THE PLAID COAT






We are crazy about the 60's shape on this plaid coat. The coat is a vintage find but feels so current, especially considering Aquilano Rimondi and Calvin Klein sent similarly shaped coats down their fall runways. Zara also featured a similar coat, which we have been totally eyeing, in their fall collection. Looking ahead, Stella McCartney just featured some major plaid in her pre-fall 2012 collection, so definitely keep plaid in your fashion radar now and going into next fall. Coat and blouse vintage, jeans Urban Outfitters, bag Aldo, booties Marco Santi.

PEOPLE'S CHOICE BRIGHTS

Bright colors were definitely the name of the game at the People's Choice Awards this past week. We've got Ginnifer Goodwin in Roksanda Ilincic, Busy Phillips in Carven, Kristen Bell in Valentino, Whitney Cummings in ASOS,  and finally Emma Stone in Gucci. Do you guys like any of them in particular?
P.S. kinda loved Zachary Levi's look for guys.

CROCHET COLLAR


There have been so many tie-neck, buttoned up blouse looks of late, so when we saw this crochet collared blouse we thought it a lovely alternative. Blouse vintage, jeans Urban Outfitters, belt H&M, heels Nine West.

We love awards season! Yes, we are film buffs and it's fun to see which films and actors are awarded but, seriously people, it is so much fun to watch the red carpet fashion! Here are some of our favorite, modest gowns of the night. From top to bottom: Michelle Williams in Jason Wu, Diane Lane in Reem Acra, Kelly Osbourne (though we aren't endorsing the hair...) in Zac Posen, Nayla Rivera in Vera Wang (thank you, Cristina, for the designer tip!), and Jessica Biel in Elie Saab. Which would you wear?

THE GRANNY PLAID SCARF


Dressing in the winter months for us is all about layers. On those winter days that aren't quite as cold as all the others, why not ditch the coat and layer up a heavy sweater and scarf combo? And who says you can't wear your bootie heels and chain bag with outdoorsy/granny plaid? Not us! (Check out the granny plaid trend here.) We love mixing dressy and casual pieces for an eclectic mix. Our hint for picking the perfect scarf: the bigger, fatter and longer the scarf, the more delux and high end it looks. Double and triple wrap it and you'll feel super cozy. Scarf Nordstrom, sweater Urban Outfitters, top Zara, jeans Forever 21, boots Marco Santi.

MIRANDA KERR





Want to look stylish but hate pulling out all the bells and whistles of a perfectly coordinated and complicated outfit? Then just look to model Miranda Kerr for simple, on trend looks that require relatively few pieces. In fact, most of us probably own most of the pieces Miranda is sporting in these looks (leather trousers aside). So, in a rush or running out the door and feel like there is no time for style? Think again. Next time I'm short on time and drawing a fashion blank I'll pull up these pics and do a little fashion copy catting.
