Lauren Conrad Launches Maternity Collection at Kohl's

Lauren Conrad launches her maternity fashion line at Kohl's.
Lauren Conrad just launched her first maternity clothing line at Kohl's, and it's just as feminine, romantic and whimsical as the rest of her popular collection.

The mom-to-be included easy to wear separates and casual dresses in the initial launch, like this cold shoulder pleated dress (above), these belly panel jeggings, and this pintuck pleasant blouse.

Prices range from $28 to $47 (and you can knock those prices down even more with Kohl's coupons, Kohl's Cash and Yes2Rewards).

I remember how hard I searched to find an affordable, cute dress for my baby shower when I was pregnant with my first son...back then I wanted to try something on in person and didn't have much luck ordering maternity dresses online. The struggle is real, ya'll. I'm so happy to see another option out there for moms to be, and I'll be sharing this little news scoop with all my mamma friends!

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?

Big news! Lauren Conrad introduces maternity fashion to her Kohl's collection.

I spotted this macrame tote in the latest issue of StyleWatch. It's under $30 and looks perfect for summer.

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!


THE LOOK: Birkenstock 'Madrid' Slide Sandal, $29.95 at nordstrom.com (also on amazon.com)
