    Add Some Shape With A Tulip Skirt!

    A lot of brands and designers have been embracing the curves of women with larger hips, and although I think it's great for fashionable clothing to be available for women of all shapes and sizes, what if you have the opposite problem of hips that are too slender or don't help to define your waistline? Tulip skirts are a great way to add a bit of shape and volume to the hip area, perfect for women who struggle with square or small hips. They also help make the legs look longer, and they have a bit of a princess quality about them. Tulip skirts are pretty and feminine, and can really help create the shape you want if you usually have trouble wearing short skirts. I love this satin pleated tulip skirt from Arden B. -- it comes in several colors, and it's only $44. It even has pockets!

    Vintage Fashionistas Savor Gray This Season!

    When searching for vintage clothing online, it's important that you use the right keywords to find what you want. And heaven forbid you're looking for something gray, because well, there's gray (the American spelling) and then there's grey (the British spelling). Of course, since vintage clothing sellers on both sides of the pond spell this color both ways without any sensible rhyme or reason, the wise online vintage shopper knows to plug both spellings into their search engines. If you do, you'll be rewarded with a smorgasbord of vintage treats in this classic, conservative neutral. Try substituting darker charcoal shades of gray for black. Or choose pale shades of gray to take the place of white. Morning, noon or night, for dresses, coats or evening gowns, gray is a fabulous wardrobe choice for a vintage fashionista.

    Get Sophisticated In Peplum Skirts And Dresses

    What do Fergie, Lily Allen, and Rihanna all have in common (besides being famously popular singers)? They've been seen wearing peplum dresses and skirts! If you don't know what a peplum is, it's an addition of a short skirt-like panel over the waist on a dress or skirt. Reminiscent of Dior's "New Look" and also of '80s style, peplum dresses and skirts are feminine looks that accentuate hourglass figures. These days, the peplum combines the best of the retro sensibilities of the '40s along with the youthful exuberance of the '80s. Urban Outfitters gives us a taste of the 80s look with their Tribal Print Peplum Skirt made of one of a kind vintage fabrics. For a more classic look, turn to the Alice + Olivia Multi Gather Peplum Dress in a beautiful red satin that will be sure to turn heads at holiday parties. Take a peek at my slideshow for more peplum skirts and dresses!

    Spaced Out: 10 Finds Inspired By The Moon, Stars, And Beyond

    There's water on the moon! Or, well... there's molecular evidence of its presence. Which doesn't sound nearly as exciting as "water on the moon," but still somehow caused me to launch (ha) into a frenzied search for things trendy, wearable, and above all, covered in rockets. And stars. And planets! Interestingly enough, there were plenty of pieces to suit my craving. Tsumori Chisato's bespeckled tights in cream are so whimsical with their teensy rockets and astronauts, I want to gaze at them all night (instead of staring out of my window). Leifsdottir's silk sky print skirt is adorned with planets and a single ruffle, and would be so perfect with tights and a wool jacket. And the 'Stellae' necklace from Anthropologie satisfies my need for both a statement piece and something out of this world. Not so sure about wearing a galactic getup? Swipe some of Too Faced's Galaxy Glam eyeshadow (Super Nova is my favorite) on your eyelids and take your smoky eye routine from smudged to stellar. See more space-inspired picks in my slideshow!

    New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2010: Mara Hoffman

    Mara Hoffman put on an exceptionally colorful show (along with co-presenters and fellow People's Revolution designers Nicholas K and Whitney Port) on day two of the Spring/Summer 2010 shows at New York Fashion Week. Elegantly draped watercolor maxidresses and super short voluminous minis added variety to the bohemian-inspired collection, which also featured masculine elements like boyfriend blazers and tuxedo jackets. Noteworthy looks included a not quite neon yellow ruched mini paired with a floaty printed top, and a beautifully constructed resort style gown paired with tough-chic gladiator heels. Body-conscious skirts, one-shouldered dresses, and tribally influenced patterns don't seem to be going away anytime soon, but when they look this good, why should they? Click the slideshow to see more from Mara Hoffman at Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week.

    New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2010: Michael Angel

    Aussie designer Michael Angel kicked off the Spring/Summer 2010 shows at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week with a parade of party dresses that provided a feast of color and exotic patterns for its audience. Known for his unique bright prints and innovative cut designs, the designer did not disappoint this season, despite the fact that his signature rainbow leggings were nowhere to be found. Accessorized with flat wrap sandals and bold stone earrings, the models romped the runway in flowing silk wrap dresses and cap-sleeved minis, clearly designed only for those aiming to show off a killer pair of long legs. One particular highlight included a patent leather jacket and silk floral miniskirt combo, reflective of the designer's playful yet feminine take on modern womenswear. Check the slideshow for some highlights straight from the runway!
