    Cozy Up In Tweed Clothing And Accessories That Aren't So ...

    There's something about tweed that undeniably conjures up images of wintertime coziness... not to mention old-fashioned office attire and your grandma's go-to outfit for Sunday brunch. The good news is, however, that tweed has been updated to suit the styles of modern trends -- from platform pumps to boyfriend blazers -- and has expanded beyond its traditional use in plain ol' pea coats and conservative skirt suits. The great thing about the fabric is its ability to makes items still look office-appropriate without appearing stuffy, yet it can also be dressed up with metallic details for a night out, or thrown on last minute for an upgrade of your usual "just rolled outta bed" look. For some wintry-warm tweed pieces that are still totally on-trend, check out the slideshow!

    Jenni Kayne is best known for her classically chic pieces that are a perfect fusion of wearability and edge. For Fall '09, she added some nerdy touches to her designs, including large rimmed glasses, menswear inspired pants, and boyfriend blazers that look oh-so-cool and perfect for fall. A loose fitting leather mini skirt paired with opaque tights is sexy enough for night, yet the roomy fit and the covered legs make it totally day appropriate as well! Pair the skirt with a bone colored draped tee and a black boyfriend blazer when the winter chill starts to roll in for the perfect sexy nerd look. The final touches? A large wooden bead necklace and some totally sexy nerd round-framed spectacles. Check out the slideshow to see how to get the look yourself!

    Blake Lively is one of the most stylish starlets in Tinseltown -- and she doesn't work with a personal stylist. The outfit she recently wore to QVC's Super Saturday charity shopping event in the Hamptons was molto bene and perfect for a breezy summer day. Blake paired a form-fitting white mini by Herve Leger with a tailored blue-and-white-striped Oxford, and the classic preppiness of the shirt balanced the raciness of the eensie-weensie skirt. She finished the look with a pair of brown patent round-toe pumps and a long chain necklace. Here's how you can get her look for way less, courtesy of Lemondrop!


    1. Elizabeth and James Schoolboy Shirt: This menswear-inspired shirt features ruched sleeves and back buttons to keep it looking fitted, not boxy. $264
    2. Forever 21 Cut Off Denim Skirt: A crisp white skirt like this can be worn to a daytime BBQ or as an impromptu beach cover-up. $20
    3. Matisse Pump: A thick wooden heel and shiny patent upper combine to make this pump a true eye-catcher. $42
    4. Sequin Long Chain Necklace: Add some funky style to a more classic look with a fun, tiered chain necklace like this gorgeous silver version. $40

    Our Favorite Mini Skirts For Mini Budgets

    Hemlines are getting shorter, but so is the distance that my dollar will go! I love mini skirts because they're sexy and feminine and make legs look a million miles long. High-waisted minis are a sophisticated spin on a classic, and micro-minis flaunt it with no apologies. Crazy patterns and eye-popping colors make a unique statement while denim versions are youthful and classic. Mini skirts are not only totally hot and super femme, but they're also incredibly versatile. Throw on a casual tee and some cute flats or sandals for a laid back, girl-next-door feel, or vamp it up with a daring top and sexy stilettos and watch those heads turn! Worried about the cooler weather coming your way? A pair of opaque tights or funky leggings are all you need. Be a real trendsetter and pair it with sexy thigh-high socks and a sweater for added warmth! With all these great mini skirts to choose from and the endless possibilities of mix and matching, it's hard to choose just one to add to your repertoire. Check out the slideshow to see some minis that are easy on the eye and even easier on the wallet!

    Leather Skirts for Fall from DvF and 3.1 Phillip Lim

    I saw a leather miniskirt while shopping the other day and was instantly drawn to it, but instantly wondered if I could pull it off. I decided against it, but then-- while perusing the fashion pages later-- I came across a couple of gems which helps to quell my fears of leather. I love the pleated leather mini from 3.1 Phillip Lim; it is a take on the popular skater skirt silhouette. I plan to pair it with black tights and it will look great with platform ankle booties too. Another leather skirt that caught my eye is this leather pencil skirt from Diane von Furstenberg. It works perfectly for the office as well as for after work cocktails when paired with classic leather pumps.

    High, Low: Vintage Fashionistas Test The Hemline Theory

    Why bother with all those boring financial indicators to predict the stock market's performance when you can just look at women's hemlines? The Hemline Theory says that when skirts are high, the market performs well, and when skirts are long, well, prepare for new lows. Silly? Perhaps. But it's as valid as whatever methods those CNBC pundits are using to predict what's going to happen -- they're less accurate than weathermen! And on the off chance that there is something to this Hemline Theory, perhaps we women can help things along and do our part to rescue the DJIA with our fashion choices. Even if you don't raise stock prices, you'll certainly raise eyebrows (in a good way!) when you sport one of these fab vintage mini dresses. Just click the slideshow to see the selection!
