LSPR Staff Style Tips: February

Check out some trends that you might see some of the LSPR staff rocking this February.



Less is More: Leopard Print --Brittany Snow in Dolce Vita
What once was tacky is now chic.  Leopard print is all the rage right now.  Walk into any store and you will find animal inspired clothing, bags, scarves and shoes.  Always remember the trick with leopard: less is definitely more, which Brittany Snow demonstrated in her Dolce Vita heels.

Glam up a basic LBD with your favorite belt — Kim Kardashian in Gomez-Gracia
I love giving my favorite pieces new life with interesting accessories.  Try adding a belt to your go-to LBD as Kim Kardashian has done here in Gomez-Gracia to freshen up an old fave.  The perfect way to shop your closet for a quick fashion fix!

Incorporate the Fall Military Trend into Your Winter Wardrobe--Jessica Alba in the Veda "Jones" Jacket
Continue to wear the fall military trend through the winter by mixing army green with leather, furs and other fabrics.  Jessica's black ensemble looks chic and effortless with black jeans, boots, and a button up t-shirt.  Her accessories including a crystal necklace, black and gold tone leather handbag, and a fedora add a level of hipness to the simple and classic street look.  Multiple black pieces can be worn without looking to grungy or monotonous by incorporating pops of color, gold tones, and statement jewelry.

Weave Summer-Only Styles Into Your Winter Wardrobe With Tights--Kate Moss
Chilly weather won't stop a true fashionista from from looking chic.  Wearing tights under trendy shorts or a skirt allows you to bring summer styles into your winter outfits.  We've even seen some celebs add colored heels for a more fun, upbeat look.  Either way, tights will keep you warm while giving your outfit an effortless appeal.

Add a Light Leather Jacket To Go From Day To Night--Kate Bosworth in Burberry Prorsum Jacket
Getting dressed in LA in the winter months can be difficult.  It's super hot in the day but for party-goers out at night, a light jacket is definitely in order to keep the chill away.  Luckily, a jacket like Kate Bosworth's, Burberry Prorsum "Aviator" shearling not only adds a bit of warmth but can also help toughen up a daytime dress to create a rock & roll, yet sweet look.

Rock Side Cut-Outs For An Edgy Look--Leighton Meester in Michael Kors
Ladies, skip the cleavage and rock the side cut-out look instead.  Leighton's leather-topped gown looks chic and edgy with her sleek, straight hair.  The side cut-outs give her a sexy element that shows the perfect amount of skin; while her red nails add the perfect touch of color to her fashion-forward ensemble.

Add Bright Colors To Your Winter Wardrobe--Olivia Palermo in Agnona Blazer
Adding colors to a traditional menswear-inspired outfit is the best way to combine the signature minimalism look from the fall season and vivid color palette of the spring season.  Throw on a couple colorful items on top of a classic, neutral-toned combo for a feminine touch.
