Our daily Star Tracks pictures often inspire shopping sprees, but it’s rare that we find ourselves wanting a head-to-toe look! But this photo of Sarah Michelle Gellar immediately sent us on a hunt. Taken on the set of her upcoming movie The Girl’s Guide to Hunting & Fishing, it captures NYC street chic at its best: Right down to the Prada bag and Christian Louboutin platforms. IMDB credits Patricia Field (of Sex & the City fame) as the costume designer, so it’s no wonder we find ourselves lusting after this look. Here’s how you can get it for yourself (with and without star’s budget).

The Top: Trina Turk pleated blouse, nordstrom.com, $194. Or Try: Victoria’s Secret puff sleeve top, victoriassecret.com, $48.

The Pants (they look leather in the photo but we like satin better): Dolce & Gabbana satin pants, saksfifthavenue.com, $1,150. Or try: Frederick’s of Hollywood skinny pant, fredericks.com, $44

The Bag: Prada Gauffre bag, raffaello-network.com, $1, 645. Or Try: ASOS ruched bag, asos.com, $38

The Shoes: Christian Louboutin platforms, saksfifthavenue.com, $710. Or try: Go Jane peep toes, gojane.com, $19

The Duff sisters share many things (like billing on movies like Material Girls), but apparently not their closets. Hilary and Haylie each bought their own Marion Crane coat. (Afterall, would you want to share such a cute coat?) The graphic black and white pattern with snappy red details gives an edge to a classic and wearable shape. Turns out that Paris Hilton and Stacey Keibler own it, too. We sense a mega-sized Fashion Faceoff in the works!

Christina Aguilera isn’t the only star playing Santa to Britney Spears’ babies. Paris Hilton is bestowing her style prowess on little Sean Preston and Jayden James. Now before you gasp thinking of Brit’s boys wearing Cavalli minis, blinged-out tiaras, and clutching Chanel bags, rest assured that Paris actually picked up cute, sensible gifts at Kitson Kids. For Jayden, Paris snagged a No Added Sugar Mummies New Man Onesie, $48, and adorable bibs, like this Available for a Playdate, $18. Sean Preston scored a Great China Wall Los Angeles Car Hoodie for $195. And of course, they’d be equally adorable for the pint-size popsters in your life, as well!

With all the free stuff they get, celebs need lots of stationery on which to write (or at least have their publicist/personal assistant/employed relative write) thank you notes. Our favorite are the simple, yet snazzy offerings from Osborne and Miller, which specialize in stationery highlighted with hand-adorned shimmer. Courteney Cox Arquette, Jennifer Garner, Molly Sims and Ashley Judd are among the New Orleans-based line’s fans. Kinda nice to see not everyone’s addicted to their CrackBerrys. Osborne and Miller Tres Purses flat card, $62 for 25 5×7 cards with envelopes; osborneandmiller.com

Please tell me where Kate Hudson got the gray boots she wears in the Star Tracks posted on your website Wednessday. In case these boots are ridiculously expensive, can you also suggest a cheaper look-alike boot? Thanks.- Sari, Brooklyn, NY

It’s not the first time we were asked about a pair of Kate’s boots. She does seem to have an amazing collection of groovy footwear. These particular boots from Thomas Wylde — and since they are last season’s, are no longer available — but there is an updated version available. Brace yourself! Kate has expensive taste. Love the look? Check out some similar (less pricey pairs).

The Real Deal: Thomas Wylde grey boots, about $1700, stylebop.com

The Spulrge: Juicy Couture, $550, nordstrom.com

The Steal: Kenzi, $193, zappos.com
