For Fall 2011, Derek Lam paired up with eBay to create a line of 16 easy-to-wear dresses which he presented at Lincoln Center during New York Fashion Week earlier this year. After the presentation, consumers were invited to vote for their favorite pieces, and now the five most popular styles — the black poplin evening dress and shift, the floral print dress in maxi and midi silhouettes, and the indigo denim sun dress — are being sold on eBay.com in the wallet-friendly price range of $125-$295. We’d opt for the black sheath dress — who doesn’t need another LBD? Be sure to check out the whole collection to shop your favorite style!

A Fresh Date-Night Look: Smoky Eyes and Red Lipstick
Is Robert Palmer having an effect on fashion runways? Both Temperley and Stephen Burrows featured bright red lipstick — and what's more, this matte hue flatters a range of skin tones. Temperley's models, at left, sported a smoky purple eye along with Revlon Just Bitten lip stain ($9) and Revlon matte lipstick in Really Red ($8). Stephen Burrows's look featured gray shadow on the eyes, using Iman lipstick in Red Luxury ($9) to bring attention to lips. Might as well face it: it's a new look to love.

Combining Runway Trends: The Boho Band Braid and Teased Hair

Two of this Fashion Week's most prominent hair trends were fancy bohemian-style braids and teased, high-texture hair, appearing at Rachel Roy and Tracy Reese (among other shows). I like both looks but wanted to combine them into something simpler to do and more wearable for the office. So I kept the braid's center part, but instead of doing a time-consuming wraparound, I just did two smaller band braids from the center. Then, I teased up the back of my hair with an Rsession Tools teasing comb ($13). What do you think? Is it a workable fusion of the two big trends, or do you think I should come up with a different way to put them together?
Proenza Schouler Runway Fall 2011 New York Fashion Week
For Proenza Schouler's Fall 2011 runway show, designers Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez continued in the vein of their pre-Fall American Southwest-inspired collection and churned out slouchy jacquard pants, asymmetric peplum jackets, and slender sheath dresses all in a modern, geometric tribal motif.
