Stylist Advice- How to wear an unstructured maxi skirt

How should I wear this Pins and Needles Chiffon Maxi Skirt from Urban Outfitters? I love it, but I don't know what top would go well with it...? -- A.L. via fashion advice Well, first off, I have to admit that chiffon, or any unstructured, maxi skirt is pretty darn tricky to pull off without looking like you're wearing a sack. There's an 80's unstructured retro vibe, which is only fresh if you have not lived through the 80's and seen photos of yourself and friends in droopy, saggy clothes. Or, just look at all the girls on the street today trasping around in what looks like a milkmaid's nightgown rather than a maxi dress. A maxi can be a

I'll Have What She's Having: Tailored short shorts, high heels, and the right kind of attitude to pull it off Total Disclaimer: It's almost no secret that MOST of the time, I cringe when I see woman on the street wearing shorts-- particularly in the city. They either are wearing something overtly girly like a kiddy romper when they are well over a certain age, or half-naked as if they are about to change their profession and take to the nearest street corner. Cameron Diaz tailored short shorts and high heels worn right! Not to mention, those with the figures that should really consider a skirt or something a bit longer and more appropriate for the city.

I'll Have What She's Having: Easy, breezy summer animal prints that don't wear you I've always been a fan of wearing animal prints, be it leopard, chetah, zebra, or some amalgamated whozeewhat animal pattern. The thing is that when wearing something as bold, and often daring, as an animal print, if you don't style it correctly, you can look like the crazy cat lady rather than exotically chic. >> SHOP: Animal Prints We all know that Sarah Jessica Parker can be a risk-taker when it comes to her style and Dolce & Gabbana is known for their signature leopard prints. Put the two together, and here you have a very stunning, surprisingly simple and elgant take on walking on the

Viva Designer Espadrilles, the on trend summer shoe, be it designer or classic

I almost feel that its an oxymoron to say that espadrilles are right on trend this summer Nothing says bring on the warm weather more than a pair of espadrilles! Espadrilles have got to be one of those summer classics that you can never go wrong with and are always super comfy and add an instant Euro beachy feel to whatever you are wearing.

Beauty Products Review: Cheap chic cosmetics N.Y.C. New York Color is taking their line international and to celebrate its revamped launch they held a handful of intimate makeover sessions in a chic loft space in Manhattan, each session tailored to the skin tones and features of each woman present. The fact that only four sessions were had, each with roughly 10-12 woman, made it feel very exclusive. Bare faced upon arrival and after the makeup artist touched me up at the event. The week prior to the event I sent in a photo of myself so I could arrive to a customized makeup palette fit for my skin and eye coloring. That feature certainly added to the exclusivity and uniqueness

Now, I bring to you this week with the ladies and my birthday in Morocco. When I was planning my birthday party, I had no idea The Real Housewives Of New York City were coming to Morocco at the same time! When Jill Zarin called me to tell me their plans, I was delighted.

Wowza, when the Duchess of Cambridge wears it, the world goes crazy! Yesterday, we wrote about how much we loved Kate Middleton's $340 Reiss dress as compared to what Michelle Obama was wearing in the same photo. Guess, Sharon was not alone in her sartorial choices, because we received the following urgent notice email from Reiss: Due to incredible demand for the Shola dress as worn by the Duchess of Cambridge yesterday, we are experiencing huge volumes of traffic to the site, causing some instability. I can assure you we are doing all in our powers to rectify this, and normal service will be resumed as soon as possible. In the short term, we have posted a holding page, to

One for the Brits, but the First Lady makes up for it later! Sorry folks, but I have to give this one to the other team. I'm afraid to say that Mrs. Obama's dainty print, retro full skirt Barbara Tfank dress reminds me of another First Lady, Mamie Eisenhower, and, in my opinion, is not flattering to this First Lady's statuesque frame. But then there's the clean chic style that Michelle Obama hallmarked, this time worn by Kate Middleton. After the satorial success of her wearing a Reiss dress for when her engagement was announced, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge selected another Reiss dress to meet President and Mrs. Obama at Buckingham Palace on the first day of the President and

Gwen Stefani Knows How To Wear a Bow and Make It Edgy, Well Armani Helps

I'll Have What She's Having: Two Big Bows and NOT look like you escaped from a prom! Ok, I must confess, bows on grown-up women can really wreck my style nerves. It's not that I don't like a good bow here and there, it's that many women have a tendency to make them look too sweet and juvenile and end up looking ridiculous. But when worn right, a few well-placed bows on a dress can look positively stunning. Case in point: The Giorgio Armani white and black gown that Gwen Stefani worn on the red carpet for the premiere of Paolo Sorrentino's "This Must Be the Place," at the Cannes Film Festival. >> READ MORE: Armani brand Granted, it's an
