In Full Bloom: Rosie Huntington Whiteley's Floral Bomber Jacket and Ankle Jean Look for Less

RHWFloralBomberJeans
If there's anything that I love more than seeing and smelling all of the fresh flowers in June, it's wearing them. Floral patterns are one of my favorites for this time of year and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley agrees. The model wore the print on a silky blazer paired with a simple white tee, some on-trend ankle jeans and high-heeled sandals. To top off the look, Rosie accessorized with gold hoops, a black satchel and oversized tortoiseshell sunnies. The simplicity of the top and denim helps balance the outfit when styled with the exciting print and dramatic sunglasses. Plus, the layering is great for those warm days followed by chillier nights. Shop our budget-friendly finds below, including a near match for Rosie's blazer for just $26!

Cold-Shoulder Chic: Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's Open Shoulder Blouse and High-Waisted Jean Look for Less

RosieHWRedBlouseBlackJean
Take a cue from Rosie-Huntington Whiteley, who recently wore one of the hottest styles of the season: Cold-shoulder tops. Rosie styled her red floral-print blouse with a pair of black skinnies and embellished gladiator sandals. She accessorized with round, oversized sunglasses, gold hoops and a coordinating black stone necklace, and a {faux} crocodile clutch. This ensemble has a relatively simple color palette, gold, red and black, but the look is far from simple. The peek of skin, focus on the color, unique sunglass silhouette and the waist-cinching pants really make this outfit stand out and look trendy. Get Rosie's style by looking through the following pieces, featuring items starting at just $6!
