Shopping: Body-con Skirts In Bright Colors

What is summer clothing good for but a healthy dose of optimism?

What is summer clothing good for but a healthy dose of optimism? We love these bright body-con skirts for summer because they take Victoria Beckham-like seriousness out of the look. Pair these with flat sandals and a basic cotton tank and you'll be the farthest thing from pouty, though still chic.

Meanwhile In Current Season: Stella McCartney And A Topshop Lookalike

Seems Topshop has jumped on the paneled body con bandwagon with a series of skirts that remind us of the Stella McCartney Spring 2009 rendering.

Seems Topshop has jumped on the paneled body con bandwagon with a series of skirts that remind us of the Stella McCartney Spring 2009 rendering. Surely there's a quality difference here but we're happy that chicsters shopping at both price points can enjoy the look. On another note, seeing the color discrepancy between runway and Net-a-Porter reminds us--no matter how much we love e-commerce--that color can't be trusted.

Celebrity Style: Diane Kruger

Ever since I got back from Thailand I have been re-obsessed with the color turquoise.

Ever since I got back from Thailand I have been re-obsessed with the color turquoise. I'm a Sagittarius and it's supposed to be my power color. I can live with that! So imagine my delight when Diane showed up at an art party in NYC wearing a bodycon color swirl Alexander Wang dress — black and turquoise never looked so good. With a stunner like this, all you need is some sheer hose and cool pointy black suede pumps. Oh, and a Chanel bag.

Spring 2009 Deliveries: Bad Girl Frocks

As caught up as we might be with the Fall 2009 season, we can't help but notice all of the best Spring 2009 pieces appearing online.

As caught up as we might be with the Fall 2009 season, we can't help but notice all of the best Spring 2009 pieces appearing online. Particularly noticeable are the bad girl frocks that appeared on the Spring catwalks by way of transparency, cut-out details, and body-con silhouettes. Judging by the House of Holland number M.I.A. wore to the Grammy's this weekend, and the $12,000 dollar white Balmain frock which is already sold out on Net-a-Porter--we're pretty sure we're not alone in our love for this trend.

Designer Spotlight

Designer Spotlight: Metalicus

Any brand whose name sounds like Metallica is all right with me!

Any brand whose name sounds like Metallica is all right with me! No, but seriously, Metalicus, founded by Australian designer Melma Hamersfeld will bring a smile to the faces of girls who love layering and colors. In the early '90s, Melma started with her first round-neck stretch-top design, which has since evolved into a complete bodywear collection that includes basic tees, cropped cardigans, dresses, tights, and more. The brand is widely recognized in Australia and New Zealand but was recently launched in the US market as well. Let's welcome it with open arms!
