Filling Pinterest boards and Urban Outfitters’ display windows since last fall, the sherpa coat trend isn’t leaving Cosmo anytime soon. Instead of dishing out $70 on the popular Urban Outfitters sherpa I recommend the shockingly similar yet significantly cheaper Amazon jacket. While I know buying on Amazon can sometimes be a little sketchy, trust me when I say this coat is sure to keep you warm throughout this upcoming cold season. The only downside? This dupe doesn’t have the drawstring bottom the UO version offers.
I think we can all agree that Lululemon leggings are the best mix of comfortable and cute, but it’s hard to justify the $6 that are left in my bank account after shelling out a hundred dollars for one pair of them. I wear my Lulu leggings until every seam has fallen apart to rationalize the cost. But now, thanks to an alternative brand, CRZ Yoga, I can save the 70-or-so dollars. The brand expand on my legging color palette without compromising the quality, using just an hour or two of babysitting pay.
If I’m pairing my phone with a case straight from the Apple store, I know the quality will be seamless. But the $40 price tag made me jump out of my typical phone case comfort zone of buying based off brand reliability to try a knock-off case from Amazon — this time for only $12.99. Providing me with the same silky silicone feeling, the Amazon case offers a more protective bottom compared to the Apple original.
The Anthropologie initial necklace –– you know the one I’m talking about –– has been put on and taken off my Christmas list more times than I can count. I just can’t seem to legitimize the $40 price tag. After finding this Amazon version, I couldn’t wait to wear it and see if anyone noticed any difference –– which no one outwardly did. The gold accessory will top off any outfit this holiday season the same way the Anthropologie necklace would, without leaving you with an empty wallet.
