Don’t tell anyone, but I’m a Kim Kardashian style stalker. It’s one of my (few) guilty pleasures. For some reason I have this weird fascination with whatever Kim K. wears; I need to identify it, recreate it or simply gush about it. Yup, you can call me strange. I guess Monica Rose, Kim’s stylist, does a very good job because I know I’m not the only one digging Kim’s newly evolved style.

I jumped on the skinny cargo movement a couple months back, so you know I just adore Leighton Meester in this utilitarian look. I didn’t think skinny cargos could be flattering, but the more I see them on, the more I am proved wrong. Leighton’s look may be neutral, but it’s anything but boring. And the best part is it is so easy to recreate, as you can see below.

Hollywood’s PYTs (= Pretty Young Things) are looking really good lately. First we had Miley Cyrus donning French Chic with clogs and now we have a fabulous laid-back red carpet outfit of Vanessa Hudgens. The Disney star rocked a Madewell suede biker jacket with a white peasant top, her favorite Nudie skinny jeans, matching slingbacks by Joie and a knuckle ring by Made Her Think at the Premiere of Disney California Adventure Park’s “World of Color” in Anaheim last week. I’m also crushing on V’s loose fishtail braid.

Miley Cyrus is not the first name coming to my mind when thinking about a stylish person. That’s mostly because every other time I see pictures of her she’s either wearing a skimpy stage outfit or denim cutoffs with a tank top and cowboy boots and well, let’s just say that this isn’t exactly my idea of a stylish person. But I recently stumbled upon these candid shots of Miley out & about in Toluca Lake doing her best French Chic look and I’m somewhat smitten with it. The songstress wore a striped Elizabeth and James pocket tee, a pair JET skinny jeans and yup, you guessed it right, a pair of so-hot-right-now Jeffrey Campbell “Charli” clogs. Her best accessory though? The arm candy aka boyf Liam Hemsworth. Yummy!

During Kim Kardashian‘s recent trip to Miami she spent lots of quality time with her little nephew Mason, got a golden glow on the beach and most up-my-alley, wore fabulous outfit after outfit…well, after outfit. How totally Kardashian of her! Here she attended the Miami Open in jeans and a blazer with Louboutins that I love, don’t you? It’s a look that’s laid-back enough that almost anyone can pull it off. Give it a try.

Vanessa Hudgens makes casual chic look so effortless, doesn’t she? She’s just adorable, and she consistently manages to look comfy—without looking sloppy (unlike those famous twins who have elevated bag lady chic to an art form). While Vanessa likely has access to myriad designer labels and pieces, in her everyday life, she tends to keep it real. So real, in fact, that almost anyone can steal this look, as all the pieces are standard ready-to-wear, at glorious ready-to-wear prices.

I love Balmain and their jeans sure look amazing, but let’s be serious: who would want to spend more than $2000 on a pair of jeans (celebrities and oil sheikh family members excluded)? I know I wouldn’t.

Vintage1 Serena Motorcycle Zipper Skinny Jean
If you can’t or don’t want to spend so much $$$ on denim, but still crave the Balmain rock chick jeans, you can buy this Balmain inspired version by Vintage1 which will save you more than 90% of the original’s price (and still they’re around $200 which is not that cheap for most of us). Celebrities like Rihanna and Cameron Diaz have been spotted wearing these Balmain look-a-like jeans.

Rockstar Denim Ripped Biker Zip Bottom Jean
If you’re willing to spend a bit more to get a closer Balmain look, you might consider these jeans by Rockstar Denim to be a good alternative. As you can see, the stitching detail on the knees is almost identical though this version has a distressed, ripped look which the Balmain jeans don’t have.

You know when bad style happens? Usually when celebs—or mere mortals—are trudging through everyday life: to the gym, to the gas station, to pick up the kids, to the salon. Unlike some celebs who think sloppy is permissible (or synonymous) with casual wear, Kim Kardashian knows that casual can still be chic. Her latest wardrobe trick is to throw a blazer over a long-ish top, add skinny jeans and a perilously high bootie, and POOF! It’s the perfect, practical, photo-appropriate, running-errands outfit.

Jeans will never go out of style. EVER. There might be small changes made each season, but you will always find a fashion mag declaring the return of the fashionable jeans. Destroyed skinny jeans seem to be le dernier cri right now. And even though I am a little hesitant towards white jeans, I must confess I quite like this one below.

Bebe Carmen Super Destroyed Skinny Jean
If you don’t want to spend quite that much on one jeans, Bebe’s version might be just what you were looking for. The cut and look of both jeans is pretty much the same, but you’ll save $79 by opting for the Bebe jeans instead. Also available in black if you prefer a more subtle color.

We haven’t featured Vanessa Hudgens on this site for quite some time. Not because we didn’t want to, but basically because she managed to keep herself out of paparazzi’s reach in the last few weeks. But finally we have some new candids of her from July 4, where she was caught with boyfriend Zac Efron on their way to dinner. Vanessa kept her outfit low-key by wearing a Lauren Moshi swing tank, Siwy denim shorts, a Cole Haan crossbody bag and metallic Miu Miu gladiator flats.
