Oldie but goodie.
I’ve been in love with the Kamille Dress since I first saw it on the runway.
And lucky me, as I was browsing for a party dress today, I found its twin on Modcloth:)
While the BCBG one costs $320 (after sale *sigh*), the one from Modcloth is only $90.99
So get hands on it girls before it’s sold out!
Some yummy-looking clutches<3
I know there were tons of different opinions when the first ads of Prada SS 2012 came out, featuring some pretty awesome race car illustrations. Some said it was unconventional, some said it was the new urban chic.
Well, I say car-print is a summer must-have. But it’s universally agreed that not everyone can afford Prada, so I’m happy to present to you some alternatives:
The above 2 are from Sarah’s bag, a relatively new and quirky,fun brand.
You can purchase them here and here for $110.
ENJOY YOUR SUMMER:)
I just saw the very first trailer for The Great Gatsby this morning and I must say the costume department is doing a MARVELLOUS job.
To kick up the hype for this highly-anticipated movie, I present to you the Alike For Less-The Great Gatsby edition.
Channeling this gold fringe dress from Gucci SS 2012 is every girl’s dream, but how many can actually afford it? (Not everyone is J-Lo)
(She’s goddess on the runway)
So as a substitution, I found this amazing dress from River Island for £100.00
HAVE FUN. FLAPPER OUT:)
Anthropologie, just the name makes me want to be a better person. Anyway, in this edition of Alike For Less, I’ll point put some of my fav pieces from the brand and compare them to the already famous designer’s pieces. I know Anthropologie isn’t as affordable as Zara or our beloved H&M but these days, everything is cheaper than real Gucci bag:)
Let’s start
Gosh, those are totally Balenciaga ages ago!
These are absolutely my favorite. The color is just so art-sy.
Dries Van Noten last year? Anyone???
Just the name would actually implant in your mind the idea of Valentino. And you’re not wrong at all
These are only about $100, which is quite a great catch considering its always-trendy-turquoise and black color and the details are just a bit Miu Miu Spring Summer don’t you think…
Almost forgot, I was soooo carried away by the shoes that I almost forgot this “coat of wonder”
Everything about this coat screams Chanel all over it. But it looks good though, not shabby at all I say.
Tata for now, be pretty and always trendy this season.
It’s me, once again wandering the wonderful world of Internet. If I get paid for every hour I spend online, I would have been a millionaire by now *sigh*. Anyway, it’s another edition of ALIKE FOR LESS where I show you that you can spend just a fraction of a price but still look as good.

Browsing through the never-ending e-stores, I suddenly spotted something on FCUK that I can’t help but refer these designs to Miu Miu Fall RTW 2011 collection. Take a look yourself and decide,
SWALLOW SWOOP WATERFALL JACKET ($158)
These are the Miu Miu originals as in the campaign and on Jane Aldridge of seaofshoes
BERRIE JERSEY FRILL SLEEVE ($128)
on The Runway.
Both have the same retro, feminine look and same color palette.
lAST BUT NOT LEAST, MY FAVORITE MIU MIU HEELS WAS ALSO COPIED.
BAILEY GLITTER SANDAL ($230)
Nice work fcuk, nice work.
These are CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN Clou Noeud 150 studded slingbacks
$1195 on Net-a-porter (funny how life is, you can spend over a thousand dollars for a pair of shoes when there are millions of people who are starving in the third world countries). Anyway, let’s get back, these look fabulous and definitely a stamp in any celebrity’s wardrobe
Next up, Christian Louboutin Very Prive 120 Studded Peep Toe Pumps
Thankfully, I found this website http://www.luxuryilove.com and these are available for only $169.88
But this price tag is nothing compared to these Boutique 9 Daraye heels
Now $102 on Ninewest.com
Went through Tiffany website today, I spotted this great ring which is under $300 (actually it’s only $250).
FABULOUS!
Another version of it is in 18k gold, which is a bit more expensive (and by a bit, I mean $575)
Well, you can save a lot more by buying these “Forget Me Knot Ring”
Both of them are $58 on fredflare.com
Beautiful 60s-inspired Burberry trench coat seen in Tatler August 2011
On runway:
Here is ASOS ’60s Mac With Contrast Trim, NOW FROM £30.00
Inspired by the “sailor theme” of Dior RTW 2011 show, I present to you the ultimate summer bag from Lilly Pulitzer which is a MUST HAVE for this summer
Available on http://www.lillypulitzer.com for $98
Scarlett Johansson @ the MTV Movie Awards 2010
I know this is kinda old but that figure + the Dolce dress is mesmerizing. Simple but yet classy
Issa lace dress ($915). Pricey but definitely not as much as a Dolce.
You can always get a runway look with much reasonable price. This time I found a maxi dress resembles Marc Jacobs’
Runway look from Marc Jacobs SS 2011 ($628)
Urban Outfitters, $49
This is almost the perfect copy:)
