I'll Have What She's Having: Clean, grown-up elegance hit the red-carpet for can-do Oscar chic to consider this upcoming wedding and formal season... It wasn't as much as big drama but more of modern elegance when it came to the best of Oscar fashion tonight.

I'm like a crazed bull for this fashion week trend... red boots are all I see & I cannot wait until next fall to get my hands on a pair.

Fugly to some, chic + cool for the rest! The Birkenstock comfort ugly shoe trend is one Spring 2014 runway highlight to take advantage of this season & the next It's all a matter of how you put together this runaround trend. Call it a rerun, but for the moment we're calling it a homerun where comfort is key. And if you were around the first time, we can only imagine your collective gasp at the thought of the Birkenstock sandal, that quintessential 90's era shoe going high fashion. But it's true, they're back, and most importantly maybe not a bad option after years of skyhigh heels dominating the runways. Looking for French Chic style tips? Right this way with

I'll Have What She's Having: The best Emmy style of clean chic red carpet stunners You know that I'm generally not jacked up about red carpet fashion. Too often, it's overdone celebrities wearing costumes that look like they were stolen from a five-year old's fantasy dress up closet. OK, lucky for them that their stylist secured that fancy free dress for the night, but what does that have to do with YOU? There was some of that schmaltz at tonight's 65th Emmy Awards, for sure. But, I'll ignore that. What I don't ignore are the few women who opted for stellar chic and clean lines that didn't wear them. Stunning numbers that stood out in a sea of too much. And isn't

I'll Have What She's Having: Not too hot, not too cold summer boots + how to wear booties off-season I know, I know. It's getting to that time where you want to wear something new but you're still settled in the final days of summer (can you believe how fast it flew by?) and not quite up to investing in more warm weather clothing. Surely, it's still too sunny to think fall. So what to wear? Summer boots, the kind that can transition to fall have your name written all over it! Low heel ankle booties have been on the radar for a few seasons (thank you Isabel Marant & all those Parisian girls), and don't seem to be losing

When I start thinking ahead to my favorite fashion season, rather than going gaga about opulent accents, I think of what would be the best fall wardrobe staples the glue that plays nicely with the rest of my wardrobe. Here, you have it. My style in a nutshell: If I could encapsulate all my go-to timeless fall wardrobe staples over time, it would be iterations of a perfect fitted black turtleneck and a leather flare skirt. Ok, sometimes, it's wool. This look (Norma Rollneck turtleneck, Torre Leather Skirt, Doris Belt) from the J.Brand Fall 2013 Look Book has my name all over it. Why? It's sleek, powerful, strong, ageless, chic, pulled together, urban, and suitable for an hourglass figure as well as to

Ok guys, some of you want to put their peacock feathers on and we have some men's style from Milan, from everyday to avant garde. Spring 2014 Mens Collections saw the city up its ante on style with a dozen or so incredibly strong outings, chock full of inspiration for now. In all, classic tech sport apparel met romanticism for a duality that wasn't unnecessarily intellectual, but instead full of wearable, great items. Think rethought and repurposed sweatshirts, bomber jackets, shorts, and t-shirts that were fresh, and easy on the wear. >>MORE STYLE TIPS: Runway Trend Cheat Sheet Fall 2013 Bomber Jackets- Doubled-up

I have rule around here about never wearing vintage too literally when it's a style that YOU wore in its first fashion outing as it seriously dates you... in other words, makes you look o-l-d. So if you watched I Love Lucy in anything other than a rerun, skip this look. But for the rest of us, why not try a midi-length, flippy & full 50's inspired skirt for some summer dash? It looks great as an airy summer dress or for a big night out. And you know I've been loving this look for awhile.-- S.H.
