The Look for Less: Madewell Denim Vest, Linen Tee & Ikat Track Pants


Easy Madewell spring look for less

For easy spring style inspiration, I'm loving many of the casual yet put-together looks by Madewell found on Nordstrom.com (which just recently started carrying this popular line). The boho-inspired look above would cost you $325 without the accessories. (You can visit this page to shop the original items.) My entire look for less is just over $100 including the chevron stud earrings and scarf! Here we come, spring.


Shop the Madewell spring look for less:
Sandals $19.90 / Pants $13.90 / Vest $40 / Scarf $9.80 (I also love this tassel scarf by Merona) / T-Shirt $9.95 / Chevron Stud Earrings $20

Spot the Real: Eva Fehren Crisscross Ring


Eva Fehren crisscross ring lookalikes: Can you spot the real one?

I've admired crisscross rings on the fingers of stylish friends for a while now, but only recently read that there's a designer version by Eva Fehren that all the celebs are wearing - and it costs thousands of dollars for genuine diamonds and precious metals. People StyleWatch found a great lookalike, but I decided to see if I could find one for less - and found 3 great options in the process! See if you can rank the rings shown above from most expensive ($4,620) to least expensive ($22.90). Click the links below to check your guesses!
