Get the Luxe Look

Fashion designers aren’t the only ones cashing in on the “recessionista fashionista” craze. Top-of-the-line jewelers are jumping on the bandwagon, too.

From Kenneth Jay Lane to Tacori to Erickson Beamon, these high-end accessory staples are helping to bring the lavish life — complete with blinged out knock-offs of their designer lines — to the “Average Jane.”

But don’t expect gaudy, bedazzled (read: tacky) pieces, either. This stuff could pass for the real deal. And for a girl on a budget, these low-end versions are perfection.

Check out a few of Stylin’ & Profilin’s top picks:
