I love me some tweed, but for this skirt, a cheeky accessory comes with. When I first spied the Forever 21 Belted Glove Skirt ($32), my reaction was a laugh. I debated pulling the belt off all together, but that misses the point, right? My gut tells me I don't want people smirking at my look. What's your take? Is it wearable or just for giggles?

The collection, inspired by Linda McCartney’s Life in Photographs, the leading male characters in the Silent Generation, and block-print patterns from Jewish-French artist Sonia Delaunay, focused on tailored pieces with a Read more
With both cool-girl appeal and the prettiest white lace and crochet, Zara's May collection might best be characterized as an exercise in perfect boy-meets-girl dressing. The retailer artfully delivers the best of both worlds: the most feminine and sophisticated kind of separates, like a little lace waistcoat or a ladies-who-lunch tweed jacket, then a slouchy pair of tomboy-fit studded jeans and a Read more
For its Fall '12 lineup, H&M marries the art of minimalism with high-impact detail. It's another covetable collection from the retailer, this time finishing streamlined silhouettes with bursts of color, statement print, and decadent accessories — and there's something for everyone in this batch of goodies.

Brooches are back and better than ever, and this latest batch of celebrities are showing us exactly how it's done. Opting for a more modern look, Freida Pinto made a striking arrival at the Tribeca Film Festival wearing a sharp red Gucci suit accessorized with a black and gold butterfly brooch. We love how Freida tempered her masculine pantsuit with such a feminine accoutrement, but if you're Read more
Spring's all-white trend can seem like a daunting style risk, but in reality, all you need are the right pieces to re-create the same crisp looks we saw on the runways. We spotted Lauren Conrad — check out her new hot pink hair tips — in a prime example at her book signing in LA wearing a sweet two-piece ensemble. Notice how she paired a white tweed full-skirted miniskirt with a semi-sheer 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?

Apart from the brand's signature animal-print wares (this time, in a digital dalmatian iteration), Read more

Fab reader thestylesafari dressed up festive plaid by creating a long, lean look with structured separates. She channeled a cozy-meets-corporate style in a black and green tartan skirt and a crisp blouse, topping the ensemble with a textured tweed blazer. A thick belt at her waist is a perfect waist-cinching accessory and platform Mary Janes streamline the silhouette. We think this ensemble is Read more
Both a reimagining and an homage to the label's signature aesthetic, Karl Lagerfeld plays in tweed, sporty silhouettes, and whimsical layers and texture (and bejeweled eyebrows) for Chanel's Fall 2012. Lagerfeld's all-star cast (minus a noticeably absent Freja), including Miranda Kerr, Joan Smalls, and Anja Rubik, took to the catwalk of a snowy white cave, done up in crystal embellishments that Read more
