Welcome to the second installment of a new series I’m trying out: Steal That Style!, where I feature a celebrity’s recent outfit and break it down into the Steal-able (that is, similar pieces that are affordable) and the DIY-able. Let me know what you guys think – I’d love your feedback!
Frieda Pinto attended the Salvatore Ferragamo Resort presentation on Wednesday of this week in a sweet and simple summery outfit. The breezy, understated chicness of this outfit is made complete by a scarf wrap top. Simple to do, easy the emulate – here’s how to get the same look for a whole lot less:
How to Get Her Look
Stylish Steals
Belt: River Island Lock Detail Belt, $43, ASOS.com.
Shoes: Madden Girl Epcott Wedge Sandal
, $49 or Aerosoles Plush Around Wedge Sandal
, $33, both Amazon.com.
DIY Deals
Top: This summery scarf top can easily be recreated with a silk scarf you may already own. Using this Hermes scarf knotting guide as reference, fashion into a halter top (see bottom right). For the ends that go around your neck, make an X with them at your collarbone and pull the ends tightly behind your neck for Frieda Pinto’s fitted style.
Skirt: If you can’t find an affordable white skirt a a store or in a thrift shop, make your own using BurdaStyle Pattern 02/201 #124B. Add 1.5″-wide belt loops as well to fully emulate the look.
Proof that you don’t need a celeb’s money to look like a million bucks!

Just a project I’ve been working on that I still haven’t finished. I started it the week before coming to Tokyo but just didn’t have the time to get it done. I had hoped to wear it here…but I’m not sure if I want all this beading work to get sticky/sweaty in the humidity.
Just one more beaded square to finish up…then I sew it on…then what? We’ll have to wait and see!;-)

Miu Miu Spring 2011 RTW, photo: Monica Feudi / GoRunway.com vs. Kaena Point Indigo Blue Dress, $49, Lulu.com
I loved the scalloping detail in Miu MIu’s Spring RTW collection this year. Apparently someone else did too.;-) Thanks to Lulus.com, we can all now own the scalloped-edge dress in a deep indigo, similar to what we saw at Miu Miu. (the scallop detail is covered cord in the Lulus version, whereas the Miu Miu looks like vinyl)
As a side note, I find the name of the dress amusing as Kaena Point is just beyond Hub and my favorite place in the whole wide world: where our secret beach lies at the tip of Yokohama bay on Oahu.
