Charlize Theron And Kristen Stewart’s Sheer, Leg Baring Dresses: How Do You Feel?
It’s happening, you guys. That “sheer dress over hot pants” trend that’s been on the rise for quite some time is catching on more and more with celebrities, and I still can’t decide if I like it. More »
Gallery: The Best And Worst Of H&M’s Fall 2012 Collection
Tantalizingly cheap fast fashion chain H&M has just released their fall 2012 look book, and as usual, it contains a mixture of things I would fight someone for and things you couldn’t pay me to wear, weighted heavily towards the latter. (There are also a bunch of boring pieces to which I react neutrally, but those aren’t fun to blog about.) Here are the best and worst looks from their upcoming collection. More »

Sometimes The New York Times Reads Like The Onion

Ya know, it’s easy to take style pointers from famed fashionistas. Who doesn’t want to dress like a movie star or a model? But really, who the hell is Gisele next to an actual princess of power? More »
Burberry Projects “Worn In” Beauty For Fall At London Fashion Week
“Beauty at Burberry Prorsum was all about recreating an unassumingly sexy and ‘worn’ look,” reports WWD from yesterday’s Burberry show at London Fashion Week. Makeup artist Wendy Rowe created the look using eye colors from Burberry’s beauty collection (natch), which she described as something for “a girl who has been out and about in the city and then she is going to the countryside.” More »
Gallery: Do Baby Bangs Look Good On Anyone?
Earlier today on Refinery29, I read about how baby bangs are making a comeback, and felt conflicted. This tough-to-pull-off fashion statement has been around in various forms for quite some time, popping up most recently in fashion’s current favorite era, the early 90s. Things being as they are, they’re coming back around now, creeping beyond the heads of cool art school girls who work at custom sneaker shops in Mexico City and onto the heads of celebrities and the masses. They can look pretty great on the right person, but otherwise, they’re abjectly terrible. Take a look at some photos of them and you’ll see what I mean. More »

Gallery: The Top 10 Black & White Looks Of NYFW
Today’s our last day of rounding up the trends of Spring 2012 from NYFW, so we figure we’d cap with something that everyone can wear regardless of skintone, body type, height etc: monochrome. Bold, graphic black and white was all over the Spring 2012 runways (whether it was minimal at Yigal or pretty prints at Preen) and we’re pleased with that because it’s always a fresh combination. Here’s our 10 favorite looks. More »
Gallery: The Top 10 Little White Dresses Of New York Fashion Week
Spring is reliably the time for two things: floral prints and airy dresses in white. True to form, NYFW saw no shortage of prints–of every kind–and plenty of the LWD (the LBD’s humidity-friendlier cousin). Here’s the 10 on our wishlist, from Gatsby dreams at Ralph Lauren to draping at Doo.Ri to minimalism at Helmut Lang… and this razor sharp number above from Cushnie et Ochs. More »
Fashion Week’s Biggest Trends: The 3 Kinds Of Prints That Will Rule Spring
Spring is the time for prints: florals, usually, and this past fashion week saw some weirdo forays into Hawaiian. However, three of the biggest trends to emerge for prints weren’t actually about flowers: we saw geometric patterns, plenty of ombre and animals. …I don’t mean leopard spots or tiger stripes, but prints of animals: birds, butterflies, even a few zebras. Let’s take a look. More »

#1 Crush: Our Favorite Look At Reed Krakoff Was A Perfect White Suit
Reed Krakoff has only been showing for a few seasons now, but the Coach creative director is already refining his easy, effortless spin on wearable minimalism. Aside from some creative use of cellophane, his collection was all about neat lines, solids and a bit of bright colorblocking. However, this white suit is louche and effortless in all the right ways, which is to say it may be draped softly but it still cuts a clean line. One of those fantastic Boxer bags is the only embellishment it needs. More »
