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…

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…

Cuffing Season

Plums
I guess Imma need some batteries for winter! Get your minds out of the gutter! Thanks to Future & that crisp chill outside “I'm looking for 'em with a flashlight” is the lips of pretty much every single person anywhere! Yep, it's cuffing season folks & being in the single boat myself I gotta say it's starting to get to me!! & I blame the media! Normally my year starts off with me single, working on me & making myself happy. By spring I'm still making me happy but I'm focused on staying single so I can freely mingle during the summer. Fall comes around & I'm still happy but all of a sudden the “boo applications” & “booty call guidelines” along with the National Boyfriend Day & all the…

DIY: Embellished Sweater

Reds
While there is a surplus of sparkly sweaters on the market right now, there's something about an embellished version that feels more forward-looking. Case in point: 3.1 Phillip Lim's Embellished Wool Sweater ($550) from the Resort 13 collection. Adorned with multicolored glass beads, the crew-neck not only hits on a major trend for the current season, but its decorative look is sure to be a crowd pleaser too. Lucky for its admirers, this month's Do It Yourself project offers an affordable way to get the look! The Inspiration It's hard to call out our favorite piece from the 3.1 Phillip Lim resort collection-how can we when there are so many covetable items to choose from?-but the designer's playfully embellished knits are definitely at the top of our list. Thanks to the addition of hand-painted…
