Trend Alert: Studded Boots

FabSugar — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 11:00:22 PDT

Check it: studded boots aren't just for the rough and tough biker babes. Today, any girl with a little bit of funk in her can sport these badass, embellished boots. Notice how Sienna Miller, English model Sarah Harding, and Megan Fox wore studded boots in very different ways. Sienna looked like a bohemian girl in a slouchy, suede pair by Vivienne Westwood; Sarah took the rocker route - with her utterly adorable Frenchie - in a hard-hitting strappy pair; while Megan stayed California cool and paired her slick, knee-high boots with jeans and a bright cardi.

Diesel Black Gold Fall 2012

Chi Diem Chau — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 14:34:07 PST

It was all about baggy cuts and luxe fabrics at Diesel Black Gold's Fall showing today at Pier 57. Designer Sophia Kokosalaki stayed true to the brand's rock 'n' roll aesthetic, showing a range of printed skinnies, oversized cuffed leather pants, and a lot of leopard. Inspired by "vintage B-movies," Kokosalaki took it to the streets with an assortment of paint-splattered pants, low-slung leather wrap skirts, and a heavy helping of leopard prints. Designs for the downtown girl, but there were also a few notable pony hair tops and jackets which added a sleek touch to the collection. The complete breakdown below.

Trends: Baggy silhouettes, wrap skirts, printed pants.
Colors: Black, gray, brick red, navy blue.
Key Piece: We loved the pony-hair tops and leather wrap skirts.
Accessories: Studded bags, paint-splattered ankle boots, wide belts, chain jewelry.
Who Would Wear It: In addition to front-row attendees Harley Viera-Newton and Emmy Rossum, we can also see Zoe Kravitz and Jessica Szohr wearing this collection.

Rodarte Fall 2012

Marisa Tom — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 12:35:12 PST

Leave it to Kate and Laura Mulleavy to not only draw a star-studded front row - hello, George Lucas, Natalie Portman, and Dakota Fanning - but to deliver a stellar, 1940s-inspired Fall '12 collection too. One part cave-drawing-infused, one part retro femme, and one part Australian outback-reminiscent, Rodarte showcased a beautiful mix of totally girlie pieces with both red-carpet appeal and wearable ladylike style. The sister duo paid close attention to feminine details á la Peter Pan collars, artfully structured ruffles, and metal star appliqué hair combs. Yet, never ones to shy away from throwing some quirk into the picture, they added literal hand prints to long, flowy evening gowns and added cowboy buckles to double-strap leather belts. The biggest covet-worthy takeaway from today's show? After several seasons of collaborating with key shoe designers like Nicholas Kirkwood and Christian Louboutin, the Mulleavy sisters debuted their first-ever in-house shoe collection. We're calling it: Rodarte's two-tone pumps with heels made of plexiglass, sexy dominatrix-inspired spat heels, and lace-up boots will be Fall '12 It girl items. All in all, it's a gorgeous autumnal lineup, just begging to be worn.

Trends: Cropped cable-knit sweaters, hand-print chiffon dresses, and 1940s-inspired silhouettes.
Colors: Warm, earthy tones like rust and terracotta juxtaposed against cool neutrals.
Key Piece: Super-cute chunky cable-knit sweaters paired with terracotta-hued trousers; diaphanous hand-print chiffon dresses.
Accessories: Ladylike round-toe pumps with heels made of plexiglass or filled with sand, sexy lace-up gladiator-inspired spat heels. Look out for the subtleties in each heel design.
Who Would Wear It: Front-row attendees Natalie Portman and Dakota Fanning are high up on the list, but we think a plethora of A-list talent will be clamoring to wear this collection. Don't be surprised to see Taylor Swift, Alexa Chung, Kirsten Dunst, and Elle Fanning flaunting Rodarte's wares, too.

Madonna Rocks Out in Givenchy at Super Bowl: Love It or Leave It?

Chi Diem Chau — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 08:02:26 PST

Our favorite part about last night's Super Bowl? The Madonna halftime show. The 53-year-old proved she's still got it, singing, dancing, and above all, looking amazing in a sexy studded getup. Going with an Egyptian-themed show, Madonna wore a black-and-gold studded Givenchy dress, thigh-high boots, fishnet tights, and her trademark fingerless gloves. No doubt a daring look, but we want to know, did you love it? Check out more photos from her performance last night, then tell us what you think in the comments section below.

Seven Pairs of Doorknocker Earrings to Elevate Winter Outfits

Lucky — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 13:46:44 PST

Lucky magazine is one of our favorite sources for great shopping tips. We're thrilled to share this fabulous story on earrings to dress up your Winter looks from our friends at Lucky!

Arm parties and expertly layered necklaces are great-except in winter, when bare limbs and necklines are hidden like, 70 percent, of the time. Cold weather kills my motivation to accessorize (along with my will to do anything other than watch Downton Abbey), since I know most people I bump into will only see my giant parka, boots, scarf and windchapped face anyway.

But maybe I'll invest in a pair of doorknocker earrings to distract from my bulky ensemble and red cheeks. They're the laziest way to look a little bit more glamorous in even the most industrious winter outfit. Or, with a cocktail dress and studded anything, they conjur Madonna's devastatingly cool '80s look-without the Aquanet or shoulder pads.

On top of that brassy, antique finish, the name's kinda awesome.

Best of 2011: Shoe Designer of the Year

Marisa Tom — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 04:30:58 PST

Sure, diamonds are a girl's best friend, but we've always had a real weakness for a gorgeous pair of heels. This year marked the debut of Marc Jacobs's moon boot wedges and Prada's flatforms, but we were also introduced to Charlotte Olympia's quirky cat-faced slippers and stacked platforms, and treated to another wonderful dose of Louboutin's red sole-induced magic. Brian Atwood debuted his gorgeous - and more accessible - lower-priced line, B by Brian Atwood, and Giuseppe Zanotti had us hypnotized with studded and spiked creations. There was never a dull moment, and we're turning it over to you to make the call -who is this year's best shoe designer?
