Emma Roberts in double denim and white sneakers
The key to fashion is to look like you're not trying even when you really are. Emma Roberts does just that in her latest normcore ensemble, pairing a denim shirt with distressed jeans, white sneakers and a brown leather backpack.

Alessandra Ambrosio's maxi skirt, jean jacket and huarache flats look for less
Only Alessandra Ambrosio could look this good while pumping gas: The supermodel was a boho beauty in a head-to-toe ensemble by the SPELL. collection. Alessandra sported the "Pandora Maxi Skirt" colored in Aqua with the "Rapunzel Lace Crop Top" in white with a vintage Levi’s jacket. While you can't get Alessandra’s exact SPELL. look until the beginning of May (bookmark www.spelldesigns.com), you can shop our look for less with similar pieces under $55. I love that Alessandra opted for huarache flats instead of flip-flops to complement her flowy skirt and crop top...this is a great style to pick up for summer as it's just as casual and comfortable but so much cuter!

There's something I just love about a crisp white blouse, it's timeless, easy to style and the lightweight fabric is perfect for warmer months.

Green Acres: Diane Kruger's Black Overall and Floral Silk Scarf Look for Less

dianekrugerblackoverallssilkscarfplatformsneakers
Country girl meets city chic in this latest look from Diane Kruger. The actress paired her black denim overalls with a simple white tee, floral silk scarf, platform sneakers, square sunglasses and a chain-strap crossbody. Diane also kept a camel peacoat close just in case the weather got a little chilly, because let's face it the spring weather can be extremely unpredictable. The overalls trend can be daunting and you really have to pair it with carefully selected pieces in order to avoid that farmer vibe. Diane accomplishes this through her shoes and glasses, which keep the look playful and trendy, while her scarf and coat offer an added bonus element of sophistication. Read on to score my look-a-like finds for these pieces and get the rest of Diane's look for less.
