Today is the last day to get your bids in on Courtney Love's Ebay auction of vintage and designer clothing and shoes she's worn or simply owned (she specifies in the auction which an item is, so depending on your fandom you can bid accordingly). Most items end around 4 pm EST, and while several items have received zero bids, a Marc Jacobs hand-dyed slip dress has 12 bids and is currently...

Razzle-dazzle, glitter, shimmer, twinkle and sparkle. Yup, those are a lot of synonyms for one great accessory. Let loose, experiment and pull your outfit together with an embellished belt that is sure to turn some heads, or at least create some excitement around humdrum denim.

Play on the colors and pattern of clothes with a trendy belt like Andrew Gn. Mix neutrals and pastels with a daring...

This week on the Style Collective we had a good laugh at some of the beauty habits we women love and men love to hate. A much safer area (we think) is home decor, and we gave some thought to adding some small touches like intricate candle holders or using wallpaper in an unexpected way.


If you haven't checked out the hilarious blog The Man Repeller, consider this post on all the beauty looks...

When springtime hits we get to thinking about all the Chicks out there shopping for their special prom or grad gown. We think about the excitement of finding The One, and deciding on the shoes and hair to pair with—it's often the first time a girl gets to rock such a frock.

This year, as we poured over prom gowns we got to talking about our own looks from that special night. One of us tanned...

The old saying goes: March winds and April showers? Bring forth May flowers. So we're hoping that all the rain this month brings forth a lovely May filled with plenty of blooms (feel free to send us flowers next month). To get through April we're donning our rain boots, in styles almost as varied as spring flora. 

We all have memories of jumping through puddles as kids, rain boots...

Surely you've taken notice of the J Brand Houlihan cargo pants that practically every fashionista—celebs included—have been sporting since last summer. With over 300,000 pairs sold last year, it's hard to miss this slim-fitting alternative to jeans.

Follow these chic things' lead and add some interest to a basic, black mini by donning a pair of bold, graphic stockings. Spotted at LG Fashion Week, these legs were made for the front row.


How long do the legs on this lovely look? Her tights have a slight bondage feel, and we love how she paired such sexy legwear with such a whimsical top and kept the rest of her look simple and tailored.

Last week at LG Fashion Week in Toronto we spotted plenty of rolled cuffs on boys, often with a statement sock (yes, we are going to call jazzy, attention grabbing socks worn by boys this) and a soft leather shoe. These ladies may not be rocking the statement sock with their rolled cuffs, but they're definitely saying something.


This is an exercise in contrasts. From a contrast of colour (the...

Here's the skinny on the super-thin belt: It is a woman's best friend when it comes to defining the waistline of a loose or layered look or creating a pop of colour in a more muted ensemble. Designers for spring used it in all manner of ways and while it definitely has the potential to be utilitarian through belt loops, it's often suited more to finishing a look or breaking up a...

Sheer fabrics took the form of buttoned blouses and ruffled dresses, adorned with peekaboo appliqués, satin paneling or as some designers envisioned, spare and revealing.
