It’s definitely sweater weather so break them out of storage or cozy up to this Folk Knit Wool-Blend Cardigan. It has six buttons and is ribbed at the cuffs and hem. What grabbed our attention was the leather tab-closed pockets. Fellas, you can dress this up or down which is why We Like!
As a suit, the DB is the silhouette of the season. If you've already got that covered, though, feel free to invest in the nicest DB blazer you can afford.

Several designers are offering the staple in flannel for the fall season, as opposed to regular wool. Just think of this as the navy option for men who still prefer tweed. Flannel blazer $595 by Gant Rugger, us.gant.com
Taking some time off from performing in Brazil, Rihanna visited the world famous Christ the Redeemer Statue in Rio de Janeiro yesterday before her headlining appearance at the Rock in Rio festival. She rocked a fly pair of Givenchy Ankle Wrap Caged Booties paired with a yellow blouse and daisy dukes.

I’m excited!

Since I know June personally, I’m excited to see her exciting life as it unfolds, and I’m sure the show will be packed with celebs, family and of course FASHION!
The news that Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana were closing D&G, their younger, spunkier, more affordable line, came on Thursday just minutes after the show. As it turned out, the collection’s last hurrah was rather business as usual — not that it’s ever a downer.
And as usual, the designers held tight to a single theme. This time it was foulards, the same idea mined for the spring men’s show — again, standard procedure. Bright and boisterous in shades of hot pink, gold and blue laced with curlicues and stripes, the scarves were knotted here and there for a beachy, skin-bearing look. And it seemed there were a million ways to wear them. Halters, bloomers, boxer shorts, sequined tunics, skimpy sundresses, pin-up bra tops, western shirts, baby dolls, peasant gowns — you name it, the pair fashioned the lineup from printed silk twill, expertly layering riotous color and patterns into a cute, cohesive clash.
Such is no easy feat — Dolce and Gabbana clearly know their way around these ultraspecific prints. And so did someone else. You cannot fill a Milanese runway with screaming scarf prints and not mention the name Versace. Gianni owned the look back in his day. That influence was obvious here, yet did not make the lineup any less valid. As the finale of scarves reimagined as flowing, bohemian dresses proved, it was a fitting way to tie up D&G.
A Christian Siriano show isn't a Christian Siriano show without an abundance of tulle and rich texture. It is perfectly fitting that for Spring 2012 the master of fabric manipulation was inspired by the color and structure of coral. "I was looking originally at a lot of different photographs of these very interesting underwater creatures, barnacles...different types of coral," the designer told StyleBistro backstage, "I thought it was very interesting because the textures are so beautiful."
The former Project Runway winner was not without his loyal famous following in attendance. A vivacious Heidi Klum showed up in one of the designer’s frocks, accompanied by a chic Nina Garcia. “From the beginning when I met him I knew that he had something, you know you can tell now, he's just a very, very special person," Heidi said of Siriano before the presentation, "He has a great personality, he's super nice, he's humble—not always, but he can be humble, too—and he just has it.”
While Siriano’s vibrant hues and delectable frothy confections were right on par, our favorite pieces were his sleek high-waisted silk mermaid skirts paired with casual tees and his sweetly sophisticated crisp white shirt dress worn with a tiny chartreuse belt.
Check out StyleBistro’s backstage footage + interviews with Christian and Heidi:
Any week that kicks off with the Emmy Awards is bound to be filled with ultra-glam style. Sure enough, it was a white hot week for red carpet fashion! Catch up with your favorite stars and pick the best and worst dressed of the week!
There are no two ways about it: Sofia Vergara looked smokin' hot in her curvaceous coral one-shoulder gown by Vera Wang. Headed into an Emmys afterparty at West Hollywood's Fig and Olive, Sofia stopped to give us a smile and a view of those killer chandelier earrings!
Va-va-voom! Candice Swanepoel was a knock-out at the Moet & Chandon Etoile awards in a long-sleeve lace gown by Tom Ford. While the layered black lace made the look ultra-elegant, there was no shortness of sex appeal. Sheer cut-outs and an intricate bustier were perfectly sultry for the occasion.
Leave it to Rosie Huntington-Whiteley to bring on the Old Hollywood Glamour! For the Moet & Chandon Etoile award ceremony in London the stunning actress donned an elegant white gown with sheer sleeves and a deep-v. An enviable red pout and retro waves perfected Rosie's vintage look.
No one travels in style quite like Kim Kardashian. We spotted Kim K. leaving a Manhattan hotel in an ultra-chic ensemble. She donned black high-waisted pants, a printed silk blouse and a classic white Birkin.
An expectant Beyonce wowed at the launch of her new fragrance in a feathered Lanvin gown. The silk halter gown skimmed her curves, while a jeweled neckline added the perfect dose of shine. Long two-tone waves and radiant skin finished off the winning look.
Liv Tyler opted for a dramatic look at the New York City Ballet Gala in a stunning strapless Stella McCartney gown. With intricate black embroidery and sheer panels, the dress was an exotic choice for the leggy actress. Old Hollywood curls and green drop earrings were glam accents to Liv's stunning style.
Beyonce Knowles shined at the launch of her latest fragrance, Pulse, in New York City. The glowing mother-to-be opted to wear a Roberto Cavalli look consisting of a blue sequined tunic and matching blazer.
Pregnancy isn't going to bring down this starlet's short hemlines! A romantic side-braid and demure peep-toe pumps balanced out Beyonce's glamorous style.
The songstress let her glitzy ensemble do the talking and accessorized minimally with a pair of Lorraine Schwartz earrings. We're eager to see what other fab maternity style this hot momma' has in store!

Our reigning King of FLY-Dom, Kanye West was spotted front row at the Burberry Spring Summer 2010 Womeanswear Show yesterday in London. Seated comfortably next to; Ellie Goulding, Sienna Miller, Gemma Arterton, and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Ye held court in a CustomeLeather Balmain Biker Jacket, a White V-neck, ripped jeans and the Jordan Retro 1′s.
Burberry Prorsum has come a long way from its old, somewhat stodgy reputation as the British royals' purveyor of plaid and hunting garb—thanks in large part not just to the brilliance of creative director Christopher Bailey but to the hip young starlets who've lent their names to the brand (ahem, Emma Watson and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley). These days, Burberry is the epitome of London cool and, let's not forget, the UK capitol was recently named the most fashionable city on earth!
Burberry presents its Spring 2012 runway collection at London Fashion Week on Monday September 19, 2011 at 8am PST / 11am EST.
Without further ado, see why the Brits are leading the fashion pack and watch Burberry's Spring 2012 runway show live here:
Dope fashionista Cassie was spotted in Manhattan moments after leaving lunch with friends at the Italian restaurant Bar Pitti in West Village. Although, her look was laid back dressed in all black wearing stretch pants and a tank top, she rocked a bright turquoise Hermes Birkin bag on her arm. Would you rock it?
Olivia Munn rocked the 'Entertainment Weekly' soiree in a one-shoulder purple frock paired with perforated peep-toe platform pumps, complete with delicate ankle straps.
eBay is always the first place we look to get a deal. Whether it's a designer exclusive, a new-with-tags item sold out in stores or a coveted style that would normally be out of our price range, we can always count on the online marketplace to have what we want at an affordable price. We're huge fans of Fashion Vault, the company's popular flash sale site. We love shopping the Fashion app from our mobile phones (talk about crazy convenient). We're obsessed with eBay's fahsion designer collaborations (like those with Derek Lam and Alexander Wang), which make high-end fashion more accessible... And we wondered: What will they think of next?
So imagine our glee when we learned of eBay's latest launch: The brand new Fashion Outlet, just announced today. It's basically a virtual shopping mall, featuring than 20 dedicated storefronts from companies like Neiman Marcus, William Rast, Brook's Brothers, Custo Barcelona and Tommy Hilfiger. But instead of exhausting yourself running from store to store, overloaded shopping bags in hand, you can let your fingers do the walking (pardon the pun!), browsing by brand, product type and even level of discount.
In many ways, deciding what to wear to the Primetime Emmys is like deciding on a wedding dress. Some go subtly chic, others bold and empowering, and others wear peculiar hat-like head things with feathers. Point is, the stars go all out and we're here to bring you all the highlights. Enjoy!
Hello '90s! Gwyneth Paltrow hit the Emmy Awards in an exotic two-piece Emilio Pucci dress with sheer tulle trim. The intricately embroidered black-and-nude dress showed off Gwyn's toned abs and was a definite departure from her typically feminine aesthetic. Sleek blond locks and glowing skin finished off the look. Do you think bare midriff on the red carpet is a do or a don't?
We were eagerly awaiting Lea Michele's dramatic Emmy entrance, as her red carpet swagger is simply unparalleled. The Glee actress opted to wear a sleek backless Marchesa gown with ornately layered shoulders and a romantic mermaid silhouette. The vibrant red design was paired with a banged 'do and a confident pose.
Vampire Diaries star Nina Dobrev wowed at the 2011 Emmys in a sensational red strapless Donna Karan gown with a dramatic train. The ravishing dress' unexpected pleated details and flattering gathered sweetheart bust made is an unforgettable choice. A gleaming diamond choker necklace and sideswept curls finished off her flawless style.
Mad Men's voluptuous Christina Hendricks stepped onto the Emmy red carpet in a breathtaking custom silver beaded gown by Johanna Johnson. The fiery red head showed off her killer curves in the ornate gown brimming with Old Hollywood glamour. A thigh high slit and bold red lips topped off Christina's sultry style.
Kerry Washington never disappoints on the red carpet! She stunned at the 2011 Emmys in a dazzling red sequined Zuhair Murad gown with a daring sheer skirt. She finished off her va-va-voom Jessica Rabbit-inspired look with a chic wavy bob, a matching clutch and fire engine red lips.
Kate Winslet brought her effortless glamour to the Emmys in a minimalist Elie Saab gown with a plunging neckline. The crimson dress hugged Kate's curves, while still leaving plenty to the imagination. Drop earrings and a diamond bangle finished off Kate's flawless look.
While Dianna Agron's Roksanda Ilincic gown added a captivating pop of color to the Emmy red carpet, we fear the silhouette and choice of shoes was too mature for the young actress. It's impossible, however, to detract from the Glee star's relentless beauty. A box clutch and retro updo polished off Dianna's dramatic look.
At Christian Siriano's Spring 2012 runway show at NYFW, Heidi Klum revealed to us backstage that she would be wearing one of the designer's textured designs for the Emmy Awards. The svelte model loves to show off her enviable legs (and who can blame her?), opting to wear a cocktail length tulle design. The ecru number was clearly inspired by the rich texture of sea coral.
Ooh la la! Kelly Osbourne turned heads at the 2011 Emmys in a showstopping J. Mendel gown. The Fashion Police star showed off her elegant dress' asymmetric straps by wearing her newly lavender frosted locks in a sleek updo. Matching drop earrings and a glittery clutch were the ideal finishing touches to this fab look.
Elie Saab is ceaselessly a favorite on the red carpet, and the Emmys are reminding us exactly why. Emily Blunt looked ravishing in a midnight blue confection from Saab's Fall '11 Couture collection. A beaded bodice sparkled with a plunging neckline and frothy tulle adorned skirt gave a rich texture to Emily's award-worthy style.
