The Alternative

As a fashion blogger, I spend most of my time on the Internet and I come across allot of the same trends at different price points. Sometimes, these trends are done better and cheaper then those luxe brands we love so much. Chick Downtown is one of my favorite go-to sites these days. Although, we love Net-a-porter where you can find the latest Balmain and Christian louboutin at Chick Downtown you can find really tready and fashionable brands like Alice + Olivia and BB Dakota without emptying your account. Check out a few of my finds below, that are very similar to those luxe brands.

$78.00 BB Dakota (Similar to the Balmain Jacket)$555.00 Alice + Olivia (also similar to the Balmain)

$345.00 Black Halo (Similar to Roland Mouret)

$79.00 BB Dakota (also, similar to the Roland Mouret)

198.00 (Similar to the Alexander McQueen)$88.00 Pleasure Doing Business (Similar to the Herve' Le'ger)

Kanye Cancels Pastelle

Kanye West's plans for his clothing line Pastelle fell through. This news comes right after pictures from the line's lookbook were leaked online yesterday. Even though Kanye has been sporting fashions from his label to award shows, promoting it in his song "Stronger" ("Specially in my Pastelle or my Bape shit"), and teaming up with designers like Ksubi and Louis Vuitton, he is apparently ditching the label. This also comes after his VMA debacle with Taylor Swift, as well as his cancelled tour with Lady GaGa. Maybe Kanye is being smart by taking a break from fashion world.
