Nice Stems

Get a leg up with new leggings

It's the details of these slinky Olivia Leggings by Nightcap that make them so covetable - ruched bottoms, ribbed pattern, and foldover band. Wear them with a funky tee and flats or boots for daytime downtown, then swap a sexy top and killer heels for a night out.

Do a pirouette or two when you're channeling a prima ballerina in these sublty sexy Suh-Tahn mesh leggings.

Mic Jagger would be jealous if he spotted you in these bad ass glossy snap leggings from La Rok. Tip: Break a sweat rockin out in these babies and you may be on a mission for baby powder to get them back on.

LnA's zipper leggings are a mega hit with celebrities and will be with you too when you see the darling gold zippers and sensational smoothing effect.

Not your grandmother's lace. Add some texture to an otherwise conservative outfit with Kova & T's Lace Leggings.

You'll be swimming in compliments if you add Members Only Liquid Fold Over Leggings to your ensemble. I like them best with an relaxed tee and fetish footwear.

Gonna see my picture on the cover

...well not the cover of Rolling Stone, even better...
This Elle UK cover of Sienna Miller for the July issue is absolutely gorgeous. I want to copy everything! Her nail polish has been bloody hell to find as the mag gives no credit to the one that was used for the shoot. But you don't have to get your knickers in a bunch because I've sussed out a couple of options.
Lippmann Collection's Hit Me With Your Best Shot is a glistening gunmetal color and was created by Pat Benatar. Groovy! This little bottle of rock'n'roll doesn't come cheap though- more than £8.
For us recessionistas, Essie has a wicked shade too. Over The Top is a dramatic metallic midnight grey and only around £4.
As for those tats, I think I'll stop being a copycat nutter there (mum would kick the bucket!).
Cheerio darling

Favorite Off-Runway Looks Fashion Week S09

Diane Kruger is always best dressed in my book. She plays perfection in her front row ensemble of a plaid tie-neck blouse, radiant makeup and those killer over the knee boots.

This simple mix of black on black, subdued hair, and statement heels has a certain je ne sais quois.

Love the cozy cafe sweater, sloucy bag, and pop of purple from the shoes.

Oversized boyfriend denim + white tank + leather jacket = cool concert attire for Prps/MGMT afterparty. Her belt, necklace, and shoes really take it up a notch.

Gladiator sandals, liquid leggings, and a scarf- is this model fresh off the plane from LA? Maybe that's why I love it so

Can't get enough of that rolled boyfriend jean! Great contrast to the structured jacket and bag.

In Check

Plaid is the trend du jour and will be even stronger this fall. Although it does conjure up memories of more than a decade wearing a catholic school girl uniform, I'm sill lovin today's take on plaid because it's easy, affordable, and very versatile.

(Kate Moss, Sienna Miller)

Wear an oversized button down as grungy outerwear or opt for a polished look with a slimfit top, skinny jeans and platforms.

(Lauren Conrad)

Aside from the obvious lumber jack shirts, you can rock some plaid with cute little jumpers, strapless dresses, slim skirts, scarves, structured jackets and even tights (for the super daring).

(Audrina Partridge, Vanessa Hudgens)


(Gap scarf)

The likes of Dolce & Gabbana, See by Chloe, and Elizabeth and James have delicious interpretations but I'd suggest you visit H&M, the Gap (eeek I said it), or Top Shop for pieces easy on your pocket.

(Dolce & Gabbana ad fall 08)


(Top Shop dress)

You really can't beat just stealing your one of your boyfriend's shirts, but if sans bf like me, hit up a vintage store- I found a great little boys shirt for $12!

Mmmmmm...smells like Teen Spirit.
