    Influential International Style: M.I.A.

    image

    Mathangi "Maya" Arulpragasam broke into the music scene in 2004 and is simply impossible to forget, because of her lyrics, both catchy and intense ("All I wanna do is... BANG BANG BANG BANG"), and her unique style. M.I.A. seems to take style inspiration from all areas of her life - whether it's her love of prints coming from her past as a graphic designer, or drawing a love of dyeing techniques from her Sri Lankan decent. Her style is incredibly unique - and she puts things together the way no one else would, with a surprising mix of color, crazy textures and a great love of neon and shiny material. To get even close to M.I.A.'s signature style, you'll have to mix it up - bold bangles with loose-fitting neon shirts over shiny leggings with some bright kicks. Top it off with a hat and you're on your way. Check out my slideshow for some great ideas on how to get started incorporating M.I.A.'s look in to your personal style!

    It's not just about colored tights this fall. Pick up a pair of colorful patterned tights with cute stripes, hearts, and lines. I love these V Stripe Light Nylon Tights ($14 at Urban Outfitters) and these All Over Heart Tights ($16 at Topshop). It's a great way to bring some fun to your wardrobe.

    Video Style Steal: Alicia Keys Is Sad But Sultry In "Doesn't ...

    Alicia Keys has quite a lot of success under her belt for a woman at 28 (but then again, what else would you expect from a girl who was accepted into Columbia when she was 16?), with her shelf full of Grammy awards and four chart-topping studio albums. Aside from her musical growth (and ascending movie career), we've also seen quite a progression in her hairdo -- from neat braids to unruly curls and now sleek and straight in her latest video, "Doesn't Mean Anything." But her hair isn't the only thing that's polished and chic. In a sparkly tunic, Alicia is classy as usual, and while she may be mournful and lonely in the video, I know I'd be much more cheerful if I had a hot pair of stiletto boots like hers! Check the slideshow to see some Alicia-inspired looks from her latest hit vid.

    Hot Leggings For Fall's Cold Weather

    Why not add a whole new meaning to the term "hot pants?" Most of the time, all we ask of our leggings is that they're comfortable and versatile enough to throw underneath our favorite tops. When the colder weather strikes, however, we need a lil' something extra if we plan on leaving the house. The blustery winds can be enough to make you want to wear nothing but sweats, but the change of season doesn't mean you need to sacrifice looking cute in order to stay warm. Whether you're sick of them or not, leggings aren't going anywhere soon, so while that's more than we can say about summer, we've got some cold-weather safe picks to add to your legging collection Heavier fabrics from jeans and sweater materials to velvet and suede are one way to keep your tush toasty. And don't underestimate simple additions such as patches, zips and buttons to give your garment just a little something extra when facing the fall. Regardless of temperature, any of this season's takes on the now-staple, skin-tight classic are bound to make you look hot: it's not about the warmth your leggings will bring you this upcoming season -- it's about the heat the new season will bring to your leggings to make you look hotter than ever!

    The fancier, the better seems to be the trend for legwear these days. From crazy colors to hearts and polka dots and even floral print and bedazzled, tights are anything but basic black. House of Holland, most famous for their oversized logo slogan tees, has collaborated with the hosiery line Pretty Polly and came up with some crazy ones at a really great price (10 GBP or about 15 USD). They have already been spotted on it girl Alexa Chung and singer Little Boots. The kooky line of legwear comes in four "look at me" shades and five different designs that range from a sheer "alphabetights" motif to a cheeky take on stockings with the "mock stock." The major hit from the line? The color blocked tights that are right off of Holland's Pantone-inspired runway show. Going from opaque to sheer in bold color blocks, they're available in basic black or blue, pink, green and lilac for the more adventurous. As if these could get any cooler, each pair comes in a little House of Holland paper coffee cup! Get them before they sell out at www.mytights.com or www.johnlewis.com.
