We spotted Gwen Stefani walking around London's Primrose Hill in a casual but stylish ensemble.

We spotted Gwen Stefani walking around London's Primrose Hill in a casual but stylish ensemble. She updated a basic black pair of shorts and tights with a splash of polka-dot print in a less-expected color combo: gray and white. Gwen always puts her personal, quirky spin on her outfits, so naturally she added a bold red lip and some eclectic retro Dita shades. Watch to see the entire look now!

Celeb Style: Taylor Swift's Sweet Pleats and Bright Color

We're pretty crazy about Taylor Swift's latest look — a perfect exercise in bold color combos and sweet, ladylike pieces.

We're pretty crazy about Taylor Swift's latest look — a perfect exercise in bold color combos and sweet, ladylike pieces. A classic, fitted navy knit is the perfect counter to her bright yellow pleats, but Taylor's color play doesn't stop there. We love that she adds interest with a pair of red ballet flats and a new shade of blue on her crossbody bag. Altogether, the results hint at that superpolished aesthetic we strive for without feeling stuffy or overworked. Take note: a few bright hues work wonders for your look. Just shop our key pieces to channel Taylor's style.

After 95 Years, Keds Finally Launches a Cool Clothing Line — Will You Wear It?

We've all owned a pair of Keds in our lifetime and now, just a mere 95 years after the brand was first conceived, Keds is launching a clothing line.

We've all owned a pair of Keds in our lifetime and now, just a mere 95 years after the brand was first conceived, Keds is launching a clothing line. The limited-edition Resort collection is set to launch exclusively during the holiday weekend on Black Friday at Opening Ceremony stores and on its website. There will be 85 styles to shop from and judging from the sneak peek below, we expect to see a preppy-meets-cool collection of printed dresses (we love the adorable Peter Pan collar), varsity-inspired sweaters, and tailored tops ranging from $48 to $400. We can't wait to grab a piece for ourselves and, since it's the holiday season, one for our BFF. What are your thoughts on the collection?

Surprisingly Versatile: 1 Trench Coat, 5 Chic Ways to Wear It

Trench coats: they're cool and classic and lend a polished vibe to your look — no matter what you happen to be wearing underneath.
How to Wear a Trench Coat For Winter 2011

Trench coats: they're cool and classic and lend a polished vibe to your look — no matter what you happen to be wearing underneath. The sleek silhouette calls to mind fashion icons like Jackie O., Katharine Hepburn, or Ingrid Bergman in Casablanca (who can forget her trench coat flapping in the breeze?). We've seen lots of cool spins on the timeless trench this season, from Burberry's leather sleeves and acid-bright hues to Diane von Furstenberg's cropped, nylon iterations — and the best thing about the style is that it comes in multiseasonal fabrications and colors, making it an appropriate choice for any occasion. We've taken one definitively classic Burberry London Marystow Gabardine Trench ($1,095) and styled it five different ways — for work, play, and everything in between.
