Trend We Heart: Shop The Full Leather Skirt

Leonora EpsteinSeptember 30, 2009 //

Not since the days of “Pretty Woman” have leather skirts even crossed our minds. Perhaps Cher Horowitz has been the only girl since then to rock one with class. Because otherwise we can only think of Jersey-accented monsters or brain-dead girlfriends of rock gods wearing them. Yet, this ’90s classic has been making a comeback this fall and we like what we see. The garment seems to be fitting in well with the edgier looks on the shelves—you know, asymmetrical lines, lots of black, and a sort of androgynous, Helmut Lang aesthetic. We’re digging the traditional tight-and-straight cut, but what we’re particularly keen on are these leather skirts with more body. They don’t scream s-e-x as much as they do c-u-t-e … Keep reading »

Loving The Matte Nail Trend For Fall

Erin FlahertySeptember 1, 2009 //

Today our Catherine is absolutely rocking the Russian Navy shade from OPI‘s new Matte collection, and I have to say, it looks so right-on especially with fall approaching. The lack of shimmer is sophisticated, and the blue tint is less harsh than that whole black nail look that was so big last year. (Black has moved up to the lipstick category, more on that here.) Anyhoo, OPI isn’t alone on this: Knockout Cosmetics has also come out with Flatte, and we’re definitely crushing on Essie’s sparkle-free Neon line. Luckily, the flat-top hairstyle has shown no signs of showing up again. Keep reading »

Fall Trend Alert: Socks And Pumps!

Leonora EpsteinAugust 19, 2009 //

When it comes to style standards, one thing holds true: There are none. Just when you think you’ve absolutely mastered all the fashion no-nos, the industry can manage to turn around any look. One fashion faux-pas we were certain about was socks with high heels, which seems like the equivalent of guys wearing socks with Teva sandals. But lo and behold, what should we find when browsing the J. Crew new arrivals section, but a whole selection of colorful socks paired with classic pumps and mary janes. The styles come in various heights, including ankle and the more traditional knee-high lengths. Is this controversial old trend new again? The more we poked around, the more we found new sock styles that looked like they were made exactly for such a look.

What do you think? Will you don socks and heels for fall? Check out some other looks after the jump… [$9.50-$24.50, J. Crew] Keep reading »

Ivana CepedaSeptember 21, 2008 //

Fall is finally here and our girls at Glam.com think it’s time to try out those sizzling looks we saw on the catwalk in February. From bare-faced skin and soft blush to cat eyes and red lips–which one works for you?

1. Bare, Dewy Skin: On the Burberry Prorsum and Alexander McQueen catwalks, fresh-faced models strutted their stuff, proving that less is more when it comes to fashion. Their au naturel look gave them a soft touch when paired against bold apparel.
DIY: Mix a bit of illuminator with your daily moisturizer and apply with your fingertips. Dab on a little bit of concealer where needed, plus a touch of lip.
