The Look For Less: Robert Lee Morris For Elizabeth and James Knuckle Ring
Show of hands: how many of you really badly wanted this funky Robert Lee Morris for Elizabeth and James Knuckle Ring ($195) but forced yourself to forget it due to the steep price? If you raised, then this is your lucky day, because there is an almost identical version of the ring for less than half the price. Sorry to do this to your business, MK and Ashley!
The Look For Less: Giuseppe Zanotti Stud Clutch
Here's what I love about clutches with studs: Studs are the easiest way to look tough, but since the surface area of a clutch is small, there's no overkill. Make sense? I would carry this Giuseppe Zanotti Stud Clutch ($745) but for that price?
The Look For Less: Diane von Furstenberg Nevine Dress
I have a lot of dresses, but I've yet to own a sexy zebra mini. Isn't this Diane von Furstenberg Nevine Dress ($365) ideal for warm weather partying and dancing? I like how the longer sleeves and high neckline balance out the short hemline.
The Look For Less: Lanvin Strass Necklace
I adore how ribbon necklaces look simultaneously whimsical and elegant; kind of like a fancy DIY. The dramatic nature of this Lanvin Strass Necklace ($469, originally $935) would add decadence to my wardrobe, but even at the sale price, I can't afford it. Seriously — does it really cost that much to make this necklace?
The Look For Less: J. Crew Space-Dyed Cardigan
Just when I thought I owned all the cardigans a girl could ever want, I came across this cool J. Crew Space-Dyed Cardigan ($108). The burnout design is innovative and I love the long, lean cut.
The Look For Less: Helmut Lang Long Denim Boyfriend Shorts
You probably already have denim shorts, but do you have boyfriend shorts? They don't necessarily need to be your boyfriend's shorts, but they have to be a bit baggy, long, and cuffed. These Helmut Lang Long Denim Boyfriend Shorts ($210) are the perfect color and fit, but they're way too pricey for a trend that may fade before the denim itself.
The Look For Less: Stella McCartney Mesh Sandal
OK, I've been eying this Stella McCartney Mesh Sandal ($595) for a while now, and I think it's time to take the plunge. Check out how the tubular straps and mesh insets emit a futuristic vibe — swoon. I can already picture it with a ton of outfits but that price tag is too hard to swallow, even when it's animal-cruelty-free.
Look for Less: Balmain Studded Sandals
This season everyone has fallen for Christophe Decarnin's designing charm. His rock chick pieces have influenced many, but with jeans for around £1000, not everyone can afford the real thing.
These Balmain studded and crystal sandals ($2,300) have been particularly popular despite the price tag.
The Look For Less: Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent Cree Fringe Flat Thong Sandal
If fringe had a season it would have to be Summer. I can't think of a better time for me to rock this trend with shorts, skirts, jeans, you name it. Take for instance this Twelfth St.
The Look For Less: Jenni Kayne Square Leopard Tunic
I drooled over the Fall '08 Jenni Kayne leopard tunic Nicole Richie rocked a while back but little did I know it would return for my love yet again. It's the most sophisticated leopard print I've seen and I love the combination of black and brown. But even on sale from its original price of $500, it's too pricey for me.
