Back in Black: Victoria Beckham's Button-Up Blouse and Linen Trouser Look for Less

Victoria Beckham Look for Less
New York Fashion Week has come and gone, but we're still taking major style cues from the looks we've seen on stylish showgoers. Victoria Beckham's NYFW style is on point, and I'm loving all of the incorporated pieces from her own line. Here Victoria styles a pair of linen pants - oversized fit, naturally - with a classic collarless black button-up blouse. She also kept her accessories to a minimum, repeatedly wearing Victoria Beckham Flat Top Visor sunglasses ($392, pre-order), a large gold watch and strappy leather sandals...comfort and style, perfect for running from show to show. Staying true to the minimalist theme, Victoria wore a pinky-beige nude lip, which kept all eyes on her outfit. The look is relaxed and casual, yet still so chic! Shop my finds to recreate the look with pieces under $30 each.

Jean Queen: Bella Hadid's Distressed Mini Skirt and Perforated Leather Boots Look for Less

Bella Hadid Look for Less
Out of my entire wardrobe, my denim pieces are the most frequently worn. Not only is it affordable, it's so easy to style since it can fit into any aesthetic and can be paired with anything, including more denim! Here Bella Hadid mastered the double denim look by pairing a Levi's mini skirt with a lace-up white tank, matching denim jacket and perforated stiletto ankle boots. To accessorize, the model wore small silver hoop earrings, blue gradient aviators, layered choker and chain combo, and carried Fendi's Dotcom Lace-Up Leather Satchel ($2,900) with the brand's 'Strap You' Leather Guitar Bag Strap ($900). I'm really loving the return of denim basics and pairing pieces together totally reminds me of styles from the '90s and '00s — especially with the addition of the choker, another iconic piece from these eras. In this recreation I've kept the look near exact, including a similar toned satchel that also adds texture and depth through leather detailing, best part is it's under $60! Read on to shop my finds and literally save thousands on this look...

New York Fashion Week's runways showed tons of embellishments, accessories and accents, proving that contrary to the recent minimalist trend, this is definitely the year of 'more is more' in fashion. Here Hilary Duff flawlessly demonstrates how to balance both maximal and minimal style aesthetics by pairing Laurence Dacade 'Pete' Embroidered Velvet Ankle Boots ($990) with a navy sweater, dark skinny jeans and a warm brown bucket handbag. To top off the look Hilary wore trendy flat-lens sunglasses and a large gold ring on her middle finger. I live for these boots. The detailing, the materials, the silhouette — every aspect is amazing, except for the price tag. Read on to shop my finds including two comparable pairs of ankle boots to get Hilary's look without breaking the bank.

Back to Basics: Pixie Lott's White Bodysuit and Denim Flare Look for Less

Pixie Lott Look for Less
Pixie Lott's simple bodysuit styling is slowly becoming an obsession of mine. I love how effortless these looks are (like her black bodysuit and boyfriend jean outfit) yet she looks so put together. Pixie opted for a white spaghetti strap bodysuit paired with frayed flare ankle jeans, a black bowler satchel, black pointed flats and a gold sequined scrunchie. She kept her makeup simple with a pastel pink lip and bold winged eyeliner — a reflection of her current work starring as Holly Golightly in the musical adaptation of Breakfast at Tiffany's. We're seeing tons of decades reflected in this season's fashion trends and I love that Pixie incorporated many eras — especially the '80s/'90s throwback to the scrunchie...it's great for dressing up a thrown together top knot. Read on to score my style finds including my favorite eyeliner by Tarte ($20) to create a classic winged look for your next night out!

Whenever I think of Victoria Beckham, I instantly think of her time as Posh Spice — wardrobes consisting of black mini dresses, sharp stiletto heels, smoky eyes and chic clingy outfits showing off her svelte figure. Over time, her style has evolved and repeatedly Victoria has demonstrated that while her Spice Girl days are over, she still holds on to her posh sense of style. Here, dressed in Victoria Beckham and Celine, she pairs a classic tuxedo blouse with wide-leg crepe pants and flat leather sandals. For accessories Victoria stuck with the overall menswear style and wore a gold boyfriend watch, square sunglasses and a folded-over leather tote.
