Style Trend - Cut Out Shoulders

Good enough for Diane Kruger, good enough for me! The latest style trend this summer is all about chic cut-out shoulder tops and dresses. I got mine from Lauren Conrad line for Kohls' (in sale for $13- SCORE!) I have never watched her reality show, but have to say I love her line of clothing at Kohl's! Pair this floral cut out shoulder blouse with cut off shorts for a casual look. Wear it with a skinny jeans, add a statement necklace (like this Retro acrylic necklace) and a cute pair of flats for a more polished look.

I am in love with this cool necklace - the color goes with everything and the clean lines look sophisticated enough to take from day to night. All the pieces in the necklace are movable, that create a soft, fluid fall at the neck. The best part - it sells for only $13.68 and FREE shipping! If you are boutique owner or a bulk buyer, they offer even lower prices! Check out their shopping portal, they are a part of trusty wholesale brand Alibaba.com

Star Style For Less - Michelle Obama in Buckingham Palace Wearing J Mendel

No wonder we call her our First Lady of style. Michelle Obama shines and sparkles in this J Mendel outfit during the London Olympics reception held  for the head of the states on Saturday in Buckingham Palace. The metallic jacket, pleated white skirt and pointy toe metallic pumps make a perfect ensemble to show off her signature style. I can help you steal her look with my interpretation of her outfit, but you are on your own when it comes to the Royal invitation!

Kate Middleton's Gold Medal Worthy Look For Less

Kate Middleton's style always gets the top podium in my opinion. Her latest look in the fitted blue Stella McCartney dress, simple silver necklace and black pumps is no exception either. She looks every inch the Royal she is during an Olympic Exhibition in London. You don't need the Buckingham Palace budget for recreating her look. I have got the goods!

Dress - $84.99 - Modcloth
Necklace - $14 - JCPenney
Shoes - 29.99 - Target

Style For Less - Miranda Kerr's Everyday Chic Style

I may not love team USA Ralph Lauren head gear (I mean American men in berets for crying out loud!!) but totally loving super model turned super mommy Miranda Kerr's fedora! The blue leopard print jeans, a simple black tank and a huge carry all tote makes this a chic day time look. Her Current/Elliot jeans will cost little more than $200, but fear not, I got her 'look for less' jeans from Forever 21 for just a tenth of the cost! Her smile is priceless though!
