A bold earring can easily make an entire look come together, especially when it's Kendra Scott's unmistakeable "Elle" earrings. While I think her original designs are totally worth it (I've gotten amazing deals on her jewelry on sites like Gilt), Groopdealz has a look for less that's hard to pass up. For just $5.99, you can pick up a pair in magenta (shown above) plus another pair in black, red, teal and white! They've also got another pair that's a perfect dupe for Kendra Scott's "Skylar" earrings, too. Either way, you can't go wrong!

Splurge: Kendra Scott 'Elle' Earrings at Neiman Marcus, $52
Steal: Gem Drop Earrings, $5.99

Here's a look for less requested by an anonymous reader: BDG leather lace-up ankle boots ($89, UrbanOutfitters.com). These boots are probably just as comfortable as sneakers but make a much more stylish statement paired with your favorite jeans or tights and skirts for fall.





Here are some more affordable options I found, including one pair made of genuine leather that was originally $129.95 but is now marked down to $89.90 at Nordstrom.com, making these a great value:





1. Forever 21 Faux suede lace-up booties (also in cognac or red), $32.80
2. Boohoo.com 'Holly' Faux Suede Lace Up Flat Ankle Boot, $44 (Also in regular faux leather or brown), Use code SAVE20 for 20% off, end midnight PDT 10/26
3. H&M Boots (also in beige), $29.95
4. Sam Edelman leather 'Mare' Boots, $89.90

Here's a reader request from Twitter user @meghancmusic who was looking for a cheaper version of this Free People sweater ($108):





Here are some look for less options we found:



Tobi Cold Shoulder Top (also in taupe, black or burgundy), $62



Mango Cut Out Shoulder Sweater, $42 (also in black)



Songbird Open Shoulder Sweater, $59 (also in black or blue)

While I was getting my hair done last week at the salon, I glanced down at the feet of the girl sitting next to me and spied a glossy black pair of authentic Valentino Rockstud rain boots. It was a gray rainy day (of course it would rain the one day I'm getting a blow-out) and those boots really stood out! I started hunting for a look for less, and found a near identical dupe at Nasty Gal. Rain boots aren't just for springtime, and they don't have to be an afterthought in your closet or something that ruins an otherwise chic outfit. If you want rain boots with a stylish edge, check out these two finds:

Splurge: Valentino Rockstud Rain Boots, $425 at JILDORSHOES.COM
Steal: "Reagan" Stud Rain Boots, $65 at NASTYGAL.COM

If you're looking for a stylish storage solution, then you'll love Colonial Mills baskets. These durable braided storage bins are made in the USA and the company is based in Rhode Island. They're not cheap but I think you definitely get what you pay for in this case - I requested one for my birthday and I'm obsessed (if one can be obsessed with a storage basket?!) I now have two bins by this brand to store my tots toys and they're functional and not an eye sore in my living room (which doubles as the playroom in our small home).

Colonial Mills baskets come in a wide variety of colors and sizes. Here's one in gray that's 24 by 14-inch at AMAZON.COM for $87:





Threshold's decorative rope basket is a good look for less, but note that it's significantly smaller. This one is $19.99 at TARGET.COM:



Here's how it looks in real life:





I've also spotted Colonial Mills baskets at HomeGoods, TJ Maxx, Marshalls and GILT.COM (just search for "Colonial Mills" - I see 86 products come up!) I think this timeless style can work with a variety of decors, from classic to contemporary, in any area of your home!
