Styles That Mesh Well!

Ida Hsiang on May 21, 2009 4:20 PM PDT

Every time I see mesh clothing, the early 90's song, "I'm too sexy for my ..." starts playing in my head. However, I've been seeing this trend pop up everywhere from little independent boutiques to department stores and designer labels. When one pictures mesh on clothing, it is usually accompanied with leather, chains and possibly hand-cuffs! The new trend is taking over, however, and has found a way to be edgy without being over the top and totally chic and fashion forward without making the wearer feel like George Michael. From casual knit tops to sparkling dresses (and who could forget those hot YSL cage shoes??), mesh is the way to go. Try it in a trendy spring color or floral to make it more versatile and season-appropriate! Check out the slideshow for some ideas that could "mesh" well with your personal style!

Heavy Metal: Chain Necklaces Are Still Hot!

Pauline Montupet on Jan 19, 2009 5:17 AM PST

When it comes to jewelry, especially chains and anything with a rocker edge, I have a tendency to think more is more. Well, apparently I'm not the only one! Layered necklaces have been taken to a whole new level. Givenchy showed about a million little chain necklaces layered over a sleek pantsuit, but these necklaces don't have to be only for your goth moments-- they're perfect for spicing up a regular white t-shirt and jeans or even a prim and proper dress. Throw out the old thinking that you have to take off a piece of jewelry before you leave the house-- instead, add more! Layer on some of your own chains for a heavy metal look, or remix an old chain belt into a necklace. My absolute favorite jewelry designer, Justin Giunta for Subversive Jewelry, does chain necklaces like no one else. These messy, pre-layered necklaces are an amazing mix of chains and found objects that won't weigh you down! Check out the slideshow for options with prices ranging from budget to bank-breaking!

Get The Rough And Tumble Rocker Look On A Recession-Chic Budget!

Anna Yu on Nov 6, 2008 12:22 PM PST

Fashion trends come and go and I'm always hesitant about spending the big bucks on a super-trendy item (like those knee high gladiator boots I only wore once). But just because everyone is keeping their wallets in their bags rather than at the registers these days, it doesn't mean you have to forgo trendy looks all together! One of my favorite trends for fall is the rough and tumble rocker look. It's edgy, yet sophisticated so you'll definitely score some admirers the next time you go out, yet you'll still look tough enough to handle the mean streets. Look to Kate Moss or Rihanna for rockin' style inspiration. Think you'll have to pay an arm and a leg to achieve this look? Guess again! I've created a head-to-toe look and each item is less than $50. So check out my SLIDESHOW for a rockin' outfit that won't break the bank!

Celeb Fashionspiration: Get Nicole Richie's "Dainty Rocker ...

Emily Bache on Jul 17, 2008 6:11 PM PDT

I always come back to Nicole Richie when looking for the perfect ensemble because of her unique way of mixing and matching. I especially loved this look, where the new mommy mixed a demure white tube dress with bold red pumps topped off with a few small accessories and a small silver clutch. Even though Nicole€™s look is very dainty and sweet her shoes add a dose of boldness which brings out her true rocker side. This white dress is the perfect summer party attire, especially if you have beautifully bronzed shoulders and legs. So click my SLIDESHOW to get Nicole's fun look!

Street Style Steel: Get Sarah's "Rocker With Class" Look

Emily Bache on Jul 2, 2008 6:16 AM PDT

Sarah was just returning from a hot dinner date (check out the rose!) when I snapped her for Stylehive's NY Street Style Stylediary. Sarah was sporting a hot rocker chic outfit she put together, pairing an edgy Urban Outfitters graphic tee with cool dark-wash skinny jeans and gorgeous high heel shoes. An outfit that says "Sure I can rock out, but I'm still a lady, so don't get any ideas, Mr. Man!" Perfect for a night of partying in the city, or, in Sarah's case, said date. Check out my SLIDESHOW to get her look!
