Abercrombie & Fitch Should Be Ashamed

Reds
5 Reasons We Won’t Be Shopping At Abercrombie & Fitch Anytime Soon Abercrombie & Fitch and it’s outrageous CEO Mike Jeffries are no strangers to controversy. Shirtless salesmen aside, this is the company that openly owns up to the fact that they’ll only hire attractive people and that sells padded push-up bikinis for toddlers. Grossed out yet? Oh wait, it gets worse. I just finished reading this article over on Elite Daily and it turns out Mike Jeffries is even douchier than previously imagined (if that’s even possible). If you’ve ever shopped in an Abercrombie & Fitch store and wondered, “Hmm, why can’t I get this shirt in an XL?” there’s a reason. Jeffries doesn’t want fat people wearing Abercrombie & Fitch. No, really. We’re not just making this up. According to an interview Jeffries did with…

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…

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…

Sam & Libby’s for Target

Reds
First Photos: Sam & Libby’s New Lower-Priced Line For Target (From $25!) Is it just us, or has there been a surprising lack of buzz about the Sam Edelman‘s  super-affordable collaboration with Target? Sam & Libby, which launches in stores and at Target.com on May 5, was announced back in November, but we haven’t heard much about it since. We did some investigating and managed to get our hands on images of the line, which includes sandals, wedges, flats and more. We are shocked by how closely some of the styles resemble Sam Edelman’s classic designs. And with prices starting at just $24.99, these shoes are a total steal. Click through the slideshow to get a sneak peek at the collection. Which style are you most excited about? For more recent collaborations, check out Charlotte Olympia x Tom Binns, Aerin x Erickson Beamon jewelry collection and Melissa Jellies…

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…
