    Easy Halloween Costume Ideas From American Apparel!

    Love them or hate them, American Apparel is probably one of the best places to get your basics. I wear their t-shirts almost everyday but I generally stay away from their more body-conscious (and body baring!) clothes. However, I've found that Halloween is the best time to let loose and go for something you wouldn't wear on the regular basis. American Apparel has a Halloween costume guide every year that includes old standbys like an aerobics getup, Grecian goddess or cabaret dancer. One idea that really stood out for me was dressing like your grandparents and then I also brought together two costume ideas that are more simple and cost-effective. Go as a figure skater with a short dress and leg warmers or as a Parisian in a striped boatneck shirt, skinny pants, and a beret that's worthy of landing you on our favorite street style websites! Check out my slideshow to see how you can win best Halloween costume by going all American (Apparel).

    American Apparel isn't exactly expensive, but sometimes, shelling out upwards of $20 for a plain t-shirt is too much to handle- even if we know we'll wear it to shreds. But $2 t-shirts? That's an entirely different story! The American Apparel Flea Market is on the road now, and if you're lucky, it's headed to a city near you. Prices start at just $2! That's cheap enough to stock up on an entire rainbow of t-shirts, or perhaps prepare for multiple future DIY projects. The market will be at Arizona State University in Tempe today, San Francisco State University on Tuesday the 15th, and three more cities, spanning through the first week in October. The flea market is just for one day in each city, so we'd recommend getting there early unless you feel like chasing them down on their next stop! See the schedule and details on the left, and tell us... will you be stopping by?

    Shop Fall's Hottest Trend And Dare To Bare With Something Sheer!

    Sheer clothing always evokes a little bit of the '80s and also seems futuristic at the same time. Clothing with sheer insets and panels is usually considered to be a nighttime kind of outfit, but brands and designers like Alexander Wang and Free People have made sheer clothing a great daytime option too! From tops to even denim, it's easy to find this daring trend. For a subtle sheer look, check out the jersey sheath dress by Maggy London which has small sheer insets around the waistline. If you're feeling a little bolder try the boa burnout sweater by 3.1 Phillip Lim (with a nude bandeau bra underneath). Sheer clothing is definitely very sexy so don't overdo it with a head to toe sheer look. Click on over to my slideshow to see how you can incorporate the sheer trend into your wardrobe!

    Don't You Dare Call These Tees Basic!

    We love our basics, we really do... but we'd be lying if we said they were the most exciting things in our closets. Sure, that American Apparel v-neck goes with 18 other outfits (and that's just the grey one) but honestly, it's kind of boring on its own, right? Why not swap out those boring basics with tees that have just a little something extra? Tiny embellishments transform plain tees from reliable standbys to fashionable favorites in their own right, and they're just as versatile as ever. Take this jersey tank from Casual Couture by Green Envelope- from the front, it's a simple, well-cut top, but the back features an exposed zipper that will add a little edge to any outfit. The pearl tee from Sauce is a girly spin on everyone's favorite slouchy pocket tee, and J. Crew's jeweled tissue tee practically has a statement necklace built in and would look perfect paired with everything from scruffy boyfriend jeans to a polished skirt and blazer. See the slideshow for your new favorite basics!

    Pump Up The Stam With V Magazine's Eighties-Inspired Editorial

    Jessica Stam stars in an awesomely eighties-inspired spread in this month's V Magazine, on newsstands tomorrow. The editorial showcases Stam working out in some of fall's hottest looks, with an equally hot trainer, because everyone knows you should never stretch in a Balmain jumpsuit alone. You could pull a thread, or possibly a muscle. Other exercise ensembles include a Marc Jacobs sweater and boots, Adidas by Stella McCartney leggings layered with Chanel leg warmers, and a pair of seriously fierce Louis Vuitton over-the-knee boots that will scare off anyone who may be inclined to steal your spot on the elliptical machine. We're not sure whether we're more motivated to shop or sweat after a peek at the photoshoot, but we'll be getting in our cardio somehow, that's for sure. See the slideshow for a preview of the spread, and be sure to pick up this month's issue of V magazine tomorrow!

    Show Some Skin The Sophisticated Way With A (Semi) Backless Top

    If you've got it, flaunt it, right? Not if you're going to work or school. Or if it's too cold out. Or if flaunting it for the world to see just isn't your thing. So then what? If you don't want to don micro-minis and plunging halter necks, does that mean you're left with super-conservative, matronly garments? Far from it! The woman's back is an alluring area that up until recently was overshadowed by the more outwardly seductive legs, decolletage and derriere. However, as we get more mature, so do our everyday tasks and personal style. I'm still a sucker for a hot mini-skirt, but looking fly is no longer my only concern. A great way to cover all grounds is to uncover your back! Backless tops and dresses are a perfectly elegant and sophisticated way to show off your toned back and effeminate side while still staying appropriate for various occasions! Another bonus? The backless look makes your frame seem leaner and thinner! Check out the slideshow for some sexy, backless favorites!
