Eva Longoria-Parker always manages to look glamorous, no matter what she’s wearing; and this “look for less” is no exception. Eva has a knack for mixing-and-matching high and low pieces flawlessly–check out the fabulous $40 Old Navy Safari jacket she’s wearing in the photo alongside her $158 J Brand jeans and a $895 Gerard Darel bag .
The Old Navy jacket is a good deal, but I found a just-as-chic one at Target.com for only $15! The skinny jeans featured here are also reasonably priced at $40, but if you have a higher budget, you can always swap them out for designer duds like Eva’s J Brand jeans (which are flattering for gals with curvy figures.) Shop Target, American Eagle, Charlotte Russe, and Walmart to get this celebrity look for less!

Make sure you set your Tivos for this one! National Geographic Explorer, Dan Buettner, author of The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who’ve Lived the Longest is going to be featured on the Oprah Winfrey show, airing today, 11/25!

As you are all pretty much aware, every book Oprah Winfrey touches turns to gold — or at least goes on to become a must read! In addition to this exciting news, get the book for only $15 (normally $26) with any purchase — this is the best deal you’ll find online, as it will probably be selling out really fast for the holidays!

On the 20th of November, JR and I hosted Vogue’s signature event, titled Evenings in Vogue at the Gansevoort South Hotel. One thing that is great about living in Miami is the fact that we have great weather year-round! The evening of Evenings in Vogue was no exception, as the weather was fabulous and so were our friends and co-hosts, Jason and Michelle Rubell and Mark and Alison Zhuk. Enjoy pictures from this wonderful evening!
