Have. Want. Need.
We've been advocating biker shorties for a while now. What can I say — I love the '90s. When I spied lots of them at New York Fashion Week my heart palpitated with excitement. Before you start judging, let me point out the way DKNY wore them: higher, subtle, colorful styles paired unexpectantly under tailored shorts and sleek jumpers. It just so happens, these are DKNY "Smoothies" — the Read more
For his Pre-Fall collection, Alexander Wang manifested a dope line of unique, wearable clothes. I kinda love the influx of sheer leggings but if that's not your style, there's mucho more to choose from. To help feed our cool-girl personas, the wunderkind designed lean, leather vests, tailored separates, perfectly draped tees, and a couple badass frocks – remember Rihanna in this one? I can Read more
Just because Gwyneth wears biker shorts doesn't mean I have to — or do I? If I were to don this '80s trend, I would go all-out with this Free People Junction City Biker Short ($28). I kinda like how the leather-like sheen gives this sporty look a dose of glam. I'm trying to picture it with a cute skirt or dress but Blossom keeps popping up in my head. I definitely wouldn't pair it Read more
I know Gwyneth Paltrow wears biker leggings when working out with pal Madonna, but I didn't know she also wears them out at night. Perhaps she took note from Prada's resort collection. During an evening out in London with friends Stella McCartney and Kate Hudson, Gwyn wore a flowy black skirt over biker shorts, a black blazer, a blingin' statement necklace, and Oxford loafers by Tod's. The Read more
Leather — faux or for real — is our Winter wardrobe's slick best friend. Come Spring, it becomes much trickier to wear these tanned pieces for an ultralight feel. Not to worry, just look to the Spring '12 runways for instant gratification. Phillip Lim sent models out in pastel-hued leather moto-inspired vests, while Thakoon opted for bolder solid tones set against structured pleated skirts Read more
For Fall 2012, Kanye West's sophomore collection showcased a darker, edgier mood, right down to the smudged kohl eyeliner and tough-girl knee-high boots. Further confirming what we think is one of Paris Fashion Week's most prevalent trends, the rapper-cum-designer sent out model after model in head-to-toe leather. From slick fit-and-flare skirts to ultracool biker jackets, the Fall '12 lineup was Read more
Instead of purchasing an expensive Halloween costume this year, we suggest you stretch out those DIY fingers and make your own. To help you get inspired, we teamed up with Holy Tee designer Michelle Zacks — purveyor of the most incredibly soft tees, skirts, and dresses you can imagine — to make our very own mummy costume out of, you guessed it, t-shirts. Not only was it super easy to put Read more
Richard Chai is known for his downtown cool aesthetic that always has a fresh, feminine spin, and for Spring 2012 the clothes had a distinctly preppy tone. The Richard Chai girl has an inner tomboy — he offered up crisp collared shirts with peekaboo shoulders, cotton blazers in bright orange, and floral biker shorts in response. Known for his layering prowess, some of the most interesting Read more
Jason Segel and Kermit the Frog made an appearance at D23 this morning at the Anaheim Convention Center to chat about The Muppets. The duo weren't joined by leading lady Amy Adams, though another of the film's female stars, Miss Piggy, did arrive shortly after Kermit and Jason took the stage. In typical spotlight-hogging fashion, Piggy was chauffeured to the Disney expo in the sidecar of a Read more
