  Sequins Finally See The Light Of Day!

  

  Alex Gambardella on Jul 16, 2009 2:17 PM PDT
  

  Maybe I'm easily distracted, but I'm just naturally drawn to sparkle. All a shirt needs is to be bedazzled in sequins, twinkling at me from its hanger, and I'm instantly a sucker! So you can imagine my delight when I started noticing that the flashy sewn-on embellishments, once reserved for dressy nights out on the town and mermaid costumes, are becoming increasingly wearable for all hours of the day, showing up on summery dresses, floaty tunics, and even casual cropped vests. I guess someone finally came to their senses and realized that daytime is the time to get the most sparkle from their shiny sun-reflective surfaces! So don't worry about feeling like a disco ball -- indulge in your love of sparkle, whether just with a shimmery neckline or a fully sparkled sheath, and get your shine on all day long with some of my favorite pieces in the slideshow!

  Hive 5: Retro Roller Rink Looks

  

  Lisanne Silverman on Aug 6, 2008 7:18 PM PDT
  

  As a kid, a trip to the roller rink meant two things: an excuse to eat Now 'N Laters (stashed in my fanny pack, no less) and the unavoidable counting of the bruises upon returning home from hours upon hours of making friends with the pavement. Nowadays, it's taken on a different meaning as the perfect setting for getting decked out in all of those quirky, retro little pieces you can't seem to get away with anywhere else. Had to have those sequined shorts for a reason, didn't you? Show them off along with your moves as you make your way around the rink, or bring back the 80s with an off-the-shoulder sweatshirt top for the ultimate in casual cool. Either way, you can't go wrong, and at the very least, you'll be remembered for something other than the time you spent hugging the floor. Check out my SLIDESHOW for five roller rink-ready looks!

  Style Steal: Get Michelle Obama's Image-Softening Look

  

  Sabrina Newman on Jun 19, 2008 12:16 PM PDT
  

  Acing a gab-fest with the ladies of The View is no easy feat, but potential first-lady Michelle Obama passed with flying colors, sparking headlines on account of her stellar co-host stint left and right! On yesterday's show, Michelle defended her patriotism, balanced talk about serious political issues with lighthearted subjects such as her aversion to pantyhose, and established herself as a budding fashion-trendsetter. Michelle sported a black and white leaf-print tank dress by Donna Ricco which she picked up at White House Black Market on Fifth Ave, saying, "It's fun to look pretty." Immediately after her appearance, the store noted a significant spike in requests for the dress, looks like we may have another Jackie O on our hands! A graphic black and white dress like the one worn by Michelle is a great alternative to the ubiquitous LBD, its fun, playful, and versatile enough to dress up or down to suit any occasion. Naturally, the exact dress worn by Michelle is already sold out. However, check out my SLIDESHOW for similar styles.

  The days of pink signifying youthful innocence are over. This season, designers have turned up the voltage, taking pink from pretty to powerhouse. Powerhouse pink is a happy medium between the sweet innocence of pale pink and the overt sex-appeal of radiant red, and has a vibrant energy which exudes confidence and fun.

  Skinny In a Sec: Light Shades From Head To Toe

  

  Sabrina Newman on Apr 29, 2008 4:16 PM PDT
  

  While your body may stay the same, the clothes you put on it can instantly add or subtract 5-10 pounds, which is why learning how to flatter your figure is an essential fashion skill. A super easy way to look slimmer just by getting dressed is to go head-to-toe in a single shade (varying shades of a single color will also work). When you dress in contrasting shades, the eye sees blocks of color that can make you appear heavier and shorter. Dressing in a single shade, however, creates an optical illusion of added length and evened out proportions. Click READ MORE to see how Portia, Jessica, and Lindsay did it!
