Dior's "Mise En Dior" Tribal Double-Pearl Earrings retail for approximately $400. I'm a bit late to the knock-off game on these because apparently they've been so popular that Dior raised the initial price of $290 to $400 since everyone's been scooping them up. I'd been admiring them on Jennifer Lawrence in the fall 2014 Dior ad campaigns.

And on Rihanna who wore them with an all-pink Dior ensemble - girly with an edge.

The moment I spied these Pearl 360 earrings on BAUBLEBAR.COM, I scooped them up! I will post a pic to Instagram soon. Available in a variety of colors for $28:



Shame on me, because I later stumbled upon these Apt. 9 pear-back earrings for just $7.90 at KOHLS.COM. Hopefully the Baublebar pair will be better quality although I can't say they feel super solid. I wore them for half a day so far and no skin irritation, so that's a plus!

In this weekly column, I'm sharing budget-friendly decor ideas that just look expensive! This week we're getting ready to have a chic Halloween. Visit my blog A Vintage Splendor for more ideas.

Halloween is probably my second favorite holiday – right after Thanksgiving – and I never skimp on the decorations. Regretfully, the only scary thing about most Halloween decor you find in stores is how cheesy it looks! I’m here to tell you that there is hope and share some great décor items that will let you celebrate the spookiest holiday in style – and on a budget.

A new season, a new Rag & Bone "Harrow" lookalike! While the original style has serious staying power, the $525 pricetag is prohibitive for most of us. Forever 21 comes to the rescue with a stylish look for less. Wear these distinct yet versatile ankle boots with everything from skinny jeans to skirts this fall.

Splurge: Rag & Bone "Harrow" booties, $525 at NEIMANMARCUS.COM

Steal: Wrapped Faux Suede Booties, $34.90 at FOREVER21.COM

In this weekly column, I’m bringing you my favorite budget-friendly steal that’s available online or in-stores. This week, we’re talking animal prints. Make sure to check out my blog SydneStyle.com for more affordable fashion inspiration!

One of the easiest fall trends to wear is animal prints. You can roar as loud or as softly as you like. While a spotted accessory is a stylish choice, I’m always one to encourage experimenting with something outside your comfort zone...especially when it’s only $20! Enter the Penny Chic by Shauna Miller dress from Walmart.com.

We all know how completely VITAL it is to use anti-aging products as we get older but, truth be told, they can be pretty expensive sometimes. I’m a fan of all things Sonya Dakar (she is AMAZING and so are her products) and lately I’ve been using her retinol serum, Sonya Dakar Retinu since it does pretty much everything I can ask of a skincare product - it smoothes, it targets fine lines and wrinkles and, best of all, it’s gentle…but it does cost $125. While I totally think it’s worth the fancy price tag, a great budget alternative comes from one of my drugstore favorites – Neutrogena! The Rapid Wrinkle Repair Serum does pretty much the same stuff and it actually also has a special complex, Accelerated Retinol SA, which combines retinol with some good-for-your-skin ingredients to really give it the old one-two punch.
