If you're going to the prom or a spring wedding, you're going to need some serious bling—but chances are, you don't have the serious cash to pay for it. Luckily, today's fashion forward ladies have plenty of affordable options to choose from.

If you like to take your fashion cues from the red carpet, you're going to fall in love with Emitations.com. Their specialty is bringing you celebrity jewelry that looks just like what your favorite stars are seen shining in, at a fraction of the price of course. Silver and cubic zirconia take the place of platinum and diamonds, but who will know it except you?

Academy Award winner for Best Actress, Helen Miren, looked regal at the 79th Annual Oscars draped in diamonds on loan from jeweler Chopler. Emitation.com's Neva's CZ Diamond Cluster Earrings are reminiscent of the ones she wore so you can feel like a queen, too. $49.99

This handmade Katherine Necklace featuring faux pearls and a vintage rhinestone pendant from Cuttlefishjewelry.com is the perfect accompaniment to your favorite little black dress...or pink dress...or yellow...you get the picture. $50

If you're willing to splurge a tad more, try Maya's CZ Pave Layered Ring from Emitations.com, a veritable bouquet of diamond-like brilliance that doubles as a door knocker (just kidding!). Reminds us of the iconic Chanel Chamelia. $119.95

Warm weather has yet to arrive, but you can still turn up the heat with brightly colored lips—and if that suggestion has you running for cover, remember that with today's options, there's sure to be a shade and formula that's right for you. Honest.

Beyonce is seen here rocking fierce fuchsia. Sure, she can rock just about any look, but this is something you can pull off, too. Just downplay your eyes and accessories, and let your lips sparkle on their own. If you're shy, do a practice run at home first so you can get used to the look before taking it out on the town. No joke!

We've been big fans of Kate Moss for as long as we can remember. For better or for worse, she appeared on our fashion radar screens around the same time we were entering that wonderful and frightening stage of life called puberty. Her darling, familiar face has been with us ever since. Can you even imagine going through an issue of W without seeing Kate at least once?

So we're curious to see what her line for the UK's Topshop will look like—and now we can, with their recently unveiled viewbook of Kate's duds. Plus, her line of rock-boho-chic looks will also be available at Barneys New York starting on May 8th. http://www.katemosstopshop.com/

Don't act so surprised. Last night, we were super psyched to see the bootylicious Jennifer Lopez as the guest mentor on American Idol!! Hadn't seen her in a while (haven't used the word "bootylicious" in quite some time, either), but apparently she's been busy topping the Latin music charts, and looking sexy as ever.

Tonight, J.Lo gave us a smokin' hot performance that had us up off the couch, singing and shaking our groove thangs right along with her! Say it loud, say it proud--we love you, J.Lo!!

Amidst the Jenny-from-the-block excitement, we surfed on over to americanidol.com and discovered for the first time that they have an entire section on Idol style. This might be old news to some, but in all honesty, we're kind of proud that we didn't know about it until now.

We had a good time in the Fashion Idol department where you can browse pics of all the singers and rate their looks.

In Get the Look, you can find suggestions for clothes, shoes and accessories that will help you look like your fave idols. Their recommendations are hit-or-miss—some items looked nothing like the original, others were identical or even preferable to what the singers wore.

Unfortunately, we still can't find a photo of Stephanie Edwards wearing a certain red and ivory satin halter which we happen to know came from Forever21 because we had it first! And don't you just love it when you see something you own being worn on TV?? Hey, gotta get your kicks somehow.

And ::yawn:: this is where we lost interest.

P.S. We're purposefully avoiding any mention of J.Lo's ventures in fashion design. Do as she dresses, not as she "designs."

Designer Diane Von Furstenberg's studio filed a copyright-infringement lawsuit just weeks ago against Forever 21, claiming their $32 "Sabrina" dress is practically an exact copy—from the pattern right down to the measurements—of her $325 "Cerisier" dress.

We actually tried on the Forever21 version a couple weeks ago and well, it's hard to argue. They look pretty much identical, and both are even 100% silk.

So needless to say, we're shooting ourselves in the foot right about now for not buying the knock-off. Sure, it's wrong, but it's also one super cute, super cheap frock!

We immediately thought of checking Ebay, and spotted a dress (above) that looked like the Forever21 version, but claimed to be an original in the item description. Starting bid: $225. At that price, it better be the real thing, but who's to say that some unsuspecting buyer might be getting ripped off with a faux? All's we can say is shop smart and do your research if you're worried about getting taken for a ride.

This may be the first lawsuit we've heard about against Forever21, but it's not the first time we've spotted a copycat design. Check out this Anna Sui Rose-Print Voile Dress, $541 at neimanmarcus.com (left) and this Maven Top for $17.80 that we saw at Forever21.com and in stores on the right. It's one thing to draw inspiration from another designer, but this takes the cake. Still, we're torn...it's cute, cheap and reminds us of one of our favorite expensive designers. What's a girl to do? More on this later.............
