Trend Alert: Zippy Tops

If zippered jeans or shoes weren't your flavor, give zippy tops a try.

If zippered jeans or shoes weren't your flavor, give zippy tops a try. The way I see it, zippered tops — a la tanks, tees, tunics — are a low-commitment, high-style risk. There are tons of affordable options for you to experiment with and major fashion points to be earned. Ashley Greene rocked a print version with high-waisted MiH jeans and a Gucci bag for a radically '70s look while walking the streets in LA. I kinda love it.

Simply Fab: Kors Michael Kors Multi Zip Boot

There's good news and bad news.
Michael Kors at ShopStyle

There's good news and bad news. The good news: There's no boot dress code this Fall. It's pretty much anything goes in terms of heel height, over-the-knee, bootie — you name it, it's totally wearable. The bad news: this could lead to some manic dressing — crazily changing footwear at least 10 times before getting out the door.

The ever-practical Michael Kors has a solution. These Kors by Michael Kors Multi Zip Boots ($891) playfully combine function and fashion. Essentially, four boots in one. You're still paying a lot per pair, but let's not forget the price of cool — the ability to unzip (four times) to a whole new look just might make these worth the price tag.

Look of the Day: Maximum Impact

Sometimes, you don't need a lot to make a statement.

Sometimes, you don't need a lot to make a statement. That's why I like VintageBabe's modern outfit. Her streamlined khaki dress has only one focal point: the wraparound zipper. This detailing might be minimal, but it gives her maximum impact.

Here's what she has on:

Dress: Sfera
Blazer: Atmosphere
Tights: Cubus
Booties: Unknown

Congrats to VintageBabe!

Everyone else, join the Look of the Day group, then submit your looks. I might feature you on FabSugar!

Look of the Day: Zip It Real Good

The exposed-zipper craze is still going strong, as exemplified by chicandcool.

The exposed-zipper craze is still going strong, as exemplified by chicandcool. Her dress reminds me of the Phillip Lim recycled zipper dress Kate Bosworth wore. Her red clutch and patent pumps up the sassy factor. Simple yet snazzy. Zip it . . . zip it real good!

Here's what she's wearing:
Dress: Pink
Shoes: Shoebox
Clutch: Mango

Congrats to chicandcool!

Who Wore It Better? Phillip Lim Recycled Zipper Dress

Remember the Phillip Lim recycled zipper dress Kate Bosworth wore at the Gorgeous and Green event when I spoke with her?

Remember the Phillip Lim recycled zipper dress Kate Bosworth wore at the Gorgeous and Green event when I spoke with her? It was absolutely stunning in person. Looks like Becki Newton agrees. The actress wore the same dress to a party in NYC yesterday. Both blondes wore pointy black pumps and kept themselves free of gaudy jewels. But, it appears that Becki's shoes are suede, while Kate's are leather. Who do you think looks better in Phillip Lim's recycled zipper dress?

I started you off with these Newport News Rose Flats ($29, originally $39) because they simply caught my eye. Let's see what you all came up with!



Look #1, created by klynnmorton, is comfy but filled with pizazz. Nice gold jewels.
