Nordstrom always impresses me with their ability to carry both the designer looks and the "looks for less" that shoppers want. For example, you'll find both Kate Spade's ever-popular gumdrop gemstone stud earrings and the BP brand look for less at Nordstrom.com. Both baubles come in fun colors that are perfect for spring. Take your pick of the designer earrings for $30.40 (down from $38) or the lookalike that's just $8. Can you guess which is which? Click a link below to find out!

Our spring weather keeps teasing us, but one of these days the sun will shine through, the rain will cease, and it'll be time to kick our shoes off and dig our toes into the grass! Ahh, spring. We can't wait for you to (actually) arrive, and when you do, we'll be ready to step out in style with a new pair (or two) of fresh spring sandals. And naturally we won't be paying a lot - I've rounded up 20 picks that are seriously cheap (under $35!) but don't look cheap. And isn't that the key to being a Budget Babe? Read on and see if you don't agree...
