Sporty Chic: Irina Shayk's Blazer and Wedge Sneaker Look for Less

Irina Shayk - Monochromatic Look
Irina Shayk recently returned from her luxurious Italian vacation in this sporty chic ensemble and we're in love. The monochromatic nature will forever be stylish and I adore how she relaxed the look with her hidden-wedge sneaks — a must-have for petite babes like myself. She also is wearing girlfriend style jeans, which are going to be a huge hit for the fall season, a timeless chic blazer and mixed metal accessories! Perfect for creating a multitude of outfits with your closet pieces. In our version of the look we swapped out the R13 Distressed Boy T ($215) for a basic shirt with a layered necklace that will give a similar, yet pulled-together, style and found these adorable Steve Madden shoes for under $100! Get Irina's look for less with these posh picks, most of which are under $45!

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. Read on to snag the look for less...
