How to Wear: Biker Jackets April 6th, 2010 By

With the leather jacket’s recent comeback, everyone has been clamoring for that edgy look.   But how do you wear it?  Here I’ve highlighted three ways you can rock the style to fit your personality.

Rezrekshn Leather Motorcycle Jacket

1. The Traditional Way
Biker jackets look great with anything, but they certainly go hand in hand with a pair of jeans. From simple classic Levi’s, to the new class of edgy, ripped, broken-in and acid-washed designer denim, the leather biker jacket and jeans are as classic as PB & J.

2. The Romantic Way
A floral dress or ruffled mini brings a slight air of romance to a biker jacket. The key is to pair a rough and rugged biker jacket with a super flirty look for a great balance between soft and hard. It’s the sexy look that will keep ‘em guessing!  Try a silk jacket with a bomber fit.

3. The Rockstar Way
Wanna channel your inner rockstar? Pair a biker jacket with ripped leggings or skinny jeans, biker boots, your favorite tee, chunky jewelry and bedhead (see Taylor Momsen from Gossip Girl). This style looks like you didn’t try too hard, and the look is rockin’!

The Little Red Dress December 15th, 2009 By

Beyonce and Taylor Swift are two leading ladies that always look smashing, even under pressure in their little red dresses.  Taylor Swift paires her vintage dress with matte red lips while the daring neckline of Beyonce’s Roberto Cavalli dress demanded a more neutral face.

Red is THE color of the holiday season and a little red dress is the perfect way to incorporate it into your wardrobe.  Unless you are walking a red carpet, keep your little red dress simple and not too revealing.  Cocktail length is best for red dresses. Pair with black suede heels for a lush look.

We love this Black Halo dress:

How to Wear Hot Pink October 13th, 2009 By

Black Halo Eva Minidress

Black Halo Eva Minidress

Neons are in for fall and our favorite is hot pink.  The trick to wearing hot pink without looking clownish is to make it the highlight of your outfit.  Never make it compete with another color. Pair it with black or charcoal grey.  Black provides more contrast and will help the bright pink to pop.

Pair a hot pink camisole like Nanette Lepore’s Whimsical top with a charcoal grey business suit for day. The bright pink will keep the outfit interesting while the grey tones down the look so it’s more “stylish woman” than “party girl.”

Beirn Ellie Clutch

For evenings, carry a hot pink purse like the Beirn Ellie clutch or the Whiting and Davis V-Flap Clutch with a black outfit.  It’ll look great with a little black dress and a super sexy cage bootie or a sparkly black top and dark jeans combo. The other stand-out item (the shoe or sparkly top) keeps the outfit interesting without making it colorful.

If you want to make a bold statement, try a hot pink dress. Pair it with black tights, black shoes and a black handbag.  Let the dress be the star of the outfit.  The feminine detailing on Black Halo’s Eva minidress keeps it fun and flirty.
