I'm going to 4 weddings this year, and I'm desperate to wear a bandage dress. I'm in college and cannot afford a Herve Leger dress but LOVE the look. Is there anywhere where I can find it for cheap? Or at least the style of the fit being that tight, but not in the trashy way. —Andrea

Here are six cute cheap dresses inspired by Herve Leger that won't break the bank. Click any image for shopping details!

The hunt for a stacked crystal ball lamp ended today! I finally found one at Target (recommended by some readers) and I loved it. It's not as luxe as the Pottery Barn one, and I never did see the one at JCPenney, but for $35.99, I think it's exactly what my desk needed! It's the perfect size and I love how the balls go from big to small. In the store I was afraid it looked too plastic-y, but at home, it looks fantastic! Thanks again to everyone for sharing your feedback. Depending on what you're looking for, I think both Target and JCPenney offer great versions of this classic style lamp that will add a chic touch to your home.
