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

    Alex Gambardella on Oct 24, 2009 9:25 AM PDT
    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!

    Bib Necklaces: Definitely Not Child's Play

    Bib necklaces have been around for many seasons now, but it seemed like the Fall 2009 runways like Marni, Marc Jacobs, and Dior were filled with these eye catching necklaces. And who could forget the amazing Fred Leighton bib necklace Amy Adams wore at the 2009 Academy Awards! Bib necklaces can be found in all shapes and sizes so it's easy to find one that can match your mood or personality. While I've found some in the $800 range at Saks, there are plenty of under $100 options that make this trend totally accessible. The Stellae Necklace is a subtle and bling-less take on the bib necklace, or you can go all out with the Jet/Crystal Bib Necklace. Wear your bib necklace when it's just a jeans and t-shirt day for a touch of glamour or with a strapless gown for maximum impact. Take a look at my slideshow for more showstopping bib necklaces, and remember, these won't help when you're enjoying your lobster!

    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!

    Fake Diamonds for the Elizabeth Taylor in You!

    Diamonds, of course, are a girl's best friend. But in this economy, who has the money to go out and drop some serious cash on a rock? Enter the world of lovely costume jewelry. Oversized faux diamonds are fun, cheap and look great with anything from an evening dress to jeans and a t-shirt! I love the "Big As A House" diamond ring from Fred Flare -- only $9 and makes a huge impact! For something a bit more vintage, what about the tea party ring from Banana Republic? Its vintage cut and mix of materials send a perfect mix of "this is an heirloom" and "this is fabulous." Check out my slideshow for other lovely faux diamonds!

    Forever21 Twist Presents Limited-Edition Cirque 21 Collection

    Forever21 clothes are the fashion equivalent of a summer fling. The outcome is always the same: I fall hard for an item and before I know it (approximately two months later), it's gone-- chalk it up to less than satisfactory handiwork or perhaps neglect in the form of not taking it out to the dry cleaners (but why do that when you can Febreeze?). Even so, I find myself clicking over to the Forever21 website to scope out potential future heartbreaks. The latest thing to catch my eye? Forever 21 Twist: Cirque 21, a limited-edition collection of big top-inspired looks that will be available in stores and online starting Wednesday, July 29. Think stripes, poufy dresses, cropped jackets, and lots of tulle. There's no word on future Twist collections, and this one's really just not my type, but one thing's for sure- I know I'll be coming back for more. I just can't help myself.

    Casual But Chic Camp Shirts Are A Summer Staple

    This summer, camp shirts are popping up all over the place, from the traditional structured styles to sheer, more billowy ones. They have a collar and most are button-down, so tuck them into a great pair of wide-leg linen pants and throw on a pair of pumps to be office ready! Change into a flirty skirt and wedge sandals, or some skinny jeans and peep-toe stilettos and you'll look chic and fresh for any after-hours plans you may have. Very comfortable, completely versatile and sweetly sexy in that borrowed-from-the-boys kind of way, camp shirts are the perfect summer staple. They can even double as swim cover-ups! Check out the slideshow for some of my favorites from designers like Modern Amusement, Rag & Bone, American Eagle, and more!
