Rain or shine, nothing says polished like a classic trench coat. POPSUGAR Fashion community member Jackie Giardina sported a sleek and sophisticated look with this end-of-Spring outfit. A simple black dress jacketed with a classic tan trench coat is chic, but those strappy black statement sandals added an instant coolness. A chunky bracelet and ring were just the right the right kind of glitz, and a large black tote and oversize sunglasses were the perfect complements to the clean-cut look.
Congrats, Jackie Giardina!

Community member Mes Voyages à Paris has perfected the art of cool with this chic bohemian look. A not-so-simple white blouse with fun lace cutouts is hip and feminine, while a layered white tulle skirt adds some chic flounce to the mix. An oversize gold ornamental necklace and white round sunglasses make this Bohemian ensemble a bit groovier. The icing on this frilly cake is a simple but cool vintage brown bag.
Congrats, Mes Voyages à Paris!

Selfies: we've all done them (don't lie, we saw it on your Instagram!), but how do you master the art of taking a good self-portrait? Our reporters Matthew Rodrigues and Allison McNamara are laying down the ground rules for success. There's a lot to think about: How's my background? Does this selfie have good lighting and a purpose? Watch on and keep these helpful tips in mind next time you solo "smize" to the camera. And after you watch, snap your best selfie and share it with us using our hashtag #popselfie.
POPSUGAR Fashion community member NewbornFanatic proved that cowboy boots can truly be "anytime" boots with this funky Western look. The bold grunge t-shirt made the outfit a little less ranch and a little more rock 'n' roll, while its tucked-in styling and a skinny brown belt added a bit of polish. The beige skirt's layered tassels supplied the texture and playfulness to this Western look. Finish it off with a pair of classic brown cowboy boots, and you're set to go.
Congrats, NewbornFanatic!

In 2012, we crowned Jessica Alba our street-style queen, and while it's only April, the actress has continued her impressive outfit streak tenfold in 2013. How? She has nailed the art of styling denim (colored, printed, and otherwise), cool-girl knits, and standout accessories in a way that's both accessible and aspirational. Most recently, Alba stepped up Spring basics with mixed-print separates in Santa Monica, worked a denim-on-denim look with a trendy twist, and proved the power of a statement coat with a printed Kenzo version. Click on for the brunette beauty's best street-style looks just from 2013 alone, in an ode we like to call "Jessica Alba: Eclipsing Average Style on a Daily Basis."
If you're looking for new ways to rev up an old (or new) Summer dress, then take note! Community member I Heart Vintage Couture paired a bright coral-toned Summer dress with a simple brown belt and similarly colored wedge sandals. A few bracelets and some oversize sunglasses later — et voilà! — a casual Summer dress becomes a head-to-toe cute and stylishly seasonal ensemble. Now that's what we call accessorizing.
Congrats, I Heart Vintage Couture!

If you've ever equated simple outfits with boring ones, consider this ensemble a little bit of a wake-up call. Community member StyleCueSuzieQ stayed bright for springtime in a gray t-shirt and white blazer. Light distressed denim echoed the tone of her white jacket while cleverly dressing down her tailored piece. A white trimmed canvas bag — another warm-weather staple — and nude pumps are all she needs to finish her effortless look with added polish and sophistication.
Congrats, StyleCueSuzieQ!
