black one, but the rest is spot-on. And the dress is $22.50 only. What a deal! Click on the link below and navigate to the dresses section or enter style number “45241109” in the search field to find the Alexander Wang inspired dress on the website.

UPDATE (09/29/2009): Here’s another Alexander Wang tube dress knockoff for you. This one’s by Atria and it comes in many different other color combos as well.

All the European Alexander Wang fans rejoice! Lipsy has a great knockoff dress retailing for £65. The material is different and the colorblocking isn’t in the exact same order, but it’s still a great look 4 less alternative.

I know Balmain is supposed to be a super exclusive, high-end, ultra-luxe fashion label and even though I am used to see outraging prices for the most basic clothing I’m still apalled whenever I see the price tag of anything Balmain. I mean, come on, $13.000 for a sequin mini dress? Are you serious? As much as I adore Balmain and all of Christophe’s wonderful work for the French fashion house, there’s no way I would EVER buy it even if I had a few thousands to spare.
Balmain Paillette Mini Dress
($13.395, SOLD OUT)
Loading ...UPDATE (09/08/2010): This Balmain knockoff by French Connection is certainly not a steal, but considering the original retails for 13k, $269.60 doesn’t seem that expensive in comparison, right? Available in black or navy.

Luckily, you don’t need to sell your soul in order to achieve the same glam sexy vixen look à la Balmain. Lipsy has come up with a great and 100x more affordable alternative. I wish they wouldn’t have dampened all the outstanding features that made this sequin LBD stand out (e.g. shoulder pads, plunge neck and length of the dress), but all in all it’s still a super sexy dress which goes to show that you don’t need to spend a fortune to look like a million dollars.
