From Emily Maynard’s clover necklace worn with a romper to Alexis Bellino’s clovers worn with a tiny bikini, we all love a good clover necklace.

While I am sad to see The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills come to an end, my favorite franchise {Real Housewives of Orange County} premieres tonight and I cannot wait to start covering some O.C. style on a budget. The skimpier the better! Even though the season is over for our beloved BH housewife Kyle Richards, she has been making the talk show rounds for her new book and I received many requests for her sequin tunic from the Nate Berkus show. Get Kyle’s style on a budget with a striped sequin tunic that won’t break your budget.

The Real: Parker Sequin Stripe Tunic – $297

The Steal: ArdenB Embellished Blousant Mini Dress – $169

Wow, I didn’t realize how much shit talking Lisa had gotten herself into until last night’s RHOBH reunion show – the ladies are not happy with her. Of course the housewife with the best style of the evening was Kyle Richards who was rocking a bright red dress, large hoop earrings and two oversized chain link bracelets that I NEED to add to my collection immediately. Get Kyle’s housewife style on a budget below.

Real Dress: Haute Hippie Drape Front Cape Dress in Tomato – $495

Steal Dress: Vero Moda Mini Dress with Frill Side Detail – $45

Kyle’s Real Pave Chain Bracelets (& earrings): XIV Karats

Steal Bracelets:

ABS Pave Goldtone Chain Link Bracelet – $125

I get asked this all the time, but no I am not psychic (I wish!). I just know how to use social media to get what I want; like the deets on what our favorite housewives are wearing. If you are desperate to know where to get the jacket Kyle Richards wore on WWHL or her fave lip glosses (Trish McEvoy & Bare Essentials) just stalk Kyle @kylerichards18 like I do and thank me later. Happy Friday!

The Real: Haute Hippe Patterned Sequin Jacket – $995

Why can’t all of us be lucky enough to have a man in our lives like Kyle Richards’ husband Mauricio? Seriously, he is perfect. I could go on…but anyway, I know all you really want to know about is where to get Kyle’s earrings and luckily for you the reals are a steal at $142.

How hilarious is Brandi “I use to roofie myself but now it’s illegal” Glanville on Real Housewives? Not only does she speak her mind, but she likes to wear as little clothing as possible at all times. Basically she is a girl after my own heart. I was majorly crushing on her keyhole open back maxi dress she wore while flirting with Ken and was happy to find a similar open back maxi look for $50.

The Real: Michelle Jonas Open Back Keyhole Dress – $235

The Steal: Open-back Maxi Dress – $49.99

Tonight’s Real Housewives of Beverly Hills was out of control, just like Taylor’s huge peacock earrings that were almost as big as her head. (Someone’s been taking accessorizing lessons from Kyle.) I felt so sad watching her and Russell pretend to be happy in the limo ride, but all I could really focus on was where to get her earrings for less. Start your own drama with these peacock looks for less.

Taylor’s Look for Less:

Adia Kibur Peacock Feather & Chain Earrings – $54

BOGNER Earrings – $15

To get us all ready for tonight’s episode of RHOBH I’m bringing back the emerald drop earrings Kyle made famous last season. Kyle wore them again for Pandora’s engagement party last week so I felt it was only right to revamp the real and steal, and this season the steal is even less at under $35.

Real: Kenneth Jay Lane Emerald Drop Earrings – $129

Steal: Emitations Emerald Drop Earrings – $35

Every celeb, Bachelorette star and reality Housewife owns a sexy leather moto jacket. It’s as common as them having extensions or a potential sex tape scandal. Since most of us aren’t funded by Bravo or ABC we can steal their moto look for less {sans real leather} thanks to my favorite place on earth next to H&M – Target. Shout out to Lori for the request! xx, tb

The Real:

GAP – $298 (sold out)

The Steal:

Target Xhiliration Moto Jacket – $39.99

Big earrings are to Kyle Richards like stripes are to Jenna Lyons or bracelets are to Blair Eadie {if you don’t know what I am referring to check it here}. My point is that it would be strange to see Kyle in public without her earring armor on; although she probably needs it to protect herself from crazies like Brandi. Take a cue from our fave fashionista housewife and get her big earrings on a little budget. xx, tb

Real: Kyle Chan Chalcedony Earrings – $142

The LFL: Privileged NYC Turquoise Earrings – $52
