The Look for Less: Leather Moto Jacket for $40.

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

Look for Less: Michelle Money’s Black Criss Cross Top from The Bachelor Pad 2, Ep.1.

The only good thing about The Bachelor Pad 2 is Michelle Money and Gia because we can covet their outfits. Their effortless hair and amazing style makes you want to hate them…except for the fact they seem about one million times cooler than the other girls in the house, which makes you love them instead. Get Michelle’s limo look for less than it will cost Vienna’s daddy to pay for her next nose job.

Real & Steal: Gia’s I Love Metal Off Shoulder Top from Bachelor Pad.

I didn’t know it was possible to look worse after a nose job but Vienna is proving me wrong on Bachelor Pad. Even though I can’t stand her the comment she made about Jake being a phony robot was spot on. Gia looks beautiful as usual in all her off-shoulder styles and she rocked my favorite brand, Wildfox, with her off shoulder I Love Metal top I wrote about last year when Megan Fox wore it. Get Gia’s look for less and save your money for the rest of Gia’s wardrobe we will covet this season.

The Bachelor Pad Style: Host a Garden Party on Your Neck for Less.

Worn by Nikki on The Bachelor Pad, Stella & Dot’s Garden Party necklace is obviously not for the faint of baubles. It is also obvious that I seriously need to consider entering one of these dating shows on ABC, if not just to get free swag. But, for those of us who aren’t reality stars and don’t have $300 to drop on a necklace, here are some affordable alternatives to the garden party necklace.
