Celeb Style Notebook: Olivia Palermo's Skirt for Less than $40!

It's been almost a week since the Lilly for Target launch and the buzz has already shifted to the latest designer collaboration, the gorgeous Milly for DesigNation sold at Kohls. Since Olivia Palermo has become a style icon, it's no surprise that her chic look from the launch party is circulating everywhere and for good reason since many of us already have a closet full of chambray and denim shirts (if you don't, now is the time to scoop one up). This is a perfect way to break up a busy floral print and mix and match items you already own.

Would you wear this look?

Celeb Style Notebook: Emmy Rossum wearing Peter Som for Kohls!

Actress Emmy Rossum is becoming quite the fashionista (she was the previous celeb look on my blog) and this week she was spotted wearing the latest designer collaboration from Peter Som for Kohls.

It's probably no secret if you read my blog that I looove stripes and this is actually one of my purchases I ordered from his collection. While she looks cute pairing her top with black shorts, I plan on wearing mine with boyfriend jeans or these distressed denim shorts from Target I just ordered. Either way, it's a chic way to wear a few basics.

How would you style the striped top?

Celebrity Style Notebook: Taylor Swift wearing H&M!

Taylor Swift wearing a $15 retro-style polka dress from H&M while out shopping in Los Angeles is creating all sorts of online buzz. Celebrity style is usual way out of the average person's affordable budget, but since this is the actual dress and it is currently in stock (although not for long I'm sure!), you can get chic like a star. Even if you aren't feeling the Taylor love, the dress is very cute and easy to wear for a casual weekend. While I don't own this dress, I have seen it many times in various colors and keep in mind, it is not a super short dress, Taylor is just a tall girl.

What do think - would you wear a Taylor approved dress?

H&M Dress $14.95

Also available in a cool marbled grey and textured red

Celeb Style Notebook: Reese Witherspoon + Sale Codes + Free Weekend Deals!!

I am always a fan of Reese Witherspoon's easy and chic style. She puts the prep in her (Christian Louboutin ) step and looks pulled together for a day of errands in Beverly Hills this week. Reese's shoes would cost you almost $600 and her Saint Laurent bag is close to $3,000! I found some wardrobe basics similar to her pieces without the designer price tag.

Jessica Alba looks effortless chic at the Piperlime celebration to welcome her as their new guest editor. If you purchased this entire look if would cost you around $100, while Jessica's clutch alone is $200! While I love the idea of mixing different prints and patterns together, I never actually do it.

Model Kate Upton looking simple chic leaving her hotel room in New York over the weekend.

{celeb style notebook} Gwen Stefani

Gwen Stefani may be one of the most stylish celebs around and her Memorial Day outfit is an easy way for us fashion lovers to rock a similar look for less with pieces many of us already own. Although I love Gwen's red bag, for most of us, it is nearly impossible to match two shades of red in the same outfit and I prefer this black bag as an alternative (it is a beautiful bag in person). While I couldn't find her edgier pant, Mango has so many white pant options perfect for summer. My favorite find has to be the shoes, a true steal for less than $20 and almost identical to Gwen's more expensive wedges.

How would you style this look for yourself? 

1 Candies Cat Eyes Sunglasses $7.80 (reg $26)// 2 F21 Striped Hi-Lo Tank $12.80// 3 Mango Crop Trousers $29.99// 4 OPI in "Cajun Shrimp" $9// 5 F21 Faux Leather Bag $29.80// 6 Payless Wedge $18.99 (reg $25)

*Check out  Mango and type "white pants" in the search box for all the white pant options.

Handbag Deal for a red bag(s):

Love Culture Double Leatherette Hobo Bag $19.45 ($38.90)

 The hobo bag includes the small crossbody bag!

The Splurge:

The Limited Jacket $118

Gingham style!
