T bags

Jessica Alba headed into an NYC taxi looking funky chic in a pair of T-Bags cropped printed satin pants ($145). The actress is no stranger to bold bottoms — hello, colored-denim obsession! — but we appreciate that she added a bit of abstract print to her repertoire. Up top she sported a gray scoop-neck t-shirt with a black crossbody bag and blue sunglasses, and on bottom she wore ankle-strap sandals with a chunky square heel. Score Jessica's exact printed bottoms to wear with a casual tee for a daytime activity, then dress them up at night with a black tube top and high-heeled sandals.

We all have that one warm-weather frock that we can't stop loving. And when Winter rolls around, we're forced to painfully neglect it until we can once again rekindle our fashion bond in the Summer. Right? Wrong. We urge you to take any of your colorful frocks — like the fabulous T-bags zigzag dress Jenna Dewan recently wore in LA — and winterize it via tights, a tan blazer, boots, and a scarf. Jenna was lucky enough to wear her dress with sandals, thanks to the sunny climate in LA, but if you're not so lucky, consider winterizing your favorite Summer frocks right now. Then when June rolls around, start shedding the layers to enjoy a less hefty ensemble.

Trust Mad Men's Christina Hendricks to sport a throwback-inspired trend. Her retro rose dress is spot-on vintage glam. Sure, it's a bold print, but that's the way it's made to be worn — the '50s femme never makes apologies for her ladylike print, or her curves. Now, it's your turn: sport the style with the same flirty florals, and if it's chilly out, add tights and booties for a modern edge.

Last night, we spotted Whitney Port at Coachella looking festively funky in a pair of tribal print shorts by PH8, a loose Joe's Jeans printed tee, and mortal combat booties. It's comfy and we love the print mash-up. A small chain bag, a macho watch, and colorful glo-anklets complete her perfect concert ensemb. Try out a similar look for your next Summer festival!

Be sure to see what H&M had to say about Coachella too, if it weren't for them we wouldn't have had such a bitchin' time!

Must . . . fight . . . post-holiday depression. I tend to grab cozies and neutrals after a month of decadent nibbles, sequins, and party gear. But Jennifer Lopez is a believer in the healing power of bolder than bold geo dresses. Though the holidays are over, party time isn't — I already have some cool parties lined up in January, and awards season is upon us. And nothing perks the party up like a standout print. Jennifer's draped Mara Hoffman encompasses Winter colors, and the longer sleeves remind us it's still hibernation time. Hibernating never looked so hot. Come Spring, shed the tights, and these will shine just as bright.

Here's a fun post frugalfashion22 shared in The Frugal Fashionista group.

It’s holiday time and you know what that means: shopping for party dresses. This season I decided I want to show a little skin. What better way to do it than with an off-the-shoulder cocktail dress? I’ve found three show-stoppers all for $100 or less! This dress from T-Bags is sure to make a statement at your party. Made of a stunning gold jacquard fabric, it features a large asymmetrical bow across the bust area. The bubble skirt and empire waist will give you an instant sexy hourglass silhouette. And you won't believe the price — originally $335, it’s now 70% off, and yours for $100. Find it at theoutnet.com.

Last weekend, I headed to the exclusive King Tut exhibit at the de Young Museum here in SF — so exciting. I saw Tutankhamun's tomb, ancient artifacts, and precious objects relating to the 18th dynasty. Cool, huh? My educational self-immersion took a whole day, so I needed you to put together a sleek ensemble that would withstand a lot of walking and staring.

I started you off with these Giles & Brother Tiny Pyramid Stud Earrings ($78) because they're an ode to beautiful, ancient Egypt. Let's see what you came up with!

Look #1, created by chloe bella, complements the theme. That snake bracelet is slithery slick.

Splish splash — I attended a super-fun pool party last weekend. Finding a splashy outfit is simple but the twist(er) was my parents were also in attendance. That's why I needed you to help me find a cute ensemble that wouldn't offend the elders. Don't get me wrong, the 'rents are cool, but there was no need to have my goodies hanging out amongst friends and fams. I started you off with this rad Free People Tie-Dye Beach Tote ($98); I adore the wavy print and extra-large shape.

Let's see my favorite looks!

Look #1, created by barbiesugar, incorporates cool colors; I also love the raffia fedora.
