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?!)...

Super Stripes: Penelope Cruz's Saint Laurent Sweater and Over-the-Knee Boots Look for Less

Penelope Cruz fashion style for less
Penelope Cruz, the new face of Carpisa, arrived at the store in Milan to launch her new capsule collection co-created with sister Monica wearing a striped sweater and skinny jeans. At first I thought her outfit was awfully casual for a launch party but then realized she's wearing this Saint Laurent sweater, which costs $1,150 at barneys.com. I think that qualifies as fancy. What I love about this look is that we all have a striped sweater and skinny jeans, but it's those over-the-knee boots and her chic hat that take this outfit to the next level. Read on for our expertly curated look for less picks, plus 5 can't-miss sales to shop this morning!
