The Look for Less: Nicole Richie's Maxi Dress

by Sarah 26. February 2010 04:35

We don't know about you, but we adore Nicole Richie. The starlet has transformed herself from a trashy reality TV star to a glamorous mother of two with great values and an even greater closet. Nicole is known for her bohemian look, which, despite being copied by many a celebrity, is individual to her and her only. Richie always knows how to make an outfit her own. Case in point, the look above. Her long blue silk maxi dress is pretty, but not particularly one of a kind. However, Nicole made the look her own by winterizing it with a pair of black ankle boots and a black leather jacket from her own Winter Kate collection. Get her look for less below!

C&C California Navy Blue Maxi Dress, $128 

Forever21 Faux Leather Jacket, $32.80

Forever21 Black Crinkled Ankle Boots, $27.80

The Look for Less: Olivia Palermo Plays with Patterns

by Sarah 15. February 2010 04:40

Confession: we love Olivia Palermo. The socialite might not be the friendliest gal around, but she's got personal style up the wazoo. Case in point: her look at the Ports 1961 fashion show at New York fashion week last week. We can't quite figure out how Palermo manages to keep such a healthy head of hair when her legs are like toothpicks - but we have to admit that she knows how to dress.

We love the way she's paired an eclectic mix of patterns and textures in her outfit below - the plaid shirt with the wool shorts, fuzzy sweater, and black tights...it's a match made in fashionista heaven! Get a lower priced version of Olivia's outfit with the pieces below!

Cycle Wool Tweed Shorts, $39 

Lucky Brand Tyler Plaid Shirt, $69.50 

DKNY Marled Cardigan, $44.99 

Jessica Simpson Nolita Black Heel, $69 

Spanx Black Tight End Tights, $26

2010 Grammy Fashion (My Faves and Not So Faves)

by brooks 1. February 2010 15:59

Go to fullsize imageGo to fullsize imageI'm a big P!nk fan, so naturally, I thought she looked gorgeous at the 2010 Grammy Awards.  Her performance was breathtaking, as was her red carpet look.  You never know what you're going to get with her.  She can be beautiful and elegant, but yet hard-core and edgy.  Its the best of both worlds!

What can you say Go to fullsize imageabout Lady GaGa?  I'm a fan of her music, but not so much of her odd Go to fullsize imageclothing choices.  She was one of my not so faves as far as her fashion choices go.  Yet, people still go "gaga" for her, so I guess she's doing something right. 

 Then there's Taylor Swift.  Yes, Taylor Swift.  I can't help but like her!  Her dress was beautiful and age appropriate. Her normally long curly locks were elegantly pulled back finishing off the beautiful look.  Apparently, I'm not the only one who likes her.  She scored quite a few Grammys!Go to fullsize imageGo to fullsize image  I'd definitely say she was another one of my faves of the night.

Other of my not so faves included Kesha (who only presented), Katy Perry, and Ciara.  Other of my faves were Carrie Underwood, Adam Lambert (not a girl, but I LOVE him, so he had to be included), and Fergie.  I'm no fashion expert, but I enjoy expressing my opinion.  Agree or disagreee, there they are!

The Look for Less: Rodarte Sweater

by Sarah 25. January 2010 11:39

Rodarte is famous for their knitwear, and when the collection below hit the runway, stars and editors alike went nuts. Of course, the real thing isn't exactly affordable, so it was knocked off by Topshop, who did a pretty good job (see below). However, the Topshop version is long gone, and per usual, Forever21 has attempted (poorly) to knock it off themselves. Check out their effort here. It's not loosely knit, nor does it have the same color scheme, but it's definitely influenced by Rodarte. At only $30, it's a heck of a lot cheaper than the real thing. A quick EBay search reveals you can still find a few of the Topshop sweaters - type in "Topshop Rodarte" in the search field and they'll come up. However, if you prefer something influenced by the original and not a direct copy, the Forever21 version is for you!

The Look for Less: Anita Ko Pyramid Jewelry

by Sarah 5. August 2009 05:01

Thanks to fashion goddess Rachel Zoe, we've fallen in love with Anita Ko's stylish yet edgy pyramid jewelry pieces. Ranging from bangles to rings, necklaces to earrings, these Egyptian inspired gold and silver jewels have us dying to rock it out like Pharoah this fall. Sadly, however, at $3600/pop for a bangle and $315 for a pair of earrings, Ko's work is pretty unattainable.

Thankfully, Rachel Zoe, ever the business woman, knows her audience. She knows that not all of us can afford to spent $300 on a pair of earrings. She's provided her readers with a great look for less - click here to purchase the Ettika Pyramid Ring, which retails for only $33. Much more reasonable, no?

Sneak Peek: Miley Cyrus' Max Azria Fashion Line!

by Sarah 4. August 2009 03:23

A while back, we told you that Miley Cyrus had collaborated with designer Max Azria (yes, he of Herve Leger and BCBG fame) on a line called "Miley and Max" for Walmart. Yes, Walmart. Now, we try not to discriminate, as what we do is budget fashion - but we don't exactly look to Miley for her style choices. However, a sneak peek of the line has surfaced, and it doesn't look half bad. In fact, we'd totally wear that blue top. Sure, it looks exactly like something we've seen at Forever21, but no one expected Cyrus to be a fashionista in the making. These are clothes that are a) totally wearable and b) totally affordable. As Miley herself has said, they provide an opportunity for someone in the middle of nowhere, who perhaps doesn't have the access to or the funds to buy the high fashion looks Miley herself sports on stage and in magazines. It makes teen style accessible for those who can't afford the high price finds. Which is, of course, exactly what we do here at Budget Fashion Report. Brava, Miley! We approve.

Get the Look: Lauren Conrad's Strappy Sandals

by Sarah 3. August 2009 03:09

Lauren Conrad is a creature of habit. Over the years, she's fixated on certain trends and certain pieces in her wardrobe and worn them to death - in the best of ways. The girl has a knack for making old things look new and for incorporating pieces into her outfits again and again without it looking boring. Take, for instance, her Miu Miu beige sandals. As pictured below, Lauren's rocked her Miu Miu's on numerous occasions - each time, the shoes make the outfit. Hers retail for around $595 - a bit pricey for most of us. However, here are some other options:

If what you like about Lauren's shoes are the braided look, check out these. If you're looking to match the beige tone, these babies will do it for you.  

Happy hunting!

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.

Get the Look: Audrina's Patent Clutch

by Sarah 27. July 2009 08:52

I would never think to look to Audrina Patridge for style inspiration, but even I have to admit that the girl has really cleaned up her act ever since Lauren Conrad announced that she was leaving The Hills. Patridge, who's been hoping to steal the spotlight for some time, and who is rumored to have snagged her very own reality show, appears to be attempting some "higher fashion" looks lately. Case in point: her gorgeous patent leather Alexander McQueen clutch. The thing is beautiful! But it's also quite pricey, which is probably why Audrina wants to get lots of wear out of it. Check out her sporting it on multiple occasions below.

Like the look? Try Target's Patent Clutch, $16.99 .It's definitely not exactly the same, but it's got a similar look. Pair it with a minidress for a night out, and voila, you're Audrina-fied!

Trend Alert: Denim Leggings

by Sarah 23. July 2009 03:55

Nevermind Beyonce's super fierce, sharp shouldered Balmain blazer in the shot below - I can't stop looking at her denim leggings. They're cozy and comfy like your favorite pair of jeans, but their tight shape makes them high fashion - and they've got the added comfort factor of stretch!

Hers probably cost a pretty penny, but here are some affordable options for the rest of us:

Charlotte Russe Denim Leggings, $14.99 

Aqua Zipper Leggings, $33.60 

Alloy Stretch Jean Leggings, $9.99

MORE HERE! 

Happy Hunting!
