I'm loving Queen Letizia of Spain's casual shopping look, photographed here at a book fair in Madrid. When you're carrying all your precious finds, you want to be comfortable, so a graphic tee and white jeans do the trick. Her platform sandals elevate the look (literally) while her perfectly coifed blunt bob is giving us serious hair envy. Want to play Queen for the day? Here are affordable fashion finds to recreate her regal look for less.

Jordana Brewster shows us what easy summer style is all about in her polka-dot drop waist dress and wide strap sandals. It's that perfect mix of chic and carefree that cool girls seem to embody so well. Her Birkenstock-style sandals balance out the short hemline on her adorable dress, which is basically a shift with a slight ruffle panel at the bottom. I bought a similar dress (here) in a different pattern recently at H&M and there's nothing cooler or more comfortable on a hot summer day. Ready to give this look a try? Here are all the affordable fashions you'll need to make it work (and everything's under $40!):

Hilary Duff continues her boho-with-an-edge streak in a tie-dye top, ripped jeans and ankle boots, with a fringe bag, floppy hat and turquoise necklace to accessorize. (See her boho maxi skirt look here.) It's a look that I quickly realized could basically be recreated in its entirety with pieces from Kohl's, especially their Rock & Republic line, which is all about everyday rock 'n' roll (and no, this post is in no way sponsored by Kohl's). While Hilary is probably rocking all designer pieces from head to toe, it's good to know you can achieve the same laid-back look at a fraction of the price!

From silky pajama sets to bustier tops, lingerie for daytime dressing has been an ongoing trend in the fashion world. While not always doable for everyday, here's one application we can imitate thanks to Chrissy Teigen, who makes a satin kimono jacket work with a simple black tank and ripped skinny jeans. I found an actual satin robe for my look for less; search for "kimono" or "duster" at your favorite stores for more options. Want more breezy layering ideas for summer? Check out Alessandra Ambrosio's boho poncho look, too!

I'll never say never to a trend, and right now gauchos are seriously growing on me! Actress Keke Palmer was recently spotted wearing gauchos from Forever 21 at the unveiling of a Jesse Owens mural at an Inglewood, California, elementary school. The funny thing is, I recognized Palmer's pants before I read the press release, having seen them on Jennifer Lopez just a few days earlier (the pop diva wore hers with a black lace top and black ankle-strap pumps). What do both looks have in common? You'd think these celebs paid a fortune for such fashion-forward bottoms, but no, the stars' exact gaucho pants are just $24.90 at Forever21.com. Personally I prefer how Keke styled her pants with a boxy floral crop top and sexy yet understated D'Orsay pumps. Who do you think wore it better?
