Self-Portrait. How could we have possibly missed out on covering this new and super coveted brand for so long? Sorry about that, folks. But before we head into showing you our best Self-Portrait steal finds, here are a few facts about the contemporary fashion label: it was founded in 2013 by Han Chong (also former creative director of Three Floor) and quickly gained red carpet and social media buzz shortly after, landing dress gigs with celebrities such as Reese Witherspoon and Miranda Kerr as well as personal style bloggers like Chiara Ferragni (The Blonde Salad) and Kristina Bazan (Kayture). The signature aesthetic of the London-based brand are feminine, romantic dresses and separates with lots of lace, embroidery and sheer overlays which have a surprisingly appealing price point: Dresses typically fall in the $500-$600 price range. And while I honestly applaud Han Chong for wanting to create a mid-priced fashion label with lots of attention to detail, $480 is still a lot of money for a lot of people (even though I'll admit the "Azaelea" dress pictured below looks like it's worth every penny of it). Keep on reading to find various stylish Self-Portrait dress alternatives for much less.
Self-Portrait Azaelea Midi Lace Dress
($480, Neiman Marcus)
P.S.: Also available at Hampden Clothing (only $435 here!), Forward by Elyse Walker, Bergdorf Goodman, Net-A-Porter, ASOS, Shopbop, Amazon, Selfridges, Matches Fashion, Luisaviaroma & Stylebop.

Charlotte Russe Strappy Crochet A-Line Dress
Update (05/12/2016): OMG STEAL DEAL ALERT! Look what I just discovered at Charlotte Russe: the perfect little white Self-Portrait Azaelea look-alike dress for a super steal price of just $54.99! Don't wait, buy now, this dress will sell out once the word is out. By the way, while browsing I also spotted a lovely shortened Azaelea dress dupe at Charlotte Russe for $39.99 which comes in 4 colors and is also available in plus sizes!
Charlotte Russe Strappy Crochet A-Line Dress
($54.99, Charlotte Russe)
Warehouse Lace Halter Dress
Update (05/12/2016): Came across another Azaelea dupe today at Warehouse. The neckline is different, but the rest of the design is pretty much identical.
Warehouse Lace Halter Dress
(£165, Warehouse)
P.S.: Also available at Warehouse (US), Warehouse (AU) & Warehouse (EU).
Club Monaco "Bolari" Midi Lace Dress
Update (05/08/2016): Spotted another great Self-Portrait Azaelea look-alike today! It's by Club Monaco, comes in either black or forest green and costs approx. half as much as the real deal ($219). Love the green version for redheads! What do you think? Btw, you can currently get 30% off all sale and clearance items at Club Monaco by entering promo code "WARMER" at checkout (offer valid through May 30, 2016 at 11:59pm PST).

Aqua Lace Cami Midi Dress
Update (04/29/2016): I think I just stumbled upon the best Self-Portrait Azaelea steal find yet! Check out this lovely $148 lace midi dress by Aqua which is available in either black or light blue and is $332 cheaper than the real deal. Shhhhhh, don't tell anyone, but Aqua has also various other great Self-Portrait look-alikes available here (e.g. this dress or this one or this one).
Aqua Lace Cami Midi Dress
($148, Bloomingdale's)
bebe Cotton Eyelet Dress
Update (04/28/2016): Just spotted this Self-Portrait inspired summer dress at bebe. It has obviously some major differences (e.g. different pattern and length), but the bodice clearly gives away where the inspiration for this dress came from.

($159, bebe)
LuLu*s Pinnacle of Prestige Lace Midi Dress
If you can't afford spending half a grand on a flirty summer dress, here's our best steal find (yet!) which I discovered at LuLu*s some time ago. And I would've showed you this lovely $64 lace midi dress some time ago already, but it kept selling out so fast – restock after restock – that I didn't even have enough time to finish up this blog post before this dress was completely sold out again, so I patiently waited until it got restocked for what feels like the tenth time now and for the first time it didn't sell out in the first 60 minutes. Yay! However, this dress is obviously still wildly popular, so I wouldn't wait too long with buying. Who knows if it'll be restocked for an eleventh time?
LuLu*s Pinnacle of Prestige Lace Midi Dress
($64, LuLu*s)
H&M Lace Dress
Another gorgeous Self-Portrait Azaelea alternative is this lace midi dress by H&M. It's
currently only available in yellow (also comes in white now), but it does look lovely and so similar to the real deal, right? I know $129 seems oddly expensive for an H&M dress, but be rest assured, I actually ordered this dress myself and it is worth its money, the fit is flattering and the quality is good. So if you're a fan of yellow summer dresses, this one is a great buy!
H&M Lace Dress
Jessica Buurman "Adice" Flower Embellished Cami Dress
Deal: Free worldwide shipping on all orders! Sign up to the Jessica Buurman newsletter and get a 10% off coupon!
And of course, where there's a trend Jessica Buurman can't be too far away. The design of their "Adice" dress is very close to the real deal (including the colors), but I can't tell for sure whether it's worth paying over $100 for, especially since I found various other dresses from similar Asian merchants for much less (see links below).
Jessica Buurman "Adice" Flower Embellished Cami Dress
($119-$130, Jessica Buurman)
P.S.: Similar dress options are available by Choies and Persun (both via Amazon).
Free People South Of The Equator Midi Dress
OK, now this Self-Portrait steal find kind of irritates me. Don't get me wrong: I love Free People and I looooove designer dupes. But what I don't understand is how you can blatantly copy a $480 dress and then sell your own copied version for a whopping $300, thus making both dresses compete in the same price range? Now that's a little shameless, isn't it? Even for blatant copycats. Anyway, I still wanted to include this dress option because it does look a lot like the real deal and it is in fact still $180 cheaper than the original, so if you're OK with paying that much money for a copycat design, feel free to do so.
Free People South Of The Equator Midi Dress
($300, Free People)

A report by Bloomberg News suggested that Elliott Associates planned to buy Novell then potentially sell off some or all of the pieces. But a March 11 statement from Elliott Associates denied the report:
"The story that Bloomberg ran today was inaccurate," the firm said. "Elliott has made no statement with respect to its intent regarding Novell. Elliott wants to own the company. Elliott has no plans to sell any business units and to report anything else would be erroneous."
No Deal (At Least Not Yet...)Of course, Elliott Associates first needs to "acquire" Novell before the hedge fund can actually decide to do with the company's various assets -- which range from SUSE Linux to identity and access management and data center software.
Novell has confirmed that it is evaluating an unsolicited takeover bid from Elliott Associates; the bid is valued at about $2 billion. The VAR Guy continues to believe that Novell will provide an update before BrainShare 2010 starts March 21 in Salt Lake City, Utah. If Novell doesn't offer an update, the takeover bid could become a major distraction for Novell, partners, customers and annoying anonymous bloggers attending BrainShare.
The VAR Guy has also wondered if a white knight -- IBM, HP, Microsoft, Oracle, or CA Inc. -- would emerge to buy Novell. But the best potential fit on that list -- CA, which has a bunch of security and system management synergies with Novell -- seems to be out of the running, The VAR Guy believes.
The reason: CA just opened its wallet to acquire Nimsoft, the managed services software provider, for $350 million. The VAR Guy doubts CA would open its wallet even wider only a few days later to buy Novell.
Still, stranger things have happened in the software market.

Pizza Pot Pie
Conceived by the owner in his Chicago Law Office while Dreaming of "il gran giorno" when he would open his restaurant, the Pizza Pot Pie has become a favorite of world-wide pizza connoisseurs who have graced the Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder Company since its inception in 1972. The Pizza Pot Pie is an individual serving, "made from scratch" with triple-raised Sicilian bread-type dough; a homemade sauce consisting of olive oil, fresh garlic, onions, green peppers, whole plum tomatoes and a special blend of cheeses; sausage made from prime Boston butts; and doorknob-size, whole, fresh mushrooms. (Vegetarian pizza pot pie may be special ordered.)

"Before the meal"...a cheerful, colorful, and appetizing variety of the splendid Italian version of hors d'oeuvres.

About Us
If buildings could talk, the narrow three-story brick structure at 2121 North Clark Street, Chicago, could tell quite a tale: genteel youth, evil middle age, fiery holocaust - and rebirth. No one seems to know just when the old house was built, but there are distinct traces of Victorian gentility in its brownstone front, its second-story entrance reached by a flight of stone steps and its high ceilinged, narrow-windowed formality.

Lawmaker questions low Medal of Honor count
"I'm not a fan of single factor analysis," Jacobs said. "There are lots of reasons why things occur and that is only one of them. Human attitudes also play a great role."
Jacobs, a military analysis at MSNBC, predicted the war in Afghanistan will involve more of the kind of close combat that leads to Medal of Honors being awarded.
It's unclear exactly how many soldiers have been nominated for the award from the two wars. But, seven have made it all the way to the secretary of defense, and six were approved. The exception is Sgt. Rafael Peralta of San Diego, Calif. Hunter said the Peralta case shows that a higher standard is being used for the medal than in previous wars.
Peralta died on Nov. 15, 2004, during fierce fighting in Fallujah, Iraq. The military's investigation showed he was probably hit by friendly fire from a member of his unit as they engaged insurgents inside a house.
Witnesses said Peralta, a Mexican immigrant who became a U.S. citizen while in the Marines, fell to the ground face-first after being shot in the crossfire. A fleeing insurgent threw a hand grenade into the room, which bounced off a couch and landed near Peralta's head.
"Sgt. Peralta grabbed the grenade and pulled it underneath him while we took cover," said an unidentified soldier whose name is redacted as part of the investigative file the military released publicly.
Peralta's nomination was sent back for further investigation after a preliminary autopsy report stated the head wound would have been immediately incapacitating and "he could not have executed any meaningful motions."
In the end, Lt. General Richard F. Natonski, stuck with his recommendation: "I believe Sergeant Peralta made a conscious, heroic decision to cover the grenade and minimize the effects he knew it would have on the rest of his Marine team."
Gates assemble an independent panel to review the nomination – something he did not do in the other six cases sent his way. The reviewers included a former commanding general, a Medal of Honor recipient, a neurosurgeon and two pathologists.
"The reviewers each individually concluded that the evidence did not meet the exacting 'no doubt' standard necessary to support award of the MOH," Gates said in a letter to Hunter.
Robert Reynolds, a lance corporal at the time, was about three to five feet behind Peralta when the grenade exploded. He has no doubt that Peralta purposefully attempted to place the grenade underneath himself to save others.
"It wasn't just something he barely did. He physically reached out and pulled it into his body," said Reynolds, 31, and now a corrections office and father of two daughters in Ritzville, Wash.
In the end, Peralta received the Navy Cross, the branch's second highest honor. Several California lawmakers have petitioned President Barack Obama to order a review of Peralta's case. AMVETS said all recipients of the second-highest honor for bravery for their branch of the military should have their case reviewed to determine if their actions merit the Medal of Honor.
Hunter said he's also concerned that no living soldier from Iraq or Afghanistan has earned the Medal of Honor.
"Having fewer of them is like depleting our national treasures," Hunter said.
But there are also concerns that meddling by Congress could lessen the significance of the medal.
"You don't want this group here determining what's courageous and what's not," Hunter said, referring to his fellow federal lawmakers. "You want that left up to the military. The problem is the military is not stepping up on this."
