Tip of the day: Liberty prints

Filed under: Style Tip of the Day


Liberty prints are everywhere. We've seen them on Kate Moss. We've seen them on Keira Knightly. Even on British socialite Peaches Gelfdoff. And if you haven't guessed Captain Obvious, these prints are as English garden as they come.

Designers are tapping in and bringing these charming prints across the pond via floaty, bohemian tops, simple sundresses, summer scarves, chunky shoes and of course, sweet English style tea dresses. Mixing Americana with English rose has never looked so good!



Tip of the day: Don't be so transparent

Filed under: Style in the News, Style Tip of the Day


It is often difficult for people to find anything that you can bring into your own life when it comes to haute couture except for the entertainment factor. That's what we're here for – to pull the haute trends from the runway and deliver them to you in wearable form.

After visiting the house of designer's like Jean Paul Gaultier and Valentino via YouTube, we've uncovered the biggest trend that was shown on nearly every haute couture runway.

Drum roll please...

Tip of the day: They call me mellow yellow (and grey)

Filed under: Clothing, Style Tip of the Day


We have seen the yellow and gray combo around for some time now. The sunny hue is completely complimentary of the soft neutral and a perfect pick for those with a cool skin tone. Plus, it's a lot less harsh than its bumblebee side kick, black and yellow.

Try giving some of these mellow yellow looks a whirl.

Tip of the day: Be artsy fartsy

Filed under: Style in the News, Style Tip of the Day


We've all seen the art inspired abstract prints that are a key trend this summer. What we bet you didn't know was that the look is also an easy DIY project. Instead of shelling out a cool thousand for a D & G dress, why not do one just as fabulous yourself?

Here's what to arm yourself with:

Why aren't you wearing this? Textured Ribbon Headband

Filed under: Accessories, Hair Care, Must Haves


We've shown you a few headbands throughout the "Why aren't you wearing this?" series, and often, they cost a pretty penny. And if you love it, and you have the cash, there's no reason not to spend $50 on a headband. However, if you're short on cash but still want the look, there are plenty of options.

One place that's great to shop for cheap little accessories that you'll only wear a few times is Forever 21, which is where we found this Textured Ribbon Headband for ... wait for it ... only $2.80! Seriously! And it's cute!

Sleek, affordable Radius headphones

Filed under: Accessories, Clothing


Remember when the iPod first came out, how those white ear buds were the coolest status symbol of cool coolness you could ever get?

Well, now everyone has them, and it's time for new, cool trendy earphones. For a while we thought it would be Bose, of the exquisite sound and $300 price tag. But those mothers are huge! They make us feel like we're wearing a bad DJ costume on the bus and at the gym.

Filed under: Accessories, Style in the News, Shoes, Must Haves


If you're going to splurge on an insanely fabulous pair of shoes, you need to ask yourself this question: Do I want a classic style that will always work, or do I want something amazingly trendy that will turn everyone's head? Because, you know, you can't have it all.

That is, unless you have these.

Nicole Richie: The birth of style

Filed under: Style in the News, Clothing, Dresses, Skin Care, Celebrities with Style, Polls and Quizzes


Our sister site Stylelist is running a poll today regarding Nicole Richie and which style suits her best- her crazy, single days (left), or her current look, healthy (right). Guess which one I voted for.

I'm not one to knock a person's weight, at least not to their face, but the fashion world lives for that stuff, and let's face it, Nicole Richie was beyond tiny back in the day, like care-package skinny. She was thin by Hollywood standards, which, as we all know, are ridiculous- and hot, but mostly ridiculous.

Geek is the new black

Filed under: Men, Style for a Cause

With the rising popularity of blogs, social networking sites, and the Internet in general, it's now cool to be intelligent, tech-savvy and a wizard with a laptop. Gone are the 1980s images of uber-nerds who have to form their own fraternities to have friends. These days, if you're really cool, you're a geek.

But are you stuck in the dark ages? Still lusting after smooth-talkin' dudes with flashy smiles and Johnny Bravo haircuts?

If so, it's time for you to get hip. So take some advice from Craigslist's anonymous geek lover, and find yourself a man who can really satisfy your needs. Here's her top five reasons you should date a geek:

1. While geeks and nerds may be awkward, they're well-meaning 9 out of 10 times. I've never had a geek guy not call me when he said he would.
2. In this tech-savvy world, it's great to have a b/f who can make your laptop, desktop, and just about anything else that plugs into a wall behave itself.
3. Ok true, their idea of romance might be to make up a spiffy web-page with all the reasons why they love you, with links to pics of you and sonnets and such... but hey. It lasts longer than flowers, plus you can show your friends.
4. Due to their neglected status, there are plenty to choose from.
5. Come on now, how can intelligence be a bad thing?

For the entire list, check out her Craigslist post.

Mod, minimalist jumper

Filed under: Clothing

The Parameter Jumper is a throwback to a 1960's style, but it has been updated just enough not only to look more contemporary, but to look great, too. The dress has a slightly tucked waist and comes with a flattering belt to highlight the area in a move away from the more boxy 60's look. Angled pockets make it visually interesting, as well as practical, and the two-tone shift style, with a darker layer extending beneath the lighter one, adds dimension to the otherwise unremarkable gray tones. The dress is pictured with black tights, but as fall approaches, pairing this dress with some high, funky boots and a sparkly bracelet is the best way to go. Price: $274.
