Copy Cat: Crafty Friday

Yesterday, a friend introduced me to Ornamentea in downtown Raleigh. After coveting this necklace from Anthropologie, I decided to make something similar. 

Anthro's version: $19.95 (Orig. $38)

My version: $3.25

Happy weekend! I'm heading out of town for a wedding....what are YOU doing?

Dress: $48

 Sweater: £40

 Necklace: $29

Shoes: $20

I want it all.

Copy Cat: Tortoiseshell Hoops

Apparently I'm having a love affair with tortoiseshell because my newest craving is a pair of tortoiseshell hoops.

Anne Klein Tortoise Hoop Earrings, $26.00 at Macy's

Or, buy these for less than $10: 

Tortoise Medium Hoop Earrings, $9.99 at Target

Tortoise Shell Hoops, $8.00 at Claire's

Which do you like? The Target ones are my pick.

Copy Cat: Michael Kors Tortoiseshell Watch

Earlier today, I noticed my friend Abby pinned a watch she wanted. Last year, I went through the epic journey of finding the perfect tortoiseshell watch. It took a while to find the one I really wanted after I realized the Michael Kors version was way out of my budget. I understand this is a white girl problem but just humor me. 


Here's the Michael Kors "Chronograph Tortoiseshell Bracelet" watch that every sorority girl owns:

$195 at Macy's (...or $147.00 at amazon.com)

Last year, I came across several watches that were very similar. This is the watch Abby pinned and I love:

Fossil Stella Resin Watch, $105 (Online retailers have this watch for as low as $69)

Another option is this one from Anne Klein. It's a little more mature than I would wear:

AK Anne Klein 'Tortoise Plastic Bracelet' Watch, $55.00

And finally, the cheapest oversized tortoise shell watch:

Relic Starla Stainless Steel Crystal Tortoiseshell Watch, $44

I ended up getting this watch. It's much smaller than any of the ones above but the oversized watch trend look so good on me. 

Copy Cat: Anchor Earrings

I'm no woman of the sea but I like anchors. Always have, always will. 

Elizabeth and James 'Sea Creatures' Anchor & Sapphire Earrings, $250.00 at Nordstrom.

I typically shy away from things with "rhinestones" in the title but here's an (almost) identical pair of earrings for less than the cost of lunch:

Rhinestone Anchor Earrings, $3.80 at Forever 21. 

Boom. Roasted.
