Star Style For Less With Sears: #ThisisStyle

I am a member of the Collective Bias® Social Fabric® Community. This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper amplification for Collective Bias and its advertiser.

My husband can vouch, albeit irritably,  for my addiction to fashion magazines. Irritably, because I subscribe to a number of glossies that take up lot of available surface in our apartment! But I tell him that these magazines are my research material and inspiration for the content. I love looking at the newest trends, designer duds, celebrity styles featured there. More often than not, the celebrity looks are way out of my budget, but that doesn't mean they are un-attainable. When we think of magazine spreads featuring chic dresses and trendy pieces, we usually think of boutique stores or expensive high end stores. So when I was asked by Sears to create a celebrity / runway look for less, I zoomed in my star style spying eyes on my favorite magazines and searsStyle! Today's post is all about getting the celebrity look for less with affordable yet stylish pieces from Sears. First up is a look from one of my favorite style star Olivia Palermo. Her bright yellow coat and printed skinny pants are perfect for Fall and Spring and with layering, can work in winter too. She, ofcourse, is wearing Alberta Ferretti coat retailing for more than $500, but I found a really chic alternative at Sears for way less! (Now it is on sale for $41.99!!). This boucle walking coat is fully lined, fits true to size and very sleek. The printed twill pants are my earlier buy from Sears that I wore all through last year! Similar style of printed pants are on sale for less than $17 on Sears. I tied the whole look with light mint pumps and blue floral clutch.

Coat - Sears

Pants - Sears

Shoes - Nine West

It seems like Olivia Palermo is not the only celebrity loving the yellow coats! Even last year, this bright color was on trend for winters. I had been looking for a yellow coat for a long time, and really searched the internet for a perfect piece in my budget, ending my search with Sears! 

Clutch - Nine West via DSW, Similar floral style from Sears

AX Paris Women's Tropical  Print  Midi at Sears - $66

Kardashian Kollection Women's Dress Pumps at Sears - $44

Anne Hathaway looks simply stunning in this vintage floral sheath with sleek silhouette and stylish boat neck. The dress price is not known to me, but a vintage piece specially picked out by a celebrity during a film promotion only speaks 'super expensive'! I found this very similar floral printed sheath at Sears that is a dead ringer of Anne's dress in terms of cut and lines for less than $50! Star style for less? Way less, more like!!

AX Paris Women's Printed Midi Red Dress at Sears - $41.99

Supermodels have a leg (or two) up when it comes to looking like million bucks! Victoria's Secret model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley looks gorgeous and sexy in this Balmain beaded mini dress with plunging neckline. I absolutely love the geometric pattern play in this dress, but let's face it, this dress is not wearable for us every day women. But this Sears dress is a close replica of the geometric pattern, color scheme and sleeve length, with added benefit of a wearable neckline! And price is only 39.99!  Star look for less? Score! 

Ronni Nicole Women's Boat Neck Graphic Dress at Sears - $39.99

If you thought you can't wear florals in winter, let Jessica Alba prove you wrong! The actress looks cool and preppy in Minkpink sweatshirt and a leather skirt and knee high riding boots. I found this floral cardigan and black riding boots at Sears to recreate Jessica's fresh look. 

Laura Scott Women's Floral Cardigan at Sears $15.39

Route 66 Women's 'Tahlia' Riding Boots at Sears - $24.99

Celebrity Style - Heidi Klum In Black & White Stripes

I am in love with Heidi Klum's stripe on stripe look. The supermodel plays with the proportions in this outfit -mixing thin stripes of her sheer Nili Lotan blouse with broad stripes of her figure hugging pencil skirt. I think the blouse with diagonal stripes will work equally well! Specially when Heidi's blouse costs more than $300 and this recreation Dorothy Perkins blouse is just $38! The jewelry is minimal with just a hint of color with the horn shaped pendant necklace.

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!
