Off the Rack: Chan Luu Bracelet Look-a-likes at Target

I went to Target today in hopes of finding some Temple St. Clair jewelry—which they didn't have—but I did find some cool Chan Luu inspired bead bracelets (actually there are many designers making these stackable, leather wrap bead bracelets but Chan Luu is probably the most well-known of the bunch at the moment, having recently collaborated with Banana Republic on a limited-edition line). I found an assortment of colors and styles, each for $7.99. My favorite was a dark purple silk-look chord with gold-tone beads. Best part is that the closure features an easy-to-adjust slip knot so you can customize the fit to suit your wrist. Brilliant! Browse Chan Luu bracelets below for reference.
The Look for Less: Prada Platform Loafer Heels
Prada's Platform Loafer Pumps are $795 at Barney's New York. The perfect menswear-inspired shoe for fall!
Get the look for less from Topshop. Their platform loafers are still steep at $160 but considerably less than the Prada pair.

Spot the Real: Proenza Schouler PS1 Satchel
Handbag aficionados should have no trouble spotting the Proenza Schouler PS1 satchel from the two options below (it's $1,595 at net-a-porter.com, in case you're interested). The other bag is made of humble PVC but I think it's a great option for work or school at just $36.90. Fake it til you make it, baby.

The Look for Less: Steve Madden 'Bridgett' Wedge
Steve Madden's 'Bridgett' wedge costs $129.95 at endless.com.
It was most likely inspired by the Yves Saint Laurent 'Imperiale' wedge, seen here on the Fall 2009 runways.

Alloy has the look for less with their 'Parker' suede wedge, available in taupe, forest green or black for $32.90.
