Hannah Weil — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 09:53:50 PDT

We already knew Jessica Alba had a thing for brights - but every time she steps out in new look, she supplies fresh fashion fodder to inspire our own Spring-ready style. The latest is a bold mix of multi-colored stripes and berry-red Alice + Olivia skinnies that works thanks to laid-back add-ons and easy proportions. Because the palette speaks for itself, Jessica steers clear of any over-the-top accessories; black ankle boots temper the color play, while a pair of wayfarers finish with the essential cool-girl vibe. If there's one lesson to be learned here it's this: don't fear the color wheel. Shop our key pieces to channel Jessica's brilliant Spring hues.

Chi Diem Chau — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 13:40:08 PDT

There's nothing quite like a "secret garden party" to break up the slew of runways and presentations during fashion week. That's exactly what Alice + Olivia's Stacey Bendet created yesterday with her party meets presentation, complete with floral-wrapped trellises, birdcages - and the cute Spring clothes to go with it. The collection was a mix of two eras, showing '60s-inspired vibrant floral print palazzo pants, bold striped flared trousers, draped jumpsuits, and a sweet array of mod dresses. Meanwhile, pretty sequined dresses - we especially loved the black and white striped rendition - nodded to Bendet's signature '40s flair. Now just who do we predict is expected to wear this collection? With celebs like Kourtney Kardashian, LeAnn Rimes, Eva Amurri, and beautiful singer Corinne Bailey Rae in full attendance, we have no doubt some these pieces will be swooped up soon. Check out more details from Alice + Olivia's sweet botanical-themed soiree below.

Trends: Printed trousers, palazzo pants, daytime sequins.

Colors: White, yellow, red, mint green.

Key Look: The black and white sequin striped dress showed gorgeous detailing.

Lace is one of Fall's dominant trends, and the lacy confections coming down the runways at Elie Saab, Dolce & Gabbana, and Jason Wu felt simultaneously sweet and sexy. It's a call to ladylike dressing, albeit with a sultry undertone. That's what we love about lace; it speaks to femininity in two ways and makes us feel both prim and hot. With that in mind, we've rounded up 15 of our favorite lace dresses that hit all the style qualifications we're after. Some hint at that girlier sensibility with pink lace and full skirts, others to our sexier side in black body-conscious lace.
