eBay Find of the Week

FabSugar — Sat, 13 Dec 2008 07:43:22 PST

I snooped around my mom's closet recently and discovered a burnt orange suede skirt - I stole it. If your mama can't pass one down, consider this Vintage Burgundy Suede Mini Skirt, waist 25. Now is the perfect time for suede: just ask Victoria Beckham. I suggest wearing your suede skirt just like the model, bowler hat and all.

The current bidding price is at $9.99 and the auction ends on Sunday, Dec. 14. Good luck and happy bidding!

Hannah Weil — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 12:40:45 PST

Thanks in large part to this fashionable set of celebs, we've taken notice of a new way to layer up. This crew proves that the only thing cooler than a leather jacket may just be one topped with a furry vest. The two luxe finishes play off each other with perfect street-chic style quality - one that's just as easy to finish with jeans and sneakers as it is to style up with slick bottoms and heels. Kate Moss, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Poppy Delevigne show off the look's casual capabilities, while Olivia Palermo and Mary-Kate Olsen outfit two dressier versions. Take a moment to study the celebrity gang, then read on to get our styling tips as we take the look from day to night.

One-Minute Makeover Tip: Add a Burst of Burgundy

Marisa Tom — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 12:30:34 PST

To reinvent the wardrobe wheel, look no further than the darkest reaches of your closet, where refreshed styling bounty awaits. We've tapped our style-savvy community and fashion-wise editors to breathe new life into pieces we already own. Rest assured, this one-minute makeover is sweet, simple, and budget-friendly - no strings attached. This week, we're in a merlot kind of mood; all you need to reinvent your look is a burst of burgundy.

While a bright pop of color can add a neon-infused note to any look, a burst of dark red can inject just the right amount of sultry into an ensemble. Rock shades of maroon in a textured scarf, floppy brimmed hat, corduroy pants, or tailored blazer.
Mix this cool tint with warmer layers - it's all about the unexpected accents and daring details. Whether it's a burgundy maxi skirt paired with a white button-up and mustard yellow sweater or a crimson-colored cardigan matched with toastier tones, this is an autumnal color that can transition seamlessly into a Winter outfit.
Wear this burgundy hue in plush fabrics. Its deep, velvety complexion makes for a luxurious palette. We envision this cool color looking extra suave on a floor-length silk dress, felt smoking slippers, cable-knit sweaters, and suede knee-high boots.

Celeb Style: Olivia Palermo Mixes Prints and Dons Killer Shoes

Noria Morales — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 08:44:41 PDT

Olivia took bohemian elements and turned them into a super-sophisticated outfit for a store opening in Italy yesterday, and we're swooning over the outfit. She took her Tibi-printed top, which she last wore with matching Tibi pants and tucked it into a sheer printed skirt, layered it with a black furry vest, and finished with delicately strapped suede and leather heels.
Olivia added a pop of color via a berry-hued quilted clutch.

Yves Saint Laurent Spring 2012

Chi Diem Chau — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 18:59:47 PDT

Spring was seen in a darker light for Stefano Pilati's collection for Yves Saint Laurent. Instead of the bright colors and prints favored on many runways this season, Pilati showcased a gorgeous jewel-toned collection highlighting blue, purple, and forest green hues with a sprinkling of mint green to lighten up the mood. Showing what he does best, the designer created sharp tailored jacquard trousers and structured coats. The feminine touch in the way of fit-and-flare skirts, ruffle detailed blouses, printed coats, and sexy halter tops. For eveningwear, Pilati created sultry sheer black gowns, cut deep in the front and flecked with gold shimmer. The footwear selection was covetable, showing gold-plated suede loafers dipped in beautiful jewel tones, lace-up flats, cap-toe pumps, and platform loafers. Shoes that are sure to hit the must-haves list of every stylista.

Trends: Peplum, exotic prints, volume, jacquard.
Colors: Forest green, blue, pink, mint green, purple, fuchsia, pink .
Key Look: A bold multicolored horizontal stripe wool blazer coat.
Accessories: Ankle wrap flats, gold-plated loafers, cap toe pumps.
Who Would Wear It: Girls who crave polished and sleek pieces.

Balmain Spring 2012

Hannah Weil — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 13:59:31 PDT

From the looks of things, Olivier Rousteing knows exactly what Balmain is made of. For Spring 2012, the designer showed us what might happen if a Spanish dancer went west - a mix of long, duster-like leather skirts and denim button-ups paired with the label's signature embellishments on body-conscious minidresses, skirts, and slim pants and jackets. Gold embroidery and fringe on white pants, skirts, and boleros all hinted at beautifully ornate Spanish detailing; while leather pants, denim shirts and skirts, and laser-cut leather brought us back to the Old West. At the core, it's still what Balmain does best - standout, rich metallics, and beading on the slickest and sexiest silhouettes.

Trends: leather, boleros, embellishment, fringe, embroidery, and high-waisted pants.
Colors: black, white, gold, some florals and denim.
Key Piece: the black embellished suit; the gold and white embellished mini and denim shirt.
Accessories: embellished suede and cutout leather booties, gold cuffs, chain bracelets and belts, oversize gold belt buckles.
Who Would Wear It: Cool-girl types with an eye for glam-rocker pieces; Zoe Saldana and Anna Dello Russo would rock the embellished minidresses.
