I'm always on the lookout for chic jewelry at affordable prices, so I was thrilled when the owner of Charles Emerson Designs reached out to share her boutique. I think you'll agree after taking a quick look that it's fabulous. The carefully edited selection of earrings, rings, necklaces and bracelets read luxe (think J.Crew jewelry on a budget!) while the prices are totally Budget Babe approved. I didn't see anything over $38! Endearing names like Bea, Emma and Evie make each piece feel special, too. Bookmark CharlesEmersonDesigns.com and think of them the next time you're looking for a little sparkle or a statement piece to update your look.

Khloe Kardashian wore a Rag & Bone sequin jacket on X Factor. Can you help me find a look for less? —Natalie G.





Khloe's amaze-balls jacket by Rag & Bone is $655 at intermixonline.com. Now, I have some good news and some bad news.

Rag & Bone Rag & Bone Faren Sequin Peplum Jacket

First, the bad news. I searched high and low and couldn't find another sequin peplum jacket that even comes close to Khloe's.

Now for the good news! There are lots of other sequin jackets and blazers out there that will look just as chic this holiday sequins. Shall we?

To start, we have this Dorothy Perkins sequin jacket for $99.

Black sequin blazer

My next favorite find is this Victoria's Secret sequin blazer. Love the blue. ($99)

Sequin Jacket

Moving right along, I found this jacket at MANGO for $99. It's cropped but might look great paired with a peplum top. Think about it...

Sequins beads jacket

Finally, I'd stop by Forever 21 - they have a lot of sequin toppers like this bomber jacket under $30.

I would also head to H&M - I don't have any photos on hand but I was at a store last week and saw lots of glittery jackets and cardigans that would be perfect for you! xoBB

Have you found any amazing (and affordable) sequin blazers this season? Let Natalie know in the comments!

These Nichola Kirkwood glitter-finished patent leather heels are $525 (down from $1,050) at net-a-porter.com. If these don't get your pulse racing, I don't know what will.

When it comes to gift giving, I think less is more. Meaning, I'd rather get a few nice small gifts (they don't have to be expensive) rather than a bunch of things I don't really need, can't use or don't like. Sorry to sound like Scrooge but it's true! And that's why I like shopping for gifts at places like Gilt.com. They've got dozens of stylish and affordable gifts, many priced under $50. With family and friends around the country, I can just pick out the perfect gift and have it shipped directly to them - another huge plus. Today's sales include Rebecca Minkoff everything, Kenneth Jay Lane jewelry, as well as on-going curated holiday gift shops. Sort by price and see what catches your eye! Just make sure the item you're buying is guaranteed to arrive by Christmas. Visit Gilt.com to shop.
