Filed under: Accessories, Must Haves

wide suede beltYou know that black dress you've been wanting to add a little "oomph" to? Or what about that oversized turquoise cardigan? You know you need a belt to cinch it in, but a boring old belt simply won't do.

Falls Five Favorite Coats - Tip of the day!

Pop with pastel - Tip of the day!

Filed under: Style Tip of the Day

The season's best jackets come in shades of pastel pink, yellow, green and blue. Pastel outerwear gives a season known for its dark palettes some lightness. They also make even the bulkiest of jackets we wear to keep warm a little more feminine. Plus they are the perfect pop of color against an office party LBD or everyday office attire (that means you black pants suit!).

Check out some of our favorite pastel coats that are sure to liven up an otherwise dreary winter.

Flatter Your Figure - Stay warm and look hot in these winter coats

Filed under: Clothing, Flatter Your Figure

winter coatIn the coming weeks and months, most of us will need to start bundling up before heading outdoors. And while that might cause flashbacks to snowpants and earmuffs for some of you, keep in mind that it is possible to stay warm in the freezing weather without looking like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, regardless of what your body looks like beneath your coat.

eBay WTF Friday Five

Third grade teacher gone badThis week, let's take a moment to celebrate the delightfully heinous crimes against denim witnessed on eBay. We've already brought you:

Bad Jean Jacket #1
Bad Jean Jacket #2
& Bad Jean Jacket #3

Here are #4-8, starting with this one.

A patch on your jean jacket is sort of sweet, in an "I was once a girl/boy scout and I dig patches" kind of way. This many patches? Batdung crazy.

Madrid
American Indian guy
American Indian guy #2
Ladybug
Bear with hat on
Giraffe
Elephant
Rag doll
Rainbow
French weathervane

Emma Thompson - Overcoat StyleFoul!

Filed under: Celebrity Fashion Mistakes


Oh, it hurts us to do this. It really does. We love Emma Thompson -- she's on our list of people we'd have lunch with if we could have lunch with anyone in the world. She's talented and funny and beautiful. And, unfortunately, at the UK premiere of Brideshead Revisted, she was badly dressed in a shapeless, shiny coat.

TK Maxx pulls knife-weilding jacket from shelves

Filed under: Style in the News


British retailer TK Maxx (no, it's not a typo -- it's the UK version of TJ Maxx in the States) got a little more than it bargained for with Swiss-branded coat it stocked -- the coat came with a concealed knife as a promotional gift. A chain on the inside of the coat leads to a pocket, and inside the pocket hides a knife with a two-and-a-half-inch blade (see a picture here).

eBay WTF of the Day: Leather, fox, and failure

Filed under: Clothing

Here we are, a crime against leather and foxes alike.

Places fox fur does not belong:

The ocean.
Guernsey (there are no foxes on the isle of Guernsey).
All over a leather jacket. WTF?

It's like someone took a sort of ugly leather jacket and decided to "improve" it by putting a fox vest over it.

eBay WTF of the Day: Bad jean jacket #1

Filed under: Clothing

Totally unjustifiable.
It must be fall. Get out your bad jean jackets.

Here, on sale from Cerry5354, we have a green satin disaster. This is like a castoff from that scene in Return to Oz when Dorothy had to touch everything that was green to bring Oz back to life or something, I don't know, I was only half watching by that point because that Rock dude really freaked my shiz out. And the flying moose box. WTF, moose box? Anyway, all the stuff that was green in that scene was like, really awkwardly and sort of aggressively green. Like this jacket.

Also, can we take a moment to appreciate the fact that Dorothy was played by Fairuza Balk? Thanks.

eBay WTF of the Day: Lilac leather loo roll

Filed under: Clothing

Leather: UR DOIN IT RONGSo, this is weird. It's sort of...Star Trek for your mother, in lavender leather. Lilac leather. Leather of an unusual color. Rsoaks wants you to have this "Unusual stylin' Lilac Leather Jacket" because it is too big for her.

This is our favorite quote from the listing:
"Note: When I purchased this, it was from a home where there was smoking. I can't really smell it anymore."

Great. Thanks for the non-committal warning/reassurance/warning (?).

The weirdest thing about this is that it 100% shapeless. No waist, no collar really; it's more like a convenient opening so that you can see. If you zippered it all the way up, we imagine you'd look cylindrical, like a lavender toilet paper roll with arms. Made of leather.

That's a weird look, guys. WTF?

Light jackets to take you into fall

Filed under: Clothing


Fall weather always provides a bit of a challenge. The weather starts out chilly, but if you dress for that, you could be sweating in the sun by late afternoon. The solution is, of course, to dress in layers, but we can't abide wearing just any old jacket for warmth -- it needs to add something to our outfit, or it's staying in the closet.

The thing is, a great light jacket can be a great addition to your wardrobe. Not only will it serve the purpose of warding off those cool autumn breezes, but it can add color, texture, and shape to your ensemble. The trick is finding the right jacket for you.

I want that! Rachel Bilson's outfit, head to toe

Filed under: Handbags, Accessories, Clothing, Shoes, Dresses, Celebrities with Style, Get the Look


Rachel Bilson has a great sense of style - fact. Her look from the May 15 launch of Rogan for Target at Barney's in Beverly Hills is a great example of her classic, eclectic look that often mixes high fashion with low. She seamlessly blends a blazer with a bohemian style crocheted dress, neon bangles, and fashion forward open toe boots – a mish mash that probably shouldn't work together but do on Miss Bilson.

Our favorite piece here has to be those killer boots. God, we're such shoe whores.

Dress: Crochet Tank Dress, $49, Arden B.

Light jackets for spring and beyond

Filed under: Accessories, Clothing, Men


In the header on Dunderdon's website it says: Work. Wear. That pretty much says it all. Of course we like to say: Work? Where? Then we run like hell in the opposite direction. It's a survival thing.

Dunderdon was created by carpenter Per-Ivan Hagberg and is considered Sweden's most innovative work-wear company.

Their designs are made for the worker, from blue-collar professionals to no-collar creative-types (hey, that's us!), so you know that durability is key, but that doesn't mean they slack on style.
