Men’s Clothing, Done Right March 24th, 2011 By Diana
Men’s clothing just doesn’t get enough love on this blog sometimes, and we’re trying to change that. These men all are letting their real creativity shine through with standout pieces that are classic and stylish. In the photos below, it’s all about great fit and (almost) unnoticed details.
Like Jermaine Delay of Uniqlo:

His quilted jacket is spot on, and the straw hat is the icing on the cake. Here is one of our favorite quilted jackets from RVCA, which is 35% off at Nordstrom.
This men’s camel jacket is perfectly tailored, and the contrasting nudes lend for a modern take on a classic fit. Of course, his best accessory has to be the stunning woman to his left.

Replicate the camel coat with this Jos. A. Bank Camel Hair Top Coat:
And then there’s this trio of men who just got it RIGHT in their black leather jackets! Beso has an amazing selection of black leather jackets right now.

Citrus Color Spring Handbags March 16th, 2011 By Staci Diane
Say hello to spring (can you believe it’s in four days?) with handbags in citrus shades of lime green, lemon yellow, and vibrant orange. Accessorizing with a citrus color handbag will instantly revamp your wardrobe, and look fresh when paired with contrasting neutrals such as white, khaki or navy. Handbags come in a range of citrus hues, so if you prefer a softer shade, choose pastel versions of the eye-popping bright colors.

Trendspotting: Socks with Heels June 11th, 2010 By Alex
I recently noticed that designers and other fashion insiders have started pairing socks with heels. While it is definitely not a look for the cowardly, done right, this trend can be fun and sophisticated. I think Burberry got it right, pairing socks with heels in similar shades:
Burberry rocks the monochromatic look
Burberry
These ladies also seem to have the look down. They don’t pull their socks up too high, which is very flattering (editor’s note: I have seen the look with knee-high socks, but be wary as this trend is meant to be sweet and not too sexy):
Sheer black socks and stilettos
This look also works with shorter, flowing hemlines
To try this look yourself, go for a shoe with a chunky wedge or thick platform. Look for leather, suede and wood materials, and don’t try this with espadrilles! Here are some hot shoes that would look great with the right women’s trouser sock:
Jessica Simpson's 'Garta' with black trouser socks
Sergio Rossi with tan or white trouser socks
Just remember this is already a bold trend to try, so don’t make the mistake of picking a shoe that is too loud or a sock that is too thick – regular socks won’t work! Your look could end up like this:
Don't pair a loud shoe with thick socks!
Accessory Style File: Pretty Pouches February 27th, 2010 By Staci
I have finally mastered keeping the inside of my bags clean and organized! The secret is to invest in a few pouches for makeup and loose change to avoid spills, leaks and stains. Some of us can never figure out how the bottom of our bag gets so dirty. Loose or melted lipstick, lotion and dirty change are usually the culprit. It’s almost impossible to clean the lining of a handbag so if you have a separate bags, you reduce the chance of an embarrassing mess. It also makes it much easier to switch bags in a hurry! Here are my stylish finds on beso that are perfect for your daily essentials:
1. Tory Burch Leopard-Print Canvas Small Cosmetic Case, $55.00 at Bloomingdales

Accessory Style File: Must-Have Travel Accessories February 13th, 2010 By Staci
As I begin preparing for my trip to Vegas next week, I started a travel checklist filled with essentials that help me feel at home where ever I go. Since most of the airlines charge an additional fee to check luggage, my goal is to pack everything in my carry on bag. To avoid over packing, start thinking of those items you just can’t live without. My must-haves are listed below and all are equally important.
1. 1154 LILL Studio PAULA Weekender is large enough to fit everything I need for my weekend trip. It has adjustable, detachable straps and interior compartments to keep loose items organized. Price: $210.00$168.00 at eBags
