Olivia Munn makes a strong case for mom jeans as she made her way through LAX wearing a pair of the on-trend denim bottoms with a white t-shirt and open-front tan cardigan.

She accessorized with a classic Gucci double-G belt, retro sunglasses and white slip-on sneakers.

When the weather warms up, I'm eager to shed my skinny jeans and I'm thinking the new loose-fit styles with built-in ventilation (aka the rips) might be exactly what I need. If you're feeling the look, too, read on for my budget-friendly picks starting at just $2.90!

When I think of spring fashion, I always envision delicate lace, ruffles and pastel shades. Here, Kate Bosworth adds a touch of edge to the ultra-feminine aesthetic by pairing an eyelet-detailed white button up with tight black denim, patent leather double-strapped mary jane flats, blocky sunglasses, drop earrings and a patch-emblazoned leather satchel.

I'm a huge fan of dark hues (especially black) so seeing this eased transition into April ensemble is perfect for me. Plus, the personalized trend has been literally everywhere this year — I've been lusting after Kate Spade's new line of stickers, straps and charms for customizing my bags, but this Mix No. 6 satchel I stumbled upon has the exact aesthetic, and rings up at only $29.94! Read on for all my look-for-less picks under $100...

Earlier I shared some of my spring fashion picks under $20 at Kohl's, and now I've got a round-up of the best shoes - all under $40 (and most are actually under $30 after coupons!)

Hey Budget Babes!! My name is Maddie Kelley and I am so excited to be joining the team as an intern. I am a Wellesley College student currently studying abroad in London. My personal style is simple with a hint of edgy. My fashion is very inspired by my travels and street wear. I'm looking forward to your feedback and I can't wait to share my writing with all of you!

When I get to a new city, I’m always scanning the crowds for what everyone is wearing. I can’t walk by a single person without noticing their shoes, their bag, their jeans...basically every element of their outfit in order to understand what sets the city’s fashion apart from others.

London style is actually quite unique, especially in Soho, the fashion hub of London. Filled with fashion students, designers, and shoppers, the fashion style there is casual but cool and effortless yet sophisticated.

Here are three major trends I've seen while living abroad in London, plus budget-friendly pieces to help you get the look:

Statement sleeves are everything for spring, and Kiernan Shipka shows us exactly how to wear the bell sleeve trend while attending a Chanel event (presumably dressed in Chanel, too).

The formula for fashion trendsetters is to pair a bold sleeve with simple jeans and understated heels for a look that's feminine and fresh.



For my budget take, I picked a blouse from Chicwish - I see their tops all over Instagram and Pinterest. Each one is more unique and dramatic than the next!

Then I added these sandals from Who What Wear - it's a lower, more wearable heel. You might even call this style granny-chic but I think it looks high-end and balances the girly-ness of the top especially well.
