Thank You, Jessica Alba, For Inspiring Our Weekend Outfit

Leave it to Jessica Alba to take something as simple and uneventful as shopping at Target and turn it into serious fashion fodder.

Leave it to Jessica Alba to take something as simple and uneventful as shopping at Target and turn it into serious fashion fodder. The actress headed out to finish up some holiday shopping in a look that was the perfect example of laid-back edgy luxe. She started with a pair of star-print jeans, then layered up with a gray slouchy tee, cozy snood, and black open cardigan. The pièce de résistance of Jessica's look was undoubtedly her Simone studded leather jacket, which rounded out the biker-cool ensemble while still coming off as effortless and superchic. She accessorized with basic leather ankle boots and a bright, eye-catching bag. Whether you're spending the next couple of days with friends and family or hoofing it around town to finish up gift shopping, Jessica's outfit would be a killer one for your weekend-warrior activities.

Best of 2012

Isabel Marant Takes the Win For Best It Shoe of 2012

In a year that was filled with covetable shoes, Isabel Marant's wedge sneaker took the win for the It shoe of the year.

In a year that was filled with covetable shoes, Isabel Marant's wedge sneaker took the win for the It shoe of the year. It was a close call — Christian Louboutin came in a close second — but there was no denying the huge wedge sneaker craze that took over 2012. Right in line with the year's sporty trend, Marant's cool sneakers have been spotted on numerous celebrities (Marant's futuristic Bekett and girlier Bobby designs were the most popular) and fashion girls alike. And ringing in at about $640 for a pair, we weren't surprised to see a huge spawn of knockoffs — and neither was the designer. "I cannot say I'm surprised, because I worked a very long time to achieve it," said Marant. "It took a long time because when you have a wedge in the shoe it can be very bulky. When I finished it, I knew it was going to be a hit, and that it would be copied." We can't wait to see the new designs she has in store for us next year, but for now, click the slideshow to see the celebrities who donned Marant's ultracool sneakers in 2012.
