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.

Perfect Valentine's Day Dress... A For Love and Lemons Dupe

Valentine's day is approaching quickly and with it landing on a Saturday this year it can not be avoided. I've got the perfect dress for the occasion. 

Antigua Dress, $228

At over $200, I would consider this a splurge, and an unrealistic purchase. But this dupe is right up my alley! 

Tan and Wine Red Lace Dress, LuLu's $56

Attached? Spend some of that money you just saved on your man. Single? Treat yourself ;) and spend a night out looking fabulous.

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:

For Love & Lemons Skivves Dupe

The Love You Knot Bondage Bralette  featured on the cover of Harper's Bazar

For Love & Lemons is one of my new favorite labels. Their undergarment line that they call "Skivves" is filled with unique pieces, lots covered in beautiful lace.  Check out the Skivves collection here if you'd like to know more.
Here is a great (and cheaper!!) alternative for one of their bralettes, that would look perfect layered under a tank top with a low back.

On the left is the velvet For Love & Lemons bralette (linked above), and on the right is the Velvet Vixen Strappy Black Bralette available at lulus.com. For a bra that is mostly about looks and really doesn't offer a lot of support I would go for the cheaper dupe from LuLu's.
