Get Reese Witherspoon's Gorgeous-in-Gingham Look

Reese Witherspoon Gingham Top and Off-White Skirt Look for Less
Reese Witherspoon is the embodiment of summer style in her Draper James gingham top, off-white skirt and brown platform wedge sandals.

Finishing off the look with some glam cateye sunglasses, gold jewelry, and a seasonally chic straw tote, the actress-turned-fashion-designer is the only advertising that her brand needs.

I included Reese's exact top in today's look for those who want to splurge a little, plus some amazing budget-friendlier options like this LOFT top! When you mix gingham, straw and strappy sandals, it's hard to go wrong!

My $5 Pineapple Tee and More Amazing Summer Finds at Target

The Budget Babe reviews summer styles at Target.
Pineapple prints, colorful lace, gingham checks, madras plaid and more amazing summer fashions greeted me at my local Target store yesterday. I had one of those extremely rare, super-successful shopping trips with both kiddos (candy bribes may or may not have been involved) and was able to snap some pics and try on a few items, too!

Shown above: Pineapple tee (just $5!) and Mossimo Low-Rise Boyfriend Shorts 6" Inseam, wearing size 4/27 (fit is TTS). I think this is the pair online but can't quite tell for sure.

Jourdan Dunn is Statuesque in Striped Pants

Jourdan Dunn wears vertical stripe pants with an oversized denim jacket and sneakers.
British supermodel Jourdan Dunn made a stylish entrance in vertical stripe pants, a black bodysuit, and oversized denim jacket as she arrived at Nice Airport France on her way to the 70th Cannes Film Festival.

I love how the model plays with proportions in this look, from the wide leg pants to the sleek bodysuit top, to the boxy jacket with exaggerated sleeves.

I also love her choice of a graphic black and white color palette - so good for summer! She finishes the look with sporty yet sleek black patent sneakers, and retro top-frame sunglasses which we're seeing everywhere lately.

Really, is there anything not to love about Jourdan's look?! Steal her vibes with the affordable fashion finds below...

Emily Ratajkowski's Double Denim and Floral Top Look for Less

Emily Ratajkowski wears a Levi's denim jacket while jet-setting from Nice, France.
Emily Ratajkowski wore denim on denim as she made her way through Nice airport during the 70th annual Cannes Film Festival.

This is no Canadian tuxedo fashion faux-pas: The star expertly mixed her two-tone Levi's denim jacket in Remixed Indigo ($188, levi.com) with her Attico floral chiffon top ($800, netaporter.com), skinny jeans and cognac open-toe ankle strap heel sandals for a laid-back look that's feminine and a touch bohemian.

I love the simplicity of this outfit for spring and summer. Of course now I'm convinced that I, too, need a two-tone denim jacket and I found the perfect one by Mango that's under $100.

Read on to score all of Emily's must-have looks for less...
