Does someone have the key to your heart? A new jewelry trend is skeleton key jewlery. 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 this style to be a unique piece of jewelry 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. 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. 

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. 

Its the middle of Prom Season! Girls, are you ready? The guys have it easy, they just have to pay for the prom tickets, dinner and rent a tux. No big deal. How hard can it be to rent a tux anyways...

The Dress:

If you haven't found that ideal dress yet check out our blog post from February. Maybe you'll find something you didn't notice earlier. This is my personal favorite – its to die for in purple and looks expensive, though it only costs $25.

The Shoes:

These shoes from Overstock have the look for less at under $40! You'll be able to find a ton of great buys there.

This beautiful cloth shoe has a pleated color ribbon that flows over a simple yet elegant black bow. I promise, this picture doesn't do the shoe any justice:
  

These formal pumps are gorgeous and perfect for prom! With 4 or 5 different colors they'll match almost any dress. The uppers are covered in rhinestones, making them glamorous and a steal!

The Jewelry

This season if you check out the celebs you'll be seeing a lot of hoop earrings. And anyone been following Kristen Stewart's style? Her red carpet appearances have all been in a strapless dress without a necklace. It makes her - and her dress pop even more.

Keep your neckline empty or simple, instead wear a pair of "wow" earrings for prom - like chandelier earrings. For prom, you want the attention to center first on your dress and THEN on your jewelry. Try Zulumoon.com, they have some great earrings (and a huge sale).

I went a bit overboard with the earrings but what can I say? I love to look. The first 3 earrings are made with Marcasite (a type of gem/crystal) set in sterling silver and each is less than $30! The next 3 are made with Cubic Zirconia, also set in sterling silver.

If you click on these earrings, it will take you to their product page.
                         

The End

Hope that helps! You've got plenty to think about when it comes to prom, this should make all that accessorizing a bit simpler.

We don't know about you, but aside from Karl Lagerfeld's Spring 2010 collection for Chanel, the last time we thought about clogs was during our time abroad in Amsterdam our junior year of college. Before that, it was when we saw the Dutch section of the "It's a Small World After All" ride at Disney World. In short, we don't exactly think of clogs as fashionable - but leave it to Karl to make them so. Lagerfeld sent these golden studded babies down his farm-themed runway for Spring 2010, and of course, there's already a look for less. We know, we know - clogs just aren't au courant - but, ma souers, that's where you're wrong. Once Karl says they're in, they're in. Hence, clogs are going to be all the rage for Spring. Get a great look for less with Jeffrey Campbell's Charli Platform Clog. JC's clogs retail for $178 at Free People, which we're betting is a fraction of the price of the real thing. 

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!

We have to admit, we've got a pair of these TOMS shoes in gold glitter, and we've worn them to death. They're the most comfortable things in the world, and we've been dying to share our obsession with the world. 

Imagine our surprise when we come across these Newbark Love Lame Leather Shoes in Gold. They retail for a staggering $350, and they're pretty much a high-priced knockoff of the TOMS version. The Newbark's are great, but there's no need to spend the money. Save it for a bag! A nicer pair of shoes - but there's no need to drop almost $400 on something you can get for $48. Truth be told, the TOMS are probably more comfortable anyway!

Vanessa Hudgens has been making the press rounds for her new movie Bandslam, and she's ensuring that she looks good doing it. Here she is in a gorgeous plum colored ruffled Plastic Island dress. You might not be able to afford or find Vanessa's actual dress, but this one from Forever21 is a pretty good match! It's got the same ruffled look at the collar, and the color is a perfect plum 10!

Jessica Simpson has wasted no time getting back in the game following her breakup with Tony Romo. She was out and about on the town with her sister Ashlee the other night sporting a shorter straight hair do and a sassy floral romper. Jessica's AKA New York version is pretty expensive, but you can snag her style with these great looks for less.

Free People Romper, $108  Ditsy Floral Romper, $88 

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?

Check out this great find from FabSugar!

Says Fab: I adore Charlotte Ronson's quaint designs. Her attention to detail is impeccable, and I love her quirky style. Take for instance this Flare Corset Dress ($367). Don't you love the bustier cut and zipper details? I do. Perfect for an upcoming evening BBQ, but my wallet's screaming no!

This Forever 21 Zip Front Party Dress ($23) is just as fun and doesn't come with a hefty price tag. The halter strap is a throwback touch and at that cheapo price, I won't have to worry about spilling beans on my new dress.
