15 Covetable Striped Finds Under $100

Hannah Weil — Thu, 13 Oct 2011 12:00:32 PDT

If you were to take inventory of our closets, we can bet you'd find a good amount of striped tees and sweaters. And why not? Our soft spot for stripes is well-justified; the classic pattern goes with practically anything, providing cool clean lines, or funkier contrasts to your looks - depending on how it's done. For Fall, we're drawn to the preppier, collegiate feel they lend on cozy sweaters and long sleeves, though we love it when they take on a more unexpected identity on a pair of silky trousers or an elegant clutch. Whether you share our obsession or you're new to the game, we guarantee you'll find something to strike your interest from this batch of covetable striped finds - including a hearty helping of stripey knits just begging to be worn through Autumn and Winter. Click through to shop some of our favorite striped finds, all perfectly priced under $100.

The beach BBQ is practically a Summer ritual, and while we've been year after year, sometimes we're still left wondering what to wear. The key to dressing for any beachy party is functional footwear - stilettos have no place in the sand - a cute hat, and a great pair of shades. Overall, the look should be simple, not super-styled, with room to stash your suit. With that in mind, we've got five fresh looks to get you outfitted for all of your seasonal beach parties.

These Nautical-Chic Striped Dresses Make Us Want to Set Sail

Brittney Stephens — Fri, 01 Apr 2011 03:34:39 PDT

Just when we thought we couldn't get enough of the striped-tee trend, three stylish celebs showed their stripes in nautical-inspired dresses. Alexa Chung styled hers with black tights and a chic trench during London Fashion Week, Sarah Paulson donned a thicker, slouchier stripe at last month's Independent Spirit Awards, and newly coiffed Brooklyn Decker paired her fitted French Connection frock ($84) with ballet flats and a black tote. Each lady puts her own spin on the piece and proves that an LSD - little striped dress - can make for a simple, flattering, and totally classic look. Check out the pieces below - and get shopping!

Workout Style: Colorblocking

FitSugar — Tue, 29 Mar 2011 15:10:42 PDT

Spring is here, which means it's time to liven up those dark and drab workout wardrobes even if it's still rainy. Two of the biggest trends this year are nude hues and colorblocking. From fashion to home decor, bright color combinations are everywhere you look. Whether you are working up a major sweat sesh or running errands, you will certainly stand out in an illuminating ensemble like this one. We combined neons - fabulous fuchsia, vivid yellow, and electric blue - to get this fab look, but there are many ways to work the trend. Show us your favorite way to colorblock your fitness gear.

American Apparel Accuser Kimbra Lo Has Modeling Tips, Is an Actual Model

Miriam Lacey — Mon, 28 Mar 2011 12:48:02 PDT

Model Kimbra Lo is getting all kinds of press on the heels of filing a sexual harassment suit against her former employer, American Apparel CEO Dov Charney. Saucy (read: NSFW) photos from the day Charney allegedly assaulted Lo are circulating, and some are suggesting that they prove that all Charney's advances were met with consent. (How posing for nude photos means consenting to have sex, we're not sure.)

However people are trying to portray Lo, she actually does have a history as a professional model, and even created this modeling tip video for Seattle Fashion TV in 2009. Her advice is pretty standard but suggests that she has legitimate modeling aspirations. Perhaps her "session" with Charney was supposed to be purely work-related, as she claims. To see the clip for yourself, just keep reading.
