Kardashians Hosting Vegas Magazines 7th Anniversary

Kourtney and Kim Kardashian hosted this years 7th Vegas Magazine Anniversary party and as usual looked flawless.



Kim is wearing a white one shoulder dress by Domincan Republic designer Oriett Domenech, clutch by Herve Leger and Nude Christian Louboutin pumps.


Kourtney is wearing a dress by Brian Lichetenberg and nude shoes by Christian Louboutin.

Get Kim Kardashians similar look for less:
Aqua One Shoulder Peplum Stretch Dress- $143.73 @ Asos
In-spire-ation Necklace- $17.99 @ Modcloth
Jessica McClintock Envelope Flap Clutch- $45.00 @ Nordstrom
Jessica Simpson 'Waleo' Pump- $88.95 @ Nordstrom

Key make-up tips to achieve the look are Kim's signature long lashes and perfectly filled in brows, peachy cheeks, concealed undereye circles and smokey eyes. And of course.... coral lips.  

Splurge vs steal: Cynthia Vincent Luella Wedge

As soon as these shoes where seen on Vanessa Hudgens, they sold out in stores everywhere!
Personally, I think these shoes are hot (lovin' the zipper detail down the middle as well as the gladiator style) and are available at Singer22.

They remind me so much of the Nine West Heech I bought last year when THOSE wedges took the blogger world by storm.

Below I also found some cheaper alternatives for those of you on a budget or who just don't want to spend hundreds on a wedge.

The Bakers.com version is by Jessica Simpson for about 1/4th of the price. Just like the Cynthia Vincent wegde, it's also available in black.



Look For Less: YSL Tribute Canvas Leopard Pump

Glamouricious to the rescue bringing you yet another splurge vs. steal when it comes to shoes!

YSL Tribute Canvas Leopard Pump, $675

Baker's "Emory" Slingback Platform, $79.95


DIY: Studded Designer Belt

One of my fave bloggers made a belt much like the Sonya Rikel studded wrap belt she saw on SATC. Definitely worth taking a look at and giving a try when you have the time.

Looks For Less

Dying for the designer look but not willing to break the bank? Nowdays there are so many other alternatives.. I admit, the designer looks sometimes just have those little details which make me crave them even more..
If your like me and aren't willing to budge because of minor accent pieces, you're STILL in luck because even the designer ones are now on sale!:) But, to be honest looking at the alternatives and their matching price tags is making me want to be more flexible.

Nine West “Thayle” slingbacks, $53.30. ($79) Available online at macys.com.
These 2 look quite alike apart from a few noticable details, for instance: the "Thayle" looks less glossy, the toe is a bit pointier and the heel is also a bit thicker. I love the Miu Miu ones more in this case. I'm a sucker for patent leather and the rounded toe. *drool*

I'd definatly go for the ones from Spiegel. Not much too diffrence apart from the cut out on the side. And for the price you can't go wrong.
