The Look for Less: Dior 'Mise En Dior' Tribal Double-Pearl Earrings

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:

Dior pearl earring lookalikes!


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!

Splurge vs. Steal: Rag & Bone 'Harrow' Booties


Rag and Bone Harrow bootie look for less

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

I'm back with another fall fashion video – this time, I'm sharing 2 styles of jeans every woman needs to own and how to wear them, featuring Signature by Levi Strauss and Co.™'s NEW Totally Shaping Jeans. Earlier I told you ladies how much I loved their skinny jeans aptly named "The Skinny," and well, the Totally Shaping collection is just as amazing. The innovative Totally Shaping denim is specifically designed to shape, slim and never stretch out. Plus they're available in multiple styles and fits so there's a super flattering pair for every body. Trust me, you will live in these jeans all fall, winter and beyond. And they're under $20, exclusively at Walmart. Go get your pair now, and thank me later! No for real, I'd love to see your pics and/or hear your thoughts on these jeans. I've heard from a couple readers already who checked out the Signature by Levi Strauss & Co.™ collection following my first video and I'm loving all the positive feedback! Send me a tweet or post a photo on Instagram and tag me @budgetbabe plus the hashtag #SIGNATUREJEANS

Splurge vs. Steal: Chloe Leopard Chelsea Boots


Splurge vs. Save: Chelsea Leopard Boot

Animal prints are once again huge for fall and I've been contemplating buying a pair of leopard print ankle boots for many months now. I love seeing this print on a flat or low-heel Chelsea boot since the print is bold enough. And this way you can wear your boots everyday with jeans rather than saving them for nights out (when am I going out these days anyways?!) Here's a high-end splurge and the more budget-friendly alternative that I will be stalking until it goes on sale:

Splurge: Chloe 'Drew' Boots, $1,191.03 at FARFETCH.COM

Steal: Steve Madden 'Palace' Boots $99.95 at STEVEMADDEN.COM
