Take Emma Watson's LWD as a Reminder to Simplify Your Weekend Style

Hannah Weil — Fri, 17 May 2013 12:01:00 PDT

Our weekend motto to slow down and take it easy certainly applies to our wardrobes, too. Borrowing from Emma Watson's effortless travel style, we're putting that philosophy into practice with a figure-flattering, fit-and-flare white dress, like Emma's A.L.C. version, that's brunch- or even cocktail-appropriate with the right accompaniments (read: a great all-occasion investment piece). But for a low-key day, you don't have to add much - just stick to Emma's flirty-gone-tough-girl styling formula and add in ankle boots, your go-to shades, and a hands-free crossbody bag. Simple, right?

The quintessential sheath dress is the easiest way to getting out the door in one polished piece. Season after season, we rely on the ladylike silhouette as a staple in our closets - though, admittedly, we're partial to this season's lineup of fresh prints, silk finishes, and slightly more body-conscious cut. In fact, it's almost impossible to think of a place that we couldn't wear them. From the workweek to the weekend to dinners out and cocktail parties (and just about everything in between), these dresses are perfectly suited for almost anything in your itinerary. We've culled a few of the front-runners - aka the 14 reasons why you need a sheath dress in your closet right now. Start clicking to shop.

Rebecca Minkoff's Camera Bags Are Adorable - and Under $200!

Melody Nazarian — Thu, 11 Apr 2013 04:15:14 PDT

As far as Spring handbags go, Rebecca Minkoff's adorable camera bags come pretty close to perfect - and they're all under $200. With a range of cool colors to choose from - though we think mint and light blue would look especially fresh with your warm-weather wardrobe - and a handy crossbody style strap, they may just be one of the best little day bags on the market. Of course, they're not necessarily made to house your camera (though you can definitely throw yours in there, especially for music-festival season!). This is more like the kind of bag you want to take with you on all of your daytime jaunts - from errands to lunch with the girls - perfect for holding all the essentials, like your wallet, phone, keys, and maybe a lipstick. Though the lighter-hued styles scream daytime, there's nothing wrong with also putting them in rotation after dark. If you love Rebecca Minkoff's adorable camera bags as much as we do, then shop your favorite hue below.

Melody Nazarian — Sat, 06 Apr 2013 08:00:00 PDT

Rebecca Minkoff's eyelet dress is a big hit in Hollywood, and here's why. Hilary Rhoda, Ashley Tisdale, and Stacy Keibler have all worn the ladylike number for various press appearances. Rhoda's included a bright yellow colorblocked clutch and tan ankle-strap sandals, Tisdale donned hers with black multistrap pumps and hoop earrings, and Keibler accessorized with minimalistic nude ankle-strap sandals and silver hoop earrings. All three ladies looked undoubtedly polished in their Rebecca Minkoff dress - score it here ($468) - but only one can win this style battle. So, who's it going to be?

Gwyneth vs. Stacy - Who Gets Your Best-Dressed Vote?

Chi Diem Chau — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 08:11:00 PDT

Gwyneth Paltrow and Stacy Keibler came out to support Tracy Anderson's flagship opening last night looking as svelte as ever, a serious nod and testament to the Anderson Method. And for the occasion, both chose vibrant, skin-baring, body-hugging dresses. Paltrow wore a bright purple fit-and-flare Victoria Beckham minidress paired with colorblocked Michael Kors sandals, while Stacy went with a printed body-con Rebecca Minkoff dress, nude Giuseppe Zanotti sandals, and gold hoop earrings. No doubt, the two looked amazing, but whose outfit do you prefer - Gwyneth or Stacy?
