We all love a good French phrase t-shirt, be it from J.Crew or Old Navy. Everything sounds better in French and looks better, too, when it's a graphic tee. But why pay $58 at Anthropologie.com to get that certain je ne sais quoi when you can spend $14.90 elsewhere? See if you can guess which of these two French phrase tops costs more, and click a link below to find out!

If you love your denim or chambray shirts, you'll adore having a simple dress in this wear-with-everything fabric for summer. Much like that favorite shirt, you can style a chambray dress in so many ways, either with earthy neutrals or colorful brights. Never too fussy, never boring, it's a fashion friend you can lean on all season long. BB Dakota's faded denim dress is $75 at Shopbop.com while the look for less is $35 elsewhere. Can you spot the real from the steal? Check your guess by clicking a link below!

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!


Shop the look for less:
Rock & Republic at Kohl's Tie Dye Tee // Rock & Republic at Kohl's Deconstructed Jeans // Forever 21 Floppy Hat // J.Lo by Jennifer Lopez at Kohl's Ankle Boots // Initial Bar Pendant (own this one, love it!) // Topshop Turquoise Beaded Necklace // H&M Fringe Shoulder Bag

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?
