    Miranda Kerr Does the Impossible — Makes Leather Leggings Look Cozy

    We're all aware that Miranda Kerr looks great in just about anything, but it's her styling prowess that continues to impress us.

    We're all aware that Miranda Kerr looks great in just about anything, but it's her styling prowess that continues to impress us. What we're talking about is this: did you ever think you'd consider the words "red," "leather," and "cozy" in the same thought? Because that's exactly what Miranda is giving us in spades. Oh, and let's add "ultrapolished" to the lineup, too. While her skintight leather leggings are more "sexy biker chick" than anything else, she took care to balance out the sultry silhouette with softer layers (read: Winter friendly) on top. We love the laid-back bohemian feel of her Étoile Isabel Marant floral-lined black top and chunky red-ribbed cardigan, which indicated she can multitask when it comes to her cold-weather style sensibilities. If your final destination doesn't happen to be a meeting or a date, feel free to switch out the sleek red pumps for a flat ankle boot instead. The look revolves around the key staple juxtaposition, so a shoe swap won't infringe upon the outfit's appeal. Now that you know how to mix your reds, your leather leggings, and your comfier components in one go, shop our editors' picks below.

    No One Does the Leggy Look Quite as Well as Tina Turner

    When we think rock star royalty, there's no one quite like Tina Turner.

    When we think rock star royalty, there's no one quite like Tina Turner. From "What's Love Got to Do With It" to her epic Grammys duet with Beyoncé, Tina's micro-miniskirts, bedazzled minidresses, frayed Levi's jackets, formfitting metallics, and all-black leather getups have showcased one of her finest features — besides her rockin' pipes, of course — and that's her gorgeous gams. To say she's got a leg up on us would be an understatement; her signature wild hair, nonstop dancing, and edgy yet feminine style go hand in hand with her sparkly, sky-high hems. But what do we love most about this talented performer? She's the epitome of 73 years young, and we hope to look half as good (and just as leggy) as her. In honor of Tina's birthday, we're rollin', rollin' down the (memory) river — take a look back at eight of her sexiest and leggiest moments.

    Get Michael Kors's Rustic Fall Runway Look For Less

    Michael Kors created the perfect rustic look for Fall with his blanket-striped skirt, marl-knit sweater, and platform sandals.

    Michael Kors created the perfect rustic look for Fall with his blanket-striped skirt, marl-knit sweater, and platform sandals. In fact, we can easily picture ourselves donning this look for holiday gatherings and family dinners. Needless to say, buying the head-to-toe runway look is a little out of our price range, so we've relied on our expert styling skills to create a similar outfit that's just as nice — but without the steep price tag. Listen up: pair a rustic-looking striped or plaid skirt (it's really more about the color combination and textures here) with a cozy knit and accessorize the look with a wide leather belt and platform sandals. The results are stunning, and we guarantee that you'll be the envy of your next holiday party with this statement look. Shop the look for much, much less below.

    Left to right: Full Tilt marled sweater ($27), ASOS check midi skirt ($78), Benefit Benetint cheek and lip stain ($29), Phillip Lim Nashiki wide belt ($137, originally $235), Pour La Victoire Glenna Platform sandal ($285)

    Style to Disguise Anything

    Mom always said that confidence was a girl's best accessory — and the secret to wearing it well is simply knowing and dressing for your body type.

    Mom always said that confidence was a girl's best accessory — and the secret to wearing it well is simply knowing and dressing for your body type. With the right fashion tricks, you can conceal your every insecurity and enhance your best assets. So go ahead and make your momma proud! Consider these tips to make the most of your shape and skin to look and feel great:

    • TO CONCEAL a tummy . . .
    REVEAL your upper body with a bold statement necklace or a blouse with an embellished neckline. If you've got slender legs, show them off by pairing an empire-waisted top over black leggings.

    • TO CONCEAL a large bust . . .
    REVEAL your curves in a wrap dress that accentuates your waist, or a well-tailored blazer that covers your chest while amplifying your silhouette. You can also elongate your neckline (and balance out your bust) by choosing tops with a flattering V- or scoop-neck.

    • TO CONCEAL a wider bottom . . .
    REVEAL a flair for patterns — and a pattern for wearing flares! Look for tops and dresses in interesting patterns and prints that distract the eye, and A-line skirts that drape without clinging.

    TO CONCEAL a problem area above the neck . . .
    Try new Abreva® Conceal™, a clear, nonmedicated patch that instantly hides cold sores and blemishes for a fabulous, flawless finish. Click here to learn more.

    Look of the Day: Print Perfection

    The trick to pulling off prints is keeping the rest of your outfit solid.

    The trick to pulling off prints is keeping the rest of your outfit solid. Fab community member Stefanie Jannes sports a great pair of tribal printed pants with a V-neck sweater and lace-up shoes, both in the same shade of dark blue to add contrast and cohesion to her diamond-printed look. No accessories are needed to make this outfit sing, but a pair of classically framed sunglasses keep her looking cool all day long.

    Congrats, Stefanie Jannes.
