15 Ways to Add Whimsy to Your Wardrobe
Whimsical, playful, comical, eccentric — all ways to describe giving into fanciful notions. Polka dots, bows, sequins, animals, and ruffles are all ways to amuse yourself. I have been in a whimsical fashion mood lately — perhaps Louis Vuitton's bunny ears, coupled with Mary-Kate and Ashley's lace ears, spawned it.
I Want This Wardrobe: Blair Waldorf
The season premiere of Gossip Girl had Blair Waldorf emoting Upper East Side sass in an ensemble that only a true fashionphile can appreciate. While stalking the NYC streets with the always dapper Chuck Bass, the high school graduate wore a decadent brocade dress with a chunky gold chain bracelet. She added a youthful touch by accessorizing with a funky L.A.M.B.
Trend Alert: Drawstring Bags
There are two rules I abide by when shopping: function and fashion. That's why I'm so smitten with the resurgence of drawstring bags. This sporty, luxe attitude goes perfectly with today's casual cool style and even translates well when paired with tailored ensembles.
Celeb Style: Emmanuelle Chriqui
Emmanuelle Chriqui toasted the Svedka Vodka party in NYC last night looking modernly chic in a fresh LBD. Notice how the mesh detailing on her frock shows just the right amount of skin. For accessories, the Entourage star shimmered in gold chandelier earrings, matching bangle, and strappy sandals.
Celebrity Style: Claudia Schiffer
You know, it's really hard to try to incorporate color into your wardrobe when Supers like Claudia make black, white, and nude look so good. Claudia attended the 2009 Fashion Fringe launch party in London looking like a modern Barbie doll. I also want to give a shout out to her wearing pants — you can do a lot with cool pants, but so many celebs veer toward skirts and dresses.
I Want This Wardrobe: Gossip Girl, Vanessa Abrams
Last night's episode of Gossip Girl left me sighing, "Poor Vanessa." The Brooklynite got another taste of the cruel Upper East Side when Blair and Chuck decided to cast her in their devious plan. Vanessa crossed bridges to attend a soiree hosted by the Bass family.
Life's a Beach: Glam-o-Rama
Step it up, it's time to step into the wonderful world that is glam-o-rama. Plain old flip-flops won't do your sexy bikini justice so opt for some fantastically fetching sandals. Take a clue from Victoria Beckham (cute son optional), who proves every day can be a glamorous day.
March Shopping Madness: Shiny Shiny
Metallics are mighty steadfast. They've been around for a while, and even if you think they've overstayed their welcome, they aren't going anywhere. If you love yourself some radiance, invest in some shiny shiny.
Celebrity Style: Debra Messing
Michael Kors' Fall '08 show beckoned a group of well-known celebs, one of them being his longtime fan Debra Messing. The actress exudes a maturely sophisticated vibe in her Michael Kors black-and-white striped bell skirt and black fur stole. In a sea of dress-wearing Fashion Week fashionistas, it's refreshing to see a lady in a voluminous skirt.
Celebrity Style: Charlize Theron
Sundance is still rolling along, and last night it brought out a face we haven't seen in a while: Charlize Theron. The actress walked the red carpet for her new movie, Sleepwalking, in an olive cowl-neck dress and black leather boots. Her look, black trench coat included, is very cold-weather appropriate and cool.
