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.

Celebrity Look 4 Less – Scarlett Johansson’s Green Dolce & Gabbana Lace Dress

by Irina on September 27, 2011

Ever since Scarlett Johansson split from hubby & hottie Ryan Reynolds her style and Wow!-factor has plummeted tremendously. I can’t even remember being mildly excited about any of her red carpet looks this year. But while we give ScarJo time to recollect her sense of style and let her get back to her A game, let’s go back to one of her best red carpet moments in 2010: the green Dolce & Gabbana lace dress which she wore to the MTV Movie Awards last year. So hot! Check out our budget-friendly take on Scarlett’s delicate look below and let us know what you think.

Real vs. Steal – Alexander Wang Colorblock Tube Dress

by Irina on May 22, 2011

UPDATE: This post has been updated on May 22, 2011. Scroll down to see the new add.

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.

Budget Look – Bright Eyed Girl

by Irina on April 18, 2011

After doing a post on neon pink shoes I felt really inspired to do a budget look featuring bright solid colors (very on trend for S/S 2011). I love the combination of the hot pink dress and the cold blue hue of the pumps. The turquoise jewelry gives an additional pop of color while the bag mutes the look a bit. My tip: match your mani and pedi to your dress and you’ll be a perfect, fabulous 10/10!

Celebrity Look 4 Less – Blair Waldorf in Hervé Léger

by Irina on April 5, 2011

UPDATE: This post has been updated on April 05, 2011. Scroll down to see the new add.

In one of the Gossip Girl episodes called “The Grandfather”, Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester) wore an unusually sexy, figure-hugging Hervé Léger bandage mini dress with white criss cross inlays. However, Blair’s risqué dress was tamed with a cute beige embellished Joie cardigan and a cute nautical Tomassini necklace.

Jessica McClintock Strapless Taffeta Dress

Covet the body-con dress, but don’t have a $2.000/dress budget? You’re in luck because this strapless taffeta dress by Jessica McClintock is a great budget-friendly Hervé Léger alternative. The dress may be black instead of navy, but otherwise it has the same length, cut and detailing. It’s also currently on sale being marked down from $150 to $90. Who else smells a great deal here?
