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

If there’s one thing we have learned from the ladies of The Bachelor and Bachelorette is that oversized is not overrated. Whether it is their personalities, jewelry or style, the women of The Bachelor franchise know how to go big or go home (literally). Remember Jillian Harris’ gold oversized Michael Kors watch we all lusted after? I recently spotted it on theglamourai (must check out her blog) and felt it necessary to revisit the oversized gold watch look for less. Because we all can’t be gifted them for free on TV.

My favorite bachelorette Jillian Harris is being featured on Wetpaint this week for her work with Extreme Home Makeover in Kansas. Aside from her giving nature, what I am really interested in is her effortless style. The woman makes a horse sweater look cute, no joke. If you have an Aritzia nearby you are in luck and can steal the real for $80. If you have no clue what Aritzia is, channel your inner Jillian and sport a horse on your chest with these other budget-friendly options.

When Jillian Harris stepped out last year wearing a tu tu over a dress people thought she was losing her fashion edge. But after watching Black Swan last night (it is A-mazing and a must see!) I think Jillian was on to something because all I can think about is rocking my own tu tu skirt, which I already own thanks to Kohl’s. If you want to dance the night away in your own tu tu style, pick up one of these skirts for under $60. And then wear it to go see Black Swan immediately.

In the name of fashion “research” I decided to scope out the new Nordstrom Rack in Boca last night to check out the deals. I don’t know if I am on shopping overload or just budgeted out but I left empty handed, which rarely happens. The best brands I came across were: Theory, BCBG, Splendid, Matty M and Juicy. The shoes are really where you’ll get the best deals with designers like Kate Spade, D&G, Badgley Mischka and more.

I nearly pushed a woman out of the way when I spotted the very Badgley Mischka Anthracite heels I stalked when Jillian Harris wore them after the Bachelorette, which were sold out for months. Of course they only had them in every size but mine, but I wanted to share this amazing find with those of you who can find a pair that fit. Happy shopping!

BEST BUDGET BUY:

Badgley Mischka Metallic Anthracite Heels – $97

Our favorite Bachelorette, Jillian Harris (if she isn’t your fave then you’re delusional), is back in action since splitting with Ed. She recently tweeted a photo of herself that has set off a frenzy for her yellow w/pink heart long sleeve sweatshirt. Hopefully this won’t turn into romper-gate 2010, but while I search for the real I stumbled across some great steals (pretty sure they are all the same brand) that should suffice for now.

The bachelors and bachelorettes may come and go, but Jillian Harris’ style is forever. Like her oversized gold Michael Kors watch that started an overnight sensation almost as intense as the one for her denim romper. Who needs 25 men competing for them when you have a watch that looks like Jillian’s for under $40?

Real: Michael Kors Oversized Rose Gold Watch – $250

ASOS Gold Boyfriend Watch – $73
