Back to Basics: Pixie Lott's White Bodysuit and Denim Flare Look for Less

Pixie Lott Look for Less
Pixie Lott's simple bodysuit styling is slowly becoming an obsession of mine. I love how effortless these looks are (like her black bodysuit and boyfriend jean outfit) yet she looks so put together. Pixie opted for a white spaghetti strap bodysuit paired with frayed flare ankle jeans, a black bowler satchel, black pointed flats and a gold sequined scrunchie. She kept her makeup simple with a pastel pink lip and bold winged eyeliner — a reflection of her current work starring as Holly Golightly in the musical adaptation of Breakfast at Tiffany's. We're seeing tons of decades reflected in this season's fashion trends and I love that Pixie incorporated many eras — especially the '80s/'90s throwback to the scrunchie...it's great for dressing up a thrown together top knot. Read on to score my style finds including my favorite eyeliner by Tarte ($20) to create a classic winged look for your next night out!

Menswear Maven: Victoria Beckham's Tuxedo Blouse and Wide-Leg Pants Look for Less

Victoria Beckham Look for Less
Whenever I think of Victoria Beckham, I instantly think of her time as Posh Spice — wardrobes consisting of black mini dresses, sharp stiletto heels, smoky eyes and chic clingy outfits showing off her svelte figure. Over time, her style has evolved and repeatedly Victoria has demonstrated that while her Spice Girl days are over, she still holds on to her posh sense of style. Here, dressed in Victoria Beckham and Celine, she pairs a classic tuxedo blouse with wide-leg crepe pants and flat leather sandals. For accessories Victoria stuck with the overall menswear style and wore a gold boyfriend watch, square sunglasses and a folded-over leather tote. To get this look, worthy of NYFW's front row, read on to shop my curated finds...and save hundreds!

Boho Bombshell: Alessandra Ambrosio's Floral Blouse and Ripped Denim Look for Less

Alessandra Ambrosio Look for Less
Summer may be winding down, but that doesn't mean it's over — especially when clearance sales and endless celebrity looks are inspiring me to continue wearing my favorite pairs of shorts. In this look, Alessandra Ambrosio styled a long sleeve printed top with ripped denim shorts, studded ankle strap espadrilles, delicate gold jewelry and round metal sunglasses. This look is perfect for those lingering warm days, but if you're looking to extend this look into fall or if you're already in the midst of chillier weather opt for skinny jeans. Plus, the pair I've featured has a similar style to Alessandra's so the overall feel of the look is unchanged. Shop my picks starting at just under $4!
