Trend Alert: Funky Leopard Belts

We've been keeping a close eye on Emma Watson's Glastonbury looks.

We've been keeping a close eye on Emma Watson's Glastonbury looks. Last week, we swooned over her totally fresh Louis Vuitton corset, and this week shows off yet another statement piece. Her latest look comprised a femme ruffled top and savagely shredded denim shorties. Both classic concert-going staples, but notice how she accessorized with a funky leopard belt. This small detail speaks volumes against a clean palette and injects a subtle sexy vibe. Hermione no more — roar!

Brave Beltworks — A Little Soft, A Lot Tough

Leather lovahs, say hello to a leather accessories line that's sturdy in design, strong in convictions.

Leather lovahs, say hello to a leather accessories line that's sturdy in design, strong in convictions. Brave Beltworks is a Canadian brand whose products are all made in the country in safe, clean environment, ethical ways. Beyond that, their selection offers a little soft, and a whole lot of tough. For the softies, there's a dope Cork Belt Collection ($55) and Skinny Bow Belts ($60). For the toughies in the house, there's a sea of studded belts and cool-chick leather cuffs, seen below. There's even a bunch of dog collars for your tough-cookie pup. Did you hear that, Pet?

Trend Alert: Chain Detail Belts

Chains sure have lasting power.

Chains sure have lasting power. And Dania Ramirez reinstates the allure of chain detail belts. Designers are thinking of new, crafty ways to deliver the chain via waistwear. While Dania's subtly cinches her silky emerald dress, thicker versions can dramatize any simple item, while multimedia ones can serve as artsy focal points. I can't choose a favorite; they're all bitchin' belts.

Fab Finding Follow-Up: Outdoor Baby Shower

Last Sunday, I attended my good friend's (first!) baby shower.

Last Sunday, I attended my good friend's (first!) baby shower. The plan was to eat, play fun mother-to-be games, and open gifts. Since the festivities were held outside and the weatherman predicted partly cloudy skies, I needed you to help me put together a cute layered outfit.

I started you off with this Temperley London Mini Trapeze Belt ($325); I love the soft gold tone and Grecian influence. Let's see the results!


Look #1, created by maria212134, is incredibly delicate. The soft hues are lovely.

Miu Miu Jeweled Buckle Belt: Love It or Hate It?

Here's an unlikely story: something sparkly, blue, and Miu Miu, and I'm about to pooh-pooh.

Here's an unlikely story: something sparkly, blue, and Miu Miu, and I'm about to pooh-pooh. I came across this Miu Miu Jeweled Buckle Belt ($302) and thought it was just so . . . Claire's Boutique. I think it's the pastel blue hue that makes it borderline tacky. Is that way harsh, Tai?

Trend Alert: Equestrian Belts

Let me tell you why Mary-Kate Olsen is so unapologetically amazing.

Let me tell you why Mary-Kate Olsen is so unapologetically amazing. While out with her sis for an interview with Good Morning America, she dressed up her double-breasted pea coat with a sharp equestrian belt. It's simple, but the sleek cut makes all the difference in the fashion world. Notice how she complemented it with a wooly texture and dark hue for maximum contrast. You better believe I'm trying out this trend — stat.
