Short and Sweet: Reese Witherspoon's Printed Shorts and Relaxed Tee Look for Less

ReeseWitherspoonPrintedShortRelaxedTee
Nothing says summer like playful colors, bold prints and bare legs. Reese Witherspoon showed some skin recently while sporting her Draper James Printed Bristol Short ($150). She paired the piece with a coordinating short sleeve tee, slingback sandals, delicate silver necklaces, silver studs and a pair of cat-eye sunglasses. Styled with a casual tee and minimalistic accessories, the Bristol Short is definitely the star of the show, plus the overall cut and pattern of the piece makes the casual ensemble look more put together. In addition to Reese's shorts, I am in love with the overall monochrome look — totally on trend right now. Recreate her look with these fabulous finds that won't break the bank....

Denim on Denim: Heidi Klum's Jean Jacket and Kick-Flare Look for Less

Heidi Klum Look for Less
Step into summer and say 'Hello' to longer days, warmer weather and new adventures with this double-denim look from Heidi Klum. Heidi styled her matching kick-flare jeans and jacket with a ribbed tank, platform wedges, tote bag, hat and hoop earrings. My favorite part of this look is her accessories. Her bright pink fedora really pops against the neutral palette and her fringe-accented tote bag is perfect for carrying all of the essentials. Another plus? This look is ideal for summer travels. Heidi's outfit is cute and comfortable making it perfect for long car rides, aerial excursions (as she demonstrates), or simple walks around the city. Check out my curated finds below to find amazing deals starting at just $3.90.

Sarong Chic: Hilary Duff's Denim Shirt and Wrapped Midi Skirt Look for Less

While stepping out in West Hollywood, Hilary Duff styled a bleached chambray shirt with a flowy skirt, white sandals and a cognac bucket bag. To top it all off, Hilary added mirrored-lens sunnies, stacks of gold bangles and a grey wool hat. More is more in the case of her accessories, which I tend to stray from, but I love the look here. Plus I'm obsessed with this skirt! The sarong shape and lightweight fabric makes me instantly think of summer, and the midi length is so chic. Hilary's shoes in this look are a flat gladiator style, but I decided to dress it up a bit with some wedge sandals with a similar strap detailing.

Demi Lovato's Floral Pant and Blazer Look for Less

One of my favorite parts of spring is the return of bright colors and bold, playful patterns. Demi Lovato shows us exactly how to rock the trend, without looking outlandish. Demi styled her colorful printed wide-leg pant with a black crop top, a longline tuxedo blazer, gold statement jewelry and a red-orange lip. Demi's shoes aren't visible, but I can only assume she paired the look with matching black platform sandals. I love the balance between bold and simple elements in this ensemble, and Demi ensured that her pants were the center of attention by wearing black on top.



Silver and Suede: Jessica Alba's White Lace Midi and Moto Jacket Look for Less

Suede and lace are everywhere for spring, especially with the influence from music festival season. Jessica Alba demonstrates how to take the trend into day wear with her pairing of a suede moto jacket with a flowy white dress. I love how Jessica styles the piece with reflective pointed-toe pumps, large cat-eye sunglasses and a simple metallic silver clutch. The monochrome details of her accessories only emphasize the bright white of the lace midi. The use of suede, instead of leather, in her coat adds to the overall femininity of this outfit and keeps the look soft. Read on to get Jessica's look for less...
