I know many of you didn't sound too enthused about The Carlos Falchi for Target handbag collection which launches today, but if you plan on shopping there be sure to check it out! I was at Target yesterday to pick up candy for the trick-or-treaters but of course there was no chance that my Target was going to have the Falchi stuff set out early…

However, I finally snapped a photo of the rhinestone cuffs you see here, which read very luxe in person yet only cost $24.99 each. A statement cuff is sometimes all you need to add glamor and style to an outfit, especially party looks for the holidays. Have a peek at the bold earrings that are also part of this stand-out jewelry collection.

The little black mini gets a makeover with glam-rock studs. Test your fashion savvy and see if you can spot the designer vs. designer-inspired items. Answers below…

Few stores can deliver cute, cheap boots under $40. Enter Forever 21, a happy place we can always turn to when times are tough on the wallet yet ripe for fashion. Buckles, studs, cuffs and zippers can all be yours at these manageable prices. For runway-inspired looks at rock-bottom prices, browse Forever 21's current offerings below.
