Golden Girl: Kendall Jenner's Silk Camisole and Black Miniskirt Look for Less

Kendall Jenner Look for Less
Vogue's September cover girl, Kendall Jenner, has been dominating the street-style scene all year and her latest look is no exception. Kendall wore a silky lace-trimmed camisole, paired with a wool mini skirt featuring bold embellishments, patent leather boots, stacked gold rings and a pearl detailed velvet choker from Dries Van Noten ($364). To keep all eyes on the outfit, she paired it with a neutral makeup look featuring a pinky brown nude lip. I've been obsessed with the recent resurgence of '90s trends, especially the choker, and Vanessa Mooney Lestat Burgundy Choker ($29) is a total dupe for Kendall's pick and perfect for fall!

Across the Pond: Pixie Lott's Black Bodysuit and Boyfriend Jean Look for Less

Pixie Lott Look for Less
One of my favorite jean styles for the upcoming fall season is the boyfriend style. With its variations of the "mom jean" or girlfriend style, the loose fit is extremely comfortable and it adds just a touch of androgyny and a relaxed look to any outfit. Here Pixie Lott wears the trend paired with a deep plunging bodysuit — à la Khloe Kardashian — patent leather pumps and a bold mustard yellow boxy satchel. I love the simplicity of this look and the bright pop of color, but I was weary of the neckline. I wanted this look to be wearable at any hour of the day. So while the daring bodysuit is great for nightwear, I've also included a high-neck bodysuit to be able to take this look into the daytime hours — you could even pair with a long sleeve for fall! Read on to score my favorite bodysuit from Boohoo and discover amazing basics, each for under $50...

Classic Prep: Reese Witherspoon's Blue Striped Blouse and White Shorts Look for Less

Reese Witherspoon Look for Less
Once again I am in awe of Reese Witherspoon's southern sweetheart style. Her crisp white shorts and clean striped button-up look great paired with nude sunglasses, sandals and, the perfect summer accessory, a straw tote. Reese's classic prep style is so simple to recreate and in this curated batch of must-haves, I've even included a little DIY project. On Reese, the blue and white striped blouse has touches of embroidered flowers scattered on the front, and since it was my favorite detail of the look I knew that our fellow Budget Babes had to have it too! Read on to see the $5 iron-on appliqués I found at JoAnn Fabrics that easily take this look to the next level...

Fashion Flashback: Olivia Palermo's Statement Studded Look for Less

We're in love with Olivia Palermo's ruffle trench coat, striped top and statement necklace look.
Classic stripes, preppy navy and tan tones, and dramatic jewelry: all the essentials needed to recreate this ensemble from Olivia Palermo's stylish past. In this recreation we've paired a simple Gap tee and navy skirt with a midi trench, grey hobo bag, lace-up heels, retro sunglasses and bold statement accessories. Tried and true, this look from 2009 needs no updating since all of the pieces are timeless essentials that can be worn so many ways. Plus, if you're eager to wear this during the warmer weather, nix the trench coat and swap out the long-sleeve top with a similar tank style, like this LNA Stripe Bib Tank Top ($48). Wear as it is in the fall or spring, and for colder weather add some black tights — voila 1 outfit, 3 ways for 4 seasons! Read on to score these curated pieces starting at just $14...
