I believe in affordable fashion. You don't have to spend a lot of money to achieve a luxe look. For trendy pieces, you could fulfill your impulses with deals at Forever 21, H&M, Target, American Apparel, J Crew, and Urban Outfitters. I also love to peruse the net for deals on various websites including Shopbop.com and eBay.
Below are some great finds that could easily add luxe to any look.

*Best layering T-shirt ever... seriously no joke. I am always on the hunt for THE Perfect T and this is a staple. Comes in other colors too.

Great staple and at this price it's a steal.

Cool bracelets/cuffs/necklaces. This is another easy and inexpensive way to dress up any look. Under $10... cannot tell. Thank you Forever 21.
