Elle Fanning's Crop Top and High-Waist Jeans Look for Less

Elle Fanning look for less
Elle Fanning was the picture of summer chic in a crop top and sandals as she took a stroll during the 70th Cannes Film Festival.

I love the simple color palette of crisp white and denim blue. Not a fan of the crop top? Swap in a tie-front white shirt (like this one) instead.

I also love the comfy double strap sandals that Elle is wearing. Upon closer inspection, you'll see the actress has fun with her accessories, from the crystal embellishments on the sandals to her Gucci glitter sunglasses ($375, nordstrom.com). You could even get in on the trend with this DIY glitter sunglasses tutorial!

Molly Sims is Summer Chic in A Black Maxi Dress and Bow Slide Sandals

Molly Sims fashion style is classic and chic.
Molly Sims made her way through LAX in a classic and chic outfit featuring a black maxi dress, nautical blazer and bow slide sandals.

She finished her look with oversized aviators, tousled blonde locks and the sweetest smile! I love Molly Sims' style...she has a way of mixing preppy and boho elements in a way that always looks fresh and put-together.

The peek-a-boo trend is big this season for dresses, and I love the sheer chiffon look that's happening here on Molly's skirt - it shows a little something while still being covered-up enough for daytime events.

And let's talk about those shoes for a second! I found this amazing lookalike pair at Target that's too good to resist. Find these and all my look for less finds below, each item under $100!

Nicky Hilton's Camel Coat and Converse Sneakers Look for Less

Nicky Hilton wears a camel coat and white Converse while out and about in New York City.
Yesterday was downright frigid here in Connecticut, so Nicky Hilton's camel coat and Converse is definitely seasonally appropriate.

The star kept warm while out and about in New York while harkening to spring with her lighter wash skinny jeans and on-trend white sneakers.

You could either pull your wool coat out of hibernation to recreate this look, or update it for spring with a must-have classic trench coat instead.

All my finds are under $50, including Nicky's shoes, so I added a "splurge" handbag because it's way less that her designer bag and totally worth the investment to elevate all your outfits!

Did you know Amazon has its own private fashion labels? I'm putting Lark & Ro, Ella Moon, Paris Sunday and Scout + Ro on my radar.

I love the Olsen twins but had to laugh when I read Tom + Lorenzo's assessment of their recent Met Gala looks (mostly the part about the Bolsheviks).

I keep forgetting to tell you guys! You can earn triple points at Nordstrom now through May 7. Perfect time to get those Mother's Day gifts. Also, I'm eying these sandals for myself. And these denim shorts are in my cart.
