    Make A Statement With Architectural Heels

    Move over, "it" bag. For the past couple of seasons, it's been about the "it" shoes-- who could forget the crazy caged booties at YSL, or the futuristic lucite heels at Gianfranco Ferre? All over the Spring/Summer '09 runways it was the outrageous heels that stole the show. Shoes with unique and artistic shaped heels are a great way to try out a more fashion-forward look. While you may not be ready to rock the futuristic, exaggerated shoulders of the Balenciaga and Balmain collections, you can absolutely try an out there shoe. Look for platforms, block heels, cone heels, and beyond- there was no stopping the designers' creativity this season! Update your wedge look with a cut-out like the "Ashley" wedge from Kors by Michael Kors. For a platform look, try a circular heel instead of a traditional stacked heel, like Pour La Victoire's "Felicia" sandal. And don't think this look only works with large clunky shoes. Ladylike shoes get the "look at me" treatment too! Metallic heels are perfect for evening, like Oscar de la Renta's cut away cone heels and Proenza Schouler's silver cut-out heel sandals. Next time you're putting together an outfit, start with a statement shoe and build from there. Check out the slideshow for some shoe inspiration.

    I never thought I would admire and actually be inspired by the style of a 15-year-old until "Gossip Girl" star Taylor Momsen burst onto the scene. Like her character "Jenny" on the hit show, Taylor has undergone a major style transformation and has been showing an affinity for edgy, rocker-chic styles. At the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's Annex NYC grand opening, Taylor rocked it in an embellished dress by reigning king of disheveled cool Alexander Wang, adding a pair of elegant Balenciaga t-strap pumps. A shaggy yet sleek 'do, silver cuff, and embellished bangle were the perfect finishing touches for this good-girl-gone-bad look. The key to this look is always remembering to balance out the rougher details with more refined pieces.

    The classic LBD is a timeless closet staple and go-to choice for women of all shapes and sizes for just about any occasion. The strapless LBD is a take on this signature style that ups the sex appeal quotient significantly, especially when done in a bodycon silhouette. At the Quantum of Solace premiere in New York, Ugly Betty star Becki Newton affirmed this notion to a fabulous effect wearing a Dolce & Gabbana corset dress paired with classic black pumps by Balenciaga. Becki let the killer dress do all the talking with a simple up-do and minimal accessories including a sleek black clutch and chunky Marc Jacobs bracelet. The result was a fabulously chic and super sexy look that was still classy and elegant. With holiday party season on the horizon, it's important to master the art of cocktail-chic, so check out my SLIDESHOW to get Becki's killer look!

    Get Chloe Sevigny's Effortlessly Glam Look!

    Sabrina Newman on Nov 12, 2008 6:22 PM PST
    Whether she's taking eccentricity to the max, giving new meaning to minimalist chic, breaking fashion rules, or abiding by tried and true standards, actress Chloe Sevigny epitomizes what being a fashion-forward trend-setter is all about, so when she wears something, fashion lovers near and far take notice! At the 12th Annual ACE Awards Accessories Council Honors Fashion Influencers in New York, Chloe showed how fabulous a no muss no fuss approach to style can be, wearing a soft sea-foam green mini dress paired with pale strappy sandals, a delicate combo that was given a dose of glamorous edge with a sparkling diamond choker and black crocodile clutch- all by Balenciaga- so much for the theory that wearing one designer head-to-toe is a fashion no-no! This look can easily go from day to night and the dress is one of those perfect pieces that opens the door for countless ensemble options. Check out my SLIDESHOW to replicate this fashion influencer's look!

    Chic Or Treat! 10 Totes Perfect For Holding All That Free Candy

    Lisanne Silverman on Oct 17, 2008 8:23 AM PDT
    It's been said that Halloween is the only day of the year you can wear- or not wear- anything you want, as long as you include one telltale element in your costume- a pair of ears, a tail, a beehive... you get the point. But if you're concerned the other trick or treaters might assume you dress like Amy Winehouse every day, you'll need a trick or treat bag that drives the point home. But forget the plastic pumpkins and pillowcases- just because you take on an alter ego one day a year doesn't mean all style smarts go out the window! That includes the kiddies too, so check out my slideshow of trick or treat totes- some cute, some chic, and all ready to be stuffed to the brim with free candy.
