Celebrity Look 4 Less – Kim Kardashian in Rachel Roy

by Velicia Hill on October 6, 2010

Oh how I adore, kute & kurvaceaous Kim Kardashian! I’m gonna guess that she never leaves home without her black American Express card. But I know for sure, she NEVER walks the red carpet without these three things: false eyelashes, heels and an article of clothing to hug her infamous curves! So if you have the skin tone to pull off this salmon colored body-hugger, then follow her lead. Swim upstream and check out this entire look for less!

Real vs. Steal – Christian Louboutin Dillian Pumps

by Irina on July 18, 2010

UPDATE: This post has been updated on July 18, 2010. Scroll down to see the new adds.

Christian Louboutin‘s “Dillian” pumps were designed for 3.1 Phillip Lim’s Spring 2009 collection. I love the shape of the pumps, but the big petal/ruffle thing on the front makes me rather hesitant as it’s so big it could easily drown your feet. Still loving them? If you have about 2k of spare cash, you’re good to go.

Vince Camuto “Marcia” Pumps

UPDATE (11/25/2009): Here’s another great alternative to the Christian Louboutin “Dillian” pumps by Vince Camuto. They come in either black, stone or purple suede (found via The Look 4 Less).

Dollhouse “Soleil” Ruffled Pumps

Scary price, no? However, if you’re not afraid of ruffles and want heels in the style of the Louboutins, this is your chance to satisfy your budget-friendly designer shoe dreams. Dollhouse’s “Soleil” or “Soliel” Mary Jane pumps are almost identical, even the ginormous petal on the front is spot on. The pumps come either in black or purple.

Editorial Inspiration – White Lace Dresses

by Irina on July 11, 2010

I’ve been looking at this picture of model Nika Lauraitis posing in front of the Barbadian sun for the last few days and I must say I’m slightly obsessed. The editorial called Sweet Reverie (shot by Max Abadian) has been printed in Flare’s May issue and it is outstandingly beautiful, relaxed, dreamy. Definitely one of my favorite editorials of 2010. I’ve been especially smitten with Nika’s delicate white lace dress (hers is by Dolce & Gabbana S/S 2010) which she wears over a black corset here. White lace is undoubtedly tricky to pull off for grown women, but I think I found a couple of great and budget-friendly options which could look – if accessorized right – almost quite as eye-catching as D&G’s lacy number.

In Emmy Rossum’s Closet – VAVA by Joy Han & Gustto

by Irina on June 5, 2009

You’re probably already aware of my obsession for everything nautical, so it may not surprise you that seeing Emmy Rossum in this super cute VAVA by Joy Han skipper dress makes me swoon. Emmy attended Nivea and Shay Todd’s “Bikini Bash” in Malibu a few days ago and looked simply drop dead gorgeous in that dress whilst being perfectly accessorized with a white Gustto “Andrea” satchel.

I am really, really loving Emmy’s dress – the cute navy striped bodice, the high-waisted denim skirt and don’t even get me started on the cute gold buttons! L-O-V-E! Perfect summer dress.
