Inspired by...Alexander Wang (Reader Request)

A reader wrote in asking for a less expensive option for these Alexander Wang Ranya oxfords which retail for $446 at Oak.


After searching, I found these oxfords that reminded me a little of the A. Wang shoes above. Yes, they have their differences, which is why I am posting them as an inspired by option. If you're interested, they retail for $110 and you can click below to visit the Topshop site.

Congrats on your win! Please email me at lookforless@gmail.com as soon as possible with your address and I will forward it onto Michelle at Mimi Boutique so she can send out your bag!

As always, thank you so much to everyone who entered - I loved reading everyone's fashion faux pas stories and could definitely relate to more than one of them! Ah, to be a child of the 80's/early 90's. Good times.

Runway Look 4 Less: Burberry Prorsum

I'm assuming you all watch The Rachel Zoe Project, or at the very least get her newsletter, and if not...you may have missed out on the shearling and military goodness that is Burberry Prorsum's fall RTW collection. A real budget buster, the jacket featured below retails for a whopping $3595.


I took inspiration from the Burberry runway look above to come up with the following more affordable ensemble. To start, you'll need a shearling jacket like this version from Fred Flare for $64. Click on the photo below if you're interested in purchasing.


For the dress, I wasn't able to find a dress exactly like the Burberry one featured, but I think this option from Max Studio (on sale for $98) is a good substitute.


And finally, some over the top thigh high boots to complete the look...this pair retails for $57.95 and you can click on the photo to purchase or for more info.
