Ugly Betty Style: Betty Suarez

Sometimes Betty's looks are a little off, but it's usually in an endearingly eclectic way.

Sometimes Betty's looks are a little off, but it's usually in an endearingly eclectic way. Such is the case with this blue dress and printed vest. Neither quite match the red belt she wears with them, but it seems to work on Betty. Get a similar look of Betty's colorful ensemble below.

I have lived in San Francisco for a couple years now, but I have not yet seen everything there is to be seen. While the weather is still nice, I am discovering boroughs I haven't yet trekked to. Since I'll be playing my own tour guide, I asked you to play my stylist. I needed an ensemble I can walk hours in but that maintains a level of style.

I started you off with these Tory Burch Channing Patent Sneakers ($145); they will keep my feet pretty and protected. Let's see what you all came up with!


Look #1, created by barbiesugar, is just my kind of touring outfit — fun, chic, girlie. The umbrella may come in handy, too.

Drama is already heavy on the second season of Lipstick Jungle — as is the fashion. Nico isn't letting some major betrayal mess with her style sense. Quite the contrary; she is looking damn fine in colorful frocks and sensual separates. Victory is adorable as always with her growing business and festive prints. To each style her own, these women are owning their dramadies and their wardrobes.

Paris Fashion Week, Spring 2009: Dries Van Noten

Take Belgian eclecticism, mixed with California cool and Russian artist Malevich, and you have one of my favorite Spring collections thus far.

Take Belgian eclecticism, mixed with California cool and Russian artist Malevich, and you have one of my favorite Spring collections thus far. Oh, Dries. A mix of elegant black and white and some punchy, definitively Dries colors, and you have the palette. Fluid pants, laid-back suiting, grid prints, embroidered clusters, and silky, boxy day dresses are all favorites here. Accessories also piqued my interest: grid print clutches, bauble necklaces, milky sunglasses, and graphic sandals. And the best part: these are all wearable. Many of today's designers struggle to find the harmony between inventive and commercially viable — van Noten found it.
