Summer is finally here and fashionista Bree stopped by to share ways to spice up your wardrobe this season...

Hi there!
I am Bree! I am a fashion, beauty and travel
enthusiast from Canada!
I’ve always felt that style shouldn’t have to come at
cost, you shouldn’t need to have to fork out $300 for a T-shirt, or $800 for a
pair of jeans to look and feel “Stylish”!
Style to me is working what you got, and what you can afford! Though I
do believe in saving up for the items you really love, I do not believe it is
necessary to have a closet full of designer labels to look chic, put-together
and sophisticated! That’s why today I am here to share with you all some hot
celebrity style’s that you can easily incorporate into your daily lives without
breaking the bank!
Rosie's style here is so chic, so simple and so summery
- it's the perfect "beach bum" look while still looking
put-together! So, I found items that very closely mimicked the
style Rosie is portraying but are a fraction of the cost!
I am a big fan of light jeans, easy light tops and
flip flops for summer - Really now, who doesn't love the ease and
comfort of that? I basically live in sandals throughout the summer,
they are a key component of my summer-style wardrobe because they are not
only so comfy & convenient, they also carry a very "boho"
vibe.
Jessica is working all the fun, bright summer 2012
trends with this look, and doesn't she just do it perfectly? Bright reds, blues
and yellows - oh my! How she is really working this look is by keeping her
accessories to a minimum, she chose her path of Colour and rocked
it out. I am a big fan of the bright trend this year, it’s fun and loud
which is just perfect for a flirty summer look!
I chose a few very similar items here that are really
quite similar to Jessica's look but again, like Rosie's outfit - they are all a
fraction of the price!
My personal favorite items from the recreated
look include the butter yellow purse and the cap toed shoes. Is it wrong to say
I like them more than I like Jessica's? Shh, don't tell her!
Taylor Swift is always ladylike, modest and sweet
looking - a look I simply adore. She is stylish but effortlessly so, and her
look never looks overdone or loud. Her yellow dress is so lovely, as soon as I
saw it I fell in love with it and wanted it in my wardrobe - but unlike Taylor,
I am no millionaire so spending hundreds on a pretty summer dress is a bit
excessive for me! I decided to go on the hunt for a sweet, girly, natural-waist
cinched dress for less - and guess what? Yes, I found it. Unlike Taylor's
bright & beautiful canary yellow dress, this dress is a lovely off-mustard
shade, which is a bit more subdued. The shapes of the dress share a very
similar feminine vibe, a very 1950's retro shape that is practically
universally flattering, sweet and yes, even a little sexy!
To make this look even more feminine I thought a
sweetly bow adorned belt would be perfect, along with some golden
flower-powered earrings and high neutral toned heels
Hope you all enjoyed my guide to celeb style without
the celeb budget!
