Michelle’s Style List App Will Let You Dress Exactly Like Michelle Obama

Michelle's Style List App Will Let You Dress Exactly Like Michelle Obama

Is Michelle Obama one of your fashion icons? That’s pretty normal. Michelle Obama does a spectacular job of blending high and low pieces, and integrating some neat pops of color into traditional styles. She’s generally very intelligent about how she presents herself.

So, perhaps you want to do that a bit more yourself! Or perhaps you want to dress exactly like her. Just wear every single outfit she wears, one after the other, and see how long it takes your friends to notice. Maybe they will never notice. More »

Russia Fashion Week Bravely Interprets Fall 2013′s “Holding Your Own Boobs” Trend

Russia Fashion Week Bravely Interprets Fall 2013's "Holding Your Own Boobs" Trend

During the most recent NYFW shows, Marc Jacobs unsurprisingly cast celebrity-progeny-of-the-moment (non-Tali Lennox divison) Lily McMenamy to walk for his Fall 2013 collection. While we were really into the gritty glam-rock aesthetic of the clothes, we couldn’t help but feel McMenamy (daughter of supermodel Kristen McMenamy) was a little jipped.* While she got to don some high-waisted shorts, pumps and fishnet gloves, she didn’t get a single additional piece, and hit the runway holding her own breasts. That’s her up there, in case your powers of deduction are lacking (or you didn’t go to Princeton). More »

Shopping Guide: Acid-Trippy Spring Prints On A Budget

Shopping Guide: Acid-Trippy Spring Prints On A Budget
Full Tilt Floral Legging
Nollie Splatter Floral Legging
Kimchi Blue Palm Print Fold-Over Clutch
'Nomadic Flowers' Skirt
Aldo Foliroli Flat in "Natural"

A few weeks ago, we were walking by a nice boutique in our neighborhood and saw they were in the midst of a huge sale. We walked in and walked out with an amazing pair of trousers–a boyish, sensible cut in an insane print. They’ve been sitting in our closet since, slowly biding their time until the weather warms up.

This is a long way of saying that our hands down favorite warm weather trend will be acid-trip Spring prints–which is a wide category that includes florals and abstract doodles and all manner of bright colors, all of which look a little off… like they’re melting?

Anyway, it’s an awesome look that can easily be achieved for less than our $150 price cap. Just don’t go wearing more than one of these babies at once (unless you want to look like a damn fashion blogger).  More »

If you’ve been paying much attention to the fashion press lately, you probably know all about oxblood. The dark, wine-ish shade of red has been dominating runways for a season or two now, at Gucci, YSL, Valentino, Alexander Wang, Alexander McQueen, Acne, Miu Miu and more (it’s also all over red carpets, especially as beauty). For those of you who can’t go out and drop a few grand on a trend-straddling McQueen frock coat, though, we’ve got a few more affordable options (and some aspirational pieces to oogle too). More »

Jolt Reversible Skinny Jeans
Rag & Bone Arrow Jean

Okay, look: printed jeans (and cords and trousers) are verging on annoying trend territory (maybe not far off trends-that-need-to-die territory) but the fact of the matter is… we love them. We love them a lot. They are surprisingly versatile, incredibly easy to style–a solid color top and cool ankle boots, you say?–and they look so fresh. Which is to say, even if they seem dated in six months, we won’t care because we’ll still be wearing them. Here’s a bunch of good ones, starting at $24.80 and topping out around $400. More »

6 Fashion Mistakes Every Woman Makes

6 Fashion Mistakes Every Woman Makes
Wearing jeans that give you a muffin top
Wearing clothing that is too loose
Dressing like a child
Going orange
Overexposed yourself

We sometimes think of fashion faux pas as being along the lines of “wearing a mesh dress to meet the Pope.” To that I say, “Pope jokes are pretty fun.” But we’re not going to share any here! Instead we’re going to talk about the 6 fashion missteps that every woman has taken at some point, whether in Uggs or not (feel free to share yours). More »
