 La La Vasquez Anthony! From her start on MTV in the TRL days to her new VH1 reality show, La La's Full Court Life, we can't get enough. La La is not only charming and beautiful, but a fashion icon to boot!

Looking soft yet stylish, La La's cover for Latina Magazine's April 2012 issue showcases the best in Spring pastels. But since it's summer, we've decided to go with bright, bold colors in our style steal.

Options: (See below for photos of the new look)

• Yellow Blazer: A bold yellow blazer is sure to turn heads. Forever 21's 3/4 Sleeve Single Breasted Blazer ($32.80) offers the same structure as La La's with a deeper yellow, fit for summer time.
• Striped Skirt: This Jack by BB Dakota Camilla Striped Skirt for $39.99 from American Outfitters showcases thin horizontal stripes in yellow, white and royal blue. The boxed pleating along the waist hugs tight and shows off that hourglass figure.
• White Camisole: You can get a cami from just about anywhere. The key is to make sure it is crisp, clean, and white like this Old Navy Cami for $7.50. Simply tuck it in to the skirt and you've got a necessary detail for cheap.
• Accessories: What sets this look off are the bright, teal earrings La La is wearing with the matching cocktail ring. Check out this ASOS And Mary Jewel Square Cocktail Ring in bright, royal blue for $13.26. Also check out these Neon Popper earrings in blue for $10. They dangle just like La La's and match the And Mary Ring perfectly! 
• Shoes: We don't know what shoes La La was wearing, what do you think? Tell me in the comment section what shoes you'd wear with this look! 

Total Cost: $103 (add tax & shipping)

Evelyn Lozada: Basketball Wives Season 4 Reunion

Photo Credit Tumblr

Who can forget Evelyn Lozada from Basketball Wives? While her attitude is unforgettable, so is her style!

At the Basketball Wives Season 4 Reunion, Evelyn shocked the crowd in this stunning, custom Jason Sky black crop top and teal maxi skirt. And to top it all off, she stepped out in a jaw-dropping pair of $3,995 Christian Louboutin Isolde 160mm Platforms.


As we all would love to have a great designer such as Jason Sky create custom looks for us, we (including yours truly), can't always (and by always I mean never) afford it.

 

 Challenge: Recreate Evelyn Lozada's custom crop and maxi.

Budget: $75.00 (excluding shoes)

Options: (See below for photos of the new look)

• Crop Top: Crop tops, a.k.a the new cami, have become a staple in a fashionable closet! ASOS has a great 3/4 sleeve, River Island Cut Out black crop top for just $16.97. Why it works: You want to let your statement piece shine and let your supporting pieces, well support. The cute, color, and sleeve length match Evelyn's top. The only difference is that her shirt has a cute zipper on the back, and even though this does not, it has some pops of skin, adding a great detail to the otherwise basic top.

• Maxi Skirt: Who doesn't love a great maxi skirt? And this color is to die for! With this skirt, you have a few options; go with a bold color or unique cut. Forever 21 has a cute, green High-Low Woven Skirt that can almost mimic Evelyn's custom skirt for a mere $22.80. Another great option: Ditch this green for a popping red Forever 21 Split Pleated Maxi Skirt for 19.80. Although we love the green, this great red has the split to show some skin, paired with an show stopping, bright color. Changing the color of this skirt allows you to bring in your personal taste while still maintaining this fabulous look!

• Accessories: Evelyn has a unique cuff that has some detail to it yet is understated enough to enhance, not take away from, her look. Aldo has great jewelry. Here's a simple yet interesting Waroway Gold Cuff for $15. If you have one in your jewelry collection, even better! The last accessory you'd need is a pair of over-sized gold hoops! We all have seen the huge 'Basketball Wives gold hoops' the ladies wear on the show but opt for something big, yet simple. If you don't have a pair, check your local beauty supply store or these simple, $6 Oversized Etched Hoop Earrings from Charlotte Russe.

• Shoes: As much as we would love to own those Louboutin heels, that doesn't fit into our budget! Shoes typically aren't budget friendly but a nice pair of black stilettos will do the trick to complete this look. If you're willing to spend a little extra money, these Chinese Laundry Missing You Platform Sandals are worth the extra pennies for $66.04. Find a unique, spiked out shoe in black or silver and this look is complete! 

Total Cost:  $60.77 (add tax and shipping)
