Jeffrey Campbell Lita's for Less

    I'm guessing all you fashionistas have heard of the infamous Jeffrey Campbell's Litas. Being new to the blogosphere i'm betting i'm a bit late to the hype of the trend. But, JC's Lita Boots are far from off the radar. Some may think they are hideous and clunky while other find them fashionable and stylish. I think it's all about how you style them. I will say while the Litas aren't everyones cup of tea, these boots definitely make a statement!

     But seeing as i'm just a college student with a love for fashion and a dainty bank account, it's hard for me to even think about dishing out $160+ dollars for a pair of these babies. So, in my discouragement I have turned to the internet in the hopes of finding my shoe salvation! I've been able to find a couple companies that make a doppelgänger of sorts of these striking boots! Here are a couple of my favorites:

Go Jane makes this pair; along with a couple other colors and styles. They also carry a bunch of other Jeffery Campbell look a-likes. This pair will run you about $62 dollars.

Charlotte Russe has a great pair as well, along with other Jeffery Campbell look a-likes. These will cost you about $48 dollars.

This pair from Missguided are really beautiful! they will run at about $60 dollars.

      H&M has a great and affordable pair too. They have a 1 inch front platform and around a 4 inch heel height. These are also the one's that I decided to purchase out of all the dupes that I ran across. They were $39.95:

J.Crew Jewelry for Less

     I don't know if anyone is like I am when it comes to shopping for jewelry; I'm always attracted to beautiful pieces that are WAY out of my price range. I'm a big fan of J.Crew's gorgeous line of statement necklaces. I think statement necklaces are a perfect way to express yourself and add dimension and flare to your outfit. Especially when you want to keep your attire more business-y or add a little something special to your night on the town outfit. I just can't get myself to splurge on a necklace that is over $100+ dollars! So I've found a couple alternatives that I think will satisfy my inner fashionista and my bank!!

This is J.Crew's Beaded Rose necklace, this piece retails for about $130. This has to be one of my favorite pieces that J.Crew has released yet. But come on really $130 dollars, thats insane!! 

Soon after I went on an internet hunt for a non brand name piece or one that was similar to the beautiful J.Crew piece. I was pleasantly surprised that I was not alone in my search!! I found a great seller on Ebay that creates pieces that looks almost the SAME, and in an array of different colors!

Her Ebay name is misillajane (I will link her online store below); her pieces come in three different colors: peach, mint, and white. They range from $14.99 to $24.99. She's the only seller i've found that keeps truest to the original J.Crew design; the thicker and shorter chain. I can't wait to place my order with her and rock that beautiful necklace!!
