While I was underwhelmed when I first saw lookbook photos of the new Anna Sheffield for Target jewelry collection, I was all smiles when I finally saw the goods in person. Love when that happens! My store had a wide array of necklaces, earrings, rings and bracelets, marked by delicate chains and charms in mixed metals (aka gold and silver in the same piece, a hallmark of Sheffield). Prices ranged from $19.99 for a vintage-look bird ring to $79.99 for a 14K gold over silver "Beloved" bracelet. Nothing jaw-dropping, but certainly easy-to-wear, imaginative pieces whose good looks belie their cheap price. Have you seen the collection? What did you buy?

These Elizabeth And James Steel Suede Long Cuff Boots on Hidden Wedges retail for $395 at Shopbop.com.


Looking for the next best thing? Try these Fantum Zippered Cuff Boots by Blowfish, which go for $60 at DSW.com. They're not suede (which is rather impractical anyways) but they will give you a similar cuffed look that's super hot for fall.

You've no doubt seen this wild baboon shirt by designer Christopher Kane (or the gorilla, or the chimp, etc.) on dozens of fashion blogs, and maybe you're even dying to get your hands on one of his pieces yourself. Of course, all that fierceness comes with a steep price tag; this tee costs $310 at Net-a-Porter.




During a recent trip to H&M, I spotted this tunic top with a graphic photo-style print of an ominous landscape and I couldn't help but think it was inspired by Kane. With you, my dear reader, always on my mind, I snapped and photo so I could share this find with all you Christopher Kane fans who can't afford the real thing (and really, why pay $300 for a t-shirt?). These aren't sold online, but check your nearest H&M store like, today, if you're interested.

These beautiful oversized cuffs by Francesca Romana Diana cost $275 each at Vivre.


While the designer jewelry would make a nice investment piece, you can get the same look with a cuff bracelet from Arden B that costs just $28. Take your pick of silver/green or gold/magenta.

Add a little glamour to your everyday wardrobe with this Grey Ombre Cheetah Gauze Scarf by Yarnz, $165 at chickdowntown.com.


Make the same statement for less with Forever 21's Leopard Spot Ombre Scarf instead, just $7.80.
