I've always felt that at the heart of every woman's wardrobe is a great pair of jeans and a crisp white tee. The pieces can be styled in any way and fit into every budget. Molly Sims rocks the two pieces in this classic look by pairing them with a tailored blazer, black sandals, gold aviators and a cognac leather bag. One of my favorite styling tips is pairing a blazer with denim - it instantly elevates an outfit with just a touch of sophistication...plus, adding a structured handbag like Molly makes it even more chic!

Nothing brightens up an outfit like a bold pop of color. Reese Witherspoon nailed the trend earlier this week when she added matching cerulean shoes and bag to a neutral toned look. Reese styled her blue hues with a mustard moto jacket, flare trousers, a light striped top, elongated gold chain necklace and a pair of mirror-lens sunnies. I love the combination of colors in this outfit, and while I'm usually not a huge fan of yellow pieces I'm obsessed with her moto jacket. We found an amazing replica from Missguided for $68!

Karlie Kloss served us some serious inspiration with her latest look, in which she paired her coat with a simple grey shirt, navy wide-leg trousers, wayfarer sunglasses and coordinating blue adidas original sneakers. Adidas brand is having a major moment, from Stan Smith styles as seen on Nicky Hilton Rothschild, Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner to Karlie's adidas Skateboarding Seeley Premiere.

The denim skirt is making a major comeback and this distressed knee-length pencil skirt has to be one of my favorite styles that I've seen for spring!

City Chic: Zoe Kravitz's Black Trench Coat and Flare Jeans Look for Less

Zoe Kravitz Look for Less
Zoe Kravitz looks effortlessly pulled together in this perfect spring transitional look that doesn't stray far from her cool-girl comfort zone. She's mixed a graphic tee with the season's new flare leg jean and a crisp black trench coat for a polished look with a little edge. Sexy ankle strap heels allow her to show some skin and a fresh pedi, something we're all craving when the weather starts to warm up! I've started watching snippets of Style Code Live, a new show by Amazon that streams weeknights at 9 pm ET, and they recently talked about adding volume for spring - think wide leg pants and bell sleeves in lieu of skinny jeans and bodycon silhouettes. I can totally embrace that in small doses just like Zoe has done with her look. Read on to get my spring trench recommendation (it's under $100) plus her complete look for less...
