We can all agree that $250 for a plaid button-down top is too much. Such was the case with Lauren Conrad's cute, albeit overpriced, Elizabeth and James shirt. Alas,
plaid is already on the move to becoming a Fall frenzy, so get ahead of the trend on the cheap.
Amidst all the drama, Sienna Miller is still one fashionable babe. If you're going to get your photo taken by the paparazzi, you might as well look cute, right.
I'm loving the semisheer romantic blouse she's jetsetting in.
No one does sloppy chic better than Kristen Dunst. Here she is on the streets of SoHo looking '90s grunge fabulous in a loose plaid top, short shorts, and flats.
The plaid top itself screams '90s but leave it to Kirsten to put icing on the cake with her signature Ray-Ban Wayfarers and messy hair.
While Miranda Kerr took her high-waisted black shorts
on a tropical vacation, Lauren Conrad wore hers
out on the town with an Alexander Wang top. It goes to show how versatile high-waisted black shorts are. They can weather extreme heat and go party hopping with you, too!

Whether or not you partake in the water games, wear yourself a nautical navy and white ensemble because it's refined and refreshing.

- Start a collection. Choose a favorite color or theme, and then scour your home for items that fit.
Hot pink is on fire these days. From
Mary-Kate Olsen's belt to
me at LA Fashion Week to
Nicky Hilton's full-fledged obsession with the hue, it's practically everywhere you turn. Of course, it helps that it's traceable from miles away.

Actress Taylor Momsen, who plays Jenny Humphrey in
Gossip Girl, may not be the star of the show, but in terms of fashion, she's one of the leading ladies for me. Here she proves that she's just as fashionable off-screen by adding glittery heels to her girlie-chic look. Let's all go out and buy ourselves some inexpensive glittery feet.
