Cheap & Chic: Flashy Pink Mini

I've long loved the combination of black and pink, so when I saw Taylor Momsen at the Topshop US opening party, my eyes widened.

I've long loved the combination of black and pink, so when I saw Taylor Momsen at the Topshop US opening party, my eyes widened. Let's recognize that if it weren't for her hot pink tiered miniskirt, her look wouldn't be as captivating. It lends femininity to her tough leather motorcycle jacket but maintains the spunky vibe. Hot pink lipstick adds further kick. Get in on the flashy pink fun with your very own miniskirt.

Trend Alert: Mini Minis

Raise your hand if you think Gwyneth's sequin Proenza Schouler tee is too short on the July cover of Bazaar?

Raise your hand if you think Gwyneth's sequin Proenza Schouler tee is too short on the July cover of Bazaar? Considering it is a t-shirt, and not a dress, or a tunic, I think it's a wee short. (Do I see a shadow of cheek?) But Gwyneth's legs are flawless, as she flaunted on her Iron Man tour, so she can get away with it. But can you? A few words of advice: If you dare to don a mini mini wear simple nude or black boyshort underwear — I swear by these — make sure you are bikini waxed and beware of wind!

Style for Style: How To Wear...Mini Skirts

We girls need to be careful when it comes to wearing mini skirts.

We girls need to be careful when it comes to wearing mini skirts. Actually, in general we need to be careful when wearing any item of clothing that reveals a large part of our body. I cringe when I see girls wearing mini skirts wrong; a mini can be classy when worn correctly. Here are some tips to look cool in a mini:

  • Rule of thumb: keep it sleek by counteracting its inherent sexiness with some not quite as sexy items
  • On top, choose something more tame than a skintight tank or revealing blouse - wear a frilly blouse or a loose cami with a cool blazer.
  • Footwear should be minimal. I love minis with flats but if you need some height keep the heels chunky, as seen here at Derek Lam's Spring/Summer collection.
  • As for Fall footwear, same rule applies, and whether you wear a mini with tights or not, a flat knee boot or wedge boots are the perfect accompaniment.
