From Beach to Street: Jennifer Aniston's One-Piece Swimsuit and Wrap Skirt Look for Less

Jennifer Aniston Look for Less
Summer ensembles should be effortless, comfortable and, for convenience, easily transformed. In this look, Jennifer Aniston demonstrates how she takes a look from beach to street in a snap. After leaving the beach, Jen styled her one-piece bathing suit with a printed wrap skirt, denim jacket, khaki fedora, Havianas flip flops and a large black tote. For just a touch of gold, she added a delicate leaf necklace and classic aviators. I feel like I'm always on-the-go and rushed during dressing, so the ease of just adding a couple of pieces to my outfit before heading to the next activity is perfect! In my re-creation, I featured a bodysuit in the look, for those who are iffy about the swimwear, but I did list a one-piece swimsuit below. Check out my picks for this look from Jen, featuring pieces starting at $2.90!

Layover Loungewear: Jessica Alba's Comfortable Travel Look for Less

Jessica Alba Look for Less
Style may be a priority, but for me, nothing is more important than being comfortable on long flights. Here, Jessica Alba demonstrates that you can have it all with this fab athleisure-inspired look. Jessica wore a slouchy tee paired with a longline cardigan, rolled jogger sweats, platform sandals, oversized sunglasses and carried a reversible tote in addition to her carry-on. What I love about this look is how easy it is to recreate with pieces I already own, I just need to grab a duster sweater and similar 'flatform' shoes. Plus it's functional: the sweater is perfect for keeping warm on the plane, sunglasses to dim the overhead lighting and a huge tote to carry all of your essentials including Jessica's own Honest Beauty's Magic Balm. This product is a multi-functional moisturizer perfect for dry skin and chapped lips and a definite beauty must-have!

Black and White: Taylor Swift's Denim Shorts and Sneakers Look for Less

Recreate Taylor Swift's casual summer style with affordable fashion finds.
It never ceases to amaze me how celebrities with seemingly limitless financial resources still often choose to rock the most basic of basics for their everyday style. Here's Taylor Swift's cool summer style, just a black loose fitting tee, black denim shorts and some white sneakers. Granted her shoes are Saint Laurent 'Court Stars' leather sneakers ($493, luisaviaroma.com or $645 at saksfifthavenue.com), and her handbag is designer, too, but we found some near identical finds that will have you rocking her look in no time...millionaire status not required.

Short and Sweet: Reese Witherspoon's Printed Shorts and Relaxed Tee Look for Less

ReeseWitherspoonPrintedShortRelaxedTee
Nothing says summer like playful colors, bold prints and bare legs. Reese Witherspoon showed some skin recently while sporting her Draper James Printed Bristol Short ($150). She paired the piece with a coordinating short sleeve tee, slingback sandals, delicate silver necklaces, silver studs and a pair of cat-eye sunglasses. Styled with a casual tee and minimalistic accessories, the Bristol Short is definitely the star of the show, plus the overall cut and pattern of the piece makes the casual ensemble look more put together. In addition to Reese's shorts, I am in love with the overall monochrome look — totally on trend right now. Recreate her look with these fabulous finds that won't break the bank....
