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!

Margot Robbie is a Retro Cutie in Polka Dots

Margot Robbie looks chic in a retro-minded polka dot dress and modern white sneakers.
Margot Robbie wore the cutest polka dot shirt dress as she arrived at LAX Airport a couple months back, but I thought this was the perfect Memorial Day look to wear right now. I'm pretty sure polka-dots never go out of style. Neither do shirt dresses. Put the two together and you have a match made in fashion heaven.

Add some modern white sneakers and a girl-next-door pony tail and you have just about the sweetest look around. I found an H&M wrap dress that looks identical to Margot's plus another amazing lookalike in case your size is sold out - I tried it on a couple weeks ago and now I think I'll have to go back and get it!

Kohl's has launched a:glow, a new maternity clothing line. I'm glad to see this, because their maternity offerings when I was pregnant were really slim (and pricy)!

Everything is 50% off at J.Crew Factory all weekend long!

The Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale is still going strong. I bought this $17 striped tee and may have worn it two days in a row already.

Take an extra 20% off select styles at Chicwish.com with code TRE20. This one-shoulder top is a great Self-Portrait top look for less.

The folks at Goodpop were kind enough to send me a complimentary bag of their Organic Freezer Pops, available on Amazon, and my kids love them - and I love that they're all-natural. I'll definitely be ordering these again, so convenient - just pop in the freezer!

Jourdan Dunn is Statuesque in Striped Pants

Jourdan Dunn wears vertical stripe pants with an oversized denim jacket and sneakers.
British supermodel Jourdan Dunn made a stylish entrance in vertical stripe pants, a black bodysuit, and oversized denim jacket as she arrived at Nice Airport France on her way to the 70th Cannes Film Festival.

I love how the model plays with proportions in this look, from the wide leg pants to the sleek bodysuit top, to the boxy jacket with exaggerated sleeves.

I also love her choice of a graphic black and white color palette - so good for summer! She finishes the look with sporty yet sleek black patent sneakers, and retro top-frame sunglasses which we're seeing everywhere lately.

Really, is there anything not to love about Jourdan's look?! Steal her vibes with the affordable fashion finds below...

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!

Style Your Track Pants Like Supermodel Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

Rosie Huntington Whiteley wears track pants with heels and a blazer.
With a crisp blazer and strappy heels, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley shows us the fashion-forward way to wear track pants in this sleek outfit she sported a few months back at LAX.

By keeping the palette neutral and the accessories simple, she's convinced me that you could wear wide leg track pants to the office or a cocktail party, making these a versatile wardrobe addition. I could even picture the supermodel wearing this elevated athleisure outfit with her current baby bump!

I was so excited to find this near identical pair of pants at Express (on sale!) - and even more excited to see how blogger Sydne Summer wore her pair with a white blouse and blazer! If you love the look, read on to get all the pieces, each under $100...
