Be ahead of the curve. When looking for an impressive look that's stepping outside the box, you need not look further than the collections of Geren Ford. Gaining inspiration from her travels and the surrounding art world, her designs mimic the beauty she sees. This designer blends classic style with fashion forward edge. I think the reason Ford has such great balance in her designs comes from her childhood which was split between living in New York and Southern California, gaining both East and West Coast style. Geren Ford has created a unique blend of clothing that holds on to what it means to be a woman without sacrificing individuality. I'm in love with her latest Fall collection. The colors are all deeply rich - they just take your breath away. Ford stands by her philosophy of "subtle yet sophisticated design" and it really shows. You'll definitely stand out in these designs. The only difficult part will be deciding which pieces to choose!

Heidi Cornell's LA-based brand Young, Fabulous, & Broke proves that there isn't much in a brand's name, really. After all, while her most notable clientele are certainly young and fabulous, they're definitely not broke, and if they were they definitely wouldn't be indulging in the brand's high-end takes on comfy basics! With young Hollywood starlets like Megan Fox, Blake Lively, and Sophia Bush who rely on YFB for their everyday go-to tees, tanks, cardigans, loungewear, and casual coffee date digs, Heidi and her YFB crew are hardly broke either, but show that everyday LA style is about being laid-back and feeling comfortable while still looking like a million bucks with form-flattering fits and fabrics, and vibrant fun colors that won't make you look like you just rolled out of bed. For a glimpse at the latest summer collection, check out the slideshow!
