#DIY: Silver Bauble Heels

Reds
How To Make Silver Bauble Heels Inspired By The Runway In channeling old Hollywood for their spring collection, designers Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren made sure there was no shortage of glamour on their runway. While to-the-floor lame skirts and draped dresseswere certainly evocative of Grace Kelly and Joan Crawford, the collection’s decorative accessories, specifically the bead-embellished Runway Shoes ($1755, 214.559.4510), feel utterly modern. Offering a unique way to elevate a pair of understated pumps, we asked Erica Domesek—our favorite Do-It-Yourself expert from P.S. I Made This—to show us how to get the look. Keep reading for all her easy step-by-step instructions. Ingredients 1. Forever 21 Metallic Heel Strappy Sandals($23) 2. Silver-Plated Beads ($3-$23, you will need a package of 30mm, 20mm, 15mm, 10mm, 4mm, and 3mm beads) 3. Heel Liners ($5) 4. Foil Tape ($6) 5. Silver Wire ($6.50) 6. Wire Cutters ($8) Step…

3 Ways to Wear A Trench

Reds
I am a self-admitted enabler when it comes to convincing my friends and co-workers to purchase clothing. That said, I'm not blindly enthusiastic. Being able to discern which pieces are truly worth a splurge is one of my talents, and when it comes to the tried-and-true trench coat, I wholeheartedly stand behind this solid investment. Few fashion items have stood the test of time to reach the wardrobe hall of fame, but the trench coat is one that has ultimate staying power. Perhaps its immortal status has something to do with its chameleon-like ability to adapt to the trends of the moment--embellishments, fabrics, cuts, you name it! Because of its lasting appeal, the coat has been popular among legendary ladies from both the past and the present, as everyone from…

Show Stopping Statement Suits

Reds
Try saying that 5 times fast!! The women’s pantsuit has come a long way since Yves Saint Laurent designed the first of its kind, the infamous Le Smoking tuxedo suit, in 1966. Since then the matching separates have been reimagined with modern silhouettes, bright hues, and interesting fabrics, making it a trend we never tire of. While we love our tried-and-true monochrome versions, we’re eager to experiment with more exciting styles too, like the printed suit. A favorite of sartorial risk-takers, including Anna Dello Russo, Rita Ora, and Solange Knowles, this standout look is a surefire way to amp up your standard weekday repertoire and makes a serious style statement on and off the clock. On The Runway Go bold or go home—that’s what we imagine Iceberg designer Paolo Gernai…

Bold Stripes for Spring

Reds
ask a STYLIST With Emily Current and Meritt Elliott The stripes trend is everywhere. How can I get the look? Bold stripes can be intimidating—after all, no one wants to look like an umpire or a circus tent—but with some smart styling, they can be flattering, we promise. Here are our three favorite ways to wear this spring trend without fear! Tip #1: Mix With Abandon Embrace your inner '60s starlet and try a striking mix ofbigger, horizontal stripes on your top andsmaller, vertical stripes on your lower half. While there are lots of bright colors on the market, when you're starting out, stick toblack or navy. Also, it's smart to keep the accessories to a minimum and your shoes simple, chic and as comfortable as the best shoes for standing on concrete all…
