Designer vs. Deal: Slightly Oversized Sunglasses

These oversized frames are the perfect summer accessory.  They are a classic shape, but the slight over-sizing makes them stand out from the crowd.  We love this tortoise shell pair by Karen Walker if you want to invest.  The Forever 21 pair are similar, but for a fraction of the price.  Take your pick!

Designer vs. Deal: Black Statement Necklaces

Black jewelry has been a growing trend in the last few months.  It's a great way to add a bit of edge to an otherwise classic or conservative look.  We've found 2 amazing black necklaces that each make a statement!  Styling tip: Wear black jewelry with a feminine lace top or dress in white to create a strong contrast.

Designer vs. Deal: Striped Pencil Skirts

Stripes have been a staple in my closet for the past few years, and I constantly find myself adding more and more pieces to my ever-expanding collection.  However, I don't have a striped skirt...yet, which means I just may have to get one!  I love both of these skirts below by The Row and Tibi!  I especially love Tibi's use of thin stripes and dark background, which will have an overall slimming effect.  However the luxurious cashmere of The Row's Remsen skirt is certainly appealing!

Designer vs. Deal: Shiny Gold Pumps

We love these Christian Louboutin gold glitter open-toe pumps.  They are the perfect shoe for any special occasion, especially New Year's!  However, if you don't have an extra $795 to spend, these Steve Maddens are virtually the same for just a fraction of the price!!

Designer vs. Deal: The Dress for Every Holiday Event!

With the holiday parties starting, it is essential to have a go to dress that can easily be accessorized according to the specific event.  We love the style of the classic yet chic and modern black dress that will carry you all the way through the holidays!  You can dress it up with glitzy jewelry, a satin bag, and feminine pumps or metallic sandals, or dress it down with flats and a classic shoulder bag for less fancy occasions.

Designer vs. Deal: Polka Dots

Polka dots have been spotted everywhere this fall!  One of my favorite polka dot pieces of the season is this Stella McCartney little black dress (left).  We've found this more affordable dress by MANGO (right) with a similar aesthetic.

Designer vs. Deal: Leopard Loafers

One of our favorite trends this fall is animal prints. In fact we are currently working on a post dedicated exclusively to animal prints, but in the meantime we couldn't resist sharing these amazing leopard print loafers with you.  We love this pair by Prada (bottom) and found a more affordable option that may be easier on your budget (top).  Either one you choose is sure to add just the right amount of attitude to any outfit.
