    Video Style Steal: Carrie Underwood's Boots Walk All Over ...

    Carrie Underwood has come a long way since her "small-town girl with the big voice" image on American Idol. Lucky for that image of hers, she's ditched the demure deer-in-headlights look and swapped it for an assertive attitude to match her sultry voice. I guess a load of confidence is easy to come by when you have a series of hit singles and Chace Crawford as your former arm-candy! Speaking of exes, in her latest video for "Cowboy Casanova," Carrie hits the saloon looking retro-fabulous to warn girls about a bad boy's particularly womanizing ways... and shows him a thing or two! Don't forget -- Halloween is officially in the dust, so don't go full-on saloon girl when you try this look. Instead, stick to inspired pieces like a bustier dress, cute leather booties, and feather accents that only hint at Carrie's costume-y video. Watch the video, and then check out the slideshow to see how you can go western without looking like you stepped out of a time machine.

    How Much Would You Be Willing To Splurge On A Shearling Moto ...

    As the air starts to get chilly and the leather moto jacket trend starts to get a little exhausted, designers are spicing things up -- studs, built-in belts, and of course, fur and shearling-trimmed collars. As any avid shopper knows, not all trendy biker jackets are created equal... so how to choose? Here we break down a few collared options from opposite ends of the cost spectrum, because depending on your budget (or lack thereof) and your insatiable desire for brand names, a suspiciously good steal isn't necessarily the way to go when you want an investment piece, yet spending a month's rent on one wardrobe addition isn't always in the cards either. Forever 21's Fleece Trim Moto Jacket looks perfectly chic, especially with its appealing $34.80 price tag... but of course, it's not real leather and I wouldn't bet my life savings on how long the piece will last you. The Motorcycle Jacket with Faux Fur Trim by Aqua is genuine leather, but is the authentic material worth the extra $265.20? And of course, for those who won't settle for anything less than the best, the Acne Rita 2 Jacket is convertible with its removable collar -- meaning even more possibilities for long-term wearability. But it also comes at a price. A whopping $1130 price. Which moto jacket do you think is the wisest deal? Vote below on whether you'd save, splurge, or go the middle road... or just scrap the trend altogether!

    TheFind Rocks The Fingerless Glove Trend For Fall

    One of the more dramatic trends this fall is the fingerless glove. This trend is part of the glam rocker trend and coordinates well with black skinny jeans, moto jackets and studded accessories. But be careful not to go overboard. Pair fingerless gloves with a leather vest, tee and jeans or with leggings and a faux fur belted vest. These gloves are more for effect than for function, as they will probably not keep hands warm during the snowy season. Some favorites include the frivolous and fun Sparkle Fingerless Gloves by Free People ($38 at Shopbop). These fine knit 15-inch long gloves feature a multicolored metallic sparkle, ruching on the sides and cutouts along the outer side. Aqua's Fingerless Knit Gloves ($45 per pair at Bloomingdales) come in a wide variety of colors to accent your fall wardrobe. Long knit rib cuffs can be worn rolled up or to full length. Carolina Amato's fuchsia Snappy Fingerless Driving Gloves add a fun pop of color and perfectly accent an all-black outfit. Scope out our friends at TheFind for more on the fingerless glove trend, as well as coupon codes to snag a pair for less!

    Stylehive's Stylescopes Help You Beat The Heat With Cool ...

    Inspired by a friend's shiny new pair of Jeffrey Campbell stacked heels in the most refreshing shade of mint, I got to thinking. Who says pastels are only suited for your Easter basket? We tend to associate pastels like eggy yellows and dainty pinks with the early springtime, but what's more summery than a bowl of mint ice cream or a cloudless blue sky or the aqua tint of the ocean on a perfect day at the beach? Creamy cool tones are about as fresh as colors come and are the perfect calming, crisp alternative to obnoxious 90s neons. The stars predict warm weather ahead, so surrender to the the summer spirit and get your hands on some cool-toned pastels! For example, Leos can swap their trusty LBD for a more daring satiny spearmint number and Libras will ditch their old wayfarers for a fun pair of lavender-hued frames. Check the slideshow and see if your sign is destined to don lilac, aqua, or mint!
