Really Forever21?!

Reds
Forever 21 Knocked Off Celine’s Trapeze Bag & Didn’t Bother To Change The Name It’s no secret that Forever 21 sells its fair share of designer knock-offs, but when we saw this one we couldn’t help but balk. Not only does it look exactly like Celine’s Trapeze bag, but it’s even called the same thing! We can’t decide if Forever 21′a brazen copycat behavior is the result of an oversight or reflective of their IDGAF attitude toward ripping off designer work. Copying design is one thing, but going so far as to even name your bag the same thing? That’s just flagrant and we’re kinda shocked. What do you think? Do you think Forever 21 should at least change the name of their Celine Trapeze knock-off bag or is all fair…

White is the new Black

Reds
The little black dress may be the epitome of classic sophistication, but lately we're more interested in its modern counterpart—the little white dress. With streamlined silhouettes and interesting embellishments, a white cocktail frock makes a definitive statement without being flashy (like you'd get with red or brights) or boring (other neutrals like gray are chic, but don't stand out the same way). We love the way fashion-forward ladies like Zoe Saldana and Naomi Watts are currently wearing this key piece, and think you’ll find their choices inspiring too. Read on for all of today’s outfit details and shop similar styles to get the look now. On The Runway Nothing makes us want to fill up our evening social calendar quite like Prabal Gurung’s Ice White Silk Cloque Drop Waist Dress with…

Style Tips for Spring

Reds
Just like clockwork, every spring the stripe returns to the spotlight, but this season’s play on the motif is bigger and bolder than ever. The look is a sophisticated nod to ‘60s-inspired style, and we’ve noticed several fashionphiles earning their stripes in a way that’s easy to replicate. From Nicole Richie’s graphic dress to Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s striking jumpsuit, continue reading to see how these stylish girls wear bold stripes, then shop the look today. On The Runways Striped patterns dominated the season’s runways, particularly at Marc Jacobs’ S/S 13 show. The designer’s collection channeled a decidedly mod mood: thick parallel stripes covered everything from atailored blazer to a slim skirt and the Black And Ivory Silk Jersey Dress ($1900, 212.343.1490), paired with Black Patent Leather Mary Jane Flats ($625, 212.343.1490). Yet the look remained modern…

Gentlemen Uncensored

Plums
I've recently fallen in love with a new youtube channel & this time it's not all about jokes, parodies and pranks! I've been following Madame Noire for some years now, probably almost as long as I've been on twitter! (which believe it or not has only been about 3 years) I love their content & a few weeks ago I discovered their youtube -yes, I'm super late. lol! Their latest series, Gentlemen Uncensored, is a look inside a mans mind on various topics and relationships with opinions from different types of men like 'The Divorcee' 'The Married Man' 'The Non-Committer', etc. Gentlemen Uncensored has me glued to the screen and anxious for the the next episode & you will be too!

A Lil Leather Never Hurt Nobody

Reds
Slim leather leggings will always be a mainstay in cool girls’ stylish wardrobes, but this season, it's all about another runway favorite—the baggy leather trouser. These low-slung, slouchy pants are more menswear-chic than their skinny rock ‘n’ roll counterparts and are becoming increasingly popular among fashion insiders and well-dressed celebs alike. We find them completely desirable too, as they offer the perfect blend of androgyny and understated sex appeal. For tips on how to wear this spring essential and to shop the season’s best styles, don’t miss today’s Trend Report. On The Runways At Balmain, designer Olivier Rousteing showed his version of the baggy leather trouser—a high-waisted pant with front-pleat details and a cuffed hem—which perfectly embodied the collection’s Miami-in-the-'80s theme. Paired here with the Yellow Short-Sleeved Cropped Top Embroidered with…
