My favorite things about fashion are the constant knock-offs! You see, though it’s totally anti-creative, there’s something very democratic about it. Because if you think about it, the people who can afford high-end designers are still going to buy high-end designers. But for those of us who can’t or won’t spend over 2 grand on a purse, there are plenty of fabulous options! Below are some of my favorite Summer Staples. If you’re a high-rolling big spenda’, go for the SPLURGE! If you an everyday fashionista, get your style on with the STEALS! Click the brand name links to shop.
