Have. Want. Need.
Who is this matron and what has she done with the sassy Mischa Barton? I've always known that Mischa is capable of making fashion faux pas, but this is pure insanity! At the Closing the Ring UK premiere, it appears the actress is having an identity crisis. The only thing I applaud Mischa for are her studded, Louboutin Mary Janes. Other than that, I'd save the bow-tie blouse for a luncheon and Read more
Last week I showed you a debatable bow tie blouse, and I'm still on the fence about this style in general. Maybe you can all convince me to love bow tie blouses. They are definitely in masculine-feminine turf, and I love a perfect bow now and again, but something about them makes me feel...claustrophobic. I dunno. The way to wear these is with some trousers and kick ass peep toes, and hark! You Read more
LOFT, also known as Ann Taylor's younger, super-independent sister, is taking its Fall 2012 collection for a youthfully chic spin, offering up countless ways to master the "art of print" with cool takes on classic pieces and covet-worthy accessories. Divided into four stylized apartments — think artsy style setter, sleek Francophile, sophisticated lady about town, and polished bohemian — Read more
For Fall 2012, Ann Taylor's head designer Lisa Axelson crossed the pond and took to the banks of the Seine, to the cozy-chic cafés of Montmartre, and to the gardens of the Tuileries. The result? An autumnal collection not only reminiscent of her travels, but also totally inspired by la femme jolie. Apart from the brand's signature animal-print wares (this time, in a digital dalmatian iteration), Read more
Bows are no longer just for the frill-seekers. The Spring 2012 runways — namely Miu Miu, Valentino, Viktor & Rolf, and Carven — have proven that these sweetly twisted knots are the perfect flirty accent for any serious style-setter. To this point, it's less about the overtly girlie Little Bo Peep fluff and more about the subtle ways in which we can show off a romantic detail without going Read more
It doesn't take a lot to make us happy; sometimes, all it takes is a really great dress. That must be why we're so fond of Spring's ladylike trend — all it takes is a pretty frock or a figure-flaunting skirt to achieve the same comely looks we saw on Louis Vuitton, Prada, and Dolce & Gabbana's catwalks. Now we're making it even easier with a crop of ladylike finds that all come in under Read more
As far as transitional looks go, Jessica Alba got it just right, topping her flares with a preppy-cool striped blazer for an event in LA. We love that this style setter's knack for outfitting street-chic translates so easily into our own wardrobes. This one's especially perfect for the change of seasons and walks that line between casual and sophisticated, thanks to easy separates with a dressier Read more

Whether you’re going out on the town, enjoying the weekend, or heading to lunch, we're about to prove that this citrus blouse is just as easy to style as your basic Read more

We fell head over heels for this tie-front top by 3.1 Phillip Lim, and today, we're going to show you three fresh ways to wear it. Whether you’re going out on the town, enjoying the weekend, or heading to lunch, we're about to prove that this citrus blouse is just as easy to style Read more
When our evening style sensibilities crave something a little more snappy, we look to the tuxedo. Tuxedo looks dominated the Fall runways at Jason Wu, Tibi, Dolce & Gabbana, and Moschino, then on sharply dressed celebs like Olivia Palermo and Evan Rachel Wood. Not that the tux is new on the scene; we owe it to greats like Marlene Dietrich for making the menswear evening staple a glamorously Read more
