Headbands are like red lipstick: with the right outfit, it's an extra touch that makes the look stand out. At Louis Vuitton's Spring 2013 show, designer Marc Jacobs took inspiration from the '60s, with models showing off deep side parts, thick lashes, and girlish headbands. Put your glue-gun skills to the test this holiday season, and learn how to re-create this chic hair accessory at home. On Kirbie: Rory Beca top.
With Fall in full swing, some may be wary of taking their colored denim into cooler months, but Irina Shayk's latest travel style proves the popular Summer trend translates perfectly into Fall and Winter when styled correctly. The model paired her periwinkle denim with a black knit sweater, suede fold-over boots, and a periwinkle leather Fendi tote ($3,720) while strolling through the Madrid airport. Her chunky knit and textured boots balanced her colored skinny jeans perfectly, while her monogrammed Louis Vuitton scarf ($630) and aviator shades added a touch of model glamour. Take a cue from Irina and pair rich-hued denim — think mustard, rust, and military green — with luxe knits and cozy wrap scarves for a cool-weather take on the celeb-approved Summer trend.

Kim Kardashian's style has transitioned from glamour girl to rock-chic goddess, swapping bold colors and prints for lots of luxe leather, and her latest Miami ensemble was right on point. The brunette stunner styled an olive green button-down blouse with a black leather miniskirt and laser-cut Jimmy Choo sandals while running errands with her boyfriend Kanye West. She completed her South Beach style with a few gold bangles, face-framing Kanye West wrap sunglasses, and a printed Louis Vuitton zip wallet. Mimic Kim's look with a green button-down, black leather mini, and cutout sandals for cocktails with the girls.
Well, that was fun: another Fashion Month has come and gone. Now that we've had time to regroup, it seems like this one was a lot more eventful than seasons past. Certainly a lot of the excitement had to do with the new arrivals at Dior and Saint Laurent, but those weren't the only happenings that caused a stir this month. From the critic who got into public spats with two high-profile designers to the most recognizable accessory of the season, we examine the reasons why the Spring 2013 collections will stick out in our minds for years to come.
Hilary Duff looked casual and polished in this red A.L.C. contrast-trim tank ($295), cuffed skinny jeans, and nude studded Christian Louboutin flats — available in black here ($995) — while running errands in Sherman Oaks. The new mom completed her daytime look with an oversize monogram Louis Vuitton tote ($900), a no-fuss updo, and her cutest accessory, baby Luca. Re-create Hilary's LA look with her exact top, denim skinny jeans, and studded flats for a day of errands or swap the flats for these studded Christian Louboutin pumps ($1,195) for a fancy upgrade.
We can always rely on a showstopping performance at Louis Vuitton, and once again Marc Jacobs delivered. There were no trains this season, but the designer kept the energy up with four giant escalators that poured out onto a yellow and white checked arena. The '60s Edie Sedgwick-inspired vibe he put out at his namesake line carried over into his designs for Louis Vuitton — black, white, and acid yellow checkerboard motifs were overt, and the former collection's party girl hairdos got some polish at the latter with bow-bedecked headbands. If you're looking for a way to update shift dresses, matchy-matchy suits, and otherwise mod silhouettes, you can check that off your list thanks to MJ.

Checkmate. For Louis Vuitton's Spring 2013 collection, Marc Jacobs took the house's iconic damier check, blew it up, and applied it to, well, everything. The models appeared on one of four escalators whose stairs were decorated with white and yellow stripes and walked onto a floor decorated with the check pattern.
The clothing, done in shades of yellow, green, brown, black, and white, were similarly checked. A large version of the yellow and white damier appeared on the first long-skirted suit that came down the runway, then got smaller in the black-and-white bralette top and maxi skirt that came after it. As if to underscore the duality of the print (or at least the colors in it), Jacobs sent his models down the runway in pairs, with each pair wearing coordinating looks.
All the models in this show wore bows in their hair, and nearly all of them carried bags in the damier check. The styling and feeling was slightly '60s, but the rounded shoulders on jackets and shirts felt modern — and so did the inclusion of lots of different skirt lengths.
There was a dialogue between this collection and the Spring line for his namesake brand, which was heavy on stripes. This show, however, was cleaned up and a little more sophisticated — and all the bright yellow gave you an unavoidable sense of happiness.
Jessica Hart stepped out in NYC, donning an off-duty model style that was equally chic and sporty. The model paired a light pink button-down blouse with white high-top Converse sneakers ($45), an embossed patent leather Louis Vuitton bag ($2,490), and our favorite piece — unexpected black suede leggings. Celebrities have made leather pants the new Hollywood staple, so Jessica's suede bottoms are a refreshing change. Work a colored button-down top with these faux suede Karen Kane leggings ($99), white Converse, and a sleek patent leather bag for a low-key daytime look, or amp it up at night with these lizard-print Alexander Wang pumps ($525) and a statement necklace.
