Blake Lively Red Versace Dress Look-A-Like

Dexie Wharton — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 17:40:57 +0000

Last September, Blake Lively wore a Red HOT Versace plunging neckline and back dress for the 2009 Primetime Emmy Awards. Blake Lively definitely looked hot that night. Her dress was one of my favorites besides Leighton Meester’s Bottega Venetta white knotted-strap dress.

Anyhoooo, if you liked Blake’s red dress as much as I did but don’t want to spend how much Blake did, here’s a Blake Lively Red Versace Dress Look-A-Like just in time for the holidays. Actually, Red is perfect for the holidays.

This red plunging neckline and back dress is from edressme, created by Alyce Designs. The dress is currently on sale for $115 in sizes 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 16. The neckline is not as deep as Blake’s but it’s deep enough to wear outside Hollywood setting, know what I mean. So you get the essence of Blake’s dress without going for the full effect. That’s price is definitely good too. Be the Va-Va-Boom that you are this holiday with this dress on.

Dexie Wharton — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 17:18:57 +0000

Mariska Hargitay decided to stick with her favorite designer Carolina Herrera for the 2009 Primetime Emmy’s. She wore this Carolina Herrera silver v-neck gown to help her shine ever more at the red carpet. It’s simple yet elegant at the same time. The silver color is not too obtrusive at all. The silhouette is perfect on Mariska’s body frame and the dress itself used just the right amount of train.

If you want a Mariska Hargitay’s Carolina Herrera 2009 Emmy Dress For Less, edressme created one with a more affordable price I’m sure.

The edressme version of the Carolina Herrera silver gown is paler. The silver color is more subtle. In any case, it still captured the tonal crisscross detailing on the bodice plus the train from the original dress. If you don’t want to go all out in bling mode the Mariska Hargitay’s Carolina Herrera 2009 Emmy Dress look-a-like which is $410 is definitely the way to go.

Dexie Wharton — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 15:49:53 +0000

Christian Dior

Bergdorf Goodman is calling this Christian Dior Safari Ankle-Tie Pumps as the “aggressive black pumps” for Spring. Aggressive indeed. Look at those platform heels, whewww. It is GORGEOUS. I love the silvertone hardware and the studded heels. I’d like to have a pair but I can’t possibly afford $1,390.00. Even if I can, I have better things to spend that money on. 2 monthly car payments and 2 weeks worth of groceries perhaps, hehe. This is when the bargain fashionista in me kicks in full gear. I’m pretty sure I can find a few pairs of Dior Safari Ankle-Tie Pumps Lookalikes that won’t cost you and I a boatload of money. And I found some….

Check out after the fold to see the Dior Safari Ankle-Tie Pumps Lookalikes.

Delicious Platform Pumps

Delicious platform pumps, $27.99 from Cutesy Girl. This is available in sizes 5.5 to 10.

Delicious Strappy Pumps

Delicious Strappy pumps, $20.99 from UrbanOG. I like this one. I’ll buy a pair of this once I have extra cash to spend. I’ve featured this shoes before with a Look For Less outfit.

Paprika Platform Pumps

Paprika Nation Platform Pumps, $27.99 from Cutesy Girl.

I know they don’t look exactly like the Dior ankle tie pumps but close enough. You can buy all 3 of them and you still wouldn’t be spending half of what the Dior shoes cost.

Amy Adams’ 2009 Oscar’s Dress Replica

Dexie Wharton — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 18:53:27 +0000

Amy Adams looked beautiful in her Carolina Herrera crimson strapless dress during the 2009 Oscar Awards. Having said that, I was bored by it. Most stylists and fashionistas on TV has picked this look apart and the consensus is that the chuncky necklace did not complement the dress. I actually like the necklace but I agree with them. That’s the reason why the dress seemed a bit boring to me. The combination with the necklace just did not go together.

Nevertheless, an Amy Adams’ Carolina Herrera dress replica has been created. Find out where to get it after the fold….

You can have your own Amy Adams’ 2009 Oscar Awards dress for less thanks to edressme. The Carolina Herrerra dress replica is $325.
