LA-based brand Band of Outsiders is most prominently known for making "clothes and other stuff like that." In other words, they're the quintessence of looking effortlessly put-together without appearing pretentious, and consistently provide well-tailored preppy-chic pieces that still manage to give off the unbuttoned casual vibe. Their collection "Boy." has already made a name for itself having been photographed on Leslie Mann and Marisa Tomei, praised by Anna Wintour herself, and even donned by Bella Swan in "New Moon," but the brand never ceases to amaze us with each new wave of season-friendly styles. With tomboy-inspired separates that are both comfy yet perfectly constructed and detailed, the pieces are one part retro-cute, one part nautical, two parts preppy, and unmistakably feminine despite the line's newsboy flavor.

New Moon star Nikki Reed hit the red carpet of the Hamilton Awards looking absolutely dazzling. Sequins are going strong this season and Nikki put her own spin on the look, pairing a gold Nanette Lepore sequined dress with a vintage tuxedo blazer. She added a bit more glitz to the the standout look with diamond bracelets by Dana Rebecca Designs and rounded out the mix with sexy zipper pumps and a sleek clutch (both from Jimmy Choo). This look is perfect for just about any holiday fete, from an office party to a cocktail party. The key thing to remember when rocking something sequined is to keep the rest of the look fairly basic.
