V-Day Inspiration: Marry Red and Pink Like Molly Sims

Not only did Molly Sims brighten up the red carpet at the NYC premiere of Safe House with her pregnant glow, but also via her red-and-pink BCBGMAXAZRIA maxi dress.

Not only did Molly Sims brighten up the red carpet at the NYC premiere of Safe House with her pregnant glow, but also via her red-and-pink BCBGMAXAZRIA maxi dress. The marriage of red and pink isn't entirely breaking news, but it is totally relevant at the moment since we're all trying to find the perfect Valentine's Day ensemble. One option is to buy a red-and-pink dress like Molly's, or you can re-create the look via separates. Tuck a pink tank into leather shorts or a skirt. Or what about a red top paired with pink denim? Tees, tanks, miniskirts, maxi skirts, pencil skirts, shorts, jeans . . . the combinations are truly endless, so play around. Then, when you've picked the perfect red-and-pink look, finish off with a black blazer and strappy sandals like Molly's Jimmy Choo pair ($750).

10 Crosby: Fall 2012

Derek Lam's new venture, 10 Crosby, has fulfilled its cool-girl status for Fall '12. The third collection from the line, 10 Crosby showed plenty of bold prints, sharp tailoring, and just the right amount of femininity to please every downtown girl. Inspired by the classic holiday flick Home Alone, Lam and design director Liz Giardina envisioned what the 10 Crosby girl would wear on a snowy Winter day. With that thought in mind, the two created silky printed palazzo pants, cozy peplum cardigans, fox-fur vests, and pajama-inspired tops tempered with tailored poplin shirt dresses and sharp trousers. We especially love the chambray shirt dress and chunky peplum cardigan combo. More defining moments below, then check out the complete collection lookbook, starring Belgian beauty Hanne Gaby Odiele.

  • Trends: Bold prints, palazzo pants, sheer, plaid, peplum.
  • Colors: Red, nude, gray, green, brown.
  • Key Piece: We love the chic structured shirt dress and gray peplum sweater combination.
  • Accessories: Loafers, ankle-strap sandals, pumps, skinny belts, sling-back platform mules.
  • Who Would Wear It: Girls who like polish with an edge like Olivia Palermo, Amanda Brooks, and Kate Bosworth.
