In the midst of all the cutesy party dresses, skirts often get overlooked. While most skirts are of the casual or office variety, there’s a few that can do double duty at the office and later at the holiday party. We found this wool and ribbon Tsuga Skirt by Maeve that with the right top and accessories can take the place of your holiday party dresses. Made of polyester and wool, this moss green A-line skirt features appliqued ribbon in an all-over geometric grid pattern. Pair with a black silk pussy-bow blouse, black pumps and gold statement jewelry and you’re all set for after work...  Read More..

If you didn’t get enough of Versace’s dizzying prints, then get ready for another print-tastic Italian fashion brand, Marni! Designed by founder Consuelo Castiglioni, Marni is known for its retro-style, colorful prints, chunky wood platform shoes, funky jewelry and that iconic Balloon bag. The Marni for H&M spring collection will launch on March 8 in 260 H&M stores worldwide (and online at H&M.com). Like Versace for H&M...  Read More..

British Vogue has posted images from the full Versace for H&M collection. We’re talking womenswear, menswear, home goods, jewelry, shoes, handbags and accessories. We tried to narrow it down to the top five must-haves, but who are we kidding – you must-have the entire collection! The women’s and men’s collections are equally chic, and we can see some items from the men’s collection that we can easily rock. All of the Versace details are there: heavy studding, lots of leather, shocking color combos, mixed prints only Versace can pull off, Medusa Medallions everywhere...  Read More..

Peplum-style dresses are so haute right now. While a full peplum dress might be too over-the-top for every day wear, you can still rock the trend with this Aqua ‘Klingon’ Peplum skirt. This uniquely embellished skirt offers a futuristic take on peplum style, with a high fitted waist and structural, tailored bottom, with a peplum ‘flare’ at each hip. It comes in four colors (white, black, nude and orange) that you can mix and match with casual or dressy tops, whichever fits the occasion. We think the orange skirt paired with a chambray button down would make a fun weekend...  Read More..

Chanel‘s Fall 2011 Couture collection is everything you’d imagine a Chanel collection to look like. There were tons of boxy-cut tweed jackets, pencil skirts and peplum-style suits, plus mid-length wool coats. The entire collection was full of menswear-inspired silhouettes and heavy on fabrics (tweed, wool, feathers, chiffon, mesh and satin were often paired) with dark colors like black, gray and navy reigning throughout, plus a few touches of winter white and hot pink. A few of the more adventurous pieces lived up to their couture label. More peplum-style dresses were made of interesting...  Read More..

This year, the unofficial award for best 70′s-style flared denim goes to Mother. With a name like Mother, you’d expect a line full of ‘mom jeans’, but that’s not at all what you’ll find. Launched in 2010 by Lela Tillem and Tim Kaeding (former execs at 7 for All Mankind and Citizens of Humanity), Mother had some of the hottest selling jeans (and are arguably some of the sexiest denim that debuted this year), Mother ‘The Drama’ Wide Leg Jeans. Aside from the great name, The Drama jeans were praised for their amazingly flattering and amazingly...  Read More..

While we still haven’t completed our summer wardrobe shopping, we’re already previewing the H&M Autumn/Winter 2011 collection. H&M describes the line in one word – ‘elegance’. The 70′s glam-inspired pieces are truly elegant – both in color and silhouette. Women’s apparel consists of wide-legged, tailored pants, billowy blouses, voluminous knitwear and sleek, silky dresses, faux furs, skirts, blazers, and ponchos. There are a few patterns and prints throughout that are perfect for Fall, and we love the mixing of florals, paisley, and check...  Read More..

“Motivation” singer Kelly Rowland kicked up her heels as the newest judge at “The X Factor UK” auditions in Glasgow.

It’s great when stars dress in clothes that the average woman can actually afford. Love it or hate it, Selita Ebanks rocked an interesting look to the screening of The Hangover 2 at Landmark Sunshine Cinemas, hosted by The Cinema Society & Bing. The Victoria’s Secret Angel and supermodel wore an outfit that on anyone else, might look ‘granny’, but she worked it and rocked it. And each of the pieces in her look ranged in price from $30-$750, so there’s something that every woman can buy!  She paired a silk printed kimono blazer with a collared lace top, high-waisted...  Read More..

Rachel Zoe‘s 2012 Resort collection is everything we’d expect from the celebrity stylist. Her signature bohemian-chic 70′s-inspired style is stamped all over this collection. Looks consist of sharply tailored menswear-style suits in unexpected colors (purple!), long lounge-y cardigans, breezy organza party and maxi dresses, plus other separates including strong shoulder blazers, blouses, safari shorts and ruffled skirts. This is Zoe’s second line since launching her collection in January. via WWD Photos: Stefanie Keenan Get more What’s Haute – Follow us on...  Read More..

I’m loving the rebirth of the denim/chambray shirt. Back in the day I had so many different types of them, and got rid of them all. But like everything in fashion, it’s now back in style. I love the drawstring waist on this shirt (anything that cinches your middle is a must-have). I planned to pair it with denim jeans but went with a skirt instead since the weather was gorgeous today! Hope you were out enjoying it too! What I wore: Sunglasses: Fendi, Leather earrings: Random vendor, Denim shirt: Prototype, Scarf: Risto, Turquoise necklaces: Free People and Soixante Neuf, Watch:...  Read More..

The trend of the moment is colorblock, and that includes everything from apparel and jewelry, to handbags and shoes. (And if you’re Nicki Minaj, it includes your hair too). But back on track, colorblocking is all over Spring fashion and you can wear it, right off the runway. Our pick for a real-life colorblock look are these DvF separates: the Diane von Furstenberg Eris Blouse and Diane von Furstenberg Idola Midi Skirt. As seen on the runway, this crisp red-orange short-sleeved woven silk blouse features a boxy cut, with an asymmetrical hem, button closure at collar, hidden 6-button closure...  Read More..

Summer may be ending but that doesn’t mean you can’t bear one of your best assets – your legs. Stash those short shorts but get ready to ‘Fall’ for short skirts. To get maximum exposure from your mini skirts, pair with a flowy top and blazer, ballet flats or platforms and of course, a smoothly shaved leg.

Pencil skirts don’t get any sleeker than this. Hervé Léger‘s body-con, slimming bandage dresses flatter and conceal in all the right places, and you can have the same effect in one of their sleek skirts. The bandage-style Hervé Léger Lydie pencil skirt comes in a rich red tone with gray inserts at the waist and hem. A fitted waist and concealed side zip work wonders for giving your body that sculpted look. Pair it with a blazer or a simple white tee for a versatile yet sexy appeal.

Made of 70% polyester, 25% cotton, and 5% spandex, it’s the perfect blend for showing off those curves. The skirt alone lets you speak volumes without...  Read More..

It’s safe to say that bandage skirts aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. Hervé Léger returned us to the era of the form fitting bandage dress and now bandage skirts are following suit. Celebrity trendsetter Rihanna, along with Heidi Klum clearly have the same sense of style – we recently featured them rocking the Martin Grant Flat Snake Chain Necklace, and now they’ve both been spotted wearing the Pleasure Doing Business Pinstripe 3 Band Skirt. And it’s easy to see why – this second-skin silhouette creates curves even if you don’t have them, and embraces...  Read More..
