Bold & Basic!

Reds

I am a HUGE fan of basic black & white combos & it turns out I'm not the only one! It doesn't get any more basic than black and white, but as so many spring runways demonstrate, these contrasting neutrals are anything but boring this season. Statement-making black and white prints--think: graphic grids and standout stripes--offer a modern way to wear the season's mod looks and work just as well in real life as they do on the runways. Best of all, this is a trend you can try right now; just look to style stars like Chloe Moretz and Anja Rubik to see how it's done. On The Runway Marc Jacobs mined the '60s for his S/S 13 collection, which was rife…

Reds

Here's the latest from Pirated Fashion. In this episode Karis & Mia recycle Thanh's closet. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EEJmbcukb0] I was so exhausted Friday (darn double shifts!) that I forgot to post last weeks video. No worries, here it is! Last week they gave us a new segment called Trunk Dreams where they sit down with different people in the fashion industry and chat about they journey in the business. The first in the series is Honor Roll Clothing Group's creator Blair. [youtube http://youtu.be/8A55g_VznDY]

Playful or Sultry for Valentine’s Day?

Reds

What should I wear on a Valentine's Day date? Valentine's Day is one of our favorite times of year because not only is it an excuse to be silly and romantic with our loved ones, but we also love the explosion of pink, red, and overt girliness on the market. February 14th is the perfect excuse to buy those conversation hearts, write heartfelt cards, and indulge your ultra-sweet fashion alter ego. Tip #1: Embrace anything lingerie or boudoir-inspired. Gorgeous lace details, whether it's on a simple cap sleeve, shift dress, pretty pumps, or handbag, will make you feel instantly feminine and flirtatious. We're partial to the timelessness of white lace, but we also love it in neon pink for those of you who are feeling playful, or black for a subtly sultry result. Tip #2: Wear your heart on your sleeve. Now is…

Nice Watch!!

Reds

Of all the essential accessories out there, the watch is probably the most underrated, as people tend think of it as a merely functional piece. We feel quite differently, however, and believe that when chosen correctly, a timepiece can actually highlight your individual sensibilities while adding an element of sophistication to your look. As part of your everyday wardrobe, it's important to invest in the right ticker, which is why we're showcasing some of the season's chicest styles, from oversized menswear iterations to colored versions, in today's Market Watch roundup. Celebrity Inspiration We love the vintage Rolex Ashley Olsen wore with a shirt by The Row and vintage Chanel skirt at the J. Mendel S/S 13 show during NYFW. Worn alone, the menswear-inspired timepiece works overtime as a chic bracelet. Opting for…

Styling Tips for Winter Pt.4

Reds

Even though the fashion industry is built on the incessant need for newness and change, that doesn't mean you need to reinvent the wheel every time you get dressed in the morning. Sometimes a slight alteration or minor addition can make all the difference. For proof of this point, look no further than today's crop of seven tastemakers. While their outfits are hardly revolutionary, their personal twists on classic styles are certainly impressive. From the clever way Rihanna spruced up a basic tee to Anne Hathaway's striking accessory, this month's edition of Styling Tips has tons of sartorial advice worth heeding if you're itching to add some variety to your wardrobe. Tip #1: Bundle up with a bright plaid scarf. If your cold-weather wardrobe consists mostly of neutrals, we recommend adding a…

What makes a “Bad B****”?

Plums

I have no idea where it started but for some reason we've become fascinated with being a “bad bitch”. I mean we could blame Trina for calling herself “The baddest b****” but she's been saying that since the late 90's & this is a more recent phenomenon. Now I'm not gonna lie, I have tossed it around with my friends in a “Ooh b****!!! You better work!!” meant entirely as a compliment but even with the most excitement I feel a sting from the b**** part when it's said back to me. I think when I hear it, in the back of my mind I'm picturing a Shenehneh like character that uses her physical appearance to get what she wants & doesn't complete her night without acting a fool in…

Styling Tips for Winter Pt.3

Reds

It's freezing outside, and all you want to do is throw on a soft sweatshirt and call it a day—we totally get it. In fact, we actually encourage you to partake in this sort of laid-back dressing now that there are so many irresistible designer pullovers available. The key is to look for intriguing or unexpected details—like color-blocking, lace overlays, or cheeky embellishments—to elevate the casual sweatshirt from couch-worthy to statement-making. Perfect for playful weekend jaunts or grounding girly outfits, this is definitely a piece you should Go Buy Now. On The Runway Good news: this trend is on-point now and will hold strong well through spring. We noted a statement sweatshirt—specifically the Porcelain Neoprene Sweatshirt ($1795)—in the mix at the Prabal Gurung S/S 13 show. Sheer side panels add femininity to…
