Michael Kors Fur Pom Keychain

Michael Kors, Fur Pom $48 at Macy's
Blame it on my inner girly side, but I've loved these little puff ball keychains from the moment I saw them. Their such a fun winter accessory for your keys, or clipped on a handbag to spice it up. I couldn't justify spending $50 on a Michael Kors one, so luckily there are now some dupes! Take a look below.
Bauble Bar Fuzzy Pom, $36

INC Pom, $17.99 on sale at Macy's


A simple google search will provide you with tons of options, but these two seem to match the MK quality.

Suede Button Up Skirts for Fall

Button up A-line skirts are everywhere for this fall, and I'm loving the trend! I've seen them available in many different materials including corduroy, denim, and suede. I've been lusting over the Abigail Skirt by Reformation, which is currently sold out. Luckily lots of stores are picking up this trend, so this style of skirt is now available at a lot of different price points.
 Here is the Abigail skirt by Reformation, it retailed for $198. It's suede material and I love the scalloped detailing.
This skirt is available at Asos on sale for $29. It comes in brown and black, and is made of a faux suede material. It's got a scalloped hem, similar to the sold out reformation skirt.

I've had my eye on this genuine suede skirt from Forever 21, which is a steal at only $37.90.
Will you be picking up an A-line skirt for fall?

Rebecca Minkoff Julian Backpack.. Duped!

In just a few days I'll be heading to Outside Lands, a music festival in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park. I spent weeks hunting for a backpack that was trendy but also functional. All summer I've had my eye on Rebecca Minkoff's Julian backpack, but I didn't want to risk trashing it at the festival. Luckily I found a dupe on Asos! check both out below:
ASOS, $57.33

SHOPBOP, $295
The ASOS bag has my favorite details from the Rebecca Minkoff, the dog clip and middle front zipper. I have a feeling I'll be getting a lot of use out of my dupe backpack.

Lace Up Bodysuit

I've been seeing sexy lace up bodysuits everywhere lately. Every time I've seen a picture of one on Pinterest, or Instagram, I've been making a mental note to track one down for myself.
I wanted to show you the bodysuits that I've currently had my eye on, dupes included!
Avalon Bodysuit- Reformation, $78

Dance with Somebody Bodysuit- Windsor, $36.90
Both bodysuits have ties, the Avalon is shown tied and styled as more of a daytime look, while the Windsor one below is styled for a night out. I love the versatility of these bodysuits!
Check out Kim Kardashian's Givenchy bodysuit, it retails for $2,600:
Here's a dupe from Nasty Gal at a fraction of the cost for $78:
So how do you feel about the lace up bodysuit trend? Too risque, or is it something that you would try? I'm definitely going to purchase the Windsor Store suit and give this trend a go!

Sold Out Kimchi Blue Esperanza Halter Dupe


Image Via Pinterest GypsyLovinLight

Today's dupe is of a sold out halter top that Urban Outfitters carried last summer. I wanted to buy the original top last July, but it sold out so quickly online and in stores that I couldn't get my hands on it.
I was so excited when I found a dupe from Windsor Store and had another chance at getting this top, it was also a plus that it was half the price. Scroll through to check out images of the San Marcos Halter from Windsor Store, and the Esperanza Halter from Urban.
Windsor Store, $23.90

Stone Cold Fox Jumper.. Duped!

Hello there ladies today I have a sexy night out jumper that is a Stone Cold Fox dupe.
I hate to do two Forever 21 posts back to back, but I had to share this jumpsuit before it goes out of stock again. It's got a really fun 70's vibe to it and I love the deep V neckline. Take a look below, the Stone Cold Fox jumper is unfortunately sold out, but retailed for $282.

Self Tie Jumpsuit, F21 $32.90
 Pretty similar right?!

Day To Night Maxi

This maxi dress that can be transitioned from day to night effortlessly, is perfect for two reasons:
1. It's under $30!
2. It's a dupe!
When I want a sexy and fun maxi dress I look to So-Cal's Flynn Skye. Their flirty dresses are not only designed in California, but also made here as well. It feels great to support a brand that does everything right here in the USA.
The maxi I'm featuring has the same feel as a Flynn Skye dress I've had my eye on, but the price tag is a fraction of the cost. Take a look at the photos below.

Err Night Maxi, Flynn Skye $198
Off the Shoulder Maxi, F21 $27.90

I adore the material and the flow of the Flynn Skye dress, but check out the similarities with the halter tie, cut out detailing, and the off the shoulder. I'd totally rock this dress at an evening beach party.

On Trend: Fringe Totes

Hey there! One summer trend that I can totally get behind is fringe! Have you noticed that fringe is just about everywhere, and on everything?
I've lusted over Cleobella's  fringe filled Hendrix Tote forever. But at 400.00 it's out of my price range, for a trendy tote bag. Here it is in two great summer colors, cognac and ivory.
 

It's made from sheep leather and its obvious that it's a great quality bag. Purchase either of these over at Revolve Clothing for $397.
If you're like me and you like the trend, but want something a little bit easier on the wallet, check out these three similar vegan leather bags, all available at Nordstrom:

Sole Society, $64.95

Urban Originals, $88
Urban Originals, $88

For Love & Lemons Festival Dress.. Duped!!

Taylor Swift wearing the Festival Dress 

If you've been keeping up with my blog then you know what a huge fan I am of the brand For Love and Lemons. Apparently the fashion world feels the same way, because I've been seeing For Love & Lemons inspired pieces popping up everywhere!
Today I'm featuring a Forever 21 dupe of the Festival Dress. Pictured above on Taylor Swift. I own the original and love pairing it with some knee high boots and a fun hat.
Pictured above is the similar dress available at Forever 21 for $22.90. I love how the navy color really makes the eyelash lace insets pop out, and bell sleeves have been huge these past few seasons. You can purchase the original dress for $193.00 from Revolve Clothing.

Birkenstock Dupes- Via Target

Image via Pinterest

Sandal season is arriving and last summer's Birkenstock trend hasn't faded. Luckily some less expensive brands have caught on and dupes of these comfy sandals are arriving everywhere! Today I've got two styles from target to show you that are very similar to Birkenstocks. Scroll down to check them out, follow the links to purchase.
Birkenstock Arizona, Zappos $99.95
Bailey Two Buckle Footbed Sandal, Target $24.99


Birkenstock Gizeh, Zappos $94.95

Ida Footbed Sandals, Target $24.99

I've had the white pair from Target for about a month and can not keep them off my feet. They're so versatile, I can wear them as a fashion statement and so comfortable that I took them to wear while camping twice.

Spell & The Gypsy Collective

Spell's Website, Click Here
Spell & The Gypsy Collective based out of Byron Bay, Australia is one of my favorite brands to admire. Their pieces literally make my jaw fall to the floor. With most pieces falling in the $100 to $200 price range I'm not able to buy every thing I love. Vanessa Hudgens rocked one of their rompers (or "playsuits" as they so cutely call them) at Coachella and the brand has been gaining so much popularity since then.

One of their playsuits that I adore is the white Casablanca. It's pretty much on every single girl's fashion board on Pinterest. I can't even explain my excitement when I found a dupe this evening! It's not exact but definitely has the same feel, at a fraction of the price. Check out the comparison pictures below. Follow the links to purchase either.

Free People Daisy Dress Duped!

Via Free People Lookbook
This dress has been around for awhile and its quite popular on Free People's website. With over 100 reviews, it is rated at 4 1/2 stars. What I love about this dress is it's versatility. It can be worn as a sundress in the summer, or dressed up for an occasion. Scroll down to see more of the Free People dress, and the dupe.


Free People Fitted With Daisies Dress, $128

Raga x Dailylook Lace Fit and Flare, $49.99

The only obvious difference in the two dresses is that the middle floral crochet detail on the Dailylook dress isn't daisies. Both dresses come in a range of colors, including a beautiful burgundy that would be perfect for Valentines Day!
