Adam Levine for Kmart Spring Collection
Did you know Adam Levine of Maroon 5 fame has a clothing line at Kmart? I had completely forgotten about this collection until the team emailed me to share pics of the spring collection.

Designed with creative director and Project Runway alumn Kevin Christiana, the line features "vintage-inspired" clothes for ladies and gents, with countless styles under $35 ranging from everyday basics with an edgy twist like hoodie sweatshirts and joggers to more nostalgic, vintage-inspired graphic t-shirts, bombers and denim jackets.

January Jones' High-Waist Jeans and White Boots + Chloe 'Pixie' Dupe

January Jones style featuring white tee, high waist button-fly jeans and white boots with Chloe bag
Even at the airport, January Jones exudes chic simplicity in her white tee and high-waist flare leg jeans. I love how the white pointy-toe boots and cateye sunglasses give this look a retro mod vibe. And her Chloe bag, albeit timeless, is over $1,000! Steal that style with a dupe under $100 that gets great reviews from Amazon shoppers.

For around $100 (sometimes less on sale) you'll find some of the most unique, eye-catching, where-did-she-get that, best-dressed-guest dresses around. Most are designer-inspired, like this Self Portrait lookalike. Gorgeous! Check out more of my favorites in the widget below.

Look for Less: Levi's Ripped High Waist Skinny Jeans

Levi's jeans look for less
You've probably seen these on all the fashion bloggers - the popular Levi's 721 Ripped High Waist Skinny Jeans. These feature two large rips on the knees and that's it. I love the look and I love Levi's but one thing I've learned is that jeans with prominent rips and distressing tend not to wash and wear all that well, which is why I'm eying this look for less at American Eagle. They're currently buy one, get one half off, too, which brings the price down further. And they come in short, regular and long lengths!
