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!):

The answer (in case you were wondering) is no! The moment I spotted Reese in her adorable peach print top, I knew it was from Draper James, her new lifestyle site that celebrates Southern style. Since her exact top is $75, I featured it in the look (with budget-friendly alternatives from Talbots, too!) If you splurge on the top, you'll save on the navy H&M blazer and cherry red accessories I found at Charlotte Russe and Express. It's the perfect color palette for summer and something you could wear from 9 to 5 and beyond. Keep these looks coming, Reese!

UPDATE: Reese's exact red pumps are from the newly launched shoe label, RAYE, and can be purchased HERE.

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!

If you're looking for effortless summer style, look no further than Jessica Alba's latest weekend look. The actress and entreprenuer was spotted out and about with her husband looking ever the bohemian street-style goddess in a floral wide-leg jumpsuit and platform wedge sandals for a breezy, leggy look. Her outfit combination is definitely easy to imitate on a budget, with jumpsuits cropping up at just about every fast fashion store online and at the mall. And wedge sandals give you height with comfort (plus they're perfect when you're treading on grass at outdoor events). Here I've rounded up three of my favorite jumpsuit and wedge sandal combinations, priced from just $25 to $88. Which would you wear?

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!
