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.

When skinny jeans first debuted (or should I say most recently debuted) a few years back, I really, truly thought it was a trend that would come and go. And that neither I, nor anyone larger than a size four would partake. Well. Now I’m eating my words and then some. Skinnies arrived and they’re better now than in the 80s, because they’re not all high-waisted and acid washed, and because denim has come a long way, baby. It stretches, hugs, lifts, and is more comfortable than ever before. Which is why Vanessa Hudgens practically lives in her Nudie Jeans. And why not? They’re as versatile as leggings—without the need to cover your you-know-what.

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.

In the last 2 years Kim Kardashian has made an impressive turn-around in the style department. Gone are the Juicy Couture sweatpants and too tight Hervé Léger mini dresses and in come demure outfits, elegant dresses and fab shopping looks. We’re big fans of Kim’s style transformation and love her casual chic outfit below.

Lauren Conrad was doing some retail therapy in Beverly Hills a few days ago looking chic as ever in a yellow tank top and a pair of dark washed Levi’s legging jeans which she paired with her signature Marc by Marc Jacobs bag and Miu Miu sandals. I was looking for what feels like forever for the perfect dark washed skinny jeans and I think I may just have found it! Yeah, I’m a real sucker for dark washed denim.

Finding a good pair of jeans is one of the toughest quests I have ever been confronted with as a shopper. It’s so hard to find a jeans that you feel comfortable in AND which looks good on you. At least for me. I always restrain from buying jeans online, but these Balmain biker jeans would be clearly an exception if they weren’t out of my budget.

UPDATE (08/28/2009): Found another Balmain skinny jeans knockoff by Bebe.

Bebe Stitched Knee Skinny Jean

Bebe was once again heavily inspired by Balmain. This jeans is not a knockoff per sé because the stitching on the knees differs slightly and the zip detail is on the outside, but it’s obviously an attempt to recreate Balmain’s iconic rocker/biker jeans.

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.

Rihanna has worn a multitude of fabulous things last week and I wanted to give you all a small update on her latest fab acquisitions. I loved her black Alexander McQueen killer zip up booties which she wore to Fred Segal on June 02, 2009. A few days before, Rihanna looked incredibly sexy in a one shouldered Alexander Wang LBD. On that same day Rihanna also sported a casual outfit by pairing a white Brian Reyes vest together with a blue MiH Jeans skinny jeans. Keep on going, RiRi!
