Runway to Real Way – Chanel Spring 2010

Vanessa — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 18:00:16 +0000

Chanel‘s Spring 2010 collection – it makes me want to yodel. I’m pretty sure that wasn’t the reaction they were looking for, but really they’re only 2 braids short of Heidi and I don’t mean Montag. Though this look might not be for everyone, I do know many who are head over heels for clogs, so if you want to go authentic with them – here’s your inspiration updated with some feminine florals.

Celebrity Look 4 Less – Reese Witherspoon in Madewell

Celine — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 12:00:58 +0000

Reese Witherspoon is one of those celebrities who never looks like she’s trying that hard. She has an effortlessly chic style that I’m pretty sure many would love to emulate. Out and about in Brentwood, CA a couple of weeks ago, the petite star looked adorably incognito (fedora! sunglasses!) while managing to also shine ever so brightly in a red Madewell summer dress. Her army green jacket is a nod to the current military trend and her nude wedges made her legs look a mile long (OK, maybe several feet). It was easy to come up with our Look 4 Less pieces this go-around because Reese’s sweet Madewell dress is happily fairly reasonably priced!

Real vs. Steal – Jennifer Behr Spiked Turban Headwrap

Vahni — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 12:00:32 +0000

I was so not feeling the whole turban trend until I spotted the Spiked Turban Headwrap by Jennifer Behr. I think I have at least 30 more years before I’ll contemplate working a full-on turban (à la Liz Taylor), so I’m not ruling it out. But for now, this supremely spiky number might be the only turban I think the younger fashionista could wear without looking like a complete trend victim. It’s just so bad, it’s good, non?

Alright, so I’ve convinced you that a crown of silver spikes is a good thing. Unfortunately, the Jennifer Behr Spiked Turban Headwrap is not only insanely expensive at $498 (for a headwrap?), even if you were prepared to pony up, it’s totally sold out. But you can still scare all the little children (and probably some big people, too) with the Spikey Stud Headband from Topshop. Fashion, fear and fabulousness, all for only $60. No wonder why Topshop is the top stop for style mavens across the globe.

Celebrity Look 4 Less – Eva Mendes in Chloé

Irina — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 11:00:34 +0000

Last year during the annual Venice Film Festival in Italy Eva Mendes attended a dinner party hosted by Jaeger Le-Coultre looking like the summer goddess that she is. The actress wore a flowy white Chloé maxi dress which she accessorized with cork wedges and a luxurious diamond watch by Jaeger Le-Coultre. It’s a great summer look for a semi-formal event like a sophisticated garden party or any other outdoor event. Recreate Eva’s boho look with our equally stylish yet budget-friendly picks below.

Runway to Real Way – Diane von Furstenberg Bow Headbands

Vahni — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 12:00:47 +0000

Did Diane von Furstenberg feel the influence of pop icon and songstress Lady Gaga when she designed her collection of ginormous bow headbands? One can never underestimate Gaga power. After all, the Fall 2010 ready-to-wear shows were teeming with models in “no pants” (Gagaspeak for the bodysuit, worn with, well, no pants). Maybe DvF was inspired by Gaga’s (literal) hair bow from her Poker Face video, with a little glitz borrowed from headband queen Blair Waldorf (of Gossip Girl). It certainly can’t be Tavi Gevinson’s famous, view-blocking bow since the collection was already in production at that point.

Diane von Furstenberg Resort 2010

DvF’s oversized headpieces may have been fun on the runway, but for real life, there wouldn’t be many females past the age of five willing to rock one. Of course, the little girl in me still loves the sweetness of a bow headband, and luckily we found several affordable, scaled down versions we think you’ll love too.

Nicole Richie looked absolutely fabulous when she was out and about in Beverly Hills a few weeks ago. Nicole was wearing a red double breasted coat from Sonia by Sonia Rykiel, black skinny jeans & matching Louboutins with white trimmed Chanel sunglasses, a slouchy Rick Owens beanie and her much loved Balenciaga motorcycle bag.
