When Olivia Palermo takes a stroll, it's always a stylish one. Aside from staring down her arm candy, Johannes Huebl, we're also digesting the look. This time she stepped out in a utilitarian shirt dress, one we love because of its menswear-gone-girlish vibe. It melds utility, functionality, and casual ease, and pairs best with ladylike footwear to counter the heavy pockets and structure. Try a pair of ballet flats like Olivia for now, then booties and tights later on.
If you've ever wanted to experiment with pretty pleats, now's the time. Accordion pleats are cropping up in unexpected places. They're a classic take on texture, but don't think these pleats signal school girl. They're playful and fresh in other fabrics, like chiffon, à la Jessica Alba in Marc Jacobs, or even a little naughty in leather. Whether you select them as a part of the whole look, or just to experiment with the details, they're modern and femme, and insanely flirtatious.
Of all the hotties at the Mulberry party in LA last night, Jessica Stroup looked like she had the most fun. The 90210 star was all smiles wearing a tenacious textural 'fit composed of an embellished black skirt, v-neck halter top, and lace cardi. Black pumps, a matching clutch, and a chunky silver ring are her accompaniments of choice. It's all black — and far from basic.

Sometimes, necklaces don't have to be huge to make a statement. Sessilee Lopez knows what I mean. The model attended the Jonathan Adler for 7 For All Mankind party in NYC donning a cute key charm necklace by KV BIJOU. The stunning simplicity immediately grabbed our attention and we love how Sessilee contrasted her silver key with a black beaded necklace. And isn't there something about keys that makes us wonder where they came from and what secrets they hold?

Denim boyfriend shorts are still the rage; I just picked up another pair. Mine are dark, but these AG Adriano Goldschmied Ex Boyfriend Shorts ($165) are good if you seek a lighter version. They have just the right amount of bagginess without looking masculine. Since this trend is so hot, there are many cheaper options. Let's go see one.

Whitney Port attended Target's Fall '10 preview in Australia looking her usual cute self. We love how The City star utilized her fresh styling skills, pairing a dotted Rebecca Taylor denim skirt with a ruffled leather jacket, swiss dot top, and girly red sandals. For accessories, Whitney donned a fringed gold necklace, bangles, and a complementary ring. We adore her spotty dotty ways, don't you?

Madewell designer Alexa Chung took a break from NYC to check out Paris Fashion Week. At the Chanel show, she layered a furry tweed coat over a white blouse — check out those rad ribbons! They add just the right amount of flair to her palette, and take note of the Parisian-meets-bohemian reference. Such an easy way to achieve fashion greatness, no?
Fab's a huge advocate of the ever-so-calculated disheveled chic look. While some scoff at the layers and mismatched pieces, we revel in them. We love how Ally Hilfiger created her own messy masterpiece with a striped shirt dress, trench, tights, and platform pumps. Hone in on her striped frock: not only do the vertical lines add length, they also evoke a posh, preppy feel — even when wrinkled.

Being sexy during Winter can be difficult. After all, layers upon layers conceal your bod. This Cheap Monday Black Open-Knit Sweater ($75) puts an end to that theory. How hot is the sporty peek-a-boo bra effect? The price isn't that bad, but I discovered a similar version for way less.
