J Crew Cotton Ruffle Tank

This ruffled sleeveless shirt from J Crew retails for $69.50 and also comes in navy, stone, mushroom, and papaya.


This version from Ann Taylor Loft isn't going to save you a ton, but it will save you $23. Or maybe the twenty dollar difference doesn't matter and you just want a dressier version of the same top?

I was unable to find the exact retail price of this specific dress, but dresses from Black Halo tend to run about $300+. (Photo credit: Google Search)


If you like the style of the Black Halo version above, but aren't able to locate it online (or just don't have the budget for it)...this version from Charlotte Russe is a good alternative. It retails for a much lower $26.99 and although the colors are different, the detailing on the bodice is similar. Click on the photo below if you're interested in purchasing.

Inspired by...Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent

These sandals by Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent retail for $230 at Pink Mascara.


When I saw these sandals in a recent Urban Outfitters catalog, I was immediately reminded of the Cynthia Vincent version. They don't have the buckles on the straps and the back is different, but I thought the the zipper detail made them a great inspired by find. They retail for $38 and come in green (pictured) and black. Click on the photo below to purchase.

Juicy Couture Beach Ruffle Bikini

The hilarious (and always stylish) Chloe over at The Chloe Conspiracy blog recently purchased the teal version of this look for less, so thanks to her for this great find!

This adorable Juicy Couture bikini retails for $177 at Nordstrom ($83 for the top & $94 for the bottoms).


This version by Elle at Kohl's DOES vary from the Juicy version in that the top has a bow instead of a plastic rectangle in the middle (is it just me or is the bow cuter?), but other than that I think it's a great option for just over $137 LESS. Each piece is on sale for $19.99 (making it a total of $39.98 - great deal considering each piece was $40 originally) and it also comes in coral or teal. Click on the photos below to purchase!
