A core tenant of my brand is that you don't need to break the bank to look amazing. In this economy? No thanks! That’s why I proudly call myself “the queen of dupes”—I can find a budget-friendly version of almost anything. So, I’ve put my skills to work and created a Looks for Less guide for the pre-fall season. I've broken it down into three categories: clothing, shoes, and bags. I hope this guide helps you snag some of those pieces you’ve been eyeing—now at a fraction of the cost. You’re actually saving money…that’s girl math at its finest!

Clothes

I don’t even know where to start with these dupes! First, shoutout to Aritzia for making the perfect Skims dupe. I own this piece, and it's an amazing base layer that keeps you snatched under anything. It also doubles as a super cute bodysuit for a girls’ night or a date when paired with a blazer.

And that Khaite dupe from Gap? If you haven’t checked out Gap lately, you definitely should. They’ve got incredible pieces at great prices!

Lastly, the suede blazer from Oak & Fort… that is THE coveted blazer of the season! As of now, it’s in stock, but if it sells out by the time you’re reading this, be sure to sign up for restock notifications because they’ll be replenishing it!

2. Shoes

I'm a huge advocate for a good shoe dupe. Don’t get me wrong—I love a designer pick! The designer shoes I’ve splurged on I’ve NEVER regretted. But shoes can be tricky; they wear out easily, and sometimes the designer version is less comfortable than the dupe. You end up spending all that money, only for the shoes to cause you pain. Plus, if you're unsure about a certain designer style—especially if it’s outside your usual look—buying a dupe is a great way to test it out and see if it works in your wardrobe, like a trial run!

For your future shopping needs, Steve Madden has a dupe for nearly every trending designer shoe. It doesn’t stop at the Miu Miu dupes or the Ganni dupes—it goes so much deeper. If you're now curious about a particular style, I highly recommend checking out their website!

3. Bags

Just like with shoes, investing in a trendy bag can feel overwhelming, especially if you only use it a few times. Consider opting for a dupe as a trial run while you explore your personal style. For instance, if you’re a 9-to-5 corporate professional who primarily carries a tote, that $1,070 Jacquemus bag, while stunning, might not fit your lifestyle—and that’s perfectly okay! A dupe can be a great alternative. The same applies to the Staud Tommy bag; while it’s beautiful, a beaded bag may not be something you’ll reach for year-round. So, where’s that Dupe button?
