Celebrity Looks For Less

The Breakdown

When we spot a celeb wearing apparel, footwear, or accessories with a price tag under $100, we feature their affordable fashion in “As Seen On”.

I love how Kate Bosworth paired the JewelMint (her very own jewelry line) For Keeps Bracelet with this simple navy scoop-neck dress and brown belt while shopping in LA over the weekend. I have the For Keeps Bracelet and I love it. It’s a great modern take on the friendship bracelets that are oh-so-popular right now.

MNG by Mango for JC Penney

I’m loving all the affordable fall lookbooks that have come out so far. There have been so many. It’s nice to be able to preview a collection before it hits stores so that we know exactly how to budget our fall fashion dollars.

Which fall lookbooks have been your favs so far? I really like the Lauren Conrad for Kohl’s collection, but I think the Jennifer Lopez for Kohl’s and this MNG by Mango for JC Penney have been my fav lines so far. They are both fun, a bit edgy, and a little more age appropriate for me. That leopard dress will be mine!

The Breakdown

I took a few “much needed” days off and I’m so happy to be back. I missed you all. Is there a better way to get back on track than with a Manicure Monday post and a giveaway?

I just tried Jamberry press-on nail shields for the first time and they are so fun! Aimee, an independent Jamberry consultant, reached out to offer one lucky reader the design of her choice and also sent me a set to try! I couldn’t pass up the silver and white fishnet design from their Bling collection because I’ve been looking for a highly reflective “Minx look for less” for so long.

Gucci is all about color-blocking this season and I was so excited to try the trend when I recreated Camilla Belle’s red carpet look in my Summer Style Series. I think Yakini of Style Me Prissy just took it to the next level with her “Katy Perry on the cover of Elle magazine” Gucci look for less. Wow! She looks amazing! This is a look that is bound to turn heads and it put a huge smile on my face when I saw it!

The Breakdown

We may have been covering fall fashion everyday last week, but summer’s not over just yet. In fact, I’m going to the beach with my man next weekend to celebrate our 3rd anniversary, so I thought I’d design a beach inspired manicure. The timing was perfect because Big Ruby Nails sent me a few packs of their nail tattoos, including their Sea designs, and I couldn’t wait to try them out.

Simply Vera by Vera Wang for Kohl’s

Welcome to Fall Fashion Week at The Look For Less – everyday this week I’ve been featuring affordable fall style including nail polish collections, lookbooks, and designer looks for less. I hope you’ll keep checking back.

I’m loving the Simply Vera by Vera Wang for Kohl’s collection, but what I’m most excited about is the accessories (end of slideshow). I’ve never been crazy about the handbag or footwear selection at Kohl’s, but there are several pieces in this line that I would LOVE to pick up – both pair of over-the-knee boots are rugged and amazing, the leopard Mary Jane heels would look amazing with a simple black dress, the purple handbag because I’ve been looking for a purple handbag forever, and the faux-fur lined moccasins would be so comfy around the house. I also think the corduroy leggings would be so fun for fall.

Heidi Klum shows us how to transition a spring/summer jumper into fall by adding a blazer, loafers, and a leopard crossbody bag. The yellow sunglasses add a pop of color and fun to a mostly neutral outfit.
