How I was inspired by Net-a-Porter's Travel selections to create my travel look

My look is the one on the left. I saw it and it screamed moi:) But, I of course had to create with what I had at home:) So, here's what I did:
Pants: American Apparel Harem Leggings
Poncho: Walmart Poncho-I didn't see anymore like this today at the store...
What I added: a gray tank-from Forever 21, Racer Back...
The comfy Ballet flats: Me Too's from Stems a Shoe Boutique
The Bag: Isaac Mizrahi for Liz Claiborne, I got it when prices dropped. So worth the cash. I have to make sure I can carry my mags on the flight:)
The funky scarf: I got lucky! I am an Alpha Shopper for LUCKY magazine and I was sent a LOFT Ann Taylor package to review and it included an AMAZING new scarf!:)
Travel Extra: I just found a new great site that helps travelers with carrying their must-have beauty items that won't get you in trouble for carrying on, the site is called, 3FLOZ and it's genius! Check it out!:)

CopyCat at Target and ALDO

The shoe that started this all---I saw a lady at an Indian restaurant wearing these shoes that were GORGEOUS and by Indian designer, Rohit Bal....I couldn't find them anywhere and was going to give up until I saw a spitting image of the shoe at Target.  Then, came the comparison story below:)

I went to Target last night and was AMAZED by how many shoes look like the (original) styles from Stems a Shoe Boutique...it is CRAZY how so many brands like Target shoe brands, ALDO and Steve Madden create styles that are similar to others...except for the 8 changes needed to ensure that the company will not be sued...in this economy it is nice to have styles at an accessible price, and yes, I do wish that styles like the L.A.M.B. I dream of was somewhere out there...but, where does one draw the line???
