This is one of the best replicas I've ever seen. I love you Marc, but some of us live in a permanent recession. Sorry bew.

Lose Some Weight: Color Blocking

Ok, I'm not exactly sure what brand Dawn is wearing here (Beyonce was also seen in this dress) but i'm positive it's a pretty penny. Anyway, the dress below is $58 available at Need Supply Co. I'm sure that's wayyy cheaper to fit your budget.

Hmm.. Let's see here. Same look, yet the Go Jane version is hundreds cheaper and comes in a variety of colors. Besides, you're only going to wear this dress for ONE night and ONE NIGHT ONLY...I hope.

For those of you who know me, you know that I am not religious. And for those of you who don't, now you know. But the runway is sure to have some people converting for fall. Designers such as Dolce & Gabbana, Maison Martin Margiela, Marc Jacobs, Fendi, McQueen, and of course Gareth Pugh (just to name a few) are conveying the nun look down the catwalk. But for a less dramatic approach, try this draped look below so you won't be confused for staring in one of the Sister Act movies.

*Of course the L.A.M.B. bag looks better, but if you're more playful and switch your style quite often, I'd suggest saving $200 with the BJ

Save the McQueen!

I'm excited about the McQ collection for Target. Wait, am I? Obviously McQ for Target is exciting but think about how many people are going to have one the same exact thing as you starting in March. Eh...idk. This is one to ponder on. And I'm sure there are going to be people who have no idea who Alexander McQueen is yet will just fall into the hype. Smh..

Skew it On the Bar-B


This clutch seen in the two pictures above is a fabulous clutch by Jenny Yuen. It retails for about $162. This clutch seen below is my clutch that I purchased for $10!! Yes, only $10. And it has a very strong resemblance. And no I didn't buy this because I saw it in teen Vogue. I had it a few weeks before the March issue came out. But wow, seriously, some things are way over priced. So remember ladies, it's not always about the designer or price, it's about the chicness. Lol. Now I want to go shopping. *Sigh..
