Look for Less: Jessica Alba in Diane von Furstenberg

Jessica Alba, forever a DvF girl, wore this nude dress to the designer's 3rd Annual Awards last Friday. The long sleeved sequin number is from Diane von Furstenberg's Fall 2012 collection, for the occasion Jessica paired it with opaque tights and black Louboutins. I could do without the tights and black shoes but the dress I actually think is both adorable and sexy.

You can get the look with this nude 3/4 sleeve TFNC Sequin Dress from Asos for under $100:

Perfect for so many occasions. Just as good as the little black dress if you ask me.

Yours,

A.

Look for Less: Louis Vuitton Metal-Capped Pumps

Every version of these Louis Vuitton metal toe capped pumps have been seen on everyone from Natalia Vodianova, Kristen Stewart, to fashion 'It Girl' Alexa Chung and I can definitely understand why. I particularly like this Fairytale pump:

But with a US$1060 price tag can I just say - OUCH. Realistically speaking though that is deemed affordable based on the prices upwards of $3,000 that I've seen attached to shoes. Coveting the look, I went off in search of similar (read: regular-not-rich-people affordable) alternatives for budget fashionistas like myself.

First we have an almost precisely duplicated Stuart Weitzman version, Capsize, coming in at US$375 (still high):

Also we have the Topshop strapless version with a rose gold metal cap in lieu of the silver, the GABBY Metal Toecap Points, at US$100 (bless their hearts):

Worth it right? Oh yeah.

Yours,

A.
