Every week, I scour the web to find inspiring outfits on your favorite celebs and help you recreate their looks! This week, I was inspired by Olivia Palermo, Keira Knightley, and Kate Bosworth. Read on to see how you can get their looks for yourself.

Olivia Palermo has been putting the warm weather to good use lately, being photographed all over New York City in some true-to-form fabulous ensembles. Ms. Palermo always manages to make a statement while keeping her looks chic and classy. This week, she donned bright patterned shorts, a white V-neck blouse, a woven tote bag, and some orange flats.

I love Olivia’s look for a day of shopping or lunching with friends. Colorful, printed shorts are a summer staple, and can be dressed up for nighttime with a pair of heels and statement jewelry. For day, however, try pair them with some bright flats like Olivia’s, a woven tote bag perfect for the summer months, and a fun chunky bracelet. To add an extra touch of Olivia’s classic style, finish with a pair of cat-eye sunglasses.
Look 2: Keira Knightley’s Relaxed Night Out Look

Newly engaged actress Keira Knightley stepped out recently in a black maxi dress with front button detailing, a denim jacket, leather belt, leather shoulder bag, and some flat sandals.
Overall, Keira’s look is casual but still fashion-forward, and centers around accessories. Her brown leather belt helps to emphasize her physique, the embellishments on her sandals add a touch of femininity, and her denim jacket gives the look a downtown vibe.

A black maxi dress can take you from day to night this season, and can work for a variety of different settings. I know I couldn’t live without my own black maxi – I probably wear it once a week! The black maxi dress shown above has buttons running down the front, making it similar to Keira’s – cinch it at the waist with a brown leather belt. A denim jacket makes the outfit more casual, while embellished sandals keep you comfy yet cute.
Look 3: Kate Bosworth is a Boho Beauty

Kate Bosworth rocked a flirty boho look while out and about on a sunny day. Her look centered around a printed dress with ultra-trendy shoulder cutouts. She chose accessories that were in keeping with the boho-trendy vibe, adding a leather saddlebag, suede ankle booties, and a beaded Y-shape necklace.

A printed dress with shoulder cutouts is a fun and flirty addition to your summer wardrobe. It can be worn with simple accessories, since it makes a statement on its own, or with boho accessories, as seen in Kate’s look. A geometric Y-neck necklace plays on the unique neckline of the dress, while rugged ankle booties balance out the feminine frock. A saddlebag adds another cute boho touch, while classic sunglasses finish the look.

Every week, I scour the web to find inspiring outfits on your favorite celebs and help you recreate their looks! This week, I was inspired by Hilary Duff, Lo Bosworth, and Jessica Szohr. Read on to see how you can get their looks for yourself.
Look 1: Hilary Duff’s Cool Casuals
Hilary Duff was all over Paris this past week, and demonstrated how to look chic in casual basics by choosing neutral colors and trendy accessories. She wore skinny jeans with an olive green button-down shirt, which she tied up over the top of her jeans. She wore a black leather jacket on top, and accessorized with an oversize green Balenciaga motorcycle bag, large teardrop earrings, and black pumps.

Hilary’s look starts off with some medium wash skinny jeans. Next, you can find a basic green button-down shirt at Old Navy; make it look chic by using Hilary’s trick of tying it up over your jeans or tucking it in. The black pumps complement a simple black leather jacket, and a matching green satchel (with zipper detailing reminiscent of Hilary’s Balenciaga) pulls the look together.
Look 2: Lo Bosworth’s Neutrals with a Pop of Color
Lo Bosworth looked runway-ready in nude, slouchy trousers and a simple white blouse this week. She gave the look a pop of color by adding a bright pink Balenciaga motorcycle bag. (Recognize the bag? It’s a smaller version of Hilary’s!) She also wore some camel-colored sandals with straps and buckles, as well as an eye necklace and Ray Ban aviators. Lo’s outfit definitely got me in the mood for spring, and I like how it looks chic (and professional) while maintaining a very relaxed and comfortable silhouette.

Topshop has a great selection of pants and trousers in interesting shapes; these particular trousers feature a paper-bag waistline and a loose, comfortable fit. Tuck a white or cream blouse into them, and wear a subtle yet statement-making necklace, like this eye pendant. Although I couldn’t find a close replica of Lo’s bag in pink, this bright blue satchel looks a lot like Lo’s Balenciaga and adds a pop of color to the ensemble. Finish with aviator sunglasses and chunky heeled sandals to complete your look.
Look 3: Jessica Szohr’s Updated Grunge
Jessica Szohr attended a movie premiere in NYC this week and took a classic grunge look into high-fashion territory with a few simple extras. She began with an oversized plaid button down paired with black skinny jeans (hello, grunge), but added extra style with heeled booties, a black peacoat, and a black cloche hat, as well as a black shoulder bag and contrasting brown belt. Notice how she lets the sleeves of her plaid shirt peek out of her coat, breaking up the darkness of her outfit and putting the focus on the pattern.

The main element of Jessica’s outfit is the plaid shirt – to really nail her look, go for one with red and black accents in it. A black tank top or t-shirt, worn underneath, will allow you to leave the shirt unbuttoned – just be sure to tuck it into your black skinny jeans and brown woven belt. On top, wear a black pea coat (and make sure the sleeves of your plaid shirt peek out!), and accessorize with a black cloche hat, a black shoulder bag, and booties — these lace-up ones have gold detailing, which adds a girly touch to this tough look.
