Acacia Swimwear Dupe: Panama Top

I absolutely adore Acacia Swimwear! So do celebrities like Beyonce, LeAnn Rimes, Kate Hudson, and Rihanna who have all been spotted wearing their sexy bikinis.
I think that the brand's popular Panama Top helped to begin the high neck bikini top trend, which is everywhere these days. Take a look at PacSun's dupe of this top below. With spring weather on the horizon it's perfect for a day at the beach, or to pair with some high waisted shorts for an instant festival look.
LA Hearts Top, $39.95 at PacSun

Acacia Panama Top, $115.00 at Vida Soleil

PacSun's version offers a tie back and is also available in white. What a great deal to get the trend for less.

Target Takes On Proenza Schouler!


I am so excited for the return of the DV line for Target, by one of my favorite brands Dolce Vita.
Check out the entire collection of handbags and shoes by clicking here.There was one bag that really caught my eye because I knew there was a similar bag that's been sitting on my Dream Closet Pinterest board for quite some time. DV made a Proenza Schouler dupe! Take a look at the two handbags.
Proenza Schouler PS1 Medium $1895.00

                                         

Womens DV Genuine Suedue Satchel $44.99


There is a certain sexiness that the Proenza bag has that just can't be beat. But, the similarities in shapes of the bag and details, like fringe and the buckles are definitely there. The DV bag boasts genuine suede details, and normal Dolce Vita handbags cost hundreds of dollars, so it's a steal no matter how you look at it. 
What are your thoughts on the DV line for Target?

Western Double Buckle Belt Trend



Kendall Jenner wearing Bri Bri Belt, Made By B-Low the Belt

Lately I've been seeing double buckle belts all over the internet. They're all over Instagram, Pinterest, and some of my favorite bloggers have been styling them perfectly.
The brand that is featured in the image of Kylie above, and the three below is called B-Low the Belt, they go for around $148 and are available on all of my favorite sites such as Revolve, Shopbop, and Nordstrom. This belt is a perfect transitional piece, wear it now with skinny jeans and a tucked in sweater. Rock it in the spring over a cute romper (like below), a maxi skirt, or belt a mini dress with it.
Personally, I have trouble spending $148.00 on a pair of jeans, so spending that much on a belt is just out of the question. I set out to find a dupe, and I've found one that I'm super satisfied with.
Take a look at the dupe right below and then scroll down to see some celeb styling ideas!
Western Pride Double Buckle Belt, $9.50

Rebecca Minkoff Julian Fringe backpack Dupe

I have obsessed over the Julian backpack by Rebecca Minkoff ever since I saw it. I already found a dupe for the original version, and have been searching high and low for a backpack that has similar qualities to the fringed Julian. I found an amazing one!
When I saw this baby in Target I literally ran across the store to it, leaving my boyfriend pretty confused. The backpacks are so similar that I think I'll be perfectly happy with only owning Target's version. When I buy designer items I try to make sure that it's something that will remain a classic and will get tons of use. For that reason I never pulled the trigger and bought the Rebecca Minkoff fringe backpack. I would hate for something so expensive to eventually end up at the back of my closet.
Take a look at the original and the dupe below. Links for purchase are included!

Julian Backpack with Fringe, $395
Zipper Front Backpack, $29.99
Happy Shopping!!

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?
XO, Vanessa
