There are a lot of options as far as style, size, and price point with both of these items. When choosing new vanity mirrors and light fixtures, you will find that there are many budget-friendly options available, particularly online. (OR a better option!

Vanity Mirrors:

Mirrors are trendy decorating items. This is because they are a great combination of form and function and they are easily coordinated with just about any look that you have created. When choosing a mirror, think about the style that is already going on in the room; do you want to complement the style or are you looking add to the style? This will determine the level of decoration you look for in your new mirror.
If you want to accent an already well-established palette, a very simple mirror will do. A frameless mirror can really open up a space and make it feel brighter without adding a heavy stylistic quality.

There is also a large selection of mirrors with simple frames in silver, gold, wood, and more.
If your goal is to add style to the room, the look at mirrors with highly decorative frames or that are available in interesting shapes. For a contemporary feel, look geometric patterns, for a classic look shop mirrors with wide solid wood frames, there are man options available to you.

As said above, mirrors mean form and function, so they are a practical purchase, too. Think of how you're going to use them on a daily basis. This will help you decide on what is best for your project, bathroom mirrors aren't just over-vanity styles, full-length is always an option too.

Lighting Fixtures:

Each time you're remodeling your bathroom, an essential decision to make is concerning your bathroom light fixture. Think about the size of the room, and if the vanity light is the only light in the room or if there are other lighting sources. Would a single bathroom vanity light fixture do or do you need multiple bathroom light fixtures? You can choose from a wide variety of designs, such as ceiling, pendant, flush fixtures, and candle wall sconces.

If you spend a considerable amount of time each day doing your hair or putting on make up in the bathroom, you already know of the need for good quality lighting. You'll find a large selection of lighting online too, so shop around and ask lots of questions and you're sure to find just what you want and need and something that fits nicely into your budget.
