Trend Alert: Ladylike Goes Cool

I know your sweatshirts and pencil skirts don't mingle much, but maybe they should.

I know your sweatshirts and pencil skirts don't mingle much, but maybe they should. At least that's what I'm thinking since Rachel Roy's ladylike goes cool combo caught my eye. While your pencil skirt lends femme sophistication, your slouchy sweatshirt top is totally effortless; when they meet, it's dressed-down chic at its best. Don't complicate things, feel free to play with textures and prints, just avoid bulky sweatshirts with too much length or width — extra cool points if you opt for a leather pencil.

Celebrity Style: Charlize Theron

I've been looking for good examples of transitional outfits, and leave it to Charlize to give us one.

I've been looking for good examples of transitional outfits, and leave it to Charlize to give us one. If you still want to show off your tan gams come Fall, layers are the answer. This look manages to be both cozy and collected. Sometimes the idea of throwing things on and cinching it all together with smart accessories just works. Charlize's choice of earthy hues does no wrong, either.

Online Sale Alert! Bargains at Barneys

I don't have to tell you that when there's a sale at Barneys, it's best to just take a look.

I don't have to tell you that when there's a sale at Barneys, it's best to just take a look. I mean, how can you not not look?! I looked and found this Vena Cava Pandora Skirt in Pearl ($79, originally $298). How sultry would it be with a silk black tank and metallic sandals? But, for the better of my pocketbook, it's only available in a size 10. While there are many Barneys bargains, just keep an eye on the sizes, they are unpredictable. But still, have a lookie . . .

Celebrity Style: Hayden Panettiere

What a lovely little lady Hayden Panettiere has become!

What a lovely little lady Hayden Panettiere has become! While most other stars showed up to Z100's Annual Jingle Ball in casual gear, the petite actress stepped it up a notch in a dramatic white ruffle blouse and black pencil skirt. Some may say she's a tad overdressed for the occasion, but I say more power to her. . . . this is how fashionistas ought to differentiate themselves from the masses.

Exciting news: Banana Republic just started their Fall Sale!

Exciting news: Banana Republic just started their Fall Sale! What perfect timing, since Fall weather seems to be hitting everywhere, and I could use a few warmer additions to my wardrobe. They have plenty of options to keep me nice and cozy in cooler temperatures: cute little jackets, wool pants, silk scarves, sweaters, and pumps.

How amazing would this Plaid lightweight wool double-vent skirt, $50 (originally $88), be with a great pair of dark tights and sexy booties? The cut is very lady-like, the wool will keep you snuggly, and the cut makes it perfect for either work or a sophisticated night out. I'll take it!

I would pencil her in anyday after seeing luvpizaman in this fantastic pencil skirt-driven getup! The black top on dark denim combo looks really nice, very flattering, and I like how she broke up the dark on dark with the skinny white belt. For a little pizazz, the patent pumps were a great touch!

Here's what she's wearing:

  • Top: Banana Republic
  • Skirt: The Limited
  • Shoes: Exchange by Charles David
