Celebrity Street Style of the Week: Alessandra Ambrosio, Audrina Patridge, & Nina Dobrev May 6th, 2013
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 Alessandra Ambrosio, Audrina Patridge, and Nina Dobrev. Read on to see how you can get their looks for yourself.
Look 1: Alessandra Ambrosio’s Summer Fun Look

Supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio always gives off that laid-back, beach girl vibe, and now that the weather is warming up, she gets to show off her awesome boho-inspired style.
This week, she wore beachy striped shorts with a wide brown belt, a chambray shirt, a low slung bag, flat sandals, and cool sunglasses. I love the combo of her denim shirt and her printed shorts; together, they create a look that’s both relaxed and put-together.

Shorts, Top, Sunglasses, Bag, Bracelets, Sandals
These striped shorts are great for warm seasons and would make any outfit more vibrant — the print and colors are so fun and summery. Pair them with a denim or chambray shirt and summer-appropriate accessories like eclectic bracelets, a buckled crossbody bag, cool sunglasses, and flat sandals. This outfit is perfect for a casual day out and about.
Look 2: Audrina Patridge’s Sleek Snake Look

Audrina Patridge was spotted out on the town in some super cool snake-print skinny jeans, a black asymmetrical top, long necklace, black heels and a black quilted handbag.
Audrina’s printed jeans make quite a statement, as does her top, thanks to its unique cut. Printed jeans are still a huge trend — expect them to stay around for awhile! That said, floral prints generally dominate this trend, so a snake print is a sleek alternative that’s especially perfect for a night out.
Outfit Inspired by Audrina
Top, Jeans, Necklace, Bag, Shoes
These gray snake print skinny jeans make a cool statement and are perfect for a night out on the town when paired with sleek black accessories. Chic black pumps and a quilted bag round off the jeans, and a long pendant necklace adds some shine to a black asymmetrical top. This top is definitely a standout piece due to its on-trend hemline.
Look 3: Nina Dobrev’s Beach Ready Look

Nina Dobrev soaked up the sunshine in Miami with friends this week, but didn’t lose her sense of style even when on the beach. She looked casual and summery in some seafoam green denim shorts, an open-knit sweater (ideal for a warm, yet breezy day), a light-colored straw fedora hat, and flat sandals.
While Nina wore this outfit as a bathing suit cover-up, her look would be equally awesome for non-beach days.
Outfit Inspired by Nina
Shorts, Sweater, Hat, Necklace, Sunglasses, Sandals
Seafoam green denim shorts add a fun pop of color to any outfit, and are so perfect for spring and summer. A cream-colored sweater with open-knit weaving looks laid-back and cute when paired with the shorts and a matching straw fedora hat.
Flat sandals – these have a pretty floral cutout design and metallic color – keep things casual. Lastly, accessorize with a long pendant necklace that features an adorable elephant and beading to tie together all the colors found throughout the outfit.

Celebrity Street Style of the Week: Kourtney Kardashian, Jessica Szohr, & Ashley Tisdale April 30th, 2013
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 Kourtney Kardashian, Jessica Szohr, and Ashley Tisdale. Read on to see how you can get their looks for yourself.
Look 1: Kourtney Kardashian’s London Look
Photo: Pacific Coast News
Kourtney Kardashian looked trendy while abroad in London with her family. The stylish star wore red skinny jeans with black riding boots and a navy military-esque blazer featuring buttons and fun gold pins. She accessorized her look with oversized sunglasses (a Kardashian signature) and a black bag.
Kourtney’s outfit is great spring inspiration since it has a classic look to it, thanks to its equestrian feel, but is also really current, incorporating fun spring trends like colored skinny jeans and oversized shades.
Outfit Inspired by Kourtney
Jeans, Blazer, Sunglasses, Boots, Bag
Colored skinny jeans have been an ongoing trend for a while now, and it seems like they’re here to stay. What’s not to love, though? Outfits can always benefit from a pop of color, and colored denim is a great alternative to basic blue.
Some red skinny jeans totally pop in Kourtney’s look when paired with classic pieces like black riding boots and a navy military-esque blazer. To keep things trendy, accessorize with some oversized sunglasses and a black satchel bag — this one has gold chain detailing which gives it extra flair.
Look 2: Jessica Szohr’s White Night Out
Photo: Pacific Coast News
Actress Jessica Szohr turned heads while out for the night in Hollywood in a white lace mini dress and some awesome coral-colored pumps. Jessica’s look is perfect for spring or summer – I’m in love with how the bright coral contrasts with her white dress, giving the basic outfit a perfect pop of color.
The best part? This look can work day or night for any event that requires you dress up a bit.
Outfit Inspired by Jessica
Dress, Necklace, Pumps, Clutch
I am a big fan of the little white dress, especially during the spring and summer, because it has such a light, breezy vibe. This white lace dress, similar to Jessica’s, really pops with the help of some coral peep-toe pumps. (Bonus: Coral is another hue that is so perfect for this season!) A rhinestone statement necklace adds extra interest to the look, as does a black and white zig-zag print clutch.
Look 3: Ashley Tisdale’s Walk on the Wild Side
Photo: Pacific Coast News
Ashley Tisdale tried out a “wild” look while out and about with her adorable dog in Los Angeles. She wore some faded leopard-print skinny jeans cuffed at the ankle with black low-top Converse sneakers, a loose white tank top, a long pendant necklace, and a gray beanie hat.
Ashley’s look is great because it’s super laid-back (and comfy!), but with trendy touches like the leopard print, necklace, and beanie, this ensemble will also stand out in any crowd.
Outfit Inspired by Ashley
Jeans, Top, Beanie Hat, Necklace, Sneakers
These leopard print skinny jeans have a faded look to them that makes them super-similar to Ashley’s, which is awesome because the fading means the print won’t become overwhelming. A casual, loose, white tank top also helps balance out the jeans, while a long pendant necklace adds a feminine touch. Accessorize with classic Converse sneakers and a beanie hat like Ashley for a chill look, or try flat sandals and a denim button-down shirt for a different twist.

Celebrity Street Style of the Week: Julianne Hough, Alessandra Ambrosio, & Gwen Stefani January 29th, 2013
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 Julianne Hough, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Gwen Stefani, who all centered their outfits around bold, printed pieces. Read on to see how you can get their looks for yourself.
Look 1: Julianne Hough’s Trendy Camo Pants
Photo: Pacific Coast News
Julianne Hough rocked the camouflage skinny jeans trend, making her pants the focus of her outfit. To make camo print look fashion-forward, Julianne paired her pants with trendy pieces like a graphic print t-shirt, a black floppy hat, silver aviators, and black booties.
I love this look for college girls because it’s a simple alternative to regular jeans and a t-shirt– this look will feel just as comfy, (and is just as easy to wear) as your basic jeans-and-tee uniform, but the unexpected print makes it extra trendy and fun.
Outfit Inspired by Julianne
Jeans, Top, Hat, Necklace, Sunglasses, Booties
Don’t let the bold print fool you – camo print skinny jeans are actually surprisingly versatile. For this look, pair them with a simple yet cute graphic print top in a neutral color. (Other ways to wear camo jeans include pairing them with a denim shirt, or with a chunky sweater in a rich color.)
Make this look really stand out by finishing it off with some fun accessories, like a floppy felt hat, a pendant necklace, some silver aviator sunglasses, and some cool black ankle booties.
Look 2: Alessandra Ambrosio’s Walk on the Wild Side
Photo: Pacific Coast News
Supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio is known for her carefree style, and she didn’t disappoint this week, stepping out in some patterned skinny jeans that put a modern twist on classic zebra print. To balance out the boldness of her jeans, Alessandra kept the rest of her look super neutral, adding a casual gray top and some cool silver sneakers. She kept accessories casual, too, finishing with a slouchy black bag, sunglasses, and a pendant necklace.
Outfit Inspired by Alessandra
Jeans, Top, Necklace, Sneakers, Sunglasses
Alessandra’s look proves that animal prints don’t always have to be loud and colorful – they can easily be toned down with modern accessories and a neutral color palette.
This outfit is a twist on a classic monochromatic look, in that it is mostly gray, featuring varying shades of the color. The combination of unique high top sneakers, some gray giraffe-print jeans, and a slouchy light gray top creates a look with an almost Scandanavian feel. It’s also very “model-off-duty”.
Look 3: Gwen Stefani has been “Spotted”
Photo: Pacific Coast News
Rocker Gwen Stefani also rocked a bold print this week, stepping out in a dotted Michael Kors sweatshirt paired with some army green skinny jeans, black booties, and white plastic sunglasses in a fun shape. Unlike Alessandra and Julianne, who wore their prints on their pants, Gwen went for a printed top and more casual jeans; I like how she mixed black and white with army green, and, of course, that she topped it off with her signature red lipstick!
Outfit Inspired by Gwen
Sweater, Jeans, Sunglasses, Bag, Booties
A black and white dotted top or sweater makes a pair of army green skinny jeans stand out in a crowd. To accessorize, be sure to keep your extras in the same color family – try black ankle boots, a chic bag like this structured white one, and some fun white plastic sunglasses. To make the look a bit more glamorous, go for some red lipstick like Gwen, whether it’s day or night!

Celebrity Street Style of the Week: Malin Akerman, Reese Witherspoon, & Nicky Hilton December 27th, 2012
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 Malin Akerman, Reese Witherspoon, and Nicky Hilton. Read on to see how you can get their looks for yourself.
Look 1: Malin Akerman’s Bold Maxi Dress
Photo: Pacific Coast News
Actress Malin Akerman spiced up a simple black maxi dress with some bold pieces for a statement-making look. She wore her basic black dress with a brown motorcycle jacket, a leopard print scarf, and some fab black booties.
You may normally think of wearing maxi dresses in the summer and spring, but by adding cool boots, along with a scarf and jacket (and maybe some leggings underneath if it’s cold where you are), you can easily rock these summer staples in colder weather.
Outfit Inspired by Malin
Dress, Jacket, Scarf, Boots, Bracelet
I was digging the brown and black combo that Malin had going on, and I especially loved how the leopard scarf tied the colors together. To get a similar look, start with the dress and scarf. A slouchy motorcycle jacket complements the outfit’s bold vibe, as do some cool spiked bracelets. Wear black ankle booties to finish off the look – you could go for the slouchy, tough-girl vibe with boots like Malin’s, or try booties with a small heel for some chic height.
Look 2: Reese Witherspoon’s Classic Preppy Look
Photo: Pacific Coast News
Reese Witherspoon is known for her classically preppy style, and this week, she stayed true to her aesthetic in a red checked shirt, a black sweater, black skinny jeans, quilted riding boots, and a camel-colored wool coat.
I love Reese’s outfit for its subtle pop of color: Her shirt adds a fun hint of color and print to her all-black ensemble, while the coat and boots pull it all together.
Outfit Inspired by Reese
Coat, Jeans, Shirt, Sweater, Boots, Sunglasses
I’m a big fan of wearing black on black, because it’s not only chic, but could not be easier to put together. By adding touches like quilted riding boots and a pop of pattern from a checkered shirt, the outfit becomes more than basic. Finish the outfit off with a camel-colored coat for some much-needed contrast… and warmth!
Look 3: Nicky Hilton’s Trendy Urban-Chic Look
Photo: Pacific Coast News
Nicky Hilton rocked the wedge sneaker trend while doing some shopping this week. Her look was trendy but functional for a day around town, consisting of stretchy acid-wash skinny jeans, a black sweater, and an olive green coat with fur-trimmed hood. Much like Reese, Nicky stuck to a dark color palette and let her coat and shoes do all the talking.
Outfit Inspired by Nicky
Coat, Jeans, Sweater, Sunglasses, Sneakers
This look starts with a simple combo: acid wash jeans and a black sweater, after all, are super easy to throw together. (Black jeans or jeggings would work here, too.) Make your outfit stand out by trying some wedge sneakers – these ones boast an olive green color to match the army green puffer coat. The coat itself, the finishing piece, is awesome because it looks super warm, and its black toggle detailing makes a chic little statement.

Celebrity Street Style of the Week: Jessica Alba, Cheryl Cole, & Ashley Benson November 19th, 2012
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 Jessica Alba, Cheryl Cole, and Ashley Benson. Read on to see how you can get their looks for yourself.
Look 1: Jessica Alba’s Cozy Chic Ensemble
Photo: Pacific Coast News
Jessica Alba looked cozy yet super stylish this week in an outfit consisting of boyfriend jeans, a soft gray sweater, a cropped fur vest, and heeled lace-up booties.
I think we can all agree that any outfit that looks stylish but focuses on comfort is a winner, and Jessica’s look does just that. The baggy fit of her boyfriend jeans makes them comfortable – though they’re still a step up from leggings or sweats – while her soft oversized sweater also keeps with the cozy feel. Not one to stop there, however, Jessica also added eye-catching pieces like a fur vest and heeled booties. These details win her look some extra style points.
Outfit Inspired by Jessica
Jeans, Faux Fur Vest, Sweater, Booties, Necklace
Boyfriend jeans are awesome because they’re just as comfortable as they are fashionable. Pair some with a loose-fitting light gray sweater, and give the look an infusion of style with a cropped faux fur vest and some lace-up booties. Accessorize with a simple yet cute pendant necklace.
This outfit is especially perfect for this time of year. On one hand, it would be perfect for a trendy mountain lodge vacation, yet it is great for a normal day of shopping or casual holiday festivities.
Look 2: Cheryl Cole’s Classy Camouflage
Photo: Pacific Coast News
Songstress Cheryl Cole stepped out in London in a pair of show-stopping camouflage skinny jeans, a trend that’s currently making a splash among celebs and fashion bloggers alike. She dressed her trendy pants up with a blazer and some heeled ankle booties, making the casual pants totally appropriate for a night out.
Outfit Inspired by Cheryl
Get Cheryl’s look by pairing eye-catching camouflage skinny jeans with a casual dark hued henley shirt – together, these pieces form the perfect casual daytime look. To glam it up for a night out, though, add a black blazer with a leather lapel (for extra sass) and some heeled booties.
Look 3: Ashley Benson’s Cool Casual Look
Photo: Pacific Coast News
Pretty Little Liars star Ashley Benson was spotted out and about in a casual outfit with a few cool details that really stood out. She wore dark skinny jeans with a gray double-breasted wool coat, some studded red flats, oversized sunglasses, and an oversized black bag to match.
Ashley’s outfit, though simple, is made more complex by its details. If you look closely, you’ll notice the interesting cut of her coat’s collar, as well as the cool contrasting shoulder panels and detailing on the cuffs. Coupled with her cool studded flats and matching bag, Ashley’s unique coat helps to bring her look beyond basic.
Outfit Inspired by Ashley
Coat, Jeans, Flats, Sunglasses, Bag
As every college girl knows, dark skinny jeans are a closet staple – pull on your favorite pair and get started styling for a look like Ashley’s! This gray coat with cool buttons and a stand-up collar is similar to Ashley’s and makes a statement, especially when paired with some red studded flats. Keep your other accessories in the same dark color family – try oversized sunglasses and a large black bag for a casual day on campus.

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 Ali Larter, Vanessa Hudgens, and Olivia Wilde. Read on to see how you can get their looks for yourself.
Look 1: Ali Larter’s Casual Ladylike Look
Photo: Pacific Coast News
Actress Ali Larter kept her look ladylike yet casual for a day of shopping and errands. She wore dark skinny jeans with an elegant cream colored blouse, a double-looped belt, quilted crossbody bag, and some leopard print flats. Ali’s look works because it combines casual and fun elements – like jeans and leopard flats – with more refined pieces like the blouse and the bag, creating a simple yet put-together look.
Outfit Inspired by Ali
A chic cream-colored blouse will make a darker pair of skinny jeans look ladylike, especially with the addition of a dainty gold quilted crossbody bag. To keep the look up to date, though, try rocking some of Ali’s more fun pieces like leopard flats which add a print into the mix, or a belt that loops twice around your waist.
Look 2: Vanessa Hudgens’ Cool Grunge Look
Photo: Pacific Coast News
Vanessa Hudgens has a distinct bohemian style that mixes in grunge influences, and she really showed it off this week. Wearing denim cutoffs, a cropped black and white striped t-shirt, a plaid shirt tied around her waist, and a moon pendant necklace, her outfit was ideal for the transition from summer to fall and had a super eclectic vibe to it.
Outfit Inspired by Vanessa
Shorts, Top (striped), Top (plaid), Necklace, Sunglasses
I know I’m not ready to give up my denim cutoffs quite yet, even though fall has begun! This outfit is a good way to keep your jean shorts in outfit rotation – just pair them with tops that are more fall-friendly, like this slouchy black and white striped shirt. (Note how the stripes are thin like those on Vanessa’s shirt.) Vanessa opted for mixed prints by wearing a red plaid shirt around her waist; this one features red, black, and white, working with the color scheme of the top. Finally, add a cool eclectic pendant necklace like this moon one, and finish with some unique sunglasses.
Look 3: Olivia Wilde’s Chic Red & Black Combo
Photo: Pacific Coast News
Actress Olivia Wilde looked ultra chic while out in NYC this week, rocking some show-stopping red jeans, a graphic top, tuxedo blazer, black booties, and a black bag. Nothing says fashion like a good tuxedo blazer, especially when paired with cool pieces like a graphic top and colored jeans.
Outfit Inspired by Olivia
Jeans, Top, Blazer, Sunglasses, Bag, Booties
Olivia’s outfit has a bold color scheme, mixing red and black. Colored jeans have been a huge trend, and it seems like many celebs have been favoring red ones with the start of fall. Red jeans like these look awesome paired with a black top with a fun phrase or graphic print, which is instantly made chic with the addition of a tuxedo blazer. Black booties are a super versatile inclusion to your wardrobe and look particularly fashion-forward with this look. Finally, keep accessories minimal yet unique, adding retro-inspired sunglasses and a white structured handbag in a classic shape.

Celebrity Street Style of the Week: Olivia Palermo, Keira Knightley, & Kate Bosworth June 12th, 2012
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.
Look 1: Olivia Palermo’s Summertime Chic
Photo Credit: Pacific Coast News
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.
Outfit Inspired by Olivia Palermo
Shorts, Top, Flats, Sunglasses, Bag, Bracelet
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
Photo Credit: Pacific Coast News
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.
Outfit Inspired by Keira
Dress, Belt, Jacket, Bag, Sandals
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
Photo Credit: Pacific Coast News
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.
Outfit Inspired by Kate
Dress, Booties, Necklace, Sunglasses, Bag
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 Bella Thorne, Cher Lloyd, and Zoe Saldana. Read on to see how you can get their looks for yourself.
Look 1: Bella Thorne’s Easy Chic
Photo Credit: Pacific Coast News
Actress Bella Thorne has been everywhere lately, and is constantly proving that she has a personal style worth noticing! This week, she wore an easy chic look: light wash boyfriend jeans, a white sleeveless top, nude flats, some eclectic jewelry, and a Louis Vuitton handbag. I love how she keeps her outfit’s color palette light and fresh – her look is perfect for a day of shopping or lunching with friends.
Outfit Inspired by Bella
Jeans, Top, Collar Necklace, Bag, Flats
The light shade of Bella’s slouchy boyfriend jeans adds an especially chic touch to the look, so start by opting for jeans in a similar shade. They look so fresh when paired with a white sleeveless blouse – instead of accessorizing it with a thin, dainty necklace like Bella did, though, add a trendy Peter Pan collar necklace. The simple yet elegant top is the perfect backdrop to such a fashion-forward necklace, and both pieces work well with these neutral two-tone flats. A handbag in a light color, like this mint green one, gives the look some extra dimension.
Look 2: Cher Lloyd’s Fun Summer Look
Photo Credit: Pacific Coast News
U.K. singing sensation Cher Lloyd looked ready for summer in a gingham tie-up shirt, some high-waisted chartreuse shorts, and a straw fedora hat. Her look has a fun vintage vibe and is ideal for a day out in the sun! The gingham print of her top is so perfect for summer (picnic, anyone?) and the shorts are a versatile piece: they can we worn casually, like Cher is doing here, or dressed up for a night out with a dressy top and heels.
Outfit Inspired by Cher
Top, Shorts, Hat,Sandals, Sunglasses
Cher’s look revolves around her super fun gingham tie-front top, and luckily, you can get the same exact one from Guess. Pair it with high-waisted shorts in a neutral, yet unexpected shade like chartreuse – this color doesn’t overwhelm the already bold top, but is a bit more exciting than just black. A straw fedora is a summer necessity as are vintage-inspired sunglasses and pretty flat sandals.
Look 3: Zoe Saldana is Boho Beautiful
Photo Credit: Pacific Coast News
Actress Zoe Saldana may have taken to the NYC subway this week, but she looked far from pedestrian in a floral maxi skirt, a white tank top, pink crossbdody bag, and some round sunglasses. Her outfit is great for a day of relaxing; I love it because it’s so comfortable and easy to wear, while still super stylish.
Outfit Inspired by Zoe
Skirt, Tank top, Sunglasses, Sandals, Bag
To get Zoe’s look, pick a fun colorful and printed maxi skirt; this one has a pastel palette similar to that of Ms. Saldana’s. A simple white tank top is the perfect accent – since the skirt is already so bold, you don’t want to overpower it with a complicated top. Some strappy flat sandals, a pink crossbody bag, and rounded sunglasses finish off this look.

Celebrity Street Style of the Week: Jessica Alba, Carrie Underwood, & Christa B. Allen May 14th, 2012
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 Jessica Alba, Carrie Underwood, and Christa B. Allen. Read on to see how you can get their looks for yourself.
Look 1: Jessica Alba’s Floral Bottoms
Photo Credit: Pacific Coast News
Jessica Alba always dresses stylishly, has debuted some extra stylish looks in the last few weeks. One particular look that caught my eye consisted of floral pants, a casual top, leather bomber jacket, gold chain necklace, and black pumps. The bomber jacket adds an athletic vibe to a more feminine look of the floral print pants, creating a chic outfit.
Outfit Inspired by Jessica
Shorts, Top, Jacket, Wedges, Necklace, Clutch
For an outfit inspired by Jessica, I wanted to make her look a bit more warm weather-appropriate, so I replaced the floral pants with some floral tap shorts. Pair them with a black top and a gold chain necklace to add some bling to the simple, classic shape of the top. For a an athletic vibe – which is a hot spring 2012 fashion trend - add a bomber jacket; this one is made of textured material which is lighter than leather for the season. Cork wedge sandals look great with the shorts, and these silver glittered ones bring out the colors of the shorts. Add a black clutch and you’re ready to go!
Look 2: Carrie Underwood’s Boho Denim Look
Photo Credit: Pacific Coast News
Songstress Carrie Underwood worked an ultra-trendy denim-on-denim look, and gave the popular trend a boho twist. She wore a fringed top with a collection of boho-chic necklaces, bracelets, and some nude open-toe heels. When putting together a denim-on-denim look, it’s important to make sure that the shades of denim are different – preferably, one darker shade and one lighter, to break up the uniform texture.
Outfit Inspired by Carrie
Jeans, Denim shirt, Top, Necklace (pendant), Necklace (beaded), Bracelets, Heels
Carrie’s look is a slightly dressier way to work a boho look, thanks to pieces like dark denim skinny jeans and nude open-toed heels. I envision this look for a night out to dinner with girlfriends, as it’s casual but still chic. This tie-dye frayed top is perfect for summer music festivals or trips to the beach, but with a denim shirt and some fun boho accessories, plus the dressier jeans and shoes, it becomes a bit more dressy.
Look 3: Christa B. Allen’s Fun Bright Look
Photo Credit: Pacific Coast News
Actress Christa B. Allen looked bright and ready for summer in a geometric multi-colored printed skirt, an orange top with cutouts, a white blazer, and black booties. While Christa wore her outfit for a daytime outing, I really like her look for a night out, especially if paired with heels. Christa’s choice of black colored shoes acts like a reverse pop of color – because the look is so bright to begin with, the black breaks up the color and anchors the look.
Outfit Inspired by Christa
Christa’s look centers around a colorful geometric printed skirt. Just looking at the one I’ve chosen is making me excited for summer! An orange top in a similar shape to Christa’s keeps with the brightness, as does a white drape collar blazer. Finally, black heels actually look bold and don’t overwhelm the look with too much color.

Celebrity Street Style of the Week: Kim Kardashian, Sarah Jessica Parker, & Clémence Poésy November 15th, 2011
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 Kim Kardashian, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Clémence Poésy. Read on to see how you can get their looks for yourself.
Look 1: Kim Kardashian’s Chic Cold-Weather Look
Kim Kardashian may be going through quite an ordeal thanks to her very public divorce from husband Kris Humphries, but she has not lost her sense of style during the proceedings. Kim looked chic this week in an olive green military-inspired coat, worn over a gray shirt and black skinny pants, with leather over-the-knee boots, a chunky black scarf, and some oversized black aviators. I love how she kept the color scheme neutral, allowing the coat and oversized scarf to really pop.
Outfit Inspired by Kim
Pants, Coat, Shirt, Scarf, Boots, Sunglasses
Black jeggings and a gray t-shirt form the simple (and super comfy!) base for this look. The rest of the pieces, like leather over-the-knee boots, a chunky black infinity scarf, and some black aviator sunglasses boost the look, making it extra chic. But the real “wow” factor comes from adding a military-inspired jacket – this olive green cape coat has toggle closures similar to Kim’s, and is a stylish way to keep warm.
Look 2: Sarah Jessica Parker’s Flowy Fall Ensemble
We all know Sarah Jessica Parker loves fashion, and as such, she is constantly experimenting with trends. While traveling recently, she wore a flowy maxi skirt with a creme knit sweater, along with some ankle boots and a structured handbag worn cross-body.
SJP’s look is an awesome example of a way to wear a summer maxi skirt in cool weather – just pair it with a cozy knit and your favorite pair of boots, and you have a perfectly fall-appropriate outfit.
Outfit Inspired by Sarah Jessica
A maxi skirt in a neutral color is a total wardrobe staple: in the warmer months, it looks stylish paired with a tank or t-shirt, and can be transformed for cooler months with a chunky cable knit sweater like this one. Accessories are key in giving the look its fashion-forward feel: black ankle boots and a large, structured handbag pull it all together.
Look 3: Clémence Poésy’s Unique Hues
Actress Clémence Poésy is an underground style star who knows how to harness the French aesthetic when it comes to dressing. She was recently photographed rocking some softly burnt-out, rose-colored skinny jeans and an oversize cable knit sweater, along with some trendy desert booties.
While many of us tend to wear neutrals and dark hues in fall, Clémence proves that you can still rock color and look fabulous while doing so. By wearing fall-perfect pieces in bold hues, Clémence looks seasonally appropriate while making a serious statement.
Outfit Inspired by Clémence
To get Clémence’s bold fall look, start with skinny jeans in a rose hue. These jeans from Topshop are tie dyed, so they have the same burnt out look as Clémence’s. Adding a chunky sweater in a brown or dark yellow color helps give the pants a hip, almost vintage vibe and keeps them from looking too ’80s. Lace-up desert booties and a structured bag in the same color scheme complete the outfit.
