LSPR Staff Style Tips: November

Whether you’re bracing yourselves for winter storms on the east coast or perfecting your layering skills for warm sunny days transitioning to chilly nights on the west coast, we look to our favorite stylish starlets for inspiration on what to wear this month.  
 

Back to the 1960s – Taylor Swift in Contrarian New York
A-line dresses, cocoon coats, modest frocks... Runways this fall season were filled with 1960s-inspired styles and our favorite fashionistas are already rocking the trend on the red carpet. Taylor Swift, sporting a glittery nude Contrarian dress with a bow detail and matching pumps, looked just as sweet as her new perfume at the launch event for Wonderstruck. Her last touch of retro glam? Old Hollywood hair-do and bright red lipstick with a hint of pink.

Rock colored denim- Cameron Diaz and Alexa Chung
Want to add color to your wardrobe in a playful edgy way?  Colored denim is the way to go, as it is one of falls biggest trends.  Colored denim can make an outfit pop with your everyday pieces. Every star in Hollywood is rocking this trend and Cameron Diaz and Alexa Chung are doing it in two different ways. Cameron Diaz wears her light pink jeans perfectly with her beige blazer and sandals for a casual look.  You can also rock it out like Alexa Chung did with her burgundy denim, polka dot top, black ankle boots and blazer. I know every girl can incorporate this trend into their wardrobe and make it their own, which I believe is the best part about this new fall look.

Mix Prints and Colors This Month – Solange Knowles
For brunch at your favorite breakfast spot on the weekend or a day shopping with friends, this fall don’t be afraid to mix and match print and color. Solange Knowles paired a fun leopard jacket with a tan and black dotted blouse and a pink leopard skirt for a morning out in Brooklyn. To complement the look she paired the ensemble with a wonderful pair of pink metallic pumps, funky shades, and a red satchel. This outfit should inspire everyone to dress fearlessly this winter. Instead of wearing your perfectly matched outfit go outside the box, and rock an assortment of prints and colors. Even on those days when the gloomy, cold weather may get your spirits down, be adventurous while keeping yourself warm and happy just like our favorite Knowles sister.

Fur Frenzy- Victoria Justice in LOFT
Faux fur is making a comeback this winter and everyone is joining in. Victoria Justice rocked this faux fur LOFT cheetah jacket with a pair of red-hot skinny jeans and black knee high boots for an autograph signing in Berlin. Other stars such as Selena Gomez and Ke$ha are also loving the fur look. Whether it’s with a jacket, vest or scarf adding faux fur to an outfit can make it exciting and current.

Haute Dots – Emma Stone in Luca Luca
Polka dots were a major trend on the runways last season and while I love the look on ‘50s style frocks and tie-front blouses (I just picked up an awesome one at H&M!), Emma Stone has taken the print to new heights in this gorgeous gown.  This has been one of my favorite red carpet looks all year.
