Category — The Bachelorette

Tonight is the night for Emily Maynard’s return to primetime TV. I will be watching at my bffs house since I got rid of cable so impromptu girls night! However, I did get a preview of the sequin gown Emily will be wearing tonight {which I’m sure costs more than any of us can afford} and wanted to cover the look for less to get us all ready for what is sure to be the most stylish season of The Bachelorette yet. Bring it.

Emily Maynard’s season hasn’t even started yet and we are already getting Bachelorette date night shots. The look on everyone’s list? Where to get Em’s one shoulder red lace dress she wears on a date with this guy (cuter than Brad!). I remember when Ashley Tisdale wore this exact same Nightcap Clothing Victorian Lace Dress months ago because I looked at the price ($352) and thought “holy shit, I can find this look for less!” So, here it is:

The Look for Less:

Sneak Peek Open Back Lace Dress – $44

Gabriella Rocha Tristah Dress – $30.99

{Different color, same idea}

Charlotte Russe One Shoulder Lace Dress – $32.99

Maynard madness has officially begun; I am already getting requests for Emily’s street style and her season of The Bachelorette is still months away. Smart move ABC, this is going to be the most popular season to date. Steal Emily Maynard’s look and rock your own orange dress and statement necklace for less.

From the message Emily Maynard is sending through her clothing she is not giving up on love anytime soon (suck it Brad!). Let’s hope ABC gives Em the best/hottest men America has to offer on her upcoming season of The Bachelorette, which means NO Bentley. Whether she sports Forever21 bandage dresses or a fastener on her head I can guarantee Emily’s season will be the best in style and in show. Get the exact ‘Love Never Fails’ tank Emily wears for only $30.

When news broke that Emily Maynard will be the next Bachelorette it basically made my year. Let’s be honest; Ashley’s season was a bust and this year’s Bachelor contestants have no style to stalk whatsoever. So I will count down the days until Em arrives and shows all these girls how to do it right and (sometimes) on a budget. Unlike this bag she was spotted with that costs more than some of us make in a month.

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

Despite her missteps in the fashion department {how many oversized/backless shirts can one women own?} Ashley proved she has good taste in men during last night’s Bachelorette. I mean, let’s be real here, she isn’t going to do much better in the looks department than JP so she better snatch him up while she can. I think this ABC romance might even last a year. Forget Ashley’s feathered finale frock that costs $17,000 and get the real earrings she wore on Jimmy Kimmel at a steal.

Real & Steal: Penelope G Mai Earrings – $40
