How to Wear by LC

So you have seen me post about how I LOVE sheer tops for this season.  My girl LC tells us how exactly to sport this stylish trend!

How to Wear: Sheer

10/25/2012
by Lauren Conrad

Sheer is a having a moment right now. While it has held its ground in the fashion scene for a few seasons, it was definitely a key design element in many of my favorite Fall 2012 collections. Sheer layers, panels, and cutouts were spotted everywhere from Vera Wang and BCBG in New York to Dolce & Gabbana and Valentino in Milan. This cross-Atlantic trend is feminine and ethereal with a hint of mystery and sex appeal. Perfect, right? Personally, I love the look. Airy chiffons and see-through silks are amongst my favorite fabrics to design with… While this gauzy garb is lovely, many people struggle with it when it comes to executing the look. Why? It’s difficult to wear if you don’t know how to properly style it. Today I’ll be teaching you a thing or two on how to wear this transparent trend the right way…

1. Assess the occasion. If you need to be demure, you will need more “under coverage” otherwise, if you’re looking to show a little skin then you can consider more minimal under pieces like bandeau bras, bandage skirts, or bike shorts. 
2. Color cues. Always try to wear a shade that is similar to the color of the sheer garment. Otherwise, pick a color that is closest to your skin tone. 
3. What lies beneath. This is the important part. If you wear a sheer top, pair it with a camisole or a spaghetti strap body suit. If you are going to wear a sheer skirt, I suggest a similarly colored bandage skirt or even bike shorts if you’re going for a sporty look. 

There you have it! Now you can confidently don this seasonal staple like a pro.

Style Spotlight: Sarah Jessica Parker

As stated earlier I LOVE SJP.  I think she is the definition of style and embodies fashion with no matter what look she is going for.  All my friends know I adore her and love when people tell me I look like her (it may just be the curly hair but I'll take it).  There is nothing better than watching marathons of Sex and the City and ahhhing over Carrie's crazy yet perfect fashion.  Not only does SJP represent Carrie on and off the screen she is also a true lady of grace, fun and just down right cool-ness.

Her fashion is always right on point. She can be rocking a white tee, jeans and simple blazer and it just looks perfect. My favorite looks of hers of course are the extravagant, fashion-forward looks. Slicked back here, dramatic eyes, sky-high heels and a bold necklace scream SJP. It's about pairing simple pieces in different color palettes together and accessorizing them to scream YOU. Her fashion is often replicated but it is her style that is hard to replicate. She embodies true style and I love every second of it.
Style staples:
- Structured blazers
- Big colorful silk scarves
- Killer stilettos
-Over the top necklaces
- Over sized totes
-Sheer shirts
-Colored skinny jeans
- Black elegance with a pop of color

Enjoy SJP's greatest looks....

And how can we forget some classic Carrie Bradshaw looks....

SJP love,

From My Girl LC: October Styling Ideas

If you didn't know already, I have an obsession with two and only two celebrities (besides of course hot men with dreamy eyes and six packs) and they are Sarah Jessica Parker and Lauren Conrad.  I am not big into celebrity gossip and obsessions but these two fashionistas I adore! My roommate, Tobes and I like to pretend Lauren is our good friend and that her emails from her website are directed to us.  We are nuts, I know but I truly think LC is a great inspirational woman.  Not only because of her success in the fashion world, but also for her strive to give back and be a true and good role model to women.  I will be posting many links to her website because it is my ultimate dream website so I hope you all enjoy it!

Here are her October Styling Ideas.  I personally love the sweater with with sparkly knits idea.  This option can can really be great for any occasion to show your stylish side and also keep it comfy.  Check out the leather look as well.. told you that was big.  I'm excited to also try out the sheer lightweight layer look as well... definitely thinking maxi skirts huh?

Hope you all enjoy, and as always love to my girl LC.

Tuesday Ten: October Styling Ideas

10/2/2012
by Lauren Conrad

I hope you enjoyed my September Style Tips post! Did anyone test out any of the ideas I listed? I hope so! Now that it’s October, I thought I would share 10 simple and chic styling ideas to try this month to keep your look feeling fresh and on-trend…

Temper sparkly separates with relaxed knits. Pair your favorite metallic mini with a comfy, chunky knit for a daytime-approved look that can take you well into the evening hours.


Play with texture by mixing together unexpected combinations such as tweed, silk, and wool to give your look depth and intrigue.


Try an oversize daytime clutch instead of your standard satchel for weekend jaunts and mid-week work meetings.


Add leather-like hints to your look by pairing them with summery favorites to transition your closet to fall without breaking the bank.


Mix in sheer, lightweight layers to your look to balance fall’s heavier wares.


Twist on an oversize, knit scarf (or snood) to add complexity and color to your look. Plus they are warm and cozy—and they instantly add an unexpected pop to an otherwise basic ensemble.


Wear a swingy skirt (preferably in a bold color) to liven up the season’s characteristically structured and tailored silhouettes (and drab palette).


Layer chunky knits together to create a cozy and seasonally appropriate look that will keep you feeling snug all day long.


Add an army inspired parka (in camo green print or solid olive) for an on-trend alternative to your basic fall jacket. For more tips on how to wear this trend, click here.


Try a sleeveless trench for a high-fashion update to a classic cut. Belt it and pair it with a simple shirt-dress and you have yourself a lovely fall-feeling outfit for the office or your internship.

Which October style tip are you most excited to try?

If you do give any of these ideas a go, be sure to upload a photo of your take on the trend and leave the link below for a chance to be Chic of the Week!
