Celebrity Looks For Less

Jennifer Lopez for Kohl’s

Welcome to Fall Fashion Week at The Look For Less – everyday this week I’ve been featuring affordable fall style including nail polish collections, lookbooks, and designer looks for less. I hope you’ll keep checking back.

Of all the lookbooks I’ve showcased this week, I think that most of my fall budget dollars will probably be spent on the Jennifer Lopez for Kohl’s collection. This is another celebrity collection that I think will do well because I can totally see Jennifer wearing this entire line. What I like best about her style is that every detail of her look (hair, makeup, accessories, nail polish, apparel, and footwear) is always well thought out and flawless! She’s such a risk taker, and it doesn’t always pay off, but I LOVE that she tries. Most of the time I tuned into American Idol just to see what she was wearing lol.

When a celebrity comes out with a fashion line, I expect it to look like something they would wear. You’d think this would be an obvious expectation, but I think a lot of celebs get a paycheck for adding their name to something they’ve never seen while they’re out wearing designer labels.

Three celebrity lines that have impressed me the most are Jessica Simpson apparel and footwear, Fergie footwear, and LC by Lauren Conrad for Kohl’s. Lauren’s first collection for Kohl’s was small and didn’t interest me much, but over the past couple of years, I’ve become a big fan of the line, as evidenced by the growing number of pieces in my closet (check out my latest finds here and here).

LC knows fashion and her California cool style is reflected in every piece of her Fall 2011 collection. Check out the slideshow and let me know what you think of her latest line of apparel, accessories, and footwear.

What inspires personal style? Fashion icon Jennifer Lopez’s signature style clearly comes across in her career, music and lifestyle and has influenced trends around the world, but what inspires her? From growing up in the Bronx, living and working in Hollywood to traveling the world, Jennifer’s personal style has evolved with each life experience. Jennifer has brought her unique fashion experiences to the Jennifer Lopez Collection, exclusively at Kohl’s.

Have you heard the news about the latest “celeb turned designer”? Kim Kardashian has teamed up with Pascal Mouawad to create her own 75-piece jewelry collection called Belle Noel. About her line Kim said, “I drew inspiration from my favorite classic movie stars like Carole Lombard, Vivien Leigh and Sophia Loren and my 70’s fashion icons like Lauren Hutton and Julie Christie.” Her inspiration was interesting to me because I found the pieces to be quite modern and a bit edgy, which is totally my style!

William Rast for Target: An exclusive, limited-edition, premium denim collection for men and women is here. Yes, it’s true. William Rast created an exclusive, limited-time-only collection for Target and it has finally arrived. In haute anticipation of what’s here, Target wanted to get a closer look to find out what makes the denim in this collection different.

The answer? It’s premium. From start to finish, every detail of this collection for women and men is perfection. When William Rast co-founders Trace Ayala and Justin Timberlake are involved, we are not surprised. Just incredibly delighted.

As you all know, ShockBoutique.com is one of my fav “looks for less” shops (and supa-dupa fly sponsor)! You may also know that I LOVE Nicole Richie’s mo-hemian (modern meets bohemian) style! LOVE!

ShockBoutique.com is known for current trends at amazing prices, and it doesn’t stop there – they also put together head-to-toe looks for you and they do it oh-so well. Their looks are usually inspired by current events or trend setters such as music festivals, Rachel Zoe style (also one of my favs), and now Nicole Richie. Steal her style for less at ShockBoutique.com.

PS – Shock Boutique’s Winter Kate inspired cardys, Nicole Richie’s designer line that she is seen wearing at all times, are gorgeous!

Steal the Real – Jessica Simpson Early Flats

The Breakdown

I saw the Steal flats the other day at CharlotteRusse.com and knew they looked familiar. They look EXACTLY like the more expensive flats by Jessica Simpson that I admire every time I pass through the shoe department in Norstrom. I LOVE these snakeskin ring flats and was so excited that the Steal at $22.50 was less than a third of the price of the Real at $74.95!

Have you ever been to a department store, something catches your eye, and you find yourself circling it over and over? This Jessica Simpson Lizza Leopard Platform Pump, also available in black patent or black suede, was the latest that had me in vulture formation. I am not one to wear animal prints, but the shape of this shoe, the colors and the pattern are gorgeous. If I dare to attempt the animal pattern trend, then I would defintely try it in a small dose such as a scarf or super fun footwear. For some reason, my eye is drawn to pumps with a built in platform lately.

The thing that I love most about Jessica Simpson apparel and footwear, is that she is known for her sexy style and I can see her wearing EVERYTHING she puts her name on (check out my most recent Jessica Simpson purchase). I can’t say that for the majority of celebs-turned-designers. These shoes are a bit pricey with a tag of $130, but if I have the urge to splurge anytime soon, this will be my prized purchase.
