Save your slick black leather pants and military boots for another occasion - we've got 18 fearless, studded, and spiked rings to let your tough-girl sensibility shine through.

Thus, a ring can inject that cool, armored appeal into your look, no matter what you're wearing. Our go-to styles? Hammered metal iterations from Low Luv by Erin Wasson, stacked skull-adorned Alexander McQueen rings, medieval-inspired Eddie Borgo hinged finger versions, and one seriously punk ring by Tom Binns, to start. Now that your more rebellious side has been piqued, click through and shop our editors' picks below - 18 rings, at all price points.

Winter Kate and House of Harlow's Fall Lookbook Shows Off an Updated Take on '60s Cool

Marisa Tom — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 09:37:00 PDT

Fall may seem like a far-off cry from the season in bloom, but we couldn't help but take a peek (and lust over) Nicole Richie's latest Winter Kate and House of Harlow autumnal wares. With Richie's signature brand of bohemian-luxe style ever present, we were delighted to note an edgier (read: rich jewel tones, plush velvet textures, and slick lasercut details) vibe in place. The collection is chock-full of '60s-inspired pieces - sheer herringbone blouses, wide-leg pants, and a plethora of oversize round sunglasses to start - that evoke a structured, geometric retro feel (hello Mad Men!) more than ever. Come chillier temps, we can't wait to rock an eclectic House of Harlow bone-wrap cuff with one of Winter Kate's vintage-looking pencil dresses. To tide us all over, we've pulled our top three looks below, then make sure to check out the rest of the Fall '12 looks in the slideshow.

Winter whites are a cold-weather staple, and to prove our point, we'll be wearing this ultrasheer white maxi dress with a quirkier set of accessories.
It's all about the Swinging Sixties for Fall '12, and what better way to capture the essence of that stylish era than with a distinct geometric print.
Update your floral obsession with an antiqued rose-print sheath - it's ladylike, sophisticated, and will look great against a luxe faux fur coat.

30 Ways to Go Bold With Spring's Geometric Shape Obsession

Marisa Tom — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 09:46:15 PDT

As the Spring 2012 runways would have it, strong lines and structured edges took shape - quite literally. From bright psychedelic patterns at Milly and art deco references at Gucci, to boxy silhouettes at Christian Dior and graphic prints at Carolina Herrera, not only are designers in a geometric state of mind, but celebs like Nicole Richie and Rooney Mara are breathing life into the trend in supercool ways. To don this bold style, try it on in doses. A mod prism clutch, a Mondrian-inspired pendant necklace, a square stack of bangles, or a geo-cut pair of heels should give your finished look the right blend of shapeliness and symmetry. Pair any of our editors' picks below with your favorite jeans and a casual topper, and your off-duty festival look is ready to go. Shop your favorites - and let us know how you'll be wearing Spring's geometric pieces.

To finish, she added a hint of sparkle via a few layered necklaces and a classic patent pump to tie it all together. Just shop our editors' picks to channel SJP's easy elegance.
