Filed under: Clothing

lucy jacketHere at StyleList, we're fashionable, but we're also realistic. We know that not every day will accommodate a sassy little dress and heels. Some days are active -- really, really active -- and those days require clothing that can go from street to sweat without missing a beat ... but, of course, we're not about to go about our day looking sloppy! And that's why we're totally crushing on lucy.

Filed under: Clothing

danskin jacketThe weather is warming up, but we still find ourselves needing a light jacket or long sleeved shirt on occasion.

Claire Goose - From Red Carpet to Your Closet

Filed under: Celebrities with Style, Red Carpet Trends, Get the Look


Let us answer your first question -- Claire Goose is a British actress who has a really fun sense of fashion. She hasn't hit a ton of red carpet events, but she's nailed about 85 percent of the ones she's attended (and even when we're not digging what she's wearing, it's not awful. It's just not what we would've picked). And, if your second question is, "How do I get that look?" you're in luck -- we've got it all spelled out for you in the gallery!

Skin of the City tees keep the city near your heart

Filed under: Clothing

Skin of the CityWe're always on the look-out for shirts that shake things up and make this casual wear something more than just sloppy. These Skin of the City t-shirts remind us of the beauty of a simple all-over design. Our favorites are these prints of ghostly, bare trees. Reminiscent of Northern winters or the circulatory system, this shirt adds interesting detail to an otherwise plain shirt.

We can see it now: This shirt, plus a pair of dark wash jeans or black trousers and a well-structured, neutral-colored jacket on top, preferably military-inspired cutting. The other shirt designs, flattened images of buildings and brick walls stretched across your torso, are pretty cool, but the stunning impact of so many strong little lines do the trick for us.

This isn't the first time we've ooh'd and ahh'd over shirts. Check out these previous StyleList posts about everyone's favorite go-to item: Threadless shirts, geek tees, opinionated tops.

Why aren't you wearing this? Sbicca 'Rosey' Slide

Filed under: Accessories, Shoes, Must Haves


We're all about a high, sexy heel, but truth be told, we're not all that likely to to wear a shoe like this out to run errands. Theoretically, it seems like a great idea, but doing a lot of purposeful walking in a stiletto doesn't really appeal. That being said, we don't want to give up the look of a heel and look like a schlub when we're out in public, right?

It's official: The Gap shirts have landed

Filed under: Style in the News


As we mentioned last week, Gap's second collection of limited-edition pieces inspired by the classic white shirt hits stores today.

All of the chic garments were created exclusively by finalists of the 2007 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund -- which helps emerging American design talent find continued success in the business side of fashion.

How is that? Anna Wintour puts the struggling designer in her fashion bible -- aka Vogue. And the exposure usually does wonders for the brand and the image of the lucky designer.
