Flare Up: Emma Roberts' Satin Blouse and Crop Flare Jeans Look for Less

Emma Roberts look for less
Emma Roberts has a knack for putting together chic looks with an alternative edge. Case in point: This demure button-down blouse and crop flare jeans ensemble. It's an otherwise simple look made noteworthy thanks to the unique silhouette of her denim and red velvet block heels by Topshop (sold out). While Emma's Gucci Soho Leather Disco Bag alone costs $980, our look for less will get you there with picks starting at just $7.99. Read on for details...

In the Mix: Miranda Kerr's Camel Coat and Navy Sweater Look for Less

Miranda Kerr's airport style look for less
What's not to love about Miranda Kerr's winter airport style? First, there's the expert juxtaposition of old-meets-new with her classic wool coat and sweater, plus modern leggings and sneaks. Then there's the color palette of black, navy and camel - subtle without being boring. Finally, her accessory game is on fleek, from her Isabel Marant sneaks to her Givenchy 'Shark' bag which sells for $2,590 at net-a-porter.com. (Granted, the look for less I found is more of a Celine Trapeze bag dupe, but I think it works!) We're in love, basically, and think you should take notes, too. Read on to snag Miranda's complete outfit on a real girl's budget...

Bomber Babe: Gigi Hadid's Olive Jacket and Leggings Look for Less

Gigi Hadid's look for less
Does an olive green bomber jacket qualify as a Christmas color? If so, model Gigi Hadid is perfectly festive in her Alpha Industries jacket and Hurley leggings (similar). We love how she kept the rest of her sporty ensemble sleek in monochromatic black, from her Saint Laurent Monogram Matelasse bag to her Filling Pieces x Ronnie sneakers. Cop the look for less after the jump...

Shaggy Chic: Heidi Klum's Faux Fur Coat and Ripped Jeans Look for Less

Heidi Klum Look for Less
Heidi Klum looks long and lean in this all black ensemble featuring one of the season's hottest trends, faux fur. Heidi's furry coat adds dimension to an oversized black tee and washed-out ripped jeans, while her black booties and retro glasses add even more character to a basic look. We are in love with how chic Heidi looks in the monochromatic pairings and are obsessed with the shaggy faux fur. Heidi's Elizabeth and James Iris Boyfriend Coat retails for a whopping $695, but our similar longline piece is on sale for just $48.99! Read on to get the look for less...

Fall Outfit Idea: Preppy Duck Boot Inspiration from Pinterest

Duckboots outfit inspiration
Thanks to Pinterest I discovered this preppy-chic way to wear your duck boots this winter, and thanks to Instagram I learned that the "model" behind this outfit is @mh_bennett, as seen on Back Down South (yay social media!). I pinned the look and immediately set to work looking for items I'd need to recreate this ensemble for myself...and judging by the number of "likes" I'd say many of you are feeling inspired by this look, too. It's sporty and practical but oozes classic New England style. Meredith is wearing a J.Crew jacket, Levi's shirt and jeans and L.L.Bean duck boots (you can get all the details on her exact outfit at Back Down South). Read on for my "look for less" picks...
