Floral Blazers for Spring

Reds

Ask a STYLIST What are some stylish ways to wear a floral blazer? We always love menswear-inspired blazers--from shrunken schoolboy styles to oversized options--including this season's must-tryfloral-print interpretations. Wearing thisfemmed-up jacket is easy; just follow our two styling suggestions to ensure you get it right!Styling Suggestion #1: Pair it with tailored shorts to create a summer suit. Surely you've seen some of your favorite starlets and stylesetters rock shorts suits? This look was all over the spring runways, so now's the time to partake in this bright and fresh look. Start with shorts that are tailored, but also a little relaxed in fit. (Neutrals likewhite, camel, or light gray work, but you can also try something brighter if you're feeling daring.) Grab an easy blouse to wear under your floral blazer--perhaps in silk or satin. Button your blouse all the way…

Reds

Forever21 Is At It Again

Reds

Umm, Did Forever 21 Really Just Blatantly Steal The Givenchy Rottweiler? Forever 21 is famous–err, infamous–for their designer knockoffs. First there was the Celine trapeze rip-off and who could forget all of these. But even still, we’re still pretty shocked when we find that the retailer literally carbon copies something iconic. Case in point: the Givenchy Rottweiler. Everyone from Rihanna and Nicole Richie to Kanye West and Liv Tyler have rocked tees and sweatshirts emblazoned with the ferocious mutt cementing its icon status. But rather than let Givenchy have this little victory, Forever 21 had to go and copy (again). Here’s the Givenchy Rottweiler: Givenchy Rottweiler Crystal Accent Sweater ($865) And this is the Forever 21 version: Forever 21 Studded Dog Muscle Shirt The similarities are, well, can you even tell the difference? We can’t. Except, of course, that…

Jumpsuits for Work & Play

Reds

Although there have been countless iconic jumpsuit moments throughout fashion history--from David Bowie in Ziggy Stardust-era spandex to Britney Spears in red latex circa "Oops!... I Did It Again"--my favorite has to be Rosie The Riveter. The 1940s cultural icon was a symbol of female empowerment in her utilitarian denim jumpsuit and polka dot head scarf. Many years later, the jumpsuit--whether in full-length form or in an abbreviated romper style--still seems to be the calling card of a gutsy lady. Not everyone is game for gambling on the one-piece, though, with resistance running the gamut from claims it will be ill-fitting to infantile. But when properly executed (I have some tips below!) you can achieve stellar results. It’s all about finding the right fit and style for you. As the S/S 13 runways revealed, there…

Head to Toe White

Reds

Ask a Stylist With Emily Current and Meritt Elliott How should I wear head-to-toe white this season? A: We’re seeing the head-to-toe white look everywhere and are happy to report that the trend is much easier to execute than you might think. We have two simple formulas to make this monochromatic ensemble feel refreshingly cool, so cleanse your palette and listen up! Styling Tip #1: Pure and Simple Mixing in soft creams and camel pieces with your otherwise white outfit will keep your look light and airy in a very South Hampton kind of way. To ensure your outfit doesn’t feel one-note, play with texture; mixing cashmeres,silks, and lightweight leathers will make your white look feel luxe and lovely. Styling Tip #2: Polar Opposites Break up your crisp white look with blackaccents. A cool black tee or blouse against a white blazer and white skinny…

Channel your inner Punk Princess

Reds

Some say punk is dead, but given the subculture’s enduring contributions to high fashion, we’d have to argue otherwise. The anti-establishment/DIY attitude that was once spearheaded by the Sex Pistols and Vivienne Westwood can still be seen on the runways today, and as the subject of this year’s Costume Institute exhibition--Chaos to Couture--at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 9th, the influence of punk has never been more prevalent. As we consider how today’s designers, including Anna Sui and Rodarte’s Kate and Laura Mulleavy, have appropriated this ripped-and-torn look for S/S 13, we couldn’t think of a more fitting subject for today’s Currently Channeling. The Inspiration Punk icons such as Sid Vicious and Joey Ramone may have made all the noise back in the day, but it was the subculture’s…

White Jackets Aren’t Just for Doctors!

Reds

Spring Has Officially Spring So It’s Time To Bust Out The White–Blazers, That Is We know it’s only April, but in our minds (and closets), as soon as it hits temperatures warm enough to forgo tights, we whip out our best whites. This year, our white item of choice is the blazer, which adds instant polish to almost any outfit. The trick to making sure your white blazer looks like a polished jacket and not a doctor’s overcoat is in the fit and the details. Make sure the blazer is extremely fitted–even if it’s a boyfriend style, the shoulders should be tailored–and look for options with fun details like leather piping or embellished sleeves. With options fromRebecca Minkoff, Rag & Bone, Theory, Haute Hippie, DVF, and Vince available to shop now, we’re sure you’ll find…

Brighten Up your Lace

Reds

Though white lace brings to mind bridal gowns and black lace tends to feel naughty, brightly colored lace is free of such associations. In attention-grabbing hues like crimson, citrus, and neon green, it offers a fun, fresh, and feminine way to amplify your everyday mix. These vivid pieces couldn’t be more perfect for all of summer’s al fresco events, which is why we’ve gathered some of our favorite styles, from a pair of tailored shorts to a swingy day-to-night dress, to help you shop the look now. And you’ll be happy to know that all of today’s picks are Under $100! The Inspiration For spring, Elie Saab presented one show-stopping moment after the next, but it was the designer’s Lace Dress ($6300) in Berry and Blush that had our jaws on the floor.…

Bad News for Target?

Reds

Only 3 Items From The Kate Young x Target Collection Are Sold Out–Bad Sign? I’ve been lusting after the Kate Young for Target collection ever since the lookbook hit last month. Well, the collection finally arrived yesterday and it has me wishing I could go to prom all over again (something I thought I’d never say). The celebrity stylist’s collection features formal dresses and separates that look expensive, but won’t break your budget. The apparel ranges in price from $29.99 to $89.99, and jewelry, handbags and shoes from $14.99 to $49.99. But it looks like I may be one of the few people with a long Kate Young x Target shopping list. As of 1pm EST Monday afternoon, only three of the Kate Young x Target clothing items were sold out online and all of the shoes and handbags are…
