Designer Trends for less :)

Hey guys! I hope your week went well! I'm pretty sure this is the longest I've gone without posting so far and I'm not proud I'm just so bad at managing my time! Anyways fall and winter always have some of the best trends to offer but sometimes its hard to afford or even find the trends so I did a little research and found some affordable alternatives for you :)


Faux Fur Vest

Despite the weather cooperating around here, one of the hottest trends right now are fur vests. Now if you're thinking what I think you're thinking no worries faux is also fabulous. The one on the left is Michael Kors' Funnel Neck Gilet fur vest for $546 and the one on the right is Bisou Bisou faux fur vest from JcPenney's for only $50.



Classic Trench Coat


Trench coats are a cold weather trend that will never go out of style, no matter how unique they become they will always be a classic. On the left is Burberry's version for $1,995 and on the right is Gap's for $88 which might be a little pricey but its way better than spending a grand plus its a classic! :)




Plaid



















I've never been a huge fan of plaid but that doesnt mean I'm going to leave it out. The one on the left is
A.L.C. Joni Checked Wool Sweater for $395 and the one on the right is the affordable version from Forever 21 for $19.80.



Leather Leggings
























Ahh one of my favorite trends this season leather leggings!! I actually have a pair from forever 21 they were only $10 but I would honestly invest in a pair that doesnt stretch out after wearing them once. The pair on the left is from Victoria Beckham's line for pretty price of $1,500 however the pair on the right is from Top Shop for $76 I cant tell the difference between can you?



Harness




















Ahh well this trend is definitely not a traditional or classic one but it was featured on this year's fall runways of several major fashion designers and although it may be a little harsh on the eyes it is absolutely intriguing to the imagination. The one on the left is by Herve Leger for $1,400 and the kinder version on the right is from Asos for $32.23


Jumpsuits























I love jumpsuits I've been wearing them for years because they're so comfy! They are a pain to go the to bathroom in but all in all they're fabulous and I'm glad its finally a trend. The suit on the left is by Michael Kors for $1,995 and the suit on the right is from Forever 21 for only $32.80


Masculine


















Another trend that's arising is the masculine style which you can find in cardigans, blazers trousers and outerwear. I personally adore this look and I love this tuxedo style color block blazer. You can find the one on the left at Bloomingdale's for $103 or you can get the one on the left at Forever 21 for $37.80



let me know which trends are your fave for this season and if you find them for even better deals let me know that too I'd love to hear about your opinions! Thanks for reading guys and I hope you a great weekend :) xoxoEm
