The collection was a refreshing mix of youthfulness (bright pops of Read more

Everyone loves a pretty braid, but creating perfectly smooth plaits is difficult, verging on well-nigh impossible for those of us with layers. Which is why the disheveled braids coming down the runway are good news. They're pretty and fashion forward, but they allow for plenty of loose strands, not-quite-right crossovers, and stuck-out pieces, too. It's a braid new world, so don't be afraid to Read more

Bono and wife Ali Hewson's elevated eco-conscious clothing brand showed off a darker mood this season, but not to worry, the presence of Edun's signature exotic prints abounded in pops of silky fuchsia and electric blue combos.

Rag & Bone's Fall runway show took place on a chilly evening at Pier 57, but everyone seemed to forget the brisk draft once David Neville and Marcus Wainwright started the show. "Think about a country house and all the things you might find in it," said Wainwright when describing the collection. Layering was key in the duo's vision; ikat printed dresses, wool jodhpurs, tapestry floral Read more

While the weekend provides a two-day reprieve from the 9-to-5 grind, don't let that infringe upon your styling prowess. We're all for kicking back and donning our coziest layers, favorite worn-in jeans, and old-school sneakers, but that doesn't mean we have to sacrifice our sense of chic know-how.

Rebecca's girl is both an homage to '90s grunge and a fresh-faced street-styler.
