Jewelry can do more than just put the finishing touches on an outfit - it can help save lives! October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and with it, many designers have elected to donate a portion of their proceeds to research organizations, such as a the Susan G. Komen Foundation and the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. David Yurman, Coach and Target all got in the game with pink designs and a great cause in mind. It’s easy to feel even better about a new purchase when you know it’s really going to help someone! So think pink and check out the SLIDESHOW for my favorite breast cancer awareness jewelry picks!
Of all the new trends introduced by designers at last month’s New York Fashion Week, the Aladdin-style harem pants are definitely getting the most fashion buzz. Although critics appear to either embrace or totally hate this trend, there’s no denying that the harem pant fits in perfectly with the exotic luxury feel of many of the Spring and Resort 2009 collections. I loved the unique ways designers styled these unusual trousers. Like Elie Tahari’s short and flirty style harem pant complete with ankle-ties, Proenza Schouler’s stunning high-waisted and all-black take on the trend, and Phi’s tie-waist jodhpur-style harem pants. And for daring fashionistas already eager to get into a pair of these trendy pants, you’re in luck! There are a growing number of harem-style pants available in the Hive right now. Don’t believe me? Well then check out my SLIDESHOW to see five of my favorite harem pants straight from the Hive.

A lot of the times, pulling off that designer look that you watch walk down the runway or admire in a fashion magazine is a a lot harder than you think! Well, once again I found myself perusing StyleDiary to aid me in my time of fashion frustration and who did I stumble upon this time, but savvy Stylediarist, Jaja. This fashionista has all the latest fall fashions and trends, but more importantly, she creates outfits that look like they’re straight off the runway! She captures Yves Saint Laurent’s minimalist chic look with this beautiful monochrome ensemble and check out this sweater dress, that to me, just screams Sonia Rykiel’s Fall ‘08 Collection. Oh, and I am definitely thinking of Gucci’s boho chic Fall collection with this number. Last but not least, I’ve been admiring these versatile riding boots that are a staple of both Jaja’s wardrobe and the Fall runways.

Looking to add some sparkle to dreary fall days? A touch of gold can do wonders, but don’t think you’re limited to heavy jewelry and blinding metallics. Forget excessive sequins and shine- this season, gold presents itself a bit more softly, with undertones that shimmer rather than reflect. The result? A muted shade similar to champagne, with a dusty, matte-like finish. Statement shoes are given a twist of elegance when done in rose gold, while a watch in a subtle shade doubles as jewelry that can be worn year-round. A dusting of gold shadow on the eyelids instantly brightens the complexion, and a light gold nail color is a subtle alternative to clear or pink tips. In the market for a gold handbag? Try a bag in a dusty shade like Yves Saint Laurent’s ‘Besace’ messenger, and you can be sure the shine won’t burn out before the season’s end. Go to Elle’s Fall A to Zee Trends to see Joe Zee’s picks, and check out the slideshow for more golden finds.

Bold makeup is a great way to intensify your look if a bold outfit isn’t your thing, and the best part is that a tissue solves all of your problems if you suddenly decide you took things too far. Can’t really say that about the wacky shorts-tights-heels-oversized bow-adorned sweater ensemble I wore the other day, unfortunately. Moving on. Recently it seems that more than a few celebs are going bold in striking red shades of lipstick- Cameron Diaz at the AFI’s Night At The Movies, Jennifer Lopez at the launch of her fragrance for men, “Deseo,” and Dita Von Teese at her Wonderbra collection photocall, to name a few- and I want to know who you think did it best!
The Rebecca Taylor Spring 2009 collection was inspired by the bohemian world traveler with relaxed, fuss-free looks and beautiful pieces that seemed haphazardly thrown together for an effortlessly fabulous look. Lead makeup artist Polly Osmond for MAC played with this world traveler theme, creating a makeup look that was very “lived in, kind of messy, and bohemian. It’s pretty, but still youthful. It’s not serious, it’s kind of edgy and fun with a little sophistication.” Click READ MORE for a step-by-step guide to re-create the look.
