This week’s most-wanted: Reed Krakoff Glazed Glovetan Leather Kit Bag, $990

We all have those high-end fashion pieces we simply can’t stop dreaming about. Someone once told me if the same item keeps popping into your brain, that means you just gotta have it. I guess she wasn’t on a budget!

Not to worry, however! At FPD, our goal is to find pieces that mimic those luxury items we love. We’re pretty confident that you’ll be fully satisfied with our frugal finds. Go ahead, make the streets your runway. Because, after all, fashion should not be a privilege, but a passion! Check out our three comparable picks below, that we may end up liking even more than the Reed Krakoff original find!

[Juicy Couture Millie Saturday Soiree in Saddle, $152]

The white trim on the Juicy Couture Saddle above is so fresh!

[The Limited Saddle Shoulder Bag, $69.90]

This version from The Limited epitomizes practicality.

[Fossil Vintage Re-Issue Flap Crossbody Bag, $198 via Nordstrom.com]

Fossil’s ’70’s inspired take with a modern twist will work well for everyday.

I’m smitten with this adorable tan bag and it’s flap snap closure, and I’ve set my heart on getting something like it into my purse collection.

Is there an accessory you’ve been craving?

For the first time ever, we caught a glimpse of (gasp!) denim in the Proenza Schouler Resort 2013 Collection. Mix in some lime green and gray tweeds along with crisp black, white, and blue to get a color palette that’s what all of NYC will be yearning for, come next year. Hard leather brought in a strong contrast, yet was everything the collection needed when balancing the other over sized silhouettes. Slouchy pants can be paired with leather vests, round shouldered jackets, and straight skirts, and basic tees look casually cool under structured jackets.

A powerfyl, high voltage-style collection that is still pretty easy to wear is exactly what Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough had to showcase for this upcoming season.

Stay tuned, as the Madison Avenue Proenza Schouler store is also set to open next month, and the dynamic duo is additionally launching a small line of jewelry!

If The Row ruled the world, we’d all be wearing a lineup of timeless, yet androgynous, luxe clothing. Ribbed turtlenecks (yep, they’re coming back), slouchy trousers and cover-all maxi coats are crafted in gorgeous white, black, orangey-gold and a perfect shade of lavender. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s 26-years certainly project a highly advanced, sophisticated vision, with parkas, hoods and leggings kept things casual and contemporary. Downplayed, but not undervalued, this muted collection of luxury, elegance, and every day quite possibly defines why the twins recently won the Council of Fashion Designers of Aamerica’s Womenswear Designer of the Year Award.
