Seeing Double: Emma Roberts' Denim Shirt and Distressed Jeans Look for Less

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. Personally, I just love when fashion meets practicality, and nothing could be more comfortable than denim and sneakers paired with an arms-free backpack.

High-Impact: Karlie Kloss' White Trousers and Sneakers Look for Less

Karlie Kloss black t-shirt, white pants, white sneakers look for less
Karlie Kloss is never one to shy away from a bold pant...remember her wide leg trouser and trench coat look? Here she shows us how a high-waist white pant with a unique belt-detail can add drama to an otherwise minimalist look. She pairs the pant with a simple black tee, white sneakers, reflective sunglasses and a burgundy bag. The pants take center stage but the supporting cast is just as chic. I was recently reading an article on Corporette about sneakers at the office and I think Karlie's look today is one example of when you could totally rock your sporty shoes to work on a casual Friday (or any day in a more creative environment). Read on for my look for less featuring finds from $5 to $70...

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!

Today's Top 5 Sales:

Demi Lovato's Floral Pant and Blazer Look for Less

demilovatofloralwidelegpantblazerandcroptop
One of my favorite parts of spring is the return of bright colors and bold, playful patterns. Demi Lovato shows us exactly how to rock the trend, without looking outlandish. Demi styled her colorful printed wide-leg pant with a black crop top, a longline tuxedo blazer, gold statement jewelry and a red-orange lip. Demi's shoes aren't visible, but I can only assume she paired the look with matching black platform sandals. I love the balance between bold and simple elements in this ensemble, and Demi ensured that her pants were the center of attention by wearing black on top.



Silver and Suede: Jessica Alba's White Lace Midi and Moto Jacket Look for Less

jessicaalbawhitelacedressmotojacketmetallic
Suede and lace are everywhere for spring, especially with the influence from music festival season. Jessica Alba demonstrates how to take the trend into day wear with her pairing of a suede moto jacket with a flowy white dress. I love how Jessica styles the piece with reflective pointed-toe pumps, large cat-eye sunglasses and a simple metallic silver clutch. The monochrome details of her accessories only emphasize the bright white of the lace midi. The use of suede, instead of leather, in her coat adds to the overall femininity of this outfit and keeps the look soft. Read on to get Jessica's look for less...
