In Selena Gomez’ Closet – ASOS Asymmetric Corset Maxi Dress

by Irina on January 26, 2012

UPDATE: This post has been updated on January 26, 2012. Scroll down to see the new add.

I’m always happy to see celebrities wearing accessible fashion, especially when they’re hitting the red carpet. Selena Gomez did just that by opting for a Balmain-ish ASOS black frock ($146.54) which she paired with a pair of steep Giuseppe Zanotti chiffon sandals ($850) at the GRAMMY Nominations Concert a few days ago. Well, you can’t expect a celeb going budget fashion head-to-toe I guess.

Real vs. Steal – Alice + Olivia Sequin Dress with Keyhole Back

by Irina on December 22, 2011

So who hasn’t decided yet what to wear on New Year’s Eve? I know I’m still in the decision-making process. A sequin dress like the one below by Alice + Olivia is somewhat of an obvious choice, but has there ever been a better time than NYE to go all out and rock everything out of a sequin mini dress? I don’t think so. So give sequins a chance to ring in the new year with you. Granted, not everyone can or will shell out almost $500 for a sparkling cocktail dress. And besides, this particular dress is already a couple seasons old, hence completely sold out and therefore almost impossible to get hold of.

If you’re considering going for a sparkly LBD and want one in the style of the Alice + Olivia number, take a look at this sweet mini dress available at LuLu*s which is stunningly similar to the A + O original but costs only $83.

Real vs. Steal – Max Azria Ruffle-Silk Mini Dress

by Celine on October 26, 2011

UPDATE: This post has been updated on October 26, 2011. Scroll down to see the new add.

A couple of months back we did a post on Camilla Belle’s gorgeous Max Azria Silk mini dress, but at the time we didn’t have a steal version for you lovely folks. I gushed over the color and the shape, the ruffle, the slit, and how perfect it all was for summer. One thing not so worship-worthy was and is the price. Also unfortunate is the fact that the dress is sold out. No wonder, really, considering how, well belle Miss Belle looks wearing it.

UPDATE (09/09/2009): And here’s a second alternative, also in red, by Type Z. Isn’t it beautiful? I really like the vibrant red color.

Esley There’s A Reason Party One Shoulder Dress

UPDATE (09/09/2009): A fabulous and affordable Max Azria alternative is brought to you by Esley. Sadly, it’s only available in red.

LuLu*s Miss Mitzy Mint Dress

Leave it to LuLu*s to feature a stellar knockoff of our Max Azria frock. They have the best mix of brightly colored, fun, summer dresses, don’t you think? Sure, their “Miss Mitzy Mint” dress is more of a turquoise than a green, but I think this bluer color is probably more universally flattering than the sea green of the original. This is the perfect dress to take you from the heat of a summer day to the very different heat of a summer night. Only $39!

Dress of the Day – LuLu*s Stripe for the Picking Navy Blue and Red Dress

by Irina on October 25, 2011

So you might already be aware of my obsession with all things striped. If you are, it might not come as a surprise that I am absolutely in love with this cute red navy striped dress by LuLu*s. It reminds me of Zoe Saldana’s EXPRESS striped dress only I think this one is actually prettier. And cheaper, too! Also, how cute is the cut-out back?

Real vs. Steal – Vivienne Westwood Armour Ring

by Irina on October 14, 2011

I am so going to make this Vivienne Westwood ring mine! In silver! I’ve been obsessed with it for years now and always kept saying that I’d buy it for myself on the next birthday, but the years passed and passed and I just couldn’t bring myself to spend that much money on a single jewelry item. But this year I’m really going to buy it. Whether in the coming days as a belated birthday present or in a few weeks as an early christmas gift, it is so going to happen this year.

So you might not be as much in love with the armor ring as I am and hence are rather looking for a cheap alternative to fix your jewelry needs. If this is the case then feast your eyes on these Vivienne Westwood inspired rings available at LuLu*s which are far away from being a perfect look-a-like but will give you the same tough look for just $19 a pop!
