I’ll Have What She’s Having: Lindsay Lohan in structured leather and baggy denim

While we're not self-professed Lindsay Lohan watchers here, I do love the way she's paired a very sculpted and structured leather jacket with soft jeans. I think you should take note too! Here we have Lindsey Lohan wearing Recession Denim Gypsy pants with a structured leather jacket in NYC. LL is walking alongside Recession denim designer, Danialla Siri and toting her blue jean Hermes Birkin bag, along with a few more pairs in hand from the Recession denim line-- looks like a fruitful meeting! But what we do love-- and think that you should know about-- is the way a very structured and sculpted leather jacket looks so right when paired with loose-fitting, wide leg jeans. The contrast of a

Curvy jeans with style…

Is having a womanly figure a curse for a flattering fit in jeans? I like to consider myself as stylish and pretty cool but when it comes to finding curvy jeans that fit my hourglass figure, it's out of the park on styles that will actually pull up over my hips and not gap around my midsection. Every time I go jeans shopping, I get more and more depressed as nothing ever fits me and I feel like a freak. I am otherwise a pretty much "normal" size 8 in every other piece of clothing and stand 5'6" tall. If I find jeans for curvy figures, the styles are so dated that I feel like I've aged 10 years with

Hometown Style: The 90’s Are Back in Los Angeles, fashion that is!

Volcom Does Not Disappoint … There's a breath of fresh air to the LA scene thanks to the true fashion feast in store at the launch of Volcom's new denim collection, The event was held at the LA Volcom store and hosted by NYLON Magazine. The looks were a combination of 90’s grunge and 50’s greaser with tomboy pieces mixed in. My favorite pieces had to be the shoulder studded jean vest, the cream studded motorcycle jacket, and of course the tie-dye skinnys. Stud details were everywhere from jackets, to jeans, to shoes and really added that tough ‘Tank Girl’ vibe. Colored denim also made a huge appearance with cropped vintage wash vests and lightweight striped skinny jeans. The denim

NY Fashion Week: William Rast fashion show review

William Rast | Runway Fall 2009 Collection-Mercedes Benz Fashion Week… Yet another designer going with the rock ‘n roll theme– this time via Justin Timberlake– but this so far has been my favorite interpretation. Yes we are feeling the 80’s, yes we are feeling the punk rock, but in addition we are feeling the grunge / hipster vibe which helps to tone it down a bit and gives a sort of all American look. First off the William Rast collection is 70% denim which I love! Denim with studs, denim with fringe, denim with black lace, black denim with zippers…..it’s never ending how it got all tricked up. But tricked up so it does not look ridiculous, nearly every piece

Divalicious Fashion Advice with a Twang…

Ask a Gay Man Divalicious Fashion Advice with a Twang. Ask a Gay Man fashion videos by William Sledd on YouTube. William Sledd was probably playing with Pound Puppies (oh, is that a Versace dog collar?!) when I was starting out as a stylist. And almost from the get go of my style career, fabulousness all aside, I felt that fashion really wasn't connecting to the everyday person as frankly as it could. That's why I started my syndicated fashion advice column and then, eventually this web site, but you should know my pedigree by now and my need to keep it real. Only yesterday, I was glancing at a fairly mass-appeal ‘fashion' column which offered some double duh, lightbulb-popping
