What Would You Buy? Glam Bracelets

People StyleWatch has a fun feature in their magazine where they ask readers to ponder whether they'd rather splurge on one designer item or save on multiple budget-friendly items, so I decided to do my own version of this little fashion game!

Would you buy this Kate Spade Crystal Constellation Bracelet ($175, neimanmarcus.com)…



…or all of this?! (Total cost: $94, forever21.com)



Either way, these glam accessories are the perfect way to add shine to holiday parties. Layer them on for a personalized look. Or wear just one with a tee shirt and jeans!

Spot the Real: 3.1 Phillip Lim Leather Shorts

Phillip Lim's Leather Shorts are undoubtedly made with love, but they cost $625, also known as next month's rent. Their budget counterpart costs about 5 times less (still not cheap, but at least they're affordable if you love this look). Can you tell which is the real and which one's a deal?
