Hot Trend: Skeleton Key Jewelry

by Kylie 23. July 2010 04:42

Are you searching for an accessory that will unlock your style? A new jewelry trend is skeleton key jewlery, and if you are doing your back to school shopping, these key pendents are a must have for the fall. Trendsetters and young celebrites have found key jewelry to be a unique piece that can be worn as a charm, necklace or even earrings. Celebrities like Leighton Meester, Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift are wearing similar key necklaces but probably paid hundreds for a style that is simple to recreate.

The fleur-de-lis pendent, gothic designs or more traditional key designs are also a common trait found in one or more of the pieces.The inspiration behind the key jewelry is thought to have been started by the famous, Tiffany and Co. but here at the Budget Fashion Report, we are always seeking out ways to get celebrity style on a budget. One option is to actually find old keys and turn them into necklaces. Searching antique shops or even stores like Anthropologie, you may stumble across a unique looking key. Another way to achieve the same look as these celeberites is to opt for sterling silver and CZ key pendents. Going this route will still give you the great look but without the high cost.

 

The leighton Meester look:

Leighton is wearinga classic skeleton key design. The skeleton key design is characterized with the three loops at the top of the key. A comparable and more reasonably priced pendent would be something like this.

 

 

the Selena Gomez look:

Selena is wearing what I would classify is a more gothic design key.  This piece is a little more intricate compared to the previous pendent. Something similar to this design would be something like this charm here. The design has a fleur-de-lis in the handle and gives you that intricate patterned look. Reinvent this look with a shorter chain. 

 

 

the Taylor Swift look:

 Taylor is wearing a pendent that looks more like a real key than the two previous. I would recommend trying to find an actual old antique key but if you can't, a piece that is similar to this would be this key design. Recreate this look with a silver chain and loop the key onto the chain.

Celebrity Style on a Budget

by Kylie 14. June 2010 07:35

 

If you watch celebs walk down the red carpet they are typically dripping in jewelry. Sparkling diamonds and ulta-blinged out accessories are the norm when it comes to celebrity red carpet fashion. You can accomplish the same looks at a fraction of the price if you know where to look. Instead of spending thousands on diamonds you can get the same look with CZ (Cubic Zirconia) for a lot less and still have that sparkle. Some popular looks are chandelier, drop and dangle silver earrings. A really popular trend is light colored metals like silver, white gold and platinum. Celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Carrie Underwood and Penelope Cruz all favor the drop silver earrings. All of these celebs are wearing earrings covered in diamonds but a less expensive alternative is to look into wearing CZ, especially for a glamourous event like a Prom, black-tie dinner, formal ball, etc. Not only will the earrings look great and sparkle like a real diamond, you'll feel like a glamourous movie- star without dropping some serious scrilla.

Here are three styles of celebrity silver earrings that are very close to what the celebrities are wearing and will give you a similar look when you are on a budget.

 The first style is a CZ Chandelier similar to what Kim Kardashian is wearing.

 Tear drop CZ earrings.

 

This next style is similar to what Carrie Underwood is wearing.

 Drop CZ Earrings

Last we have a style that is similar to what Penelope Cruz is wearing.

 Cubic Zirconia Chandelier Earrings.

Celebrity Bargain Hunting: Reese Witherspoon's Casual Cool

by Sarah 24. February 2010 08:11

 

Don't you just love when celebs wear something that's actually priced within your budget? Reese Witherspoon was spotted grabbing lunch with a friend in Los Angeles yesterday sporting this Urban Outfitters striped sweater. It's a celebrity fave; it's also been spotted on Ashley Tisdale. Best of all, it retails for only $48! Scoop yours up before they're all gone!

Celebrity Bargain Hunting: Heidi Klum's $100 skirt!

by Sarah 3. August 2009 03:01

Even celebs love a deal - and we love it when they find one. It makes us normal folk feel as though famous people are just like us (even though we know this isn't the truth). Check out Heidi Klum's outfit below - can you guess what piece in the outfit is under $100? Our first guess was the top, then the shoes.

 

Wrong! It looks like Heidi's bargain hunting skills dug up this adorable Pleasure Doing Business striped miniskirt. We've GOT to get our hands on this piece. You can get Heidi's skirt (also seen on Ashley Tisdale and Rihanna) here.

Celebrity Bargain Hunting: Kim Kardashian's Sharp Shouldered Dress

by Sarah 21. July 2009 05:34

When People's Style Section asked me which piece of Kim Kardashian's ensemble (pictured below) retailed for under $100, my eyes went straight to the black clutch. Small, satin - I figured it was a Forever21 knockoff. 

Boy, was I wrong! It's Kim's dress that's under $100 - $76, exactly. It's from Topshop, and though it's no longer available online, you may be able to find it in stores. If you live in NYC, head to the US flagship of the retail store - it's probably still on shelves!

Celebrity Bargain Hunting: Urban Outfitters Ecote Silk Top

by Sarah 30. June 2009 08:59

I ADORE Lauren Conrad's look here. She's classy but still casual, pictured while promoting her new book, L.A. Candy at a Barnes and Noble in NYC. You'd be surprised to know that her shirt cost a total of $54.99, and is now on sale at Urban Outfitters for $39.99. Go out and grab that 'ish before it sells out! I like the way the model wears it with her torn jean shorts, but I'm also loving how Lauren classed it up by tucking it into her silky shorts. 

If you're into the silk shorts trend, check out our previous post. I would have worn some colorful heels to jazz up Lauren's ensemble, but otherwise, I really love her look. Snag your UO top here.

Celebrity Bargain Hunting: Ashley Tisdale

by Sarah 9. June 2009 06:36

Ever since High School Musical 3 left theaters, Disney princess Ashley Tisdale, 23, has attempted to shed her good girl image for a darker and dirtier look. No, really. She dyed her signature blonde wavy locks a dark brown color and straightened them, and started piling on the dark eye makeup.

Good thing she's still the Ashley I know and love when it comes to her cool but casual style. She's no fashion plate, but Ashley knows how to put together a good outfit, and how to score a bargain. Take the outfit below. Ashley's wearing Steven Alan's Lark and Wolff line, which sells exclusively at Urban Outfitters. That sweater? It's adorable, and you can get the exact piece for $68 - a style steal!

Sadly, most of us probably can't afford her Givenchy Nightingale handbag -- but wow, is that a covetable piece or what?
