When we first learned that Jimmy Choo was set to create a lower-priced line for H&M, we couldn’t wait to see the results. And now, we finally have a closer look at what will be hitting stores this November. The luxury shoe brand has expanded into clothing for its H&M collaboration, and one key piece will be this black sequined cardigan, $129. But don’t think they forget the accessories! We are especially loving the rocker-chic Claire black bag with diamond star, $99, and the bright pink plastic Kase bag, $60 — the perfect way to add a pop to your fall wardrobe. We can hardly wait to see the rest of the collection, prices ranging from $30-$299, which will hit H&M stores on Saturday, November 14.Tell us: Will you wait in line for the Jimmy Choo for H&M collection?

Glitz and glamour might be the go-to descriptions for New York Fashion Week, but for Entourage darling Emmanuelle Chriqui, it’s cheap and chic that go hand in hand. “There’s a blazer that I’ve been wearing and that I’ve been photographed in at least 10 times. It’s my blazer of the season — and I bought it for just nine bucks!” Emmanuelle told PEOPLE at the Kiehl’s Karnival event during Fashion’s Night Out. “I have no ego about it, and I think it’s great,” she says. “I spend a lot of time on Melrose and La Brea in L.A.,” she continues. “I love bargain-hunting and there are just so many awesome shops.” The jet-setter is a little less enthusiastic, however, about traveling between New York and L.A., but all her coast-hopping has led her to discover the secret to staying comfort on the road. “I always travel with my bed pillow,” she said. “And I bring an extra pillow case in my suitcase so as soon as I get off the plane I can change it. It’s a little piece of home, and I travel a lot, so it’s very necessary.” Emmanuelle also tells us that she approaches her beauty routine with the same laid-back attitude: “Getting sleep, drinking lots of water, that’s what works,” she says.

Who says that stars don’t love a bargain? Celebrities and bargain-hunters alike enjoyed frenetic, elbows-out shopping at the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund’s 12th annual Super Saturday, which took place at Nova’s Ark Project in Water Mill. Power shopper Barbara Walters was one of the first to peruse merchandise as the gates opened at noon. By 3:20 pm, a booth stocked with Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s The Row was “sold out,” according to an announcer on a loudspeaker. “I took the last three shirts,” mentioned Kelly Ripa. She had on a flowing patterned dress by Etro that she said she had fallen in love with when Nicole Richie was on her show in a similar design. “I’m proud of [The Row],” said Ripa. “They have a vision. I got whatever was left over in my size.” Hosted by Blake Lively and Ripa, rows of booths covered by colorful straw umbrellas offered up high fashion — Donna Karan, Calvin Klein, Diane von Furstenberg, Armani, Ralph Lauren, and Tory Burch — at rock bottom prices to benefit the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund. Nearby, Gayle King assessed the deals. “The shopping is good,” she told PEOPLE. “I don’t need one thing, but I’m a girl who loves a bargain, so I wore comfortable shoes. You’re shopping for a good cause, but it’s the thrill of the hunt. I just got a Carolina Herrera dress that was $1790 for $350. I have no idea where I’m going to wear it, but it doesn’t matter!” With beau Jason Hoppy and dog Cookie at her side, Bethenny Frankel of The Real Housewives of New York City was looking to cover up at the beach. “I bought a Michael Kors bathing suit called a “swimming dress,” she mentioned.
