100 Inspirations: August 2011

Ashley Greene look for less! < $130

I am loving this rock and roll chic look on Ashley Greene - what a fun evening look! And if you aren't feeling the leather (pleather!?) in the skirt you could easily go for a plain black pencil skirt and wear this to the office!

skirt

Olivia Palermo Look for Less <$99

This look from the always fabulous Olivia Palermo is perfect for the upcoming Labor Day weekend. A fun pop of color with the shorts but also getting ready for fall with the cream cardigan. I've been loving leopard loafers that I have been seeing everywhere but haven't found a cheaper alternative and these from DSW are kind of like loafers but only $29.95!

Emma Stone Look For Less < $125

Here Emma Stone rocks an edgier vibe with a leather jacket and gray skinnies, but softens it up a bit with patent ballet flats and a camel colored purse. Love this!
