Ahhh, it’s one of the most exciting times of the year…awards season! Grammys, Golden Globes and Oscars, oh my!

Here at CouponCabin, we love the awards part as much as the next guy but the real excitement is the award show fashion. Celebrities get showered with free designer dresses, incredible shoes and handbags but unfortunately, we aren’t that lucky. And certainly no one has ever offered to lend us millions of dollars of diamonds.

If you’re hitting some parties this awards season and don’t know what to wear, we put together some tips to help you dress like a celebrity without spending like one.

• Step up your makeup game. Need inspiration? Head to YouTube and Pinterest, where you’ll find video tutorials for all kinds of makeup looks and hairstyles. Follow the CouponCabin Hair & Beauty board for tons of tips and tricks.

• Stop by one of the makeup counters at a local department store for a free makeup application, then hit up a drugstore for similar (but cheaper!) products to recreate the look.

• Shop for classic styles of clothing and shoes that will be fashionable every season. Then, buy on-trend accessories and you’ll look chic and trendy without spending a lot of money.
