    New York Fashion Week Runway: Yigal Azrouel Makes Way For ...

    image
    Anna Yu on Feb 19, 2009 5:18 PM PST
    Israeli-born Yigal Azrouel is known for his signature body hugging silhouettes that make any woman feel sexy and sophisticated. His Fall 2009 collection is no different, but with a tougher edge. From legging-like leather stovepipe pants to effortless draped jersey dresses with exposed zippers and pin-studded handbags and pumps, Azrouel walked the line between edgy and feminine. One of my favorite looks was an all black ensemble with a sleeveless leather-like shirt paired with pencil skirt made of leather paillettes. Azrouel collaborated with jewelry Pamela Love who contributed claw earrings, leather and beaded cuffs, and cage rings. Beauty looks to emulate next fall include sleek hair (no flyaways or split ends in sight!) and extreme smoky charcoal eyes with nude lips. To see more looks from Yigal Azrouel's collection, click the slideshow.

    Brave The Elements In A Cozy Chic Scarf!

    Thank God it's cold outside! This gives me a chance to rummage through my collection of scarves and wrap one around my neck to protect me from the elements. In fact, whenever it's just a bit brisk out, I bust out one of my scarves just so I can wear it. There's just something about a long piece of fabric wrapped around my neck that makes me feel so chic and refined. I especially like thick scarves €“ like that chunky Maison Martin Margiela knit masterpiece. If you want something a little more subdued, Gap is always a good resource for the classic stripes and American Eagle has this snazzy, modernized fair isle number. For all you stylish Che Guevara t-shirt wearing radicals out there, try the Psycho Bunny Beatles Revolution scarf on for size (it's cashmere so you will feel extra fancy). But if you really want something adventurous you can pay a visit to Hogwarts School of Wizardry for a nice souvenir Gryffindor scarf, perfect for a round of Quidditch. Okay, just joking. Here are some other scarves to keep you warm.

    While a t-shirt with a lightweight scarf is undoubtedly a cute look, it may be time to pull out the heavier scarves in some colder climates. A warm scarf can actually be great gift for the holidays this winter - it's useful, fashionable, versatile, and one size fits all! And these days, scarves are definitely not boring. They come in all sorts of unexpected manifestations! Check out this faux fur neck warmer from Banana Republic and this Alexander Wang blazer with attached scarf. You can even find them with hoods or hats attached or with pockets! For a classic and luxurious version, try a Burberry check, a Missoni, a Loro Piana, or anything cashmere. Check out our picks in the SLIDESHOW, and give someone a scarf this holiday season!

    Beanies For The Boys

    I shave my head every two weeks, so with the winter season coming into full swing, you know I am always looking for something to keep my head of stubble warm. Like a baby, I have my favorite security beanie. Even though it is on its last leg, I refuse to get rid of the reversible (it's black on one side and argyle on the other) head warmer. But alas, I think it may be time for me (and you) to invest in a nice beanie. Sure, a solid colored one is safe, but why not go for something a little bit more adventurous? A chunky knit beanie lets off a "just like grandma used to make" vibe, while a head-hugging knit cap with an oversized logo is street-chic and whimsical. No matter you decide, pick one that is not only versatile, but matches your personality. P.S. €“ Check out the Humping Moose Peruvian Beanie from Urban Outfitters €“ that's for all you shameless freaky people out there.

    Our Favorite Couch Potato-Approved Blankets And Throws!

    Lisanne Silverman on Nov 25, 2008 4:09 PM PST
    It's finally getting cold in San Francisco, and I plan on using the suddenly season-appropriate weather to my advantage. And while actually having a decent excuse for skipping out on a morning run due to impending rain is probably causing an irrational level of excitement as it is, it's the idea of staying indoors and drinking hot cocoa with marshmallows three times a day (Sugar Free Swiss Miss, I am forever indebted to you) that's really making me appreciate the weather. Since there's really nothing better than spending a chilly day curled up on the couch with your favorite book, DVD, person, or bottle of wine (in the evening, of course), I've put together an assortment of cozy blankets and throws that will make those moments even more irresistible! I'm especially drawn to the cable knit throws that luxury knitwear label Lutz & Patmos created in collaboration with West Elm- imagine your favorite oversized sweater made even bigger- then imagine sleeping in it. Might want to have these gift wrapped when you order them so your potential holiday gifts don't fall victim to a love at first snuggle situation! Check out the slideshow for my favorites.

    Going Ice Skating? Check Out Our Outfit Ideas!

    What better way to enjoy the cold and make a fool of yourself than to grab your silliest friends and go ice skating?! And just so you don't have to think about anything else besides having fun, here are some wardrobe must-haves for your next winter jaunt to the rink (or pond). First of all, don't wear jeans. If you fall, they'll just get heavy, wet, and uncomfortable. Instead, throw on this pair of slim black pants with stretch by J.Crew. On top, layers are key. Grab something like this lightweight turtleneck by James Perse, and bring a hoodie, a fleece, or a jacket like this parka from Adidas by Stella McCartney. Since most ice skates have little padding, don't forget some heavy socks - check out these "fleece welly" socks by the maker of the original rain boots, Hunter. Gloves are also not a bad idea if you plan on falling a lot - i.e. making the most of your experience! Try on these candy-colored J.Crew colorblock gloves in a wool/cashmere blend. Now I can't wait to get out there! Don't miss the SLIDESHOW of these great ice skating fashion finds!
