Shades of Gray: Heidi Klum's Suede Booties and Skinny Jean Look for Less

Heidi Klum
Step into fall with this look inspired by Heidi Klum! Not only is this look perfect for those cooler days, but the pieces are so basic that you can mix and match with items you may already have stashed in your closet! Heidi mixes up a monochromatic look by pairing different shades of gray and pops of black with her scarf, and in our recreation, her retro sunglasses. Comfy enough for travel like Heidi, but cute for a day on the town too. The ankle booties truly make this outfit, and the Sam & Libby Audrey Booties that we found are extremely similar and only $44.99! Read on to get the look for less...

Metallic Motif: Maria Menounos's Graphic Tee and Silver Oxfords Look for Less

Maria Menounos
Maria Menounos showed up to Taylor Swift's 1989 World Tour ready to rock. Everything about this outfit says rocker chic, from her metallic oxfords to her wine-hued hat. We stayed true to Maria's style by including the smaller details like her colored beaded bracelets, black crossbody and a similar graphic muscle tee. Maria's exact You Got A Friend Muscle Tee, retails for $90, is made by Juicy Couture founders Pam & Gela and for each tee purchased $10 is donated to Girls, Inc. Personally, I can't think of a better excuse to splurge on a shirt, especially since the other pieces in this look are so affordable! Read on to get the look for less...

Uptown Chic: Nicky Hilton's Neutral Look for Less

Nicky Hilton
Not ready to give up your summer whites? Ignore the classic Labor Day rule and take a cue from Nicky Hilton. In this look she pairs a crisp white vest with muted neutrals to create a chic ensemble — perfect for getting the most out of your summer wardrobe! We love how Nicky strays from the monochromatic look and mixes up her outfit with shades of blushed nudes, muted beiges and the addition of the animal print bag. In this recreation we stayed true to the look with similar hues and accessories. Our favorite find? Lulu's 'Aisle Be Waiting' Pumps ($34) which are almost an exact match for Nicky's Christian Louboutin 'So Kate' Nude Pumps ($675) and just a fraction of the cost! Read on to get the look for less...

Taylor Swift's Black Denim Overalls and Crop Top Look for Less

Taylor Swift Look for Less
Taylor Swift rocked this look in late May, but we think it's absolute perfection as we transition into fall! We love the oxblood purse for this season, and how Taylor's nineties-inspired overalls have been updated with a slim fit and a low waist to show off her ribbed crop top.



White Haute: Jessica Alba's Cut-Out Dress and Silver Platforms Look for Less

Jessica Alba Look for Less
Looking to take your daytime look to a whole new level? Follow Jessica Alba's lead and step out in a glamorous dress. This fall is all about the LWD — the little white dress! The Honest Company co-founder showed off her LWD when she wore this gorgeous Giambattista Valli Petal-Embellished Cut-Out Dress, which retails for a cool $4,461 (currently on sale for $2,230). Our replica dress from ASOS retails for just $25.50! We love that the white dress is the focal point of this ensemble and in our recreation we kept the look similar by pairing the dress with simple silver accessories — including these fabulous thick-heeled silver sandals! The denim jacket tones down the formal look of the white dress making it easy to transition this look to daywear. Read on to get the look for less...
