Cocktail Dress Extravaganza!

For some reason, I've been all about the party/cocktail looks lately and wanted to post some more looks for less. If you can't tell, I love Asos.

If you adore Katy Perry's tropical sequin dress, you can buy the same exact dress from Asos for $109.

Selena Gomez's “Univision Premios Juventud Awards” look for less is here! If you can't afford her Reem Acra dress, you can get a similar look from Asos for $75:

Sandra's Flood Relief Concert Look

By request of Nikki, here is Sandra Bullock's black ensemble from the June 22 Nashville Rising: A Benefit Concert for Flood Recovery for less. Sandra is a regular fashion stunner and very rarely looks less than stylish. You'll have to forgive me for not knowing the labels for the jeans and shoes (top is Robert Rodriguez). These are the closest matches I could find after a painstaking search.

Sandra with Faith Hill & Tim McGraw

Look a-likes for her top:

If you're willing to do without the white polka dot pattern and go all black (you'll be channeling Johnny Cash), this Spiegel bateau neck tunic is a good option for $14.


Michael Kors top for $69 at Zappos is another option:

Possible matches for the pants/jeans (I'm thinking hers are denim):

From WhiteHouseBlackMarket for $50
Non denim alternative from Ann Taylor for $58:


For the shoes, here is a possible pair (had trouble finding a metallic version like SB's):
Jessica Simpson 'Annetty' from Endless.com


PS: If you haven't seen "The Blind Side," go rent it now. It's made of awesome.

Zoe Saldana in RM by Roland Mouret--The Look for Less

Zoe Saldana is becoming my new fashion love. That lady always looks classy and elegant on the red carpet. I love the black RM by Roland Mouret dress she wore for "The Losers" portrait session that she paired with Louboutin cage sandals.

A more affordable alternative is the Ava dress from Stop Staring! (one of my favorite new brands) for $130.
I own two SS dresses and they rock & run true to size. Their website suggests that if you are between sizes, going a size down, but I think you would be safer going up to the next size since they are form-fitting. However, they are slightly stretchy and very comfortable. I own the 'Ashley' in dove gray and the 'Bonnie' dress and I always get positive comments. I've actually ordered the Ava in red for a fundraiser I attend every year. Mine is back-ordered so hopefully I'll get to see it first hand soon.



For the shoes, I opted for the Kelsi Dagger 'Sydney' from Bluefly. I own these and they certainly make a statement. You can do a Google search for Bfly coupon codes and probably get an extra 10% off.

Christian Louboutin--The Look for Less

Do you absolutely lurve Christian Louboutin, but can't afford to actually buy them? Here's a pair of Jessica Simpson Taneala pumps in red for $89 at ShoeBuy that look a lot like the Louboutin Bruges.

The Jessica Simpson Taneala in Chili


Here is Jessica wearing the Bruges out and about in 2006 (I guess she liked them so much, she decided to make her own affordable version).
Despite being a style that is a few years old, it's a classic and would work with almost any look. I own a pair of the JS 'Jessica' in red and love them. If the pair I own are representative of the quality of that line, I highly recommend them. They are comfy, sturdy and I get a lot of compliments on them.

Sadly, a friend of mine who is my same shoe size owns a pair of real Louboutins, but I haven't been able to con her into letting me borrow them. Sigh.

Nina Dobrev's Young Hollywood Awards Look

Nina Dobrev is one of my favorite new actresses and thought she looked adorable at the Young Hollywood Awards this spring. Her style was the epitome of a lady-like party look in a Naeem Khan dress and Valentino heels.

This 'Stroke of Midnight' dress from Mod Cloth for $54 is a good match:
For those awesome red platform heels, I recommend these:
The 'Hurricane' from Chinese Laundry on Endless.com for $57:
