Nothing says Fall like an open-draped patterned cardigan. And nothing says lucky bitch like Blake Lively wearing an enormous ring from her wedding with Ryan Reynolds. Some girls have all the luck, so we might as well steal her sweater. Real and steal below.

I LOVE Blake Lively’s style whether it is in real life or on GG. This particular outfit was worn by Blake on GG last year, but I wanted to cover the look for less because I received some emails about her blue cropped pants (all the rage). Steal Blake’s entire look for less than $130.
The Look for Less:
Sparkle & Fade Sequin Blazer/Gold – $89

Just like every great soap opera, you can tune in at any point of Gossip Girl and still follow the plot. Mainly because it is made up of scandal, style and sex so it isn’t too hard to figure out the lives of the upper east side crew. Let’s be real; we all know a gal who watches GG is following it mainly for the fashion, secondly for Chace Crawford and thirdly to covet Blake’s hair. Save yourself the drama and get three pairs of the girl’s hottest GG pumps for under $200.
Blair’s Patent Platform Pumps:
Real: Pour La Victoire Irina Platform Pump – $169
LFL: Target Viviana Platform Pumps – $30
Serena’s Green Double Platform Pumps:
Real: Charlotte Olympia Dolly Suede Platform Pumps – $734
LFL: Promiscuous Kori Green Platform Pumps – $59
Elizabeth’s Nude Pointy-toe Pumps:
Real: Jimmy Choo Point-toe Patent Pump – $495
Blair is losing her cool at W but not her fashion sense. I wish Blair would hook up with Dan already, it will be the scandal of the season and hopefully Serena responds by hooking up with Chuck (yes, it is her stepbrother but it would be the ultimate revenge). Gossip Girl is turning into the modern day Melrose Place, but with more fashionable outfits and a younger cast. Keep your cool and steal Blair’s brocade jacket for under $80.

So normally I hate on Blair’s outfits, but since I have developed an obsession for Kate Spade lately I am slowly understanding how you prepsters think. It doesn’t mean I would ever be caught dead in this outfit, but for those of you who are pining over it…steal the look for less than the Blair Waldorf version. But please don’t wear this outfit to work unless you actually work in fashion because no other boss will understand you.

From the Gossip Girls to the Housewives, pyramid jewelry is all the rage in Hollywood, but why spend a fortune to wear a large stud on your finger? Better off saving your money and using it to grab drinks with the girls, where hopefully you will pick up a life-size stud of your own (for free). Wow him with your style and savviness with one of these pyramid rings for under $45.

On last week’s Gossip Girl, everyone stayed covered up while running around causing trouble in NYC. Why they are trying to rekindle a romance between Serena and Dan is beyond me, but I think they must be running out of plot lines. It’s the only logic explanation for why they are alluding to a possible Blair/Dan romance. Seriously, NY would freeze over. When it does, wear Serena’ s plaid style for a fraction of the real.

Somehow Kate Moss manages to make sequins and leopard look chich & stylish in French Vogue. Damn supermodels. I wrote about this look when it was featured on Gossip Girl, but for those of you still looking to get the sequin leopard look for less, I found similar steals for under $30. Get yours now before Snooki and JWoww snatch them all up.

Betsey Johnson leopard sequin dress – $460

Our favorite gossip girl Blake was recently spotted wearing a $500 Cynthia Vincent blanket sweater to pick out christmas gifts. You heard that right, a blanket sweater. It looks more like a poncho/cardigan to me, but whatever you want to call it you aren’t going to catch me wearing it. At 5’2 it would look more like a plain old blanket on me, plus my idea of style is not resembling a homeless woman. But for those of you into Snuggie style, steal Blake’s comfy look for under $72.
The Real:
Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent Blanket Sweater
The Steals:
Square Patterned Blanket Wrap
Blanket Sweater
Sweater Coat
Even though Gossip Girl is on a break we can still obsess over Serena’s on-air style. Like this black sequin bag she paired with a black embellished coat, which would be perfect for any New Years event you may be attending. The real bag is limited edition Chanel, but the steal bag is available Charlotte Russe and on sale for only $5!
