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.

Rachel Bilson is one of my style-crushes. I pretty much fall head over heels for everything she wears. I love that she is neither obsessively trendy nor yawningly classic; she lands somewhere in the middle. So naturally she would choose 3.1 Phillip Lim‘s Edie Bow Studded bag as her go-to accessory. The bow is of course unapologetically girly, but the studs add a roughness. The size, too, is perfect. Obviously Rachel agrees as she appears to carry it constantly! Rachel isn’t the only one, however; we’ve also seen this bag on the shoulders of Diane Kruger, Leighton Meester and Nicky Hilton. I’d love to add my name to that list, I really would, but it’s the same old song: too pricey and sold out.

NASTY GAL Gold Star Satchel

ModCloth Star Light, Star Bright Bag
Well, well, well, look what popped up on ModCloth? There is absolutely no denying that the Star Light, Star Bright bag was heavily inspired by the Phillip Lim Edie. From the bow to the studs to the embossed leather – ladies and gentlemen: we have a dead ringer. With the much more manageable price of $30, this bag is sure to be a huge hit.

HEY STELLAAAHHH! Must be screamed with as much passion as Marlon Brando does in the classic movie, A Streetcar Named Desire. Stella McCartney please, unchain my heart and wallet from this gorgeous bag you’ve designed! But, my dear and fellow vegan, a thousand dollars for a bag that’s not even real leather? Ummm, on what planet does this happen? Oh yeah… how could I forget, the planet named Hollywood!

Spiegel Foldover Bag with Chains
OK girls, forget foldover, I’m bowled over by Spiegel‘s version of Stella’s bag! Honestly, I wasn’t really feelin’ this look. But… it’s official; I’m now part of the “chain gang” because of this very creative and economical 2-for-1 design. A shoulder bag and a clutch? SOLD!

Taylor Swift‘s style can be defined as 100% girly-girl. Whenever I see pictures of Taylor she’s either wearing something frilly, sparkling, ruffled or anything with a bow on top. Take this outfit for example which she recently wore while being at a church in Maine. Curly hair? Check. Girly dress? Check. Cute shoes? Check. Et voilà – a typical Taylor Swift look. Bonus: To recreate Taylor’s exact look, you won’t have to spend more than $200.
