Jenna Bush’s wedding dress probably cost several thousand dollars, but more economically-conscious brides can still have designer style at an affordable price.  Lela Rose’s reasonably priced shoe line is just one of the many options for regular brides interested in celebrity style.

Other upscale fashion design names are introducing new lines at discount stores.  It started with Isaac Mizrahi’s line of clothes at Target, which has been drawing in the budget-minded but still fashion-conscious for five years.  Mizrahi left Target in 2008 to work as creative director for Liz Claiborne, but the concept of getting high fashion style at a discount price is still going strong.

Now many popular fashion designers have discount lines.  Vera Wang has Simply Vera for Kohl’s.  Max Azria has Walmart’s To The Max label.  Even “Project Runway” winner Christian Siriano has a shoe line at Payless.

All of these lines have something in common:  They understand the current market.  Consumers can’t afford to spend thousands of dollars on a dress, but they still want to wear the same style of clothing as their favorite celebrities (or the former President’s daughter).

Besides clothing, another way to the live the celebrity lifestyle without a superstar’s bankroll is to try out exotic car rental.  Instead of plunking down a six-figure sum of money for an exotic vehicle, many people are choosing to rent an exotic car.

Exotic car rental saves on more than just the purchase price of a vehicle.  There’s also a significant savings when it comes to maintenance, insurance, and other fees associated with owning an exotic car.

Another great option is joining an exotic car sharing club.  Members of exotic car clubs share an entire garage of exotic vehicles, and they don’t have to worry about the hassles of ownership.

Regardless of how they choose to do it, consumers are eager to get a little celebrity lifestyle, especially if it can be had at a reasonable price.  You no longer have to be a movie star to wear a Vera Wang dress and drive a Bentley.
