Celebrity Copycat Deluxe: Jennifer Aniston’s Look for Less!

Maybe the producers of Jennifer Aniston’s latest movie (Bounty) are allowing her to pick her character’s outfit, because it’s not much different than her “real-life” look.  I personally think she looks her best when she’s dressed down in shorts or jeans.  Get Aniston’s look for less!

Celebrity Copycat: Jordana Brewster’s Look for Less!

Although I have never really paid attention to Jordana Brewster’s style before, this adorable outfit caught my eye.  I particularly like the fact that her outfit is trendy yet simple (although I’m not feeling the bag, so I swapped it out with a funky shoulder bag).

Celebrity Redo: Charlize Theron

Charlize was clearly trying to go for the laid-back red carpet look,but it just didn’t work (a bit sloppy and definitely unflattering). For the redo, I kept her in black but used a strapless sexy cocktail dress with a pair of funky cuffed platforms for some edge.  What do you think Of Chalize’s outfit?

Guest post: Third Willow Clutch Build-an-Outfit

 

Carly of Chic Steals and winner of  our Third Willow Clutch contest has graciously allowed us to use her fabulous post on how she built her outfit around her new clutch!

I’ve been meaning to post this outfit for awhile; I won the beautiful Third Willow clutch last month in a contest sponsored by one of my fave fashion blogs, FashionGrail. (I am in love with their Celebrity Copycat feature, where every week they find a lookalike to a celeb’s outfit – the whole thing! So inspiring – and compelling me to shop!)

The clutch is made from turquoise denim with a cognac croco-embossed leather ruffle to it…I pair it with stuff so that it’s purposely mismatched, but for this outfit, I decided to build it around the clutch.

I’m going to a party for a friend of mine who just landed this big job she’s been after for awhile. Kudos to her, especially in this economy! Woohoo!

So the dress is a little too big for me on the top…I was going to make this silky vest to go over it from this scrap of tie-dyed raw silk I’ve had laying around for ages…5 years to be exact. When I made my wedding dress I dyed some of the silk a light robin’s egg blue to make a ruched bustier, and this particular scrap ended up a mottled turquoise… not the look I was going for. I kept it trying to figure out what to do with it, and then I thought to make a vest to go with the clutch, then realized I didn’t have enough to make a back in the style I wanted, so just stuffed it down the front of the dress to give me more up top and add visual interest. Very Pride & Prejudice of me, I suppose.

I’ve been dying for a crystal bullet necklace from Unearthen Jewelry for so long (gorge website btw), but at $360+ a necklace it was unattainable. And then I found AnotherFeather on Etsy and snapped up this fabulous speckled quartz bullet pendant for only $38. (The quartz has a bluish tint and little flecks in it…it’s out of this world.) Every penny well-spent!

Sorry for the hideous lighting – just trying something different – shooting inside since it’s about 1000 degrees outside here in Portland now. Trying out the wide angle lens. Methinks I should stay away from this since this was an extremely unflattering angle. Pucker filter, you are a godsend.
