Coachella Prep: Forgo Grunge For '20s Chic Like Blake Lively

Blake Lively donned a '20s-inspired Coachella-worthy look while enjoying the sunny LA weather with Ryan Reynolds.

Blake Lively donned a '20s-inspired Coachella-worthy look while enjoying the sunny LA weather with Ryan Reynolds. The blond bombshell tucked a white tee into a floral navy mini, then traded her signature pumps for a pair of snake-print flats. Her ribbon-accented Topshop hat and classic sunglasses shielded from the UV rays, while her burgundy Chanel bag and turquoise stud earrings added major glam factor. Re-create this outfit with a few simple pieces — white top, floral miniskirt, textured flats, and a cloche hat — then toss on a couple of bracelets and bold stud earrings to finish off your music-festival style.

Before making a stylish appearance at Sunglass Hut in Santa Monica to launch the Spring 2012 collection yesterday, Rachel Bilson chatted all things sunglasses with us. And although she told us her ultimate favorites are Ray-Ban Wayfarers, the actress-slash-style-guru opted to wear fresh white Chanel shades to the event. Keeping with the red-pant trend, Rachel wore a wide-leg Isabel Marant pair with ShoeMint Chloe platforms and an Elizabeth and James fox necklace. Her simple white tee and oversized black blazer allowed the pants to take center stage. What's great about Rachel's creation is that it will work everywhere from the office to a restaurant to a lounge, so if you love it as much as we do, shop the pieces below.

As The Hunger Games release edges ever closer, we have the ensemble cast's red carpet — or in this case, black carpet — style to tide us over. Last night's star-studded Los Angeles premiere amped up our excitement factor tenfold, much in part to the insanely gorgeous fashion showcased. Needless to say, capitol couture and district chic were at an all-time high. Jennifer Lawrence donned a gilded and customized Prabal Gurung cutout gown from his Fall '12 collection, Elizabeth Banks channeled Effie's quirk in a futuristic orange Atelier Versace mini, and Miley Cyrus opted for an embellished Emilio Pucci crop-top-and-maxi-skirt combo for starters. From there, we spotted Shailene Woodley in Honor, Leven Rambin in Chagoury Couture, and more.

10 Pieces That Will Take You From Winter to Spring

Lucky magazine is one of our favorite sources for great shopping tips.

Lucky magazine is one of our favorite sources for great shopping tips. We're thrilled to share this fabulous story on the best transitional pieces from our friends at Lucky!

Daylight Savings Time just happened and, also like clockwork, I'm suddenly repulsed by boots, sweaters and knit hats. Instead, I want leather sandals, tiny shorts, crepe-thin dresses or anything that whispers "wear me on spring break".

Of course, this is partially (largely?) because I want it to be warm enough to wear those things. It's stupid to hope that buying summer clothes will spark the weather to match my new wardrobe, but I do it anyway. But since it doesn't really work like that, maybe I should invest in some more transitional pieces instead.
