Draping and layering always makes for an elegant look, and we especially love the way the sides drape down on the Audrina Dress by Lauren Conrad ($119).  But not having a clothing budget that matches one of the girls on The Hills doesn’t mean you can’t look just as good.  In this situation, we’re recommending the Rampage Double Layer Dress ($29.99).  Can you spot the difference?  This one has little cap sleeves, but beyond that it’s nearly identical, which is a fabulous thing!

Planning a trip this year? Whether your flying by plane or taking a train, it doesn’t hurt to look great once you get to your destination. We’re showing you how to stay perfectly comfortable while traveling and stay stylish as well. Keep reading to find out!

It might look like a skirt, but it’s not, nor is a skort. The Alexander Wang Charcoal Suiting Shorts are just that, a pleated, a-line style of shorts that give the illusion of something entirely different. That’s the fun part of these gray, tailored shorts; you can wear the like a mini skirt without the fear of the wind blowing the hem up! Pair these with a nice, crisp white blouse or tube top with a sweetheart neckline.

Every once in a while there comes a dress that is a total steal, yet looks like it stepped right off the runway. Today, that definitely can be said about the Forever 21 Three-Tone Silk Dress (yes, Forever 21!) which reminds us highly of designer Matthew Williamson’s spring designs. The silk cocktail dress blends black, white and pink with a beautiful dip dyed pattern. Perfect for an upscale lunch with friends.

This dress could very well be the object of our summer obsession. It’s pretty buttoned-up and serious, but that doesn’t make it boring at all. . . it’s the type of dress that you could tap-tap into a meeting or a fashion show wearing and still feel 100% comfortable. That deep v-neck isn’t for anyone except the bold, though, so don’t forget to sprinkle a little soft powder over yourself for extra shimmer.

Go ahead, try it! 100% silk, lined.

When it’s warm outside, looking put together can get a bit challenging. Resist the temptation to throw on cut off denim shorts and flip flops with something a tad bit more refined, like the Dittos Saddleback Betty Shorts. These cute cuffed shorts with a 2″ inseam is made with a ton of fun details, like the tabs in the front and back, and the curved seams around the front pockets and back placket. These will look great with all your colorful halters and tube tops, plus a pair of gladiator sandals.

Are you a dancer or a yoga girl? I think I’ve found the perfect top for you. The deep neckline is good for movement, and the tunic length is great for stretching and the like. It may be available in navy and white, but I would recommend getting it in both colors once you treat yourself to one of these soft wardrobe staples! Gold romantic detailing is to die for.

Raw silk fashioned in an African-inspired look are just what we need to style peasant tops and even our basic tanks. Try these shorts out with ballerina flats, sandals, or sneaker a la Agyness Deyn. Concealed snap and button closure and a higher waist.

What can make a basic blouse, tank or tunic extraordinary? A crochet inset. This trend ads a touch of richness to any look, and it’s a great alternative to patterns or rouching. No matter what your budget is, we’ve found a crochet top that will look good without breaking the bank.

Easy and simple, just like your favorite pair of sweats, but in a much nicer package: that’s the Juicy Couture Heather Empire Jumper for you. In a lightweight fleece, it’s great to wear after a cool night swim or a stroll along the ocean. If this heathered color isn’t for you, try the other option in an army green. Knife pleating at skirt and handy pockets.
