Jessica Stam stepped out for Tommy Hilfiger's Prep World launch party, dressed the part in head-to-toe Summer whites. We love her spin on the classics, and how a shorter hemline on her pretty pleats ($138) makes the look feel youthful and fresh. A light trench and a pop of color on her Tommy Hilfiger bowler bag ($198) pull it all together. Click the pieces above to shop a similar look.

Following on the heels of Gisele's boyish Vogue China spread, Kate Moss offers another way to wear menswear. Hers is a 'laxed take on classic menswear styling; just be sure to choose fitted separates, like a vest ($30, originally $38) and blazer. Then finish with a pair of femme, oversize shades ($65, originally $79) and a couple of well-placed jewels. Click the items above to shop a similar style.

If you want to get a jump-start on Spring, consider swooping up the jacket of the season: the anorak. Like, now. I would suggest either khaki, olive, or the classic black anorak. Utilitarian at its best. Kylie Minogue layered hers with all-black and liquid leggings. She looks urban, yet approachable. Can you say perfect transition piece?

Trappers — originally invented in the late 1800s for hunters — are a fashion savior to us modern-day urban dwellers. When it's cold outside, these hats, specifically designed to protect the neck and ears, will keep us warm and cozy during cold commutes and holiday shopping sprees. I suggest channeling your own Winter huntress vibe in this Shopbop Basic Faux Fur Trapper ($98). I always thought Elmer Fudd was a cutie . . .

Even though you're all grown up, memories of gramps remain strong. He's been around the block, and doesn't like to shop, therefore he's a tough present candidate. Here's where you can come to his rescue with fresh new, manly cozies — things like slippers, sweaters, belts, and socks. These all may sound generic, but they're classics that, when picked out by you, are anything but boring.

Americans like classics from cars to appliances and even in their fashion so it's always interesting to us to see what great American brands have the loyalties of shoppers. According to BrandKeys who styles themselves as the world leader in consumer loyalty metrics the brands that have captured our hearts and pocket books are in fact purveyors of great fashion classics. The top four brands in their 2008
Customer Loyalty Engagement Index are:
1. L.L. Bean
2. J. Crew
3. Eddie Bauer/Land's End (tie)
4. Sears
We couldn't agree more actually as L.L Bean's duck boots, Eddie Bauer's goofy sweaters, Land's Ends canvas totes, J.Crew's colorful cardigans and yes Sear's stylish appliances are all fashionable classics to which even the most chic remain loyal. In fact our household owns all of these items.
Our new favorite street style photographer, Garance Dore, captured this equestrian-inspired look, and we thought it called for a shopping spread. A black hat, wool blazer, colorful scarf, and black t-shirt are pieces that, if you don't own already, you probably won't regret investing in. In fact, putting them all together might be your only task. If you should need to fill in some gaps, our picks above.
Some moms try their hardest to have their baby's accessories fit in with their furnishings. The bright-colored plastic of the most well-known baby brands doesn't always complement their aesthetic. When a tot reaches the six-month mark and begins eating solid food, parents looking to blend their child's seating in with their own may turn to wooden high chairs to create a uniform look. These more traditional-looking chairs won't set you back a month's rent.
Simple: The Eddie Bauer Wooden Highchair ($120) is available in two wood finishes and features an adjustable tray table, rubber grips to keep it in place, and a three-point harness.
Swank: The Van Beek Kids Peek A Boost Chair ($350) is made of solid birch, boasts a five-point harness, and comes with a removable phthalate-free plastic tray. $50 from the sale of each chair is donated to one of eight charities benefiting victims of abuse and women and children in need.
