Trend Alert: Khaki on Khaki

At first read, khaki on khaki might remind you of your days as a girl scout, but hear me out.

At first read, khaki on khaki might remind you of your days as a girl scout, but hear me out. With the sleek utilitarian look in full tilt this season, it's only natural for the trend to rub off on its lighter sister. Take inspiration from Elle Macpherson's slick 'fit and do it right via cropped pants and a slightly darker top. Or, pair a flirty short skirt with a cute button-up for a quick summertime ensemble. Most importantly, don't forget to accessorize with funky accessories.

Trend Alert: Tenacious Tribal Prints

Spring is the perfect time to show off tenacious tribal prints.
Diane von Furstenberg at ShopStyle

Spring is the perfect time to show off tenacious tribal prints. These bold patterns — we especially love the African-inspired prints — emote major artsy-cum-funky appeal. Unlike Aztec techno motifs, tribal prints boast richer hues such as red, green, yellow, and brown. We can't stop staring at this amazing Diane von Furstenberg African Sugar-Print Canvas Bag ($1,400) — wowee.

While in NYC, Rihanna showed off new blond highlights and an even slicker 'fit. The singer kept things funky fresh donning a pair of Stella McCartney's perforated thigh-high boots with a funky hemlines sweater dress — check out that sweet petticoat. On the accessories front, Rihanna bedazzled herself with an abundance of mixed metals, chains, bracelets, and a slick ring. Work it.

I've been wanting to host a Michael Jackson dance-off for a while now. What better way to pay tribute to the iconic pop star than to gather 'round some friends and dance the night away to his hot hits? I admit, I can't do the moonwalk, but I can do a mean shuffle. I asked you to imagine a super bad ensemble for such an occasion. Were you up to the challenge?

I started you off with this Maison Michel Felt Hat ($330) because it's totally rad. Let's take a look at what you conjured up!


Look #1, created by maria212134, is Michael Jackson defined; the band jacket is c-ute.

My expecting friend hosted a girls-only slumber party a couple weeks ago. Once the baby arrives, she'll be swamped so she wanted to spend some good ol' girl time before her delivery. We had so much fun watching movies and gabbing the night away! I asked you to help me put together a cute cozy outfit I can hang out and sleep in.

I started you off with this Tilly's Splatter Headband Set ($5) because it kept my hair away from my face during the pillow fights. Let's see the top three looks!

Look #1, created by hil34, looks super comfy — thanks for remembering the slippers.

March Shopping Madness! Country Cutie

I'm a city gal but that won't stop me from looking like a country cutie.

I'm a city gal but that won't stop me from looking like a country cutie. To fake this Midwest vibe, dig around for soft, floral prints and muted colors. Smaller florals — like VS model Behati Prinsloo's Victoria's Secret Pink corset floral dress — deliver the best country girl illusion. If dresses aren't your thing, pair a smocked top with some cut-off jean shorts for a more casual look.

Here's the most important part to getting this right: take another glance at the South African beauty. Did you notice how she paired her dress with kickass Alex Wang heels? That's how you do it. Contrast all of that country softness with a tough piece to give it a modern touch.
