Video Style Steal: Rihanna & Her Boys "Run This Town," Street ...
Flipping through magazines like Vogue, W, or Harper's Bazaar always seems to leave me wanting. They always showcase lust-inducing fashion and accessories that I wish, wish, wish were in my own closets and drawers. I flip through a few pages of a featured photoshoot and inevitably spot something (or many things) that I don't think I could possibly live without! I eagerly focus my attention on the fine print in the corner that tells you the item, where it can be found, and the price. The price kills me every time. Half a years rent for that soft, Italian leather satchel? I'm sure it's smooth as butter, but I can't sleep in it. Are those killer stilettos worth going without electricity and water for a few months? Almost, but not quite. I haven't gone that insane yet! But that little bit of logic is not enough for me to just let it go and forget about it. Lately, all the magazines have been showing rocker-inspired clothing and accessories that I'm sure I could pull off if only I had the funds. Chains, metallic hardware, black and white contrasting details, filigree designs - all beautiful and all outside my budget. But I will not be disheartened! The budget fashionista loves and appreciates high-end designers, but knows that an endless supply of money doesn't equal a great fashion sense and a limited budget doesn't mean you have to only have second-rate, un-trendy ensembles. Check out the slideshow to see how to incorporate the rocker-glam look into your closet without having to break open the piggy bank!
