Ways to Wear Tailored Shorts

Reds
Put the word “tailored” in front of an article of clothing and that piece is instantly elevated. When applied to shorts, the casual spring staple goes from weekend-only to office and evening-appropriate. It’s that kind of versatility that makes tailored shorts newly appealing, and explains why stylephiles such as Gwen Stefani, Alexa Chung, and Julianne Hough are all fans of this new essential. Over the last couple of months, we’ve noticed a group of influencers wearing more structured shorts, and find their top-notch styling choices, from a bright monochrome shorts suit to a preppy stripes and denim mix, wholly inspiring. Keep reading for more ways to wear this key piece all season long. WHO: Julianne Hough WHAT: Visiting Good Day in Philadelphia to promote Safe Haven. WEAR: NoNoo Royal Blue Cotton and Silk Octavia…

Watercolor’s not just for Paper!

Reds
In Clueless, when Cher dubs popular girl Amber a “Monet,” it’s because she appears attractive from afar but her looks don't quite match up upon closer inspection. Thankfully, that’s not the case with these artistic watercolor pieces, which look perfectly stylish whether seen from a distance or not! This season, it seems as if everything from silky button-downs to skinny jeans are drenched in the dreamy, pastel motifs, and the look couldn’t be more appropriate for spring. At turns the trend is chic and youthful, like Ashley Madekwe’s Etro Butterfly Print Dress ($1998, 310.248.2855) at the Rodeo Drive Walk of Style event in Beverly Hills last December. The Revenge star’s frock stands out, thanks to the brushstroke butterfly print that pops against the white mini dress. At other times, watercolors feel more romantic and feminine,…

DIY: Embellished Tank

Reds
The Chloe S/S 13 show was a girly-girl's fantasy with all the dramatic ruffles, delicate pleats, and floral appliques. It was in one word: pretty. Among the collection's notable pieces is the Light Cady Top ($2350) with arrow-shaped beaded embellishments. Offering a quick and easy way to transform a basic tank, we turned to our Do It Yourself partner-in-crime Erica Domesek of P.S. I Made This for step-by-step guidance on how to get the look.   Ingredients -American Apparel Loose Crop Tank ($22) -Beaded Trim ($12/yard) -Rhinestones -Unique Stitch Fabric Glue ($6) -Measuring Tape ($4) - Scissors   Step One Measure the desired length for the beaded trim on your tank.

The Perfect Tee

Reds
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. That said, here are the four styles you should start with, but feel free to add more! Must-Have Tee #1: Slim, Snug, and Structured The key to this t-shirt is buying one that's true to size andfitted through the body and arms. Look for acrewneck cut and crisp, clean colors. This tee should not drape or bag, as it looks best paired with more voluminous pieces, like a wide-leg trouser or knee-length full skirt.Must-Have Tee #2: Relaxed and Rolled This tee should be slightly boxier in proportion and looser through the neck; it should show off a little collarbone. We…
