The shoes I seem to spot most often on the tiny feet of stylish babies and tots are suede moccasins. Freshly Picked makes them in all sorts of adorable colors, like this light tan that's perfect for fall. Available in real suede for babies, walkers and toddlers, these adorable shoes cost $60 at Nordstrom.com. A great look for less is the Minnetonka moccasin bootie, made from genuine suede for $21.95. And if you want the look for even less, we found a similar style for just $11 in faux suede. See if you can spot the real from the steal by clicking a link below!

With New York fashion week coming up, I thought now might be a good time to experiment with a designer bag rental (more on that to come), so I hopped on over to Bag, Borrow or Steal (bagborroworsteal.com) and was immediately sidetracked by their amazing Labor Day sale. (Laser focus, over here.) Today only you can save big on pre-loved designer bags from brands like Chanel, Dior, Fendi, Celine, 3.1 Phillip Lim and more. You can borrow a bag at up to 50% off, or buy a bag at up to 60% off plus an extra 20% off all buys with code LABORDAY20. Since even a Celine bag on sale is still too much for this budget-babe, I rounded up four of my favorite bags under $200 above from brands like Rebecca Minkoff and Coach. In hues like gray and burgundy these are perfect for fall, and you'll feel proud carrying them knowing you saved some serious cash!

Happy Labor Day weekend, everyone! We thought it fitting to show a simple yet chic look that showcases our nation's patriotic palette on this holiday, and Reeese Witherspoon was the gal to do it. In her polka dot top, slim-fit jeans and red suede pumps, she's looking polished yet casual, perfect for running errands or grabbing lunch with friends. We love how her gold chain necklace and sleek black structured bag add a touch of sophistication - and both items can be worn with any 9 to 5 look, too. Read on to snag Reese's celebrity style on a budget...and don't miss our Labor Day sales round-up, either!

Not ready to give up your summer whites? Ignore the classic Labor Day rule and take a cue from Nicky Hilton. In this look she pairs a crisp white vest with muted neutrals to create a chic ensemble — perfect for getting the most out of your summer wardrobe! We love how Nicky strays from the monochromatic look and mixes up her outfit with shades of blushed nudes, muted beiges and the addition of the animal print bag. In this recreation we stayed true to the look with similar hues and accessories. Our favorite find? Lulu's 'Aisle Be Waiting' Pumps ($34) which are almost an exact match for Nicky's Christian Louboutin 'So Kate' Nude Pumps ($675) and just a fraction of the cost! Read on to get the look for less...

The Man Repeller recently posed the thought-provoking question: Are illustrators the new fashion bloggers? We had to nod our collective heads in agreement because lately we've been following more and more illustrators on Instagram whose sketches make us smile, think, and most of all, feel inspired. So in this new feature, we're introducing you to up-and-coming fashion illustrator Christy Joehl (@spontaneousspark_bychristy), plus we're giving you a chance to win an original piece of artwork created especially for you by the artist!

From Cornfields to Manhattan: The Story of a Fashion Illustrator

She grew up in a rural community where the most popular clothing choices were grass-stained blue jeans, she attended a school where everyone dressed in uniform...in other words, her world did not organically lead to catwalks or red carpets, and yet Christy Joehl always dreamed of working in fashion.
