Best of 2011: Most Talked-About Pieces of the Year

Hannah Weil — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 10:45:49 PST

With December officially here, the New Year isn't far behind. So, as we prepare to welcome 2012, we're bidding 2011 goodbye with a look back at the most buzzed-about fashion news, favorite trends, and best celebrity style moments with the Best of 2011. To kick it off, we're turning our attention to the most talked-about items of the year - the fashion items that elicited the biggest reactions (be it good or bad). Jaws dropped when The Row's $39,000 backpack debuted, and stylistas all around the world swooned over Miu Miu's sparkly booties - all of our favorite celebs were spotted wearing them. We gasped at the arrival of Prada's creepers - and with them the term "flatform" forever became a part of our style vernacular - and, of course, lusted after Celine's structured tote all year long. Each piece gave way to endless gossip, praise, criticism, and obsession - now we're asking you to choose the one that had the biggest impact. Which was the most talked-about item of 2011?

Celeb Style: Ashley Olsen's Eclectic-Boho

Hannah Weil — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 10:43:05 PDT

Croc tote with Birkenstocks? If you're Ashley Olsen, there are no rules to what you can mix and match. That's why we never tire of Ashley Olsen's outfits. Her latest channels an easy, boho aesthetic - with a few signature quirks. While out in NYC, Ashley dressed up a knit tunic with a summery, tribal print skirt. Black Birkenstock sandals are a natural accompaniment to the look, as are the long beads, but the surprise comes from a luxe tote from her line The Row and a pair of oversize Prada shades. It's a luxurious, eclectic twist that somehow works.

Celeb Style: Ashley Olsen's Breezy Sophistication

Hannah Weil — Fri, 01 Jul 2011 10:36:42 PDT

We love Ashley Olsen's easy sophistication. Case in point: this relaxed maxi-sweater combo is uncomplicated cool, sharpened by her croc tote from the Row. The rest is balanced and breezy - thanks to summery black and gold sandals and Ashley's signature oversized shades. Want the same look? Click our items to shop.

One to Watch: Elizabeth Olsen

Noria Morales — Mon, 16 May 2011 09:16:46 PDT

One of the most famous sister duos - yes, that Olsen duo - has a younger sister. It's an Olsen trio! We expect rising actress Elizabeth Olsen to be in the spotlight a lot more, particularly after two impressive style debuts at Cannes Film Fest. Showing her sibling loyalty by wearing The Row, Elizabeth chose a white beaded dress for a daytime appearance, then followed it up with a sexier black dress - with the season's "it" dress trend, the thigh-high slit - also from The Row.

Celebrity Trend Alert: Blushing Bottoms

Hannah Weil — Tue, 22 Mar 2011 13:21:03 PDT

There's something undeniably Spring about youthful pink hues, but this season we're loving the more sophisticated version of the color on blushing bottoms. Lest we make you blush, we'll avoid the cheeky puns and delve straight into what we love about the splash of color on our trousers and billowy, slouchy silk pants. Just as the styled set below shows you, treat your blushy bottoms as a neutral, then add on the chic printed separates and layers à la Fearne Cotton, Maria Sharapova, and Rachel Roy. We like to think of them as the equivalent of military-hued pants in the Fall; they'll go with everything this Spring, and just as olive cargoes lent a decidedly cold-weather tilt to your look, these will do just the opposite, giving fresh seasonal chicness to whatever you put on.

2011 Fall New York Fashion Week: The Row

Melody Nazarian — Tue, 15 Feb 2011 10:42:04 PST

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have outdone themselves in terms of producing a totally fresh, entirely luxurious collection, all the while maintaining their pared-down aura. Choosing between favorite looks is like choosing between, well you know, children. Fur is a huge part of the line, no surprise there, which I'm sure won't please PETA but will make fur lovers happy. Blue fur, brown fur, gray fur, black fur - one more fuzzy chic than the next. But the ultimate fur accessories are the fur hats, which looked like they were spewing from the models' beautiful heads. On to other standouts: leopard prints, maxi hemlines, sophisticated outerwear, and heavy menswear influences. And this season, The Row girl is expanding her horizons just a bit to include hues like mustard and burgundy. Pops of color in the most sophisticated way possible - that's the way the Olsens do it.

Trends: Menswear, fur, maxi hemlines, outerwear.
Colors: Black, beige, mustard, white, light blue, brown, burgundy.
Key Looks: Menswear suits with fur hats.
Accessories: Velvet house loafers, fur hats.
Who Would Wear It: Mary-Kate and Ashley, of course, and Victoria Beckham.
