Sleek in Suede: Alessandra Ambrosio's Matching Moto Jacket and Ankle Boots Look for Less

Alessandra Ambrosio Look for Less
Alessandra Ambrosio puts her own spin on the camel coat trend in this ensemble featuring matching cognac suede booties and a fitted moto jacket. The model wore the statement pieces with a cornflower blue sweater, gray structured bag, coordinating tortoiseshell sunglasses and medium wash boot-cut jeans. Alessandra also added a bit of sparkle to the minimalistic outfit with a simple silver boyfriend watch. The jacket has to be my favorite part of this ensemble. The suede rather than leather gives a softer, more feminine aesthetic to the style. Plus the tan hues are a perfect match with the pastel look of the sweater and handbag — these pieces work great as we transition into spring as well! Read on to get Alessandra's look for less...

Mixed Media: Olivia Palermo's Cozy Knit and Leather Leggings Look for Less

Olivia Palermo Look for Less
Playing with layers and textures has never looked so fab! Olivia Palermo perfectly demonstrated how to make liquid leggings casual-chic by pairing them with an oversized cowl-neck sweater, double-breasted gilet, boyfriend peacoat, comfy high-tops and a patterned bag. I love that Olivia stuck with a neutral palette for this look, utilizing black, cream, brown and an olive green...it makes the sheen of the leggings and the bright white of her sweater really stand out. I'm also inspired to play with my outerwear after seeing how she layered the wool vest and overcoat. Not only is it super cozy, it's on-trend and adds a unique style element to any ensemble. Read on to see my favorite peacoat-style gilet for layering and the rest of Olivia's look for less..

As celebs descended on Utah's Salt Lake City International Airport for the Sundance Film Festival, this outfit seen on Kendra Wilkinson caught my eye because it's totally something I would wear on a chilly New England winter day, too. Just layer a plaid shirt (ours is just $7 at Walmart) with an olive, fur trim parka for warmth. Then add all black extras for some edge, like skinny jeans and ankle boots. Also not seen in this photo is Kendra's stylish backpack, the current carrier of choice whether you're traveling far or staying close to home...and we found the perfect look for less at Tar-jay (looks great in real life, too!)
