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.

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…

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!

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…

I'm looking for the perfect t-shirt. Any suggestions? Like denim, good t-shirts should be the foundation of any girls' closet. As firm believers in effortless dressing, we think the right tee can make every outfit cooler and every trend more manageable.
