Drew Barrymore wore this outfit on her way from a recording of the Daily Show with Jon Stewart. She wore a $41 Alternative Apparel tee, some $173 Ksubi jeans, a pair of $880 YSL pumps, and a Lucifer Vir Honestus ring that ranges from $3000 – $10000. Just about everything she’s wearing is ridiculously priced, especially that ring. I was able to find something that is in just about everyone’s price range. (To purchase, click on the images below.)

1. Utility Jacket – $27

Do you remember a long time ago when we used to “bedazzle” our clothes. If I’m showing my age I’m really going to regret it…lol. Anyway, Cynthia Rowley has teamed up with Band-Aid to sort of “bedazzle” bandages. First I learned that Christian Siriano teamed up the O-Cel-O to design sponges, then I learned that Betsy Johnson collaborated with Tweezerman to give a special design to tweezers (of all things), and now this. Boy, what will they think of next?
The Cynthia Rowley designed Band-Aid bandages are selling for $10 a box for a box of 20 (in assorted sizes and colors). $1 from each box sold will be donated to Design Ignites Change, an organization that engages high school and college students in design and architecture projects that address social issues in their own communities.
Take a look at the bandages. Would you go “designer” with your bandages? If so, you can purchase them by clicking here.

Jenni Kayne makes some really fashionable stuff. The skirt above (price tag: $148, on sale from $595), for instance, is very fashion forward. Fortunately for us Budget Shopaholics there are stores out there that make clothes that are just as fashionable, but for much less ($29.90). (To purchase, click on the either image.)

Drew Barrymore has a new movie out and has been hitting the circuit pretty hard promoting it. There has been a common denominator in her outfits…her gray suede YSL pumps. They are coming in at a jaw-dropping $880. At that price I guess she should wear them as much as possible.
Because I can’t fathom paying that much for platform pumps, I decided to find some that are just as fashionable as Drew’s but a lot cheaper. The prices for the ones below are right up my alley. (To purchase, click on the images below.) (Photo credit)

This is the season of lookbooks, and I have come across another one. This is another one that I’m excited about because it is at the forever budget-friendly store, Kohl’s. Simply Vera Vera Wang has been producing clothing lines for Kohl’s for quite some time and from the looks of things her newest collection is very trendy and fresh.
