I don't know where you're livin' it up, but over here in San Francisco it's not quite summer fling weather. The sun is starting to more steadily make an appearance, but let's face it -- it's not quite time to break out the sundresses and sandals. The solution? Printed leggings! The thin material allows for more breathability than your jeans or stuffy slacks, plus they let you rock your more summery dresses over them with just a tad bit more season-appropriate coverage. But what print is your sign destined to rock this week? Even if you'd normally say "no way" to wild graphic prints made popular by Michael Angel, we're convinced that if you let the stars be your guide, Stylehive's Stylescopes will direct you in the right path to some seriously chic legwear! Check the slideshow for your sign's perfect print!
Influential International Style: M.I.A.

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!
