Look for Less: Jeffrey Campbell Bow Slides

Jeffrey Campbell denim bow slides - love this sandal!
Could anything be cuter this summer than a bow detail and espadrille vibes on a slide silhouette?! Answer: Nope! I think these would make the perfect 4th of July outfit maker, too. Whether you opt for the Jeffrey Campbell pair or the look-for-less (which comes in navy or red), it's a great way to introduce a little red, white and blue to any casual outfit all season long.

Get the Spring Vibes with Olivia Munn's Red Polka Dot Romper and Chanel Backpack on a Budget

Olivia Munn Red Polka Dot Romper Look for Less
Olivia Munn rocks a spicy red polka dot romper with lipstick to match! This one-piece is $51 from ASOS, but only sizes 8,10, and 12 are available. Good news is, it also comes in a mustard yellow and all sizes are stocked! Unless the sun is scorching-hot, it's never a bad idea to have a lightweight knit cardigan on hand for the air-conditioned coffee spots or stores as you do some summer shopping. And oh, how we'd do almost anything to carry that backpack while doing it!



Alessandra Ambrosio's Tie Dye Tee and Gucci Sneakers Look for Less

Alessandra Ambrosio Tie Dye Tee Look for Less
There are some errands (or being honest, some entire days) when you just don't feel the need to dress up or look super cute. And that's what jeans, tees, and sneakers were made for. But we're aiming for something that's still somewhat intriguing to the eye, like Alessandra Ambrosio's tie dye top from Wildfox and cute Gucci sneakers (and they have embroidered bees on them!). As much as we adore these shoes, and her Chloe crossbody bag, I think their prices would be considered slightly overboard for our reality of what every day pieces should cost...But we'll take these dupes and look just as great!



Priyanka Chopra's Blue Dress and Scalloped Shoulder Bag Look for Less

Priyanka Chopra Blue Dress and Scallop Handbag Look for Less
We are drooling over Priyanka Chopra's Bottega Veneta scalloped bag! Such a standout piece, yet it doesn't take away from this sleek blue midi dress she wore. The star of the TV show "Quantico" and Bollywood actress keeps it classic with ankle strap heeled sandals and a crisp, white blazer draped over the shoulders. From gorgeous gowns to killer style on the street, we definitely see her making waves in the fashion world!
