Celebrity Outfit of the Day for Le$$ - Mash Up!

Hello Fashion Followers,
Happy Monday Morning, What a good start to my week so far. A brand-spanking new post! In this post i've mixed up two-in-one. The celebrity style for LE$$ and outfit of the day. It goes like this; I show a celeb outfit, and instead of showing you pieces of clothing where to buy each piece, I'll be wearing the similar outfit already, to show you how you can achieve a similar look!


Keep in mind that I know my outfit doesn't match 100%, but I do that purposely. If there is something that I love about a celeb outfit, I always like to put my own twist into it. And remember: It's not about looking exactly the same, it's about having a similar sophisticated celebrity style. Who says us poor folk can't look like a million bucks!? lol :-)

The one difference I wanted to change was the darker jean. Since I was going to a fancy restaurant that night, I think darker jeans are really classy looking, and very slimming. Since my scarf has darker shades of brown and black, I opted for a black undershirt and tall black boots to play off the scarf. Beyonce's overall outfit can be worn more as day-wear. With a see-through scarf, and simple white tee, and playful brown boots. 

I also thought my big hoop earrings made the whole outfit. The gold tone looks great next to the red blazer and picks up on the light brown tones in the scarf as well. 

The two important pieces to achieve this look:

1. Red Blazer

+

2. The leopard Scarf

Celebrity Style for Le$$!

Hello Fashion Followers,

It's that time again for a Celeb Style for less! My absolute fav post! These posts are actually harder than they seem, but I think I managed with what I had to work with as best as I could. I am pretty happy with the outcome! 

What do you all think? I have another cute outfit by Rihanna I will post soon!

1. Charlotte Russe: Grey cowl-neck sweater -              $20.99

2. Celeb Boutique: Zig-Zag printed leggings -            $64.00

3. Zara: Leather pointed toe heels -                            $67.50

4. Forever 21: Feather drop earrings -                          $5.80

5. Zara: *Leather Chelsea boot* -                            $106.00

**I put an alternative shoe for the outfit because you can really change up this look with many ways and still have it look really good. But for the sake of the post we have to mimic the style shown. However I think a leather chelsea boot would look really good here, or even a colored heel to give a POP of color. 

Since the sweater is really low-cut you can also wear an exaggerated long necklace. If you decided to do this, you take away the dangle earrings because you don't want too much jewelry it will start to look gaudy. That might also take away from the leggings, which is the conversation/accessory piece of the entire outfit. 

With that, I hope you guys are having a fun Saturday night for me, since i'm home trying to get something done, but not accomplishing much. 

Until next time, ~Happy Shopping!

OH! And we finally have reached the month of December, this is a very exciting time for family and love! I'll be home for Christmas in about 2 weeks, and it couldn't come soon enough!

Celebrity Style for Les$!

Hello Fashion Lovers,
I am sooooo excited because I absolutely adore making 'celeb style' posts! 
Since a lot of us take our inspiration from celebrities, it is always essential to know how to find celebrity style, and pay a lot less for it!
I am definitely not able to spend a ton of money on brand names, but it is important to me to stay with the trends of today.

Now here is my style icon, KIM KARDASHIAN. Although I don't particularly like her personality, I have to admit her and her sisters know how to freaking dress!!!

This is one of my absolute FAVORITE outfits that she wore to an event! And, it is totally appropriate this winter because sequin is in! Ms. Kim is very ahead in predicting trends, that is also why she is admirable. 

To see details: Click for larger image

1. Sequin crop - Nasty Gal, Gold sequin blazer - Victoria's Secret......................$ 98.00/158.00 (little pricey)
2. Essential layer tank top - Forever 21....................................................$ 2.80
3. Aztec jewel earrings - Forever 21.......................................................$ 5.80
4. Straight leg trouser/black - ZARA.......................................................$ 47.95
5. Laminated Heel/gold shoe - ZARA........................................................$ 62.00
6. Clutch with tacs - ZARA..................................................................$ 94.00 (could def. do without it lol)

I couldn't specifically find a 'cropped' sequin jacket. But that is fine. It's not about copying 100% but making it look as similar as possible so you look stylish and sophisticated.

I actually like the earrings I have instead of the ones Kim is wearing.
Also, she is not holding any bag, so I just found a simple clutch that I thought would match and complete the 'ready to wear look.'

What do you all think? 
Like it, LOVE IT, or Hate it?

A SIDE NOTE: A lot of fashion blogs that I follow all have amazing outfits, but my complaint is most of them have really expensive things. I sort of lose my way about what I want my blog to portray. When I look at other high fashion blogs I start to think - I want it to be only about the outfits I put together and wear on a daily basis.....But then I realize that this was not the original concept I had in mind when I made my blog. Besides the fact, it would cost me a TON of money, because I would have to shop all the time to keep up with trends in order to make outfit posts.

I really enjoy magazines that give people practical tips and tricks in finding their own style. I think having a blog about fun fashion things is more gratifying. I am not taking anything away from all the other amazing blogs I follow, but I feel some get way too serious, and it gives off a message of snobbishness...Unless, that is the idea they were going for with their blog...Oh well, who knows?

For now, I am staying true to my character and I am going to try hard to continue this blog with a fun outlook into fashion!

Until Next Time, ~HAPPY SHOPPING

Hey you fashion followers. This type of post is probably going to be one of my favorites to do. It's where I take a celebrity outfit or a certain style of a celebrity and then compare it with fabulous finds that look similar to the original.

It's always great to look like a fortune, without spending a fortune. :-)

The Celebrity Inspiration.

A similar look for less.
