A few days ago actress Blake Lively has been spotted running errands on the Gossip Girl set in what I would describe as a perfect casual summer ensemble. The blonde beauty paired a blue button down shirt over an off-white tank top which she wore with navy shorts and a tan skinny belt. Her look was finished with lustworthy chocolate brown Louboutin espadrille wedges and a tan bowler bag. Absolutely adorable! See our approach to Blake’s outfit with budget-friendly picks from Old Navy and Steve Madden below and let us know what you think of our Look 4 Less.

I’m often asked what celebrity’s style is most like mine. It’s difficult to answer because I pride myself on having my own unique style, but over time I spent a lot of time thinking about it (probably too much to admit) and always give the same answer: Olivia Palermo meets Vanessa Hudgens. So, when I saw this photo of Olivia looking garden party chic at a recent event I laughed. Why? Because her exact shoes are a purchase I made a few weeks ago. I guess 1/2 of my style response has been pretty on target – next time we see a photo of Vanessa Hudgens, I’ll test out the other half. Until then, I’m happy to see that Olivia’s feminine and sophisticated ensemble is easily attainable.

Not so long ago people were calling Lauren Conrad overexposed. Remember that? Well, the former reality star did a total 360 by spending so much of the last year out of the public eye. I’m not sure about all of you, but now, I just miss seeing her and her very West Coast style. I’m sure you can imagine my excitement when the paparazzi slipped us a little bit of Lauren earlier this month, looking fresh and adorable in this somewhat 70s inspired ensemble.

Back in March everyone’s favorite Armenian American socialite aka Kim Kardashian flaunted a green romper while out and about in Miami and I must admit I was totally smitten with Kim’s utilitarian look. It was so well put together without looking overdone. The green fitted Bebe romper was an ode to the current military trend but very subdued and not over-the-top. See our budget-friendly take on Kim’s look below and let us know what you think of it.

Everyone loves Rachel Bilson. Why? Because Rachel is a Hollywood actress that could have been any girl. Any girl, anywhere. Her adorable looks make her your girl next door and the way that her wardrobe choices look effortless and not too matchy or accessorized are reasons to love her. She’s a casual and simple beauty, until of course you take notice of her man-candy fiance. We won’t hold that against her though, afterall, we are imaginary best friends.

Givenchy‘s S/S 2010 collection was one of those collections that had to grow on me. First I was like “Where’s the color? What is it with all those stripes?” – I really wasn’t impressed. I’m still hesitant about the dirty-ish head-to-toe tribal looks and the weird conehead hats, but the rest I learned to love. Especially the striped blazer looks. See my take on one of the Givenchy runway looks below. You like?

Writing for a fashion blog is probably the best excuse for hours and hours of cyberstalking Shopbop
. God, I LOVE Shopbop! Their huge selection, the various price points from super cheap to super steep, the easy navigation and site design, the editorial section, their stylists, models and did I mention international shipping is free with orders of $100+? See, there are tons of reasons to love Shopbop. And when I checked their latest arrivals today I found yet one more to add to the list which is the styled look below. I adore the color combo, the layers, the easiness of the whole look; well, basically EVERYTHING about it! Absolute perfection! – ♥ ♥ ♥

D’uh! Of course, how could I forget the prices?! All of these gorgeous items cost more than what I’d normally spend on tops, belts, shoes and shorts. So what’s a girl with a limited budget to do? Easy, I put my look-4-less skills at test and tried to recreate Shopbop’s lovely look on a more budget-friendly basis. I’m quite happy with the outcome; it’s not a 100% match and not as charming as Shopbop’s version, but the overall look & feel is almost the same and price-wise it’s totally doable.

So a few posts ago Celine proposed to LuLu*s and since she didn’t get a definite answer yet I figured now is my chance to do the same. I am certain we would make the perfect couple actually. Cruisin’ LuLu*s newest arrivals is one of my new found hobbies and I almost always find something to drool over every day.
My obsession du jour is this cobalt blue floral printed romper. Lately, I find myself really attracted to this shade of deep blue and the vibrant color of this cute little thing is absolutely delicious, isn’t it? The floral accents give the solid blue a nice contrast and lighten it up which makes the romper perfect for wearing in the summer. And although I do think it is a wee bit short I’m also sure there couldn’t be a better motivation to hit the gym than wanting to rock this electric blue number with nicely tanned & toned legs.

Diane Kruger is one of my absolute red carpet favorites. She’s always so flawless and on-point when attending public events. You’ll never catch her wearing some boring black dress or follow a trend blindly. She has impeccable taste and this reflects in her red carpet outings. Case in point: Diane wearing a black velvet jumpsuit (in fact, it’s a combination of matching blouse + pants, but it looks like a one-piece to me). Isn’t it just gorgeous on her? It’s not easy to pull off a velvet jumpsuit, but Diane masters it perfectly.

If you’re still looking for a holiday outfit and don’t want to wear what everyone else is going to wear, why don’t you opt for Diane’s look instead? I like that ASOS’ version is more snug and doesn’t have the exaggerated hips which can be quite hard to carry off if you’re not a runway model. Add a studded belt, statement shoes or a bright clutch to make your outfit pop and prevent it from looking dull. Also available in teal.

Now is this a statement item or what? The shocking pink Adam jumpsuit below sure isn’t for the faint of heart, so wear with caution. Putting it on will guarantee to make you the center of attention. Finish off your outfit with black stilettos and turquoise accessories and you’re set to make a colorful impact.

This super cute romper from LuLu’s is a great alternative if you are looking for a similar style. I know the color of the LuLu’s version isn’t a 100% match, but it’s pretty close and also super cheap at $35.
