Emma Roberts indulged in a little retail therapy wearing a comfy grey peplum top, boyfriend jeans and Vince Camuto 'Mitchell' loafers for a put-together yet somewhat offbeat look that we're loving. We winterized her ensemble by swapping the tee for a peplum jacket. And we appreciate that her exact shoes are under $100! Read on for the complete look for less, plus some of the best Cyber Monday sales so you can partake in a little retail therapy yourself...

Fall Outfit Pinspiration: Check Shirt, Fur Vest, Hunter Wellies

Fall outfit inspiration featuring check shirt, fur vest and Hunter wellies
As soon as I discovered fashion blogger Lauren McBride (who also happens to be a Connecticut-based blogger and second-time new mom like myself), I was hooked on her relatable yet enviable style. This outfit - which is all over Pinterest - is a perfect example of her style: A mix of classic and cool, from the check shirt, to the on-trend faux fur vest, to the classic never-goes-out-of-style rain boots. To recreate her look for less, I found all the pieces I needed at Target. Finish the casual fall ensemble with some cozy leg warmers like this pair at Payless (just $6.49) and beanie ($7.49).



See how fashion blogger Brighton Keller wears a faux fur vest.

Dark Angel: Martha Hunt's Leather and Faux Fur Jacket Look for Less

Martha Hunt Look For Less
One of our favorite Victoria's Secret Angels, Martha Hunt, recently walked the city streets in this black and denim ensemble and gave us serious style envy. We love this edgy look since it strays far from her usual style, and her leg-lengthening booties and biker jacket are to die for. The original Isabel Marant Sade Booties retail for $1,385 but in our recreation we found similar shoes from Franco Sarto for $79! Read on to see the rest of our finds and get this look for less...

Cara Santana Look for Less
Morning coffee runs have never looked so stylish. Actress and style blogger Cara Santana of CaraDisclothed stepped out in this look that pairs oversized sweats with hints of leather...and we are in love. The addition of her moto jacket, retro sunglasses and classically cool patent loafers takes her loungewear look from 'lazy sunday' to 'rocker chic'. We're also obsessed with her pink pom keychain; it adds such a subtle whimsical touch and we found a near exact match! Read on to get this look for less, with pieces starting at just $12...

Throwback Thursday: Rachel Bilson's Gray Blazer and Striped Shirt Look for Less

Rachel Bilson's striped shirt, gray blazer and fur cuff boots look for less
Although we don't see much of Rachel Bilson these days in celebrity news, the actress and new mom used to be one of our favorite celebs for streetstyle inspiration with her girl-next-door fashion sense that's approachable and chic. Here, she's paired a gray blazer with a striped tee, darkwash jeans and shearling cuffed boots. The bright bag adds a touch of color that's perfect for fall. And can you believe this photo was snapped back in 2009? Yup, and it's still just as cute and wearable today as it was back then. Read on to recreate this look for less (the handbag we found is just $12.97 at groupon.com, who knew?!)...
