Tailor Made: Reese Witherspoon's Fitted Blazer and Emerald Turtleneck Look for Less

Reese Witherspoon Look for Less
In her latest look, Reese Witherspoon puts a modern twist on a timeless piece by pairing a collarless tweed blazer with skinny jeans, animal print, cognac touches and a fitted emerald top. The bold green turtleneck pops under the cream topper and perfectly compliments the tan hues in her bag, sunglasses and pointed-toe pumps. One of my favorite things about this ensemble is the tailoring — the fitted coat and ankle-grazing denim looks ah-mazing on her petite frame. I'm 5'2" so I was thrilled when I found an identical pair of jeans that won't bunch at the ankles and will show off a flirty pair of heels. Read on to grab my favorite jeans and the rest of Reese's look for less, with pieces starting at just $9.99!

The Who What Wear for Target Look Book is A Big Yawn

Who What Wear for Target lookbook
Maybe I'm sleep deprived but I just found the Who What Wear lookbook in my inbox and it's one big snooze-fest. I love Who What Wear co-founders Hillary Kerr and Katherine Power (I've followed them since I began blogging way back in the Stone Age) and I see they put a lot of thought into the collection - aiming to include the perfect trench, edgy moto jacket, and essential striped tee for their diehard fashionista fans - but the end result feels uninspired and lackluster. These aren't perfect basics nor are they eye-catching statement pieces. The prices, however, are certainly right, ranging from $14.99 to $49.99, and this is just the first of many installments to come. You can find the debut spring line at select Target stores and on Target.com starting Jan. 31 followed by new Who What Wear styles to be released the first week of every month. If you handpick the best pieces from each collection (such as the trench vest or mod blue moto jacket) I'm thinking this could turn into a very exciting new reason to shop at Target (as if we needed any more excuses). Browse all the looks below and tell me what you think.

Spot the Real: Max Studio Oxblood Tank Top

Fab find: Target burnout tank top
We all need going out tops, those better-than-basic tanks, tees and shirts that can be worn with jeans and heels for an instant dressy look. Here's a keeper: It's a velvet burnout tank top by Mossimo that comes in cabernet red or black and sells for just $22.99 at target.com. In case you needed extra persuasion, it looks a lot like a top by Max Studio which costs twice as much. How's that for validation?

Classic Casual: Sienna Miller's Camel Coat and Layered Sweater Look for Less

Sienna Miller
Timeless and chic, camel coats are essential staples in any woman's wardrobe. Sienna Miller shows off how to style the wool topper with cozy layers — perfect for the colder months. The longline silhouette creates a lean look when paired with skinny jeans, and her burgundy loafers add a pop of color to an overall neutral ensemble. Plus, the overcoat adds a level of sophistication to a casual look. Sienna's original piece is Rag & Bone's Faye Camel Hair Coat, which retails for $995, but our look-a-like sells for a cool $119!
