In VB's Closet: Rick Owens Blister Washed-Leather Biker Jacket

Victoria Beckham looked amazing as usual while she went for a walk in NY with her daughter. Only she could get a way with a leather biker jacket, zip detail jeans, and sky high boots on a walk with a two month old!

What I loved most about her ensemble was her fabulous Rick Owens Blister Washed-Leather Biker Jacket! She's a big fan of his pieces and this is an exclusive to Net-A-Porter. You can purchase the same jacket here for $2,465.

The Look for Less: Rose Gold Spike Bracelet

It should come as no surprise to all of you, but I absolutely love celebrity fashion... especially when it comes to what Victoria Beckham is currently wearing! She has been my style icon since the first days of the Spice Girls and she continues to be very much so. I am constantly in awe of her clothing and accessories and am always on the hunt for what I call a "VB bargain" - which is basically the posh look for less. In my last "Look for Less" post, I told you guys where to find similar watches to Victoria's Rolex collection and this post is dedicated to the dainty accessory she often wears with them... her Anita Ko Spike bracelet.

When Victoria first debuted this bracelet I was in love with it! I loved how different it was and how it perfectly complimented her Rolex Daytona watch. Unfortunately, I do not have a budget as big as the Beckhams, so I was on the hunt for a very similar piece that I could wear paired with my Michael Kors rose gold watch. It took several months (as you can tell) but I finally found a quality piece that was overwhelmingly similar.

This Pyramid thin bangle bracelet was my pre-birthday (my 26th is on Monday - 8/22) gift to myself. Unlike the Anita Ko original, which I would LOVE to own, this bracelet did not cost me $5,000+ dollars. Instead, it was a much more budget friendly at only $70!! This bangle comes in the rose gold (which I own), silver, and yellow gold. You can purchase them here.

The Look for Less: Victoria's Rolex Watches

Victoria Beckham has both a closet and a jewelry box that would make anyone green with envy. Most of VB's pieces (both clothing and accessories alike) are high end designer/brand name items that have extremely high price tags that the average Joes and Janes of the world simply just can not afford.

Case in point, Victoria is the proud owner of numerous time pieces but none stand out more than her uber fabulous Rolex watches! She has two styles that are extremely chic and rather hard to come by (and when you do, the prices are out of this world). The golden Day Date Presidential and the rose gold Daytona will run you tens of thousands of dollars.

've found two extremely similar pieces by Michael Kors that are much more budget friendly. The gold "Ladies 3 Hand Runway" watch is very close to Victoria's Presidential and will cost you $180 here. The "Large Layton Chronograph" watch bears a striking resemblance to the Daytona David gave Victoria for her birthday... it's so close you can hardly tell the difference! This will cost you $250 here.

In VB's Closet: Rick Owens Long Fine-Knit Cardigan

So I was just doing some research trying to find Victoria's cardigan from the park the other day and I found both the cardigan and another photo of her wearing the exact same piece last month so this is a combined "Closet" and "Favorites" post.

Victoria wore this Rick Owens long fine-knit cotton cardigan both April 9th and May 28th to soccer practice with her boys. Back in April, she wore it with a black tank, self designed jeans and sunglasses, and her Louboutin boots. She wore it this weekend with leggings, Gucci sunglasses, another black tank, and her Louboutin Ariella Talon boots. Both times she looked comfy and stylish... perfect for a day out with her boys.

This cardigan is currently available on Net-a-Porter here for $845.

In VB's Closet: Gucci Leather Coated Aviator Sunglasses

Here is a quick photo of Victoria inside one of the family cars. She was out and about in LA.

She is wearing Gucci's leather coated aviator sunglasses which you can purchase here for $495. A bit of a surprise since she's usually wearing her own designs, but I LOVE these on her!

Victoria & the Boys Touch Down in NYC

Two days after the royal wedding Victoria, the boys, and her father were spotted arriving in New York City. Victoria looked chic as ever wearing a pair of wax denim jeans from her own label, a blazer, and taupe/nude accessories which consisted of her Louboutin Daffodiles, a scarf, and her Victoria bag.
You can purchase this bag at Net-a-Porter here for $3,500.

InStyle Designer Spotlight: Jennifer Hudson in VB

Courtesy of InStyle.com:

Jennifer Hudson stopped by the Dancing With the Stars studio last night to debut her song “Don’t Look Down” from her new I Remember Me album during the results show. She wore a shiny purple satin-crepe dress by Victoria Beckham for the occasion, and you can score the same look! The frock, which features a black grosgrain belt, is available at Net-a-Porter.com for $3,220. And Hudson is no stranger to bright, bold colors–earlier this year she made headlines with the tangerine Versace gown she selected for the 2011 Academy Awards.

In VB's Closet: Stella McCartney Falabella Studded Bag

I have to admit, it was a bit of a shock to see Victoria carrying this gorgeous Stella McCartney Falabella studded bag because it's not either an Hermes piece or one of her own designs... but the fabulosity of this bag is enough to make any girl swoon! This stunner is an eco friendly faux-leather hobo bag with silver stud embellishments, silver curb chain shoulder straps and trim, a magnetic snap closure, fully lined main compartment, and an included coin purse.

You can purchase it here for $1,695. Amazing! Definitely a new addition to my lust list!

The Look for Less: Brian Atwood Drama Pumps

When the Brian Atwood Drama pumps were first released, they sold out like hotcakes! Now that sale season is over for fall, the hunt for the now impossible to find straggler pairs is even more difficult. But good news for those of you who either missed the Dramas the first time around (like me... and I could kick myself for doing so) or could not get passed the $660 retail price tag, you're in luck. The often designer inspired Steve Madden is now offering an extremely similar version called the Bevv-B. These are much more budget friendly... they retail for $99.95!

*Thanks to kGraham for the info!

In VB's Closet: VB Jeans & Marc Jacobs Coat

*A big thanks to one of my readers, Lindsay, for your email and help with the links for these IDs!

The Look for Less: Brian Atwood Chain Back RZ Boots

I don't know about all of you, but I sure fell head over heels for Brian Atwood and Rachel Zoe's RZ boots from Brian's fall 2010 collection the minute we first saw them on Victoria. Yes, they were available soon after, but they came with a hefty price tag of $2,900.

Since I don't have thousands of dollars lying around to shell out for one pair of shoes, you can imagine the excitement I felt when I saw these chain back stretch boots available on Venus.com. Unlike the Atwoods which would cost thousands, these are much more budget friendly at $49!!

You can order them here and they are expected to ship on May 15th.

FYI: Victoria, Kim Kardashian, and Rachel Zoe all adore these boots.

In VB's Closet: Lanvin Feathered Ouloulette Shoulder Bag

While out to dinner at Nobu, Victoria's ensemble may have been a bit drab, but her Lanvin Feathered Ouloulette shoulder bag was very spicy (excuse the horrific pun!).

The bag is very whimsical with champagne colored ostrich feathers hanging from the delicate chain strap. It is also adorned with a fabulous jewel snap button closure. You can purchase this bag at Neiman Marcus here for $1,185 and you have three color choices - champagne (like Victoria), black, or violet.

I prefer her black ones but for those of you who like the nude leather/black fishnet insert version, you can also purchase them at Net-a-Porter for $640 here.

In VB's Closet: Alexander McQueen Strong Shouldered Coat

In DB's Closet: Ralph Lauren Bags

Since David has been spending a lot of time shopping at Ralph Lauren, it wasn't exactly shocking to see him carrying two bags from the designer's holiday collection while traveling to London over the weekend.

David toted both the Deerfield Vachetta Mailbag (top) and the Beacon Weekender Bag (bottom) while departing LAX. You can purchase the mailbag for $995 here and the weekender for $895 here.

VB Inspired for the Holidays

I'm sure you are all feeling my pain this holiday season... rushing around trying to find the perfect gifts for your friends and family as well as that fabulous, yet affordable dress to wear to all of those holiday parties!

Well your in luck! ASOS has a fantastic Victoria Beckham inspired LBD for less than $100! Yes, you heard, or read, right... less than $100!

This Corset Body-Conscious Dress from ASOS bears a striking resemblence to VB's 3/4 sleeve banded mini dress, #36, from the spring 2010 collection that was a celebrity fave! ASOS's version has the same neckline, sleeve length, and peplum skirt as the orignal. The only major differences are the fabric, zipper in the back, and length... ASOS's seems to be a bit shorter.

It's a perfect choice for those holiday gatherings this season and you can purchase it for only $73 here! Please let me know if any of you scoop this great deal of a dress up! I'd love to hear about how it was like in person!
