Celebrities don’t just look great on the red carpet. Their signature style often appears in their “street style” while they’re out and about doing every day things. While some tend to be more miss than hit, most celebs have nailed down their personal style and are great inspiration for fun and new ways to pull together an outfit. With beauty teams, stylists and designers at their fingertips, they generally know what trends are hot. So who better to take a fashion cue from than a few celebs? We’ve got a collection of celeb worthy handbags at price points all of us can afford.

This is a guest post by Sarah Ellis. So enjoy this piece in celebrity handbag style.  This is a great celebrity looks for less blog, I was pretty astounded by how spot-on her bag picks were. (And suddenly I’m craving them all, ah!) You can find her author bio at the end of the piece. I’m positive that you’ll want to head on over to her blog – you can help her pick her wedding dress! I voted for the drop waist/mermaid style, but you may feel otherwise inclined. – xo Jessica Rae

celebrity bags for less: KIM KARDASHIAN

The sex symbol: Kim Kardashian is a woman of style and sass. With a reality TV show, women’s boutique, dozens of endorsements, and countless magazine spreads, her style has become enviable by sass-lovin’ fashionistas everywhere. Lately she’s been toting this classic Hermes Birkin handbag around with several different outfits, which proves that it goes with just about everything. Shop the Gina Buckle Tote for a similar style to Kim’s handbag and get the look at a fraction of the cost. It’s a great work essential, but also transitions into a classic carryall and, as Kim shows, looks great with any style.

celebrity bags for less: EMMA WATSON

The sensible beauty: Emma Watson is the new face of Burberry, which means not only is she making some dough, but she’s getting some free Burberry swag! Not all of us are as lucky, but we have a solution! The Ramsay Rock Tote channels the same hardcore vibe as her Burberry tote, with plenty of studded embellishment. Kick up the drama if you pair this with your subdued work wardrobe, or keep it rocker chic with lots of black and leather. Hermione Granger might not approve of such kick-butt style, but Emma has proved she can hold her own against her larger-than-life movie character.

celebrity bags for less: RACHEL BILSON

The classic hippie: Rachel Bilson first gained fame during her stint on the cult hit The O.C. But since then, she’s been busy becoming a modern style star. And with gigs like style director for Sunglasses Hut and guest contributor for InStyle, she definitely knows how to pull an outfit together. She’s known for effortless style with a bohemian twist. She’s looking natural as ever with her Chloe bag, and you can steal her look for way less with the Laura Buckle Hobo. This is a great season-less bag and is perfect for pairing with jeans.

Whether you have your personal style down pat or are in the mood to experiment, celebrities are always a great place to gather some fashion inspiration. Don’t let their unrealistic budgets deter you from copying their style either, because any fashion lover can find something they can afford if they really look. Look online, rip out of magazines, and watch entertainment news to get some ideas. Celebs are busy and always have to look great, so new inspiring outfits appear every day!

Author Bio for Sarah Ellis: I’m a bit obsessed with fashion, but equally so with planning my upcoming wedding. I love hunting down bargains and being the source of all fashion knowledge for my girlfriends. You’re most likely to find me writing my fashion blog, reading fashion mags, plotting new ways to accessorize with a scarf , writing about aviator sunglasses in my day job, playing with my adorable puppy Luna, or loving on my future husband.
