Jessica Alba Inspires Our Search For the Perfect Plaid Pants
Jessica Alba, though always stylish, has really been on a roll with her cool, casual daytime looks. Jessica stepped out over the holiday weekend for a trip to Williams-Sonoma with her little girls — and much like on her recent trip to Target, the actress managed to make running errands look like a walk down the runway. Jessica put a spin on the age-old t-shirt-and-jeans look by swapping her dark denim skinnies for a pair of Current/Elliott plaid-printed jeans and layering her slouchy white tee with a drapey brown leather jacket. She added a pair of lace-up ankle booties and a sleek shoulder bag, proving once again that mundane tasks can always become more exciting when you're wearing a great outfit.

Clockwise, from left: Rick Owens Leather and Wool Jacket ($1,375, originally $3,430), Alexander Wang Classic Jersey T-Shirt ($80), Marc by Marc Jacobs Preppy Leather Camera Bag ($298), Wolverine by Samantha Pleet Blixen Boot ($325), Current/Elliott Plaid Ankle Skinny Jeans ($146, originally $208)
Kim K's Chic Trio: Camel Coat, White Blouse, Black Leather Pants
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West had a PDA-filled holiday, and on one of the nights, they headed to Spago in Beverly Hills, CA, for a fancy dinner. We love the trio of colors Kim sported for the occasion: black, white, and camel. Up top she wore a crisp white blouse with a leather camel coat. On bottom she sported black leather pants with black lace-up ankle boots. While her exact coat isn't available, you can easily re-create this look by matching up a white blouse with black leather pants, then finishing off with a plus camel coat. For a casual take, switch the long coat for a cardigan or blazer.

Didn't Get All You Wanted For Christmas? Shopbop's Sale to the Rescue
If the presents under the tree didn't deliver exactly what you were hoping for, don't fret. Santa's loss really is your gain: it gives you the perfect excuse to go shopping for yourself. Well, there's no better time to do just that than upon the arrival of Shopbop's fortuitous end-of-season sale. The designer-stocked shelves of this online merchant are ripe for the picking, with deep discounts on cool-girl leather (from the likes of Phillip Lim), essential Winter boots, and ladylike handbags. Consider this our little gift to you. Just click on for 16 of our picks, and then head over to Shopbop to shop it all for yourself. And don't be fooled; these end-of-season offerings are likely to look just as good next season, too.
Pregnant Jenna Dewan Rocks Killer Over-the-Knee Boots
Jenna Dewan stepped out of a nail salon in West Hollywood looking fabulous as ever in this Leon Maxi black-and-white heart-print dress ($228, originally $348) and killer black leather over-the-knee boots. The pregnant actress also sported a black leather jacket for warmth, shielded her eyes via cat-eye sunglasses, and carried this Stella McCartney chain-handle bag ($1,095) on her arm. We love that she showed off just a bit of cleavage but kept the rest of herself covered up. With child or not, re-create Jenna's latest look by pairing your flowy Summer dresses with over-the-knee statement boots for a wintery take.

Jessica Alba's Mad For Plaid — Get Her Patterned Jeans on Sale!
Jessica Alba ran errands around LA, channeling her preppy side in a pair of Current/Elliott plaid jeans ($146, originally $208) that are on sale right now. Up top, the actress wore a basic white V-neck tee with a brown leather jacket. For accessories, Jessica sported a black crossbody Vince Camuto bag and lace-up ankle boots. Score Jessica's exact plaid jeans now to work the look into your Winter wardrobe. Sport it with a leather jacket for edgy oomph, or throw on a slick black blazer for a polished feel.

Kate Bosworth Gives Boyfriend Jeans a Cool-Girl-Worthy Upgrade
The couple of days post-Christmas dinner — and pre-NYE bash — our outfit of choice might just be our favorite lounge pants and a t-shirt (if we're being totally honest). Thankfully, Kate Bosworth's latest supplied us with a worthy bit of inspiration — a way to appear as polished as we hope to be without really trying. Remember boyfriend jeans? We probably all have a pair buried in our closets, and while there's not quite a boyfriend-jean craze, Kate's rendition may just be enough to bring them out of hiding. Instead of sweats, she reached for the easy silhouette to give her overall look that casual-cool factor, which a cozy knit pullover plays right into. The trick is keeping the look from feeling overwhelmingly dressed-down — and that's all in her accessories. Kate's Isabel Marant ankle boots, sleek white satchel, and classic-feeling shades each play their part in dressing up the ensemble. All together, it serves as the perfect reminder that sweatpants aren't the answer. Instead, reach for something chicer, just like Kate did, with our editors' picks.
