Shop It! Our Oxford Obsession

Hannah Weil — Tue, 30 Nov 2010 09:00:05 PST

For me, no ballet flat can carry off a Fall look quite like its flat-footed oxford friend. It pairs pretty with rolled trousers, cuffed jeans, and lends a little sophistication to your mini hemlines. They're edgy with studs ($30), party-perfect in sequins, and shiny chic in metallic silver ($55). Click any of our Fab-approved picks above to snag the style!

Trend Alert: Tie Your Laces

FabSugar — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 06:00:22 PDT

Tie your laces in some oxfords. No longer associated with cheesy salesmen and schoolgirls, flat oxfords have been updated in enough colors and finishes to please every whimsy. Get girlie and wear them with a flirty floral dress or be '80s inspired and pair them with skinny jeans and a loose top a la Selma Blair.

Frye Spotted in NYC

PopSugarTV — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 08:23:28 PDT

We hit the streets of the Union Square farmers market and the corner of 59th and Fifth by Central Park on a quest to style uniquely dressed New Yorkers in some of our favorite Frye shoes from the new collection. Curious and intrigued, tourists, locals, and effortlessly chic passersby popped into the Frye Spotted style station to re-create Frye's classic yet rugged ambiance.

Spotted in Union Square, a rocker-inspired gal in a black and brown leather bomber was styled in the Dorado Lug Riding Boot, adding a structured piece to her laissez-faire look. A young, and in-love, couple was spotted on Fifth. She, in teeny, gray skinny jeans, slipped gracefully into the Naiya Kiltie Oxford while her Italian stallion fiancé matched his leather to the Dakota Plain Toe. Watch the recap to see Frye's versatility shine through as the perfect shoe for all. Young, old, bohemian, or mod, Frye is one for all this Fall . . . and anytime, really.

Simple Styling Trick: Add a Touch of Leopard

Hannah Weil — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 09:10:25 PDT

The looks might be different, but Ashlee Simpson, Lauren Conrad, and Rebecca Romijn all draw from the same, simple styling trick: amp up the chic factor with a touch of leopard print. Ashlee lets it pop against her all-black ensemble, Lauren mixes nautical stripes and leopard flats, and Rebecca carries an effortlessly cool Hung On U Pony Bag for a subtly sexy match with leather pants and a sweet cream blouse. Leopard print is sexy but versatile: just a little bit of it pairs well with your cocktail looks or dressed-down basics for every day. To make it work, just keep your doses in check and these tips in mind. Then shop our editors' picks to get the look.

Keep your wild print appropriate for daytime by adding it on a casual tote or a pair of this season's best oxfords, loafers, or ballet flats.
Since the print is already a standout, save the statement shoes like platforms and stilettos for your nights out.
Feel free to add leopard print to your other prints, like stripes, polka dots, even florals, just remember to use your pop of leopard sparingly, so it doesn't compete with your other patterns.

Back-to-School Geek Style: Dress Like Mister Rogers

Anna Monette Roberts — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 12:36:43 PDT

I grew up watching Mister Rogers' Neighborhood every morning. And, honestly, I only remember feeling extremely resentful that I had to get dressed for school while, in Mister Rogers's universe, he was returning home from work to play. The start of every show, he routinely dresses down to his legit indoor outfit, which always includes a colorful cardigan and a pair of Keds. Now it's back-to-school season, and you can let the best of Mister Rogers's fabulously geeky style inspire your wardrobe. Yes, Mister Rogers, I would and could be your neighbor.

From left column to right: Aubin & Wills Muscatel Merino Wool Cardigan ($140), American Apparel Flat Edge Leather Belt ($34), Keds Champion Navy Canvas Shoes ($40), John Patrick Organics Raw Hem Oxford Shirt ($240), Adriano Goldschmied Brown Cigarette Leg Corduroy Pants ($145).

Chic Destinations a Hop From Your Doorstep

LearnVest — Fri, 27 May 2011 00:15:33 PDT

We're thrilled to present this smart LearnVest story here on Savvy!

At this point, most of us have planned our summer travel, but there’s no reason our journeys have to end when the air starts to chill.

We’ve rounded up the best upcoming chic destinations for you, depending on your part of the country–because travel expenses aren’t just about where you’re going, they’re also about where you’re coming from. A quick and inexpensive trip for some might require hours in the air and thousands of dollars for others (Hawaii and London come to mind as quick jaunts for the West and East Coast respectively, not so much for the reverse coasts).

We’ve divided our favorite chic and inexpensive getaways by region, so you can spend less time and money in the air, and more where you want to–on the ground.

If you’re traveling from the Northeast:

Iceland

A hot new destination, it’s close to the Northeastern United States and affordable compared to the rest of Western Europe. Iceland Air has a great stopover option which allows travelers to explore Iceland en route to (or on their way back from) more than 20 destinations served by the airline, for the cost of a single flight. For example: Depart Boston on September 9th, hang out in Reykjavik for a few days, and then head on to London on the 12th, all for $439 including taxes and fees. Despite the economic crisis that nearly turned Iceland into a barter economy just a few years ago, hotel prices still haven’t dropped to what we’d call “cheap” levels. But deals are certainly available. At the Hótel Frón, rooms in September start at $139 per night.

Style Session: Brit Marling

Noria Morales — Tue, 26 Jul 2011 13:17:08 PDT

Lucky magazine caught up with hot young actress Brit Marling, who is not only wowing audiences for her roles as actor and producer of indie film Another Earth, but she's wowing with her personal style the New York Times labeled 'Manhattan-era Meryl Streep with California surfer girl'. We're thrilled to share this fabulous story from our friends at Lucky!

Lucky: How would you describe your personal style?
Brit Marling: I’ve always dressed a bit differently, a bit androgynously, I always loved boy’s clothes: the color and cut of them. I love the way Katherine Hepburn dressed; I love the severity of it. It’s funny, all of the people I am thinking about are from the past, I don’t know why. But maybe people in the future will look back to now and think about the actresses of our time like “Oh that person was so iconic.” This is my least tomboy attire, like I should’ve said that rolling in oxford shoes, a blazer, and a tie. I guess I like to go back and forth between extremely masculine and extremely feminine.

Lucky: Where do you shop?
BM: I am really big on vintage clothes. There a couple places in LA and New York that I love to go. You really feel you’re finding something that nobody has. That is very cool, and then pairing it with things from this world. I am into the harem pants right now, with like men’s shoes and a t-shirt-it’s almost like a uniform that I wear everywhere. It’s comfortable, its casual, and it’s also slightly different than jeans. I am not a big jeans girl, mostly because I don’t find them that comfortable.

Lucky: Any specific boutiques you can recommend?
BM: In LA, there is a good place called The Way We Wore. In New York, Amarcord always has strange little finds in it. And then I love going to flea markets and thrift stores and finding the random, odd cashmere sweater or strange skirt.
