Peachy Keen: Margot Robbie's Kimono and Slip Dress Look for Less

Margot Robbie Look for Less
Yes, yes, yes. There is nothing I love more than finding a minimalistic way to incorporate multiple trends in one ensemble and this outfit, featuring Spell & The Gypsy Collective's 'Isla Bonita' Embroidered Kimono in a peachy pink ($185, now available only in white) is an ideal example. Margot Robbie took a piece traditionally used as bedroom-wear and made it street-style worthy by pairing it with a simple '90s-inspired slip, python sandals, round sunglasses, simple jewelry and a saddle bag. In this look, we've recreated the feel with a short pink kimono from H&M and kept the playful layering similar by styling it with a longer slip (more length, more versatile).

Summer Haze: Kate Bosworth's Denim Shorts and Flatform Sneakers Look for Less

Kate Bosworth's effortless summer style is easy to recreate on a real girl's budget.
Kate Bosworth took a summer stroll in SoHo sporting a simple t-shirt, denim shorts and flatform sneakers outfit that's so easy to recreate on a budget. For our look for less, I picked basics from B.P. at Nordstrom and H&M, then added a refined mini tote bag from Zara and Steve Madden platform sneakers to finish the ensemble. Kate's chunky-soled flatform shoes from KG Kurt Geiger ($136, selfridges.com) feature an adorable bow giving these quirky shoes some serious street-style cred. To add a pop of natural dewy color to lips and cheeks, I included my new summer beauty favorite, the Mulitbalm by Pixi - I've been wearing mine daily and highly recommend (find them at Target)! For these long lazy days of summer, it's all about effortless style, and Kate delivers just the right dose.

Daisy Darling: Reese Witherspoon's Floral Dress and Wicker Handbag Look for Less

Reese Witherspoon Look for Less
Always bright and cheerful, Reese Witherspoon has shown us exactly how to dress like a perfect southern belle this summer and this ensemble has to be one of my favorites! The actress-turned-designer paired her very own Draper James Darlin' Daisy Love Circle Dress ($225) with a cardigan, navy wedge sandals, gold jewelry, gradient sunglasses and Draper James Overlook Bag ($250). Aside from Reese's gorgeous pieces, the best part of this look has to be the bright color scheme. Pink and orange make a great combination and this palette pops against navy blue accents. Read on to score some truly amazing finds, including a look-a-like navy accented wicker bag and bright floral dress for a fraction of the cost!
