Rihanna on the AMA Red Carpet - Sweet or Silly?

Posted Nov 24th 2008 at 10:14AM by Kristen Seymour

Filed under: Celebrities with Style, Celebrity Fashion Mistakes

Rihanna at the AMAs
Rihanna has never had a problem taking chances with fashion, that's for sure. She definitely leans toward extremes -- she's either strapped into skintight patent leather and latex or in full, ruffled gowns. Her red carpet arrival look for this year's American Music Awards definitely falls into the latter (although, for her performance, she went the other way. Of course.).

Why aren't you wearing this? Juicy Couture Cashmere Bow and Ruffles Scarf

Posted Oct 9th 2008 at 12:02PM by Kristen Seymour

Filed under: Accessories, Must Haves

We absolutely love it when the weather turns just cool enough that we need to wear a light sweater. To warm it up just a little bit, our favorite trick is a warm scarf -- it takes up almost no room, unlike a coat, so if the weather warms up we can just tuck it away in our handbag, but if we get cold, wrapping it around our neck really does the trick.

The Limited now knows no limits

Posted Sep 16th 2008 at 12:03PM by Kristen Seymour

Filed under: Stores We Love, Clothing


We've been shopping at The Limited for years. They tend to have something for everyone -- from casual to dressy, modest to va-va-voom. However, the only way to purchase their clothes was to go to the store. Seriously -- The Limited didn't have ecommerce available ... until now.

Gallery: Mix it up with these accessories (also from The Limited)

Large Bobble Pearl Necklace, $28.50Crewneck Cardigan, $27.65 (on sale!)Brushed Metal Hoop, $14.50Soft Bow Date Bag, $32Flower Ring, $20.50

You can now go online and shop to your heart's content. Look for versatile pieces, like this ridiculously cute Ruffle Shirt Dress (wear it now with peep toes, in the winter with boots and a cardigan, and again in the spring with strappy heels). It's just $69.50, so not only will you get plenty of opportunities to wear it, but you'll have money left over to accessorize (and we've got the accessories you need from The Limited in the gallery!)!

Dress of the day - Leifsdottir Ruffle Dress

Posted Sep 12th 2008 at 11:27AM by Roxanna Sarmiento

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Must Haves


Tuxedo-style ruffles dress up this girlish shift by Leifsdottir and make it one heck of layering piece this fall. Add a cardigan to highlight the bodice ruffles or better yet, show off the buttons and cut-outs at the back of the dress (click on the jump to see a picture.)

$278 at Nordstrom

Dress of the day - Silk ruffle dress by Banana Republic

Posted Sep 11th 2008 at 6:35PM by Roxanna Sarmiento

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Daily Obsession, Must Haves


If you've been wanting to try ruffles this fall but haven't figured out how to wear them to the office, this silk dress by Banana Republic is a great way to do it. We adore the ruffled collar - it's a feminine and quality detail, and the ruffles that cascade down the bodice are reminiscent of those secretary shirts from the 80s, but much more chic. The defined waist and straight skirt are professional and extremely flattering, because you don't have to look like a man to be all business.

$150 at Banana Republic

Dress of the day - Jen's Pirate Booty Poncho Villa V-Neck Mini Dress

Posted Sep 10th 2008 at 2:02PM by Roxanna Sarmiento

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Must Haves


So what if for most of us this is less a dress and more of a top? (Don't believe us? The dress is only 30" long from the shoulder to hem. Ahem.) We think that the gauzy ruffles are fabulous and that this lime green dress would look fabulous paired with a pair of dark wash jeans. As an added bonus, the tiers of ruffled goodness will hide a multitude of sins, so this dress/top will be a friend to a variety of body types - not just the gorgeously long and lean.

Dress of the day - Rolling Rings dress MARC by Marc Jacobs

Posted Sep 8th 2008 at 4:36PM by Roxanna Sarmiento

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Must Haves


Ruffles are a huge fall trend - they're feminine and flirty but can be cloyingly sweet if not handled deftly, which is why we love the bold zipper cutting across the bodice of this Marc Jacobs dress.

Act like a burlesque star, try a pair of frilly panties

Posted Aug 12th 2008 at 10:04AM by Cat Lincoln

Filed under: Vintage and Retro, Swimwear and Lingerie, Celebrities with Style



Sometimes sexy is more about innuendo than flesh. Burlesque stars, like the ravishing Miss Dita Von Teese, know this well. Her site is titillating and sexy and very suggestive. And yet, so tastefully done!

It just goes to show: a thong is sexy, but concealing and revealing your mystery with some well placed ruffles can really raise blood pressure. And other things.

Getting up on stage like Dita and doing a striptease is a bit of a stretch for most of us. But you can bring that excitement home with a few well chosen items. Online lingerie shop Pandora's Choice has a whole range of corsets, glamorous retro underwear, and bottom-less French knickers.

Want to start slow? Slip on a pair of frilly panties and make that navy blue business suit a little naughty. You know you have it in you!

Tip of the day: Tiered skirts

Posted Jun 16th 2008 at 1:30PM by Boydie Beener

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Style Tip of the Day


Let's play a little game. When we say "tiered skirt", what's the first thing that comes to mind? Hippies? Flower power? Prairies? We're about to erase that perception from your mind. No, not by our mind boggling Tom Cruise like super powers (you wish!). It's far simpler than that. We're going to introduce you to the flirty skirts present at the Luella, Givenchy, and Zac Posen spring/summer 2008 runways.

From Red Carpet to Your Closet: Natalie Portman at Cannes

Filed under: Clothing, Celebrities with Style, Get the Look


Natalie Portman certainly showed her love of ruffles at this year's Cannes Film Festival. Nearly every dress she wore was covered in them! And while ruffles can be overwhelming, we love so many aspects of this look that we're willing to forget about the fact that you can't tell whether she's got a waist or a baby belly.

We know how you can successfully pull off a look similar to Natalie's -- check out the gallery to get the scoop!

Why aren't you wearing this: Ruffled canvas tote

Posted May 26th 2008 at 9:20AM by Kristen Seymour

Filed under: Handbags, Accessories, Must Haves


Sometimes it's hard to find the right balance between an item that's really useful and an item that's flirty and feminine. You want to show off your personal style, but you also have needs -- and if your needs are anything like our needs, that means you need to carry a fair amount of stuff on a daily basis.

We think that this Ruffled Canvas Tote, just $19.50 as a part of the European Collection at Gap, is a fantastic solution. It's girly and sweet, but it's still going to get the job done -- just like you!

Dress of the Day: J Crew Silk Twill Shirtdress

Posted Nov 14th 2007 at 4:45PM by Sarah J. Gim

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Must Haves

j crew silk twill shirtdressWe love shirt dresses, yes we do, but having an entire closet full of black and navy dresses that really look like shirts with belts is pretty boring. J.Crew's Silk Twill Shirt Dress adds interest to your wardrobe because of cool little features that are different from the typical collar, neckline , shirttail hemline, and cuffs of a standard shirtdress: printed fabric, deep scoop neckline, ruffled collar, bracelet-length sleeve and A-line gathered skirt.

The dress is available at jcrew.com for $180.
