I absolutely love Rachel Bilson’s style. Easy breezy Cali chic, as I like to call it. She was recently photographed in an Elizabeth and James Laurent Plaid Shirt, skinny jeans, flat boots and a cross body bag.

The shirt alone is $225, eek! But we can do better than that! Here are some picks for Rachel’s head to toe look for less (the entire outfit costs less than the shirt).
Charlotte Russe Leather Flat Boot, $34.99 *the cuff can be folded up*
Aeropostale Plaid Camp Shirt, $24.99

Forever 21 Solid Colored Skinny Jean, $17.80
Piperlime Freebird by The Sak Stitch Medium Shopper, $39.99. The color’s different but the style’s are similar.

Natalie Portman is definitely living fly on a dime. We already know she wears Aldo, and this past weekend she graced the red carpet in a Rodarte for Target slip lace dress ($39.99) with a black blazer.

My initial reaction to the collection was a big thumbs down but I haven’t had a chance to see it up close and personal. Check out The Budget Babe’s first hand review of Rodarte for Target.
Do you guys like seeing celebs wearing affordable (i.e. under $100) fashion?

Isla Fisha, aka Mrs. Borat, was spotted braving the chill of L.A. in a simple, yet chic look. And lo and behold, her cardigan is from Express!
Lucky for you, it’s on sale for $29.50. The cardigan also comes in five other colors.

I love seeing celebs saving a buck and proving fashionable finds come in all income brackets. Of course they can afford luxuries us mere mortals can only dream of, but they also choose to flex their frugal muscles from time to time.
Lindsay Lohan enjoyed some holiday shopping and racked up at designer discount haven Century 21. I wonder if she purchased some more leggings or a gift for Samantha?
Brangelina braved the NYC cold for some street vendor shopping. Maybe they picked up gloves and hats for their brood.

Guess who was recently spotted rocking Chinese Laundry’s Turbo over the knee boots? Songbird Leona Lewis! The boots are stylish (over the knees were/are the it item for fall and winter) and super affordable at $99.

I knew there was a reason I liked Ms. Portman…she wears Aldo shoes! The thespian recently arrived at a premiere in a Jason Wu frock, canary yellow Christian Louboutin clutch and Aldo peep toes. Mixing high and low pieces is so chic!
