Whitney Port in Oliver Peoples

Lauren — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 21:16:48 +0000

Whitney Port

Whitney Port looks way relaxed while filming a beach scene…is this really what her “job” entails?! (Lucky girl!) We really like Whitney’s tiny two-piece, but we especially love her oversized Oliver Peoples Skyla frames. These shades flatter her face just perfectly. They’re oversized and versatile - perfect for a day at the beach or just driving to work. We couldn’t find her shades in white, but we really like this bronze color, too. For $390, they can be yours! Or else check out these Forever 21 versions instead. Being a smart shopper really pays off! These sunglasses are just as cute, but leave you some extra cash for more important things.

Rihanna With Another Alexander Wang Bag

Lauren — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 21:12:50 +0000

Rihanna carries an Alexander Wang

If you’re looking for an investment piece, this is the post for you! Rihanna was seen at 5:30 am leaving a recording studio, and we’re pretty impressed she looked this good so early in the morning! This fashionable singer was spotted carrying an Alexander Wang Jess Small Shopper, which features a medium size and slashed leather for a worn-in look. It’s a great carry-all for any girl because it instantly glamorizes any outfit. You won’t have to worry about it matching or clashing - this luxury bag is sophisticated and versatile! But if you don’t want to drop $900, we understand. We found another item you may enjoy. This Steve Madden Wanderlust Hobo is still a bit pricey, but we definitely think it’s worth it. This hobo bag will last a lifetime, and it’s one of those items whose trend-factor never expires.

Blake Lively Carries Treesje Jovi Bag

Lauren — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 13:57:47 +0000

Blake Lively

I can’t decide what’s more fun - watching Gossip Girls or stalking what the actresses have been wearing on set! Here, Blake Lively is carrying a Treesje Jovi Cross-Body bag in turquoise. This studded cross-body bag, which runs about $368, is super cute and definitely one of a kind. (Which explains why I had a really hard time finding a “your wallet” version!) BUT if you’re looking for funky, I think you’ll enjoy this Dome Satchel from Bakers. It’s only $70, and definitely adds some bling to your outfit. Or if you’re looking for a bag shaped similar to Blake’s but with a lot less punk, check out Marc Jacob’s Percy Cross Body from Neiman Marcus. The color and shape are right on, but there’s no studs!

Katherine Heigl’s Watch Necklace in The Ugly Truth

admin — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 16:40:52 +0000

Have you seen the new comedy, The Ugly Truth? If you have, you’re sure to have noticed Katherine Heigl’s pocket watch necklace in between laughs! Her gorgeous wristware-gone-neckware is reminiscent of your grandfather’s pocket watch, giving off the perfect combination of vintage/chic vibes. The best part about Katherine’s accessory is that it’s one of those rare fashion items that’s actually practical AND adorable! It’s an untraditional way to wear a very traditional, old-fashioned item. This lengthy necklace is for sure a statement piece and guaranteed to grab others’ attention. And as Katherine shows us throughout her hilarious film, it can be worn with several different outfits! This piece is classic, beautiful, and timeless (haha, corny - sorry). We’re not sure who the designer is, but we have a feeling it may be Urban Outfitter’s Grandpa’s Pocket Watch Necklace. Even if it’s not, why not pick it up for under $30 for a similar, trendy look?

Jennifer Aniston in James Perse Tank Dress

Lauren — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 19:15:53 +0000

Jennifer Aniston

Even in a simple tank dress, Jen looks flawless! We really like her white James Perse Ruched Racer Back Dress. It’s perfect for staying cool in the humid summer heat, and the white color is like a blank canvas - you can change up the accessories (throw on a belt?) and it will look like an entirely different outfit! However, Jen’s dress is $145 which really isn’t worth it for a dress this simple! So check out this Fine Jersey Racerback Tank Dress from American Apparel. It’s a little shorter than Jen’s, which is nice because hers hits at kind of an awkward place. It’s also only $32, which you really can’t beat for a high-quality brand and a really versatile item!

Megan Fox And Her Lola Tote

Lauren — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 16:31:33 +0000

Megan Fox

Actress Megan Fox was seen leaving a hair salon after spending 2 hours with hairstylist to the stars, Ken Paves. As usual, Megan was sporting her gold rimmed Ray Ban aviators and chic hat. But check out that purse on her arm! We know it’s just a simple tote - but it’s one of our absolute favorites! Her Linea Pelle Large Lola Tote is the newest silhouette from the Linea Pelle collection, with soft, Italian leather and brass hardware. Her beautiful bag is roomy enough to throw everything in. (And it has zebra lining inside - so cute!) Her heavenly handbag is on sale now for $355. If you want to spend less on a similar look, check out Forever 21’s Faux Leather and Canvas Tote. It offers the same roominess and gold details as the designer brand, but won’t cost you nearly as much!

Leighton Meester Is Pretty In Yellow!

Lauren — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 14:09:33 +0000

We love all the Gossip Girls, but Leighton sure has a great sense of style on this popular TV show! Here, she was seen filming in this gorgeous Tibi Silk Beaded Dress. The pop of color is absolutely brilliant against a black, detailed waist. This dress is truly one of a kind and looks wonderful on Leighton! You can get the exact same one for just under $600 if you’re able to spare some cash! But if not, try on this Yellow is Gold Silk T-shirt Dress from Urban Outfitters. You’ll need to find a beaded belt to throw on with it, but hey - it’s still a lot less cheap than the designer version! And we think it’ll still look just as trendy.

Tori Spelling in Gypsy 05 Love Tank

Lauren — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 19:35:57 +0000

We really like Tori’s casual style! No matter what, she always looks comfortable and put together. Her Gypsy 05 Love Tank Top is no exception! This oversized tank is a little retro and a little feminine, and definitely looks like something the rest of us would wear! It’s easy to throw on and has some seriously cool colors in it! Her $79 tank also comes in other colors, and Miley Cyrus is among the many celebs who have a few in their closets. If you want something similar but don’t want to drop that much dough on a tank, Forever 21’s H81 Retro Love Tank is almost exactly the same thing for only $11. Don’t pass this up!

Rihanna In Mixed Deadly Pearls Necklace

Lauren — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 16:30:54 +0000

Rihanna always has the most unique accessories, and this one-of-a-kind multi-strand pearl necklace is no exception. Her beautiful necklace, made from crystals, pearls, metallic and steel chains, and braided leather, is the perfect combination of feminine meets rockstar. This is definitely a statement piece, so Rihanna has the right idea by pairing it with a simple tee and blazer. But beauty comes with a pricetag! Her Fallon Mixed Deadly Pearls Necklace is about $200 at Singer 22. We found another way to achieve this celeb look. (We’re going to combine 2 different items here, so pay attention!) Layer the Chocolate & Caramel Faux-Pearl Twisted Necklace from Kohls with the Double Pearl Necklace from Charlotte Russe. All together, this ultra-chic combo of neckware will cost you about $28. It’s the perfect knock-off, and each piece looks great separately, too! What a bonus!

Kim Kardashian Sports Spiked Necklace

Lauren — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 18:39:56 +0000

What screams rock ‘n roll better than a silver spiked necklace? Kim Kardashian sported some metal around her neck at OP’s “OPen Campus” Fall Ad Campaign held at Mel’s Drive -In in Hollywood this summer. Her sterling silver hardware contrasts nicely with her feminine dress and boxy men’s vest. Wanna add a little punk to your look, too? Chunky, layered necklaces like this are the perfect accessory for the season. Her Ben Amun Silver Spikey 2 Row Adjustable Length Necklace will set you back $175. If that’s not a price you’re willing to pay, we also love this ASOS Spike Necklace. It’s only $26, but will have you looking like a million bucks! Chances are this will sell out quickly, so shop now while you have the chance!

Kristin Cavallari in Affordable American Apparel Dress!

Lauren — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 12:30:12 +0000

Isn’t it great when celebrities wear brands the rest of us can afford?! It makes our lives so much easier! Kristin Cavallari was seen in LA wearing a short and sweet dress from American Apparel, and we’re dying to steal her look. She paired her Sleeveless Tri-Blend Pleated Pocket Dress with black Ray Ban Wayfarers and an Alexander Wang Coco Duffel Bag. Her bag and shades may be pricey, but her dress it only $38! It’s hard to find something cheaper than that, but if you want another option, Old Navy has a similar Linen-Blend Shift Dress for $25. Throw on a skinny belt, some summer sandals and some cheap wayfarer sunglasses for a simple and sophisticated look.

Eva Longoria Carries a Valentino Petale Satchel

Lauren — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 18:30:10 +0000

Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria snuck away from a lunch date with friends in West Hollywood and ran away to her Lexus SUV carrying an adorable bag! Her Valentino Petale Satchel is simply perfect for any stylish, busy woman. We love the simplicity and beauty of this trendy carry-all, but we’re not so hot for the price. Her bag comes with a price tag of $2,494. Even though we’re crazy for her look, it’d be even crazier to spend this much money on a bag! If you want a similar look, the Brecken Flower Bag from Handbag Heaven is only $40, and a really great alternative to the designer brand. It comes in 3 different colors, so you can choose either neutrals or bright pops of color!

Ashley Tisdale’s Studded Gucci Frames

Lauren — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 12:30:46 +0000

Ashley Tisdale and boyfriend Scott Speer shared some time in Hawaii this summer, and the sun was shining bright! What better way to block the rays than with these Gucci GG 3039 Sunglasses? These shades caught our eye because they’re chunky and studded on the side, which give this star’s beachwear ensemble a a little something special. Rhinestone glasses are in this season, but don’t go overboard! Pair your glammed-up frames with simple suits and cover-ups, so that when the sun hits you, just your face sparkles! If you don’t want to dish out $317 for these Gucci glasses, check out these Rhinestone Style 9974 shades from SunglassWarehouse. They’re only $16, so you won’t feel guilty if they get covered in sand and salty water!

Vanessa Minnillo With Rebecca Minkoff Nikki Bag

Lauren — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 18:30:19 +0000

Vanessa Minnillo looks beauitful in this Alice + Olivia Teal Jade Long Criss Cross Dress and oversized shades. (Turquoise is her color, don’t you think?) We also love that handbag! Large, brown bags go with anything and are perfect for carrying around all you need for long days. Her Rebecca Minkoff Nikki Bag is simple, durable, and of course, stylish! If you want her Nikki bag, you’ll be paying $595. This Jessica Simpson Tempest Hobo is only $105 and can probably do the trick, too. Just look for slouchy, neutral bags to pair with those bright summer dresses for an easy celeb-inspired look.

Rachel Bilson’s Jimmy Choo Bag

Lauren — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 12:30:22 +0000

Rachel Bilson was caught strolling through Beverly Hills chatting on her cell in this street savvy outfit. We hope she’s telling whoever’s at the other end about her trendy new bag! We love that Jimmy Choo on her right arm. Her luxurious Sky bag is made of soft leather and snake skin - two pricey materials! (And our favorite part is the bracelet detail on the strap!) Her bag retails for about $1,395. Yikes! But Handbag Heaven has the perfect Jimmy Choo inspired bag for cash-conscious women. This Eden Bracelet Hobo comes in white and purple and is extremely similar to the designer bag, all for 40 bucks. Now that’s a good deal!
