Runway Inspiration: Embellished Tights

I have never met an embellishment I didn't like. From loads of crystals on a plain old tee to a fully jewel-encrusted mini dress, I'm definitely guilty of loving all things sparkly and shiny. As if the jeweled trend couldn't get any more popular, we now have bedazzled legwear. Armani and Miu Miu gave us socks and Doo.Ri, Ungaro and Zac Posen showed tights that were beaded, jeweled and printed to perfection. They're a great way to upgrade some of your already stellar fall looks with a rather small investment (this is, unless you've got your sights set on the pair shown at Miu Miu... those will set you back $435). Cynthia Rowley makes a great pair of jewel encrusted black ones, or if you're feeling a little rock 'n roll, a pair covered in studs. Or check out Coco Rosa's blog for DIY tips and check out her etsy shop. Check out the slideshow to see all the fancy legwear you'll need this winter.
LimeLife Dubs Lindsay Lohan's First Show A Fashion Fail

What? Too harsh? Don't tell us... we're not the ones judging her. After Lindsay Lohan's first fashion show for her new line at Ungaro, the critics are weighing in. And they don't have very many nice things to say. We knew from the start that it was probably a mistake for Emanuel Ungaro to hire Lindsay Lohan as a fashion consultant. Sure, we think Lindsay can look great from time to time, but a wardrobe full of leggings does not a fashionista make. She recently had her first fashion show with the house, and if you were to talk to her, you'd think the show was a huge success. Lindsay said it was "certainly more than I could have imagined, more than I'd ever hoped for... I couldn't be happier." Really? She couldn't be happier? Because if you were to talk to fashion critics, it would seem like Lindsay could have been a whole lot happier after that first fashion show. In fact, Women's Wear Daily called Lindsay's line "an embarrassment." And the Washington Post called the show "a cynical fiasco." Everyone seems to be in agreement that the show was a disaster. The line, which consisted of a lot of fuchsia and bright orange, didn't impress anyone. Lindsay called the fashion show "pretty much a fairytale," but it sounds like one of those fairytales with a really bad ending to us. We wonder where this leaves Lindsay now. Will she stay on as a consultant at Ungaro or will they get rid of her fast? Let us know your thoughts in comments, then get more celebrity and fashion news from our friends at LimeLife!
