Shop These Cool Plaid Picks All Under $150

Chi Diem Chau — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 03:30:00 PDT

Plaid is clearly having a moment this Fall with looks seen on the runway from designers like Adam Lippes, seen below, Thakoon, Rag & Bone, and LAMB. This pattern has old-school nostalgia written all over it with the latest silhouettes ranging from '50s-inspired pencil skirts to '90s-like blazers. What's your flavor? Check out our styling tips below on how to wear the plaid trend, and then shop our budget-friendly picks priced all under $150.

Take cue from Adam's Fall runway and pair a plaid pencil skirt with a lace blouse for a ladylike, office-appropriate ensemble.
We love the idea of wearing a plaid blazer with a button-up top and skinny jeans; chic and casual.
If you want to add a little grunge to your look, style a plaid shirt or poncho with leather leggings and moto boots.

ADAM Spring 2012

Chi Diem Chau — Sat, 10 Sep 2011 18:05:22 PDT

We always look forward to what Adam Lippes brings to the table, and his Spring 2012 collection didn't disappoint. Inspired by the West Chelsea neighborhood (where his design studio is located), Adam showed us a youthful and polished collection complete with sheer trench dresses, hot pink pants, and even refined railroad denim. The oversized peony and polka-dot prints were the standout looks, splashed on tailored pantsuits and cute drop-waist dresses. Longer, louche shorts - remember culottes? - were also a key look in the collection seen in linen and silk variations. Railroad denim also received a chic overhaul via sweet pencil skirts, shift dresses, and structured tops. Read more highlights below.

Trends: Drop-waist dresses, sheer tops, louche pajama pantsuits, culottes, whimsical prints.

Colors: Pink, purple, black, light gray, denim.

Key Look: The drop-waist polka-dot dresses and the floral print pieces.

Accessories: Manolo Blahnik patent crisscross sandals and oversized sunglasses.

Who Would Wear It: Women who have effortless, feminine style like Michelle Obama.

Celeb Trend: Styling Out Knotted Tops For Summer

Hannah Weil — Fri, 27 May 2011 11:00:18 PDT

It's not exactly the way we wore our knotted tops in the '90s, but the easy-chic, slightly undone feel that comes with that tied top is back. We love the nonchalance of a knotted top with high-waist denim, or over our favorite printed sundresses like we've seen on celebrities. That said, we're taking styling notes from these lovely ladies. From AnnaLynne McCord's '70s-style take to Kristin Cavallari's breezy elegance, click through for a celebrity-inspired tutorial in outfitting your knotted tops for Summer.
