Michael Kors dress, Dior sandals! Meet Angelina Jolie!

anna — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 22:41:48 +0000

When I saw those pictures from “Inglourious Basterds”, I was so impressed how by her look! I was just thinking to have such a nice dress! I’ve found out that this is a dress by Michael Kors Fall 2009 with a price $3295. Of course, the dress was sold immediately after Angelina wore it. It WAS available at Nordstrom:

I like her Rock style so much, with this leather mini dress and strappy sandals… OMG, I will remember it for sure very long!

However, I have a good news for those who want to try this outfit for a less money ;) First of all, you can find a nice faux leather mini dress at Forever21:

Asos has a very nice alternative:

At UrbanOutfitters you can find really nice similar dresses, Sunset dress and CORPUS dresses:

UPD: at Mango you can find very nice alternative for a less money:

Finally, let’s have a look at her shoes! She’ve chosen strappy Dior sandals, available currently at BergdorfGoodman:

Actually, I couldn’t find matchy-matchy alternatives, but I’m pretty sure that after those night out we will have many similar sandals for a less money! Now, you can find similar at Asos Harlow, Charlotte Russe, Bakers Alysa, Faith(Asos) and Anne Michelle (LuLu’s) with very friendly prices!

Very sexy look for self-confident woman!

UPD: well, as I said we all will have similar alternatives many times more. This time is bebe version, not really cheap, but completely match of Dior:

UPD2: dsw has light version with very friendly price:

Burberry vs bebe vs Michael Stars vs Macy’s vs GAP

anna — Tue, 26 May 2009 19:29:32 +0000

This season Burberry offers degrade coloured trenches, tees and cardigans. I must say it looks very-very nice, I’ve already bought Thomas Burberry ombre tank and everybody asks me where :) So now I’m thinking about one of these cardigans.
This one is a long sleeve dégradé wool cardigan with v-neckline will work both at work place and during summer night stroll with jeans and wedges. You can purchase it at BurberryUSAonline. Well, you can also find some affordable version at bebe in olive/vert.

I also found another Burberry silk pale bark cardigan. It’s available at Net-a-Porter ($375) and BurberryUSAonline ($495). When I found two similar versions at bebe and tee-zone, I thought that they both were inspired by Burberry. So, the first one is grey/black available at bebe, while the second is by Michael Stars, available at tee-zone.

You can afford high fashion with small efforts :)

UPD: I’ve just found great one at Macys with a great price, unfortunately it’s available only at XL size:

UPD2: I’ve also found great ones at GAP in grey, pink and blue (thanks to Gwassie):

Christian Louboutin vs Charlotte Russe vs bebe

These Christian Louboutin Jefferson Platform sandals look very lovely, I would try them with jeans, simple white tank and straw large bag :) or they can be paired with white shirt to get more business look :) They’re available at Barneys in navy, red and blush:

Honestly, they’re nice to have, but maybe it’s not the most necessary pair, even if you can afford them. So, let me show some nice versions for which you can surely spend your money :)

These ones are by Charlotte Russe but look exactly like Louboutins :)

So, why overpay?

UPD: at bebe you can find leather version of these sandals. Paige has just the right touch of preppy style. Leather slingback sandals. Toes lined with a bright metallic lace. Lace detail weaves up each side.

Black silk mini tunic Haute Hippie dress with metallic paillette detailing has a sleeveless silhouette. Detailing in geometric squares down the middle of front and back of dress and on the neckline and shoulder straps. You can purchase it at Mytheresa:

At bebe you can find an affordable version in pink, which is even better for summer, don’t you think so?

Even I like them both, I’d rather got the look for less :)

Matthew Williamson vs bebe

At bebe you can find very similar version of this dress, and of course more affordable one:

Balmain vs bebe vs Oasis

anna — Fri, 01 May 2009 12:28:23 +0000

This season Balmain clothing and shoes are the most desirable pieces for me! This time there is a sexiest skirt with beyond the clouds price!

This ultra glamorous curve contouring studded black mini skirt from Balmain can be paired with fierce heels and an oversized blazer for an evening ensemble with rock-chic appeal. It’s available at Net-a-Porter:

At bebe I’ve found a Balmain style dress, which I liked so much! With alternating rows of studded silver and gunmetal beading, the basic dress is transformed into a symphony of embellished style. Strapless, straight neckline with detachable strap:

You can pair it with one these sandals and get a stunning outfit!

UPD: if you live in UK, you can purchase very nice zipper studded skirt at Oasis:

Beyonce wore this amazing skirt at London’s O2 arena, she added simple tank and very-very high heels!

Ideal for turning up the heat, step out in cool mesh. Toes peep from below the patent wrapped mesh. Patent piping arches across the foot. These Lizzy Mesh Sandals are available at bebe:

Balenciaga vs GoJane vs bebe

anna — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 12:30:54 +0000

Balenciaga is one of my favourite shoe designers! And not only for me :) They always look unlike anything others. Unfortunately, they’re hardly affordable if you’re not a celebrity… These amazing heeled gladiators are available in black and yellow:

Fortunately, you don’t need to spend $1245 for them. You can cash alternative just for $31.50!!!

At GoJane shop you can find them in yellow and black:

Moreover, you can find them in green and pink! With the price, you can buy even several pairs!

For me, green and yellow win for summer. Which of them you choose?

UPD: at bebe you can also find alternative in turqouise, orange and tan.

Chanel vs Forever21 vs bebe

anna — Sun, 05 Apr 2009 20:29:47 +0000

Chanel jelly thong sandals were hits of previous seasons and sold out immediately. The price was about $350! Too much for jelly flip flop, isn’t it? You can find blue at Bluefly for $220 (was $275), pink at eBay for $419.95. At the Spring-Summer Resort 2009 show Mr. Lagerfeld offered black and white camellia flower version with price about $350. Let’s have a look at them all:

Well, if you don’t wanna spend almost three hundreds dollars on it, then I have good news for you. Forever21 made me glad to know about completely the same jelly sandals, but for really LESS money $5.50 in pink, black and clear:

Do you still want to pay much for them?

Thanks to my reader Aly Rizzo for the hint!

UPD: I’ve just found in Kmart yellow, blue and red version of these nice jellys:

UPD2: you can also have a black and white version at bebe just for $29:
