Summer Whites: Miranda Kerr's Tank Dress and Espadrille Flats Look for Less

Miranda Kerr's white midi dress and nude crossbody bag
Back in June, model Miranda Kerr was seen at the Stella McCartney Spring 2016 Resort Presentation in NYC wearing this white midi dress and espadrille flats ensemble - one of those super summery looks that you'll want to copy before Labor Day rolls around. It's minimal, crisp and modern with a fun, feminine twist that her nude-and-neon crossbody bag provides (I'm guessing Celine?). Steal this look on a budget after the jump...



Shoe Debut: Zendaya's White Shirt, Destroyed Jeans and Feathered Heels Look for Less

Zendaya Coleman wears a white button down shirt, destroyed denim and strappy heels for the debut of her new shoe collection, Daya.
I think it's every girl's dream to launch her own shoe collection, and now singer/actress Zendaya is doing just that with the debut of Daya, due out in Spring 2016. The collection, with prices ranging from $125-$175, aims to be "the perfect balance between ‘Sex Appeal’ and ‘Sporty Lux’" and features statement heels, modern flats and the go-to high top sneaker. Since you can't shop Daya by Zendaya just yet, I've recreated the outfit she wisely wore for her launch event - a simple white button down and destroyed denim let her feathered high heels shine and take centerstage in this look.

Coast-to-Coast Classic: Bella Thorne's Sweatshirt and Sneakers Look for Less

Bella Thorne
Despite being unlikely sartorial bedfellows, in this look, Converse and Chanel are a match made in fashion heaven! Bella Thorne creates a crisp, clean look by pairing casual pieces like jeans, sneakers and a crewneck sweatshirt with an upscale bag. In our version we have traded her Rhode Island souvenir sweatshirt for a wool H&M sweater - lightweight enough for the early fall and it makes the look a little less casual - and found a Target tote similar to her must-have Chanel CC Crown Bag. Plus each piece is under $50! Read on to get the look for less..

Casual Cool: Minka Kelly's Stripe Tank and Relaxed Jeans Look for Less

Minka Kelly's casual summer style in a striped tank, boyfriend jeans and flip-flops
Minka Kelly has me thinking not all crop tops are off-limits and not all mom-jeans are frumpy. Her striped tank shows off just a hint of midriff while her relaxed jeans (boyfriend? girlfriend? mom? I'm not really sure) lend a casual-cool vibe to her summer outfit. Granted, she's gorgeous in person (I met her at The Heart Truth Red Dress Collection Fashion Show a while back) so she tends to look good in anything. But I'm willing to give it a try, too, if you are. Read on to shop the look for less...
