Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basLet me state, for the record, that I was not a cool middle schooler. I was 5'10" and about 115 pounds, at an age where being tall and thin is anything but cool. Add in some sweet braces, facial features I had yet to grow into and my complete unfamiliarity with a blow dryer and round brush and you have the definition of "awkward phase," as seen in the photo above.

A classic shape and style, this belt was designed to be pulled through belt loops of any slack or jean. We loved the styling of a menswear inspired classic leather belt with a summer dress as seen at Isabel Marant, and paired with trousers and a...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basOPI's Fall 2011 collection is inspired by one of our favourite vacation options, the roadtrip. Called Touring America, the twelve shades range from light grays to deep purples, with some coral, taupe and fuchsia in between. There's also those cute OPI names, too, that cover common roadtrip ground like bumpersticker slogans, U.S. landmarks and the dreaded chant "Are we there yet?"

We just can't get enough denim this season, and Spring 2011 is all about wearing head-to-toe indigo in fresh new shapes. The '70s influence can be seen in the wide-leg trousers and longer A-line skirts on the runway, but we're gravitating to the blazers, cropped jackets and loose tunics that were often paired with, making what was once dubbed the dreaded "double denim" no longer...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basFrom full-on neon to washed out acidic brights the colour of diluted antifreeze, no other hue is thawing us out this spring like these electric greens. The colour comes in striking body-con dresses, sweet ruffled shirts, as well as fun accessories, and is surprisingly easy to mix in with your wardrobe. Pair with black if you're unsure of how to wear, something neutral like beige or gray if...
