Maria Bobila — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 15:00:50 +0000

From the previous times we’ve seen her on the red carpet, Michelle Williams hasn’t been turning too many heads with her outfit choices (a navy velvet Jason Wu dress during the Golden Globes, and a Valentino red gown for the SAG Awards). But her latest ensemble is pretty much perfect. Spotted during an appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman, the rising actress wore a floral printed dress from Erdem’s spring collection.

Giddy-Up: Close Out The Season With Ponyhair Shoes

Avery Spofford — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 20:00:57 +0000

Winter might be nearly over (please, can it be nearly over?), but there are a few trends that always transcend into the next year’s cold-weather seasons: leopard print, for example. And black. (We use the term “trend” loosely here). This year, we’re putting our money on ponyskin as an early favorite for next year’s carryover staple.

It’s an extremely luxe material (I mean, you’re wearing fur. On your feet. Try not to think about it too much), and can cost a pretty penny — which is why we have six options for you, all under $200! Grab up a pair, wear them ’til it’s warm out, and then tuck them away for next fall.

Justine Ingersoll Schwartz — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 21:30:49 +0000

Here’s a trend that will bring you right back to Sophomore Geology (in a good way): mineral rock rings are making a major comeback. No, they’re not being used as healing crystals (a la Spencer Pratt warding off the evil spirits on The Hills) — but instead, as uber-cool statement jewelry that makes you equal parts hippie-girl and boho-chic.

I brushed off my old textbook (aka Wikipedia) to learn that minerals are, “naturally occurring solid chemical substances.” Ok, that’s enough learning for today, now please open your textbooks to chapter “Get Shopping.”
