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

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?

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!

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

One Teaspoon Superman Bodice...Duped

One Teaspoon Superman Bodice, $59

With spring around the corner I've been on the search for bralettes to layer under tank tops. The One Teaspoon Superman bodice has been around for awhile and recently I've noticed some dupes. Check them out below at two different prices:

The bra on the left is available at Urban Outfitters for $39.
The bra featured on the right is from Windsor, and for $16.90 the matching panty is also included.

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!

The Look For Less: Choker Necklace

Child of Wild Gojjam Black Velvet Choker $48, featured in For Love and Lemons holiday look book

The 90's are back in a big way via choker necklaces. The black velvet ones I've been seeing by designers Child of Wild and Vanessa Mooney add a bit of attitude, and sexiness to any look. 

For "trendy" pieces like this, I prefer to start with a dupe to see how much wear I get out of it. And, to see if I even like it enough to splurge on a higher end product. Here's a dupe to try out the trend!

      Vanessa Mooney Charlotte Mae Choker, $100   Pylo Prairie Concho Choker, $15

Western Concho's are on all types of accessories right now. I've noticed them on boots, belts, hats, and jewelry. Can you believe there's an $85 difference between these two chokers? The Vanessa Mooney necklace is definitely more heavy duty, featuring a clasp and a few more conchos. But I'd be just fine with the Pylo option. Check out their website for quite a few more chokers in the $9 to $20 range.

Or, pick up the real deal on sale!! at Urban Outfitters:

Vanessa Mooney Cross Choker now $29.99

A faux fur coat is the perfect thing to throw over a holiday or New Years Eve dress. It's a versatile winter piece that can be used to achieve a boho styled look as well. Check out the models below for some ideas.

Stone Cold Fox Quixote Crop

Rocky Barnes for Soleil Blue

The Stone Cold Fox Quixote Crop was a hit this summer, selling out at many stores and seen on girls at  tons of music festivals. I think this crop could easily be transitioned into a fall and winter piece by styling it with skinny jeans and a kimono, or with a maxi skirt as seen below. If you missed out on this top over the summer heres a chance to pick up a dupe!

Ivory Sweetheart Crop, $38

Quixote Crop, $162 (limited sizes available)

      Celine handbags are just gorgeous and all the rage with the celebrities, and bloggers. But, at a price range of 2,000 to 5,000 per bag, I'll just dream of Celine. Today I'm showing you some similar structured handbags that won't break the bank.
Both dupes are available at Daily Look, a smaller and larger handbag.

On Trend: Bell Bottoms

Novella Royale Via FreePeople.com

Bell bottoms are everywhere these days. They're perfect festival flare, or look great with a casual sweater. An added bonus, they are so comfortable!
Novella Royale has been dominating the bell bottom game, but a pair will set you back around $140.
Want to try the look, but not ready to invest all of that cash? I've got you covered!

I recently discovered a clothing website called PYLO, above are three pairs of bells from their website. They range in price from $40 - $60. The black and white pair on the right is very similar to Novella's signature prints.

On the left is a pair of bells from Tillys $34.99 compared to a pair of Novella Royale Janis Bell Bottoms $139.00. The Tilly's pair are definitely a similar look but cost more than $100 less.

Here I am at Treasure Island Music Fest last month. I chose to invest in a pair of Janis Bells by Novella Royale in dark dial print, because I know I will get a lot of use out of them. I plan on getting some of the less expensive pairs above so I can have more of a variety without doing too much damage to my wallet.

The Perfect Cocktail Dress.. Duped!

Today I have the perfect cocktail party dress. It's never to early to start planning your holiday outfits, right?
When I saw the Dolce Vita X Revolve Iman Dress  it was love at first sight! Unfortunately it sold out before I could purchase.

But luckily I found a dupe at a fraction of the cost! 

Here is the Floral Lace Sheath Dress from Forever 21, $34.80. They are low on sizes in black, but luckily it comes in 3 other colors. It is quite similar to the Dolce Vita dress, featuring the same cut out detailing and lace. Sexy yet classy, Cheers!

Flat OTK Boots

Welcome to my blog! I love keeping up with new trends in fashion, but sometimes I can't afford the big price tags. I plan to feature affordable, on trend looks that are comparable to designer brands.
Today I'm featuring OTK (over-the-knee) boots, which are huge this fall.

My favorite flat option: Stuart Weitzman 5050

At $635 I just planned on admiring this look from afar. But, luckily I found  some dupes!

                      

Forever 21 OTK $39.90                French Blu OTK stretch from Target $59.99 

I think I'll be purchasing the above boots from Target, they're currently having a buy one pair get another 50% off promotion.
