One of the great things about Instagram is the chance to discover cool new stores and small boutiques. That's how I stumbled upon Mindy Mae's Market, and the amazing gingham shirt you see featured above. It's a dead-ringer for Vineyard Vines' classic gingham button down, the perfect summer top for days when you want to look cute but still feel comfortable (which is basically every day!) Pair it with the obvious (cut-offs and cognac accessories) or go for something more unexpected, say a pencil skirt and slides (so J.Crew). Either way you can't go wrong - and you'll save $48 if you opt for the look for less (it's just $39.99 and comes in pink, green, navy, gold, purple or red!)

Stella McCartney's snake-effect platform sandals ($650, netaporter.com) are the perfect mod-nod to the spring runways. Pair with breezy minimalist frocks for a cool downtown vibe. But don't let the pricetag keep you from trying this look. Everyone's favorite high-street store has a similar look for $99.90. Can you guess which sandals cost more?

Nothing says summer like palm leaf prints on a cute pair of shorts, skirt or romper. Just take a peek at fashion blogger Song of Style's palm-print shorts and button-down shirt look, or Bows & Sequins' palm-print shorts and blazer outfit for inspiration. Rebecca Minkoff's adorable Valencia shorts are $198 at rebeccaminkoff.com, but you can get a taste of the tropics for just $29.94 elsewhere (plus 35% off regular priced styles with code PERFECT).

The blogger behind Sincerely Jules created a line of cool message tees, including the 'Célfie' tee you see here ($49, revolveclothing.com). Basically, everyone has/wants/needs one. Recently I spotted a look for less at my favorite big-box store (and yes, I confess, I bought it) that retails for $12.99 and comes in plus-size, too. (Use code MEM30 to save 30% off the lookalike.)

Thanks to a tip from alert reader and fellow blogger Niki at Cheapalicious, I discovered a great Steve Madden look for less - the two pairs are nearly identical! Except, that is, for the price. The "real" is $45 at shoes.com (or $25 at Marshalls, see this post for an in-store photo) while the look for less is $19.99 (plus 30% off with code MEM30). And it comes in black, tan or white (see my in-store pic here). I love this style for hot summer days because you don't have to sacrifice style for comfort.
