Based on the novel by Jeffrey Eugenides, The Virgin Suicides is the sleepy portrayal of the five Lisbon sisters and their mysterious suicides, set in a 1970s Detroit suburb. While the subject matter is melancholic, it's hard to ignore the soft, feminine fashion. The film's dreamlike aesthetic and moody tone showcased lots of gauzy, retro-romantic babydoll dresses and ruffled tops, flat leather wedges, and girly, '70s-style eyelet and lace. Shop our picks below to crib the Lisbon sisters' easy, innocent style for Spring.

Today we've styled a denim wide-leg pant, a maxi trouser, and a loose, cropped version, so there's something for everyone. Whether you want a '70s boho vibe or a laid-back look, the great thing about these trousers is that you can wear them so many different ways. Watch to see how we styled the season's new relaxed pant!

Fashion Week's penultimate day was a restatement — and in some ways a restructuring — of the trends we've seen all week. New, softer iterations of textured, ratted hair, dramatic eye color, and braiding came down the runway, with a little naturalism to balance things out. It was one of the week's most wearable days, so check out our picks and see which looks you'd be excited to try for yourself.
At the Nanette Lepore Fall 2011 show at New York Fashion Week, a heavy dose of grays and blacks prevailed, though some beautiful hints of blue did make their way into the collection. I've rounded up some home decor pairings for a few of the ensembles. While you may not be able to walk down the runway, you can make one of these pieces a center stage item in your home.
