Jenna Dewan Looks Lovely in White Lace and Olive Green

Jenna Dewan is Lovely in Lace and A Cargo Jacket
Jenna Dewan looked lovely in a white lace dress and olive green utility jacket while running errands.

Looks like Jenna has been doing her homework on Pinterest, where I've pinned this on-point combination more than once (here,
here and here). That combination of sweet lace and rugged utilitarianism always gets me!

To make this look truly Pinterest-worthy, I might add a little leopard sandal or go for a block heel bootie. What do you think?

Alessandra Ambrosio Keeps it Casual in Cargo Pants

Alessandra Ambrosio's airport style is casual and cool, with a black tee, olive cargos and denim jacket.
Supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio was seen looking casual in a denim jacket and green cargo pants as she departed from LAX in Los Angeles.

Anytime I can pretend that I can somewhat approximate a model's off-duty look, I am a happy girl. I can totally pull together a black tee, denim jacket and olive cargos from my closet to recreate this look! All I'm missing are the cap-toe espadrille flats, the perfect summer travel slip-on shoe (TSA approved!) and I found a pair under $20 at ASOS.com you'll love.

Snag all the pieces to recreate Alessandra's look below, including one super amazing dupe for her covetable Chloe bag.

I'm hosting a fun summer giveaway with Goodpop over on my Instagram page! My kids and I love their organic freezer pops. The coconut milk creamcicle pops are amazing, too, as are the cold brew coffee flavor (for us grownups).

Two nights ago, I did a little damage shopping Who What Wear clearance on target.com! I bought this patchwork utility jacket , this ruffle tank in white (just $5.38), this moto jacket in yellow (just $13.48), this wrap skirt, and this bomber jacket in the daisy floral (just $11.98). I also got this Knox Rose floral print blouse for $8. My entire order came in under $100 with free shipping and 5% off with my RedCard.



The Look for Less: Birkenstock 'Madrid' EVA Slide Sandals

Birkenstock Madrid sandals get knocked off by Mossimo at Target.
It's rare to find a cheap shoe with cool-girl credentials, but the Birkenstock 'Madrid' EVA slide sandal manages to do just that. It's on-trend, comfy, and costs just $30! Perfect for the beach, pool or spa.

Enter the Mossimo 'Gladiola' slide sandals, just $12.99 and suddenly the choice becomes a bit harder...I say go with the original, because quality and comfort are their hallmarks. But if you just want an inexpensive plastic shoe to get you through summer, the look for less is a great option, too!

How to Wear the Summer Whites Trend

Gwyneth Paltrow wears a white sleeveless button shirt and wide leg crop pants plus white Birkenstock sandals.
Nothing says summer like head-to-toe white. Here, Gwyneth Paltrow was spotted leaving a children's play wearing a flutter-sleeve top with wide-leg crop pants and Birkenstock sandals, all in monochromatic white.

Her Goyard bag in blue provided just a hint of color to her laid-back summer ensemble.

This is how to do summer whites right: Crisp, clean separates in effortless fabrics, and a chic ponytail to finish it off.

I'm jazzed that you can recreate this entire look with pieces from the Who What Wear for Target collection! Splurge on the sandals (under $100) and tote bag to elevate your look, and you'll be channeling those white-on-white vibes all summer long.

Sofia Vergara kept things colorful and cute for a day of shopping at Saks Fifth Avenue in a one-shoulder coral ruffled shirt and floral pants.

The 'Modern Family' actress grounded the brightly colored top and print pants with nude platform sandals and a nude leather handbag, which is always a smart styling tip.

This post is in no way sponsored by ON, I just thought it would be fun to show you guys how easy it is to get this look for under $130 total in a one-stop shopping trip! Who's with me?!

I finally placed my first order with SheIn! After about an hour of browsing this behemoth of a fast-fashion store, I bought this gingham top, this casual peplum tee, this boho maxi dress, this embroidered peasant top, and this embroidered tunic. If you spend $99 you get free expedited shipping, so that's why I ordered so many pieces. Returns are free (I paid some $1.99 insurance fee to guarantee free returns, too, not exactly sure what that's about but I wanted to be safe since it's my first time buying from this international site.) I'll post an update once my items arrive.

I'm going to need a bigger closet - how chic are these leopard tassel sandals by Old Navy?!

This 'Totes!' tote is so adorable and just $8! Reminds me of the popular 'Totes, ya'll' bag by Draper James.
