Celebrities Wearing Printed Scarves

Printed scarves are the ultimate accessory for Spring — they're lightweight, effortless, and add intrigue to even the most basic t-shirt and jeans look. One of our favorite looks for the season is a solid ensemble — say, a classic black tank and jeans —layered with a colorful, patterned scarf, although we can't deny the sheer chicness of mixing two printed pieces in your look either.

Yves Saint Laurent Runway Fall 2012

Stefano Pilati bid adieu to Yves Saint Laurent with a dark, sexy Fall 2012 in all moody iterations of womanly dress. There's both a sultry undercurrent and a definitive strength that runs throughout Pilati's finale. It's a give and take — boxier leather jackets and trousers, and sharp outerwear have as much of a place as slinky dresses and pencil skirts constructed in light-reflecting mesh. Read more

McQ by Alexander McQueen Runway Fall 2012

Tonight's McQ by Alexander McQueen lineup was a breathtaking showcase of stylized beauty and fashion fantasy. Considering this was the diffusion line's first-ever showing during London Fashion Week, we'd say the bar has been set pretty high.

Winter White Bouquets

I'm excited to present a post from one of my favorite sites, Stylelist Home. One thing that I find beautiful about Winter is the calm that comes over me when I look at the fresh white snow blanketing the city, so regal, pure, and somewhat innocent. It changes the color palette of the world around you for a couple of months, which is bound to affect how you see things. Just like the seasonal Read more
