LSPR Staff Style Tips: November

LSPR Staff Style Tips: November

Today's 90 degree weather is all too reminiscent of summer, making it difficult to believe fall is upon us. While we stare longingly at the scarves, sweaters and peacoats in our closets, here's a list of which pieces might actually be getting some use this month, despite the lack of cool weather here on the west coast.   

Flights of Fancy — Clea DuVall in Kevan Hall and Berenice Marlowe in Alexander McQueen 
There’s something about a simple silhouette accented by wisps of feathers that sets my heart aflutter.  Argo’s Clea DuVall worked the look at the Hollywood Film Awards in a rose chiffon Kevan Hall gown with feather sleeves, showcasing how the trend can work for black tie occasions.  But it is Bond girl Berenice Marlohe’s Alexander McQueen top that I’m totally crazy for.  I love how she paired the top with simple white trousers and can’t wait to emulate the look for an upcoming holiday function.

New Kicks on the Block -- Kate Bosworth in Isabel Marant 

Wedge sneakers have just fulfilled the dreams of petite women everywhere discretely granting a few precious inches of height. They can be paired with ripped jeans or juxtaposed with flirty dresses and skirts. Kate Bosworth effortlessly captured the trend with a girly pleated maxi and ballerina bun.

Blast from the Past -- Ann Hathaway and Kim Kardashian 

The ‘90’s are back in a major way, bringing with them the reincarnation of some of our favorite fashion trends such as Harem pants.  There is zero risk of sausage leg syndrome this season. These pants not only make you look chic and edgy but with wedges or heels they make your legs look mile-long as well. Pair it with a blazer, cardigan, sheer blouse, or a half leather jacket to make your own stylish outfit!

A Menswear Affair -- Katie Holmes in Stella McCartney

Tuxedo style blazers are a must have for fall. They can easily add class to an outfit and work in a variety of colors. Katie Holmes keeps it simple with a crisp white style, but I also love the look in black, which works great over a flowy dress or with jeans and heels.  Dress it up with costume jewelry or down with a great pair of boots, the tuxedo style blazer is perfect for any occasion.

Skull & Bone – Vanessa Hudgens in Wildfire CoutureThe skull and bone motif has long been a staple in men’s wear but has more recently been trending on young starlets like Vanessa Hudgens, who wore this Wildfox Couture White Label Love Skull Sweater to an event in NYC last month.  The skeletal theme can be both girly and edgy, a perfect fit for Hudgens who has rocked the look before.  The trend has even hit the Paris runway at the Peachoo Krejberg fashion show where the addition of ribcage-shaped harnesses complimented many of their new pieces.
