The item of clothing to put under the microscope from the Spring New York collections is the pants. Pant play has been creeping up on us — from Louis Vuitton's cropped and tailored trousers to Nina Ricci's silky pajama pants — but no item of clothing was rejiggered more than the pant. While Harem pants and slinky trousers have dramatic flair and seem to float down the runway, the real life Read more

When we first heard that crop tops (and more specifically, bralets) were going to be big for 2012, we had our reservations — it seemed like a look best suited for outdoor music festivals and costume parties — but after seeing the midriff-baring look on the runways at Dolce & Gabbana, Nina Ricci, Prada, and others, we inevitably changed our tune, and are officially smitten with the idea Read more

Seen on the runways of Phillip Lim, Thakoon, and Tibi, cropped pants are sprouting up everywhere for Spring. Not only do they keep you cooler during those hot Summer days, they also give you an excuse to show off a pair of your cute Spring shoes. Before you invest in a pair, make sure to choose your right fit; slim fit trousers cut right on top of the ankle are flattering for petite heights, Read more

With Spring officially here, there's no better time to change up your yoga routine. And while that may mean trying out a new class, it can also translate to sprucing up your gear. If you've got more cropped pants and built-in-bra tops than you know what to do with, then maybe it's time give your mat a new home. I've picked a few of my favorite yoga bags at every price range that are both Read more

There's something particularly impressive about the crop of celebrity looks from last night's Ferragamo fete. It seems every attendee stepped out with the same goal in mind: to play off of the dreamy floral decor in Salvatore Ferragamo's Spring 2012 collection of perfectly on-trend Spring brights and vibrant tropical prints. There was hardly a look in the group that didn't complement the Read more

With the Fall '12 collections fresh in our minds, it's hard not to love the resurgence of structured military-inspired silhouettes, utilitarian-style belts, and a whole new crop of cool olive-green pieces to soup up our wardrobe color palettes. Lucky for us, this "military moment" happens to fit right in with Spring's transitional styling MO. Looks straight from Topshop Unique, Balmain, and McQ Read more

For Paul & Joe's Fall 2012 collection, Sophie Albou showed a luxe menswear-inspired line filled with louche trousers, baggy overcoats, pajama suiting, and plenty of feminine touches to temper the mood. Wearability was key; cropped bomber coats were paired with skinny pants, oversized leopard-print trousers were styled with slouchy sweaters, and printed sheath dresses were tempered with long Read more

Getting into your yoga groove should be an easy process that never feels constricted. The same mindset should apply for the clothes that you rock to class! Your gear should never make your bod feel trapped; it should only support your practice. While I'm a big believer that cropped pants are the way to go (so your feet don't get caught up in extra fabric), everyone is entitled to their own unique Read more

Vanessa Bruno's 2012 Fall collection was all about the cool girl, which will surely please fashion insiders like Alexa Chung and Hollywood darlings Rachel Bilson and Kate Bosworth. Just what did the French designer have in store? A heavy helping of patent-leather pants and skirts paired with her signature tailored blazers, jewel-tone silk lace dresses, and gorgeous metallic finishes on structured Read more

Through her signature minimalist lens, Phoebe Philo brought forth a sportier chic with the season's call to volume on wide boxy coats and cropped leather jackets for Céline's Fall 2012 collection. There was a subtle departure here from Philo's typical stuff — though it may even be an exaggeration to suggest it's a deviation at all. Rather, Philo enhanced her usual minimalist-chic with a few Read more
