Nicole Richie in yet another chic outfit

I’ve been a fan of Nicole Richie’s style for quite some time now, as I’m sure many of you have been. Nicole has transformed from a frumpy Simple Life star to a fabulously stylish it-girl. Here, in this outfit that I've loved for months, Nicole rocks the casual yet put-together look while hanging with fashionista gal-pal Mischa Barton. Here's how to recreate the look from head-to-toe!

Nicole Richie and Mischa Barton

Hot sunglasses are a must in sunny summer weather. This summer, the Ray-Ban Wayfarer is a must-have; choose between the following to steal the look.

Ray-Ban USA White Wayfarer Classic Sunglasses, $102.50 on Ebay.com

White Risky Business Sunglasses, $9.00 at FredFlare.com

This classic white tee pulls the entire look together in a casual yet easy-going twist.

Bop Basics Short Sleeve Crew Tee, $35.00 at ShopBop.com

Fine Jersey Short Sleeve T, $17.00 at American Apparel

Take a mellow outfit to the next level with one of Nicole's favorite pieces: her black and white Balenciaga bag. The bag stirs things up without taking it too far.

Balenciaga Black and White Canvas City Striped Bag, $199.00 on Ebay.com

Printed Drawstring Bag with Rope Handle, $14.99 at Urban Outfitters

One of my favorite pieces in Nicole's wardrobe is her pair of Ksubi skinny jeans; they're oh-so-flattering on her petite figure and the dark wash is so versatile. Snatch up the exact pair of Ksubi jeans or go for a less expensive option.

Ksubi Skinny Jean in Squawk, $265.00 at RonHerman.com

Lux Tapered Zip Jean, $68.00 at Urban Outfitters

Simple and comfortable, black flip flops make this outfit good for shopping or the beach.

Havaianas Solid Flip Flop, $15.00 at ShopBop.com

Roxy "Zuma" Soft Rubber Flip Flop, $12.00 at Nordstrom

"We wear short shorts..."

Wed, 28 Mar 2007 22:15:09 GMT

Forget about Jessica Simpson's Daisy Dukes; this summer introduces a completely new look, letting you recycle last year's cut-off denim shorts, and the previously trendy Johnson fabric shorts.

This year think chic, putting your shorts together in a way that's far from over-sexy, but still looks great. The key to success this spring and summer is making the outfit look thrown together at the last minute, but making people wonder how you are able to pull it off so well.

Take Ashley Olsen as an example.

Ashley Olsen sports this season's denim cut-offs with a Prada headband

It's safe to say that Ashley has fully established herself as one of the top style icons of today's generation. Even running simple errands like getting coffee, Ashley Olsen still manages to look amazing, making sure that her shorts and white sneaker slides look anything but soccer-mom. Take cues from her this summer by making your look less trashy and messy, and adding high-end (looking) accessories.

5-Pocket Cut-Offs, $34.50 at American Eagle Outfitters

Sneaker Slides, $29.50 at Gap.com

(I actually bought a pair of these slides this past weekend, and they're extremely comfortable and stylish. I can't even count the number of compliments I got!)

Roll-up shorts are great for a dressier kind of look; frayed hems can be the wrong decision in certain situations. Try an unexpected twist with dark-colored tights underneath your shorts for a windy spring or summer day.

5-Pocket Rollups, $34.50 at American Eagle Outfitters

Our last example is for the girl who's not afraid to take risks; give up last year's Johnson shorts for a completely more creative pair.

This season is all about not being afraid to wear a little bulk, (of course, not so much that you feel or look like you're wearing a diaper!). Bigger is better, in terms of print and size.

Lux Batik Short, $48.00 at Urban Outfitters

Johnson Millicent Shorts, $132.00 from ShopBop.com

Last year's Johnson shorts were just over-worn and over-priced; not a good combination when you're being laid-back in the summertime.

This summer, update your regular shorts-and-a-t-shirt look with an outfit that will have your friends asking you for tips!

In a far cry from the neon-colored apparel in his debut runway collection, designer Christopher Kane has a whole new assortment out for the Fall 2007 Ready-to-Wear season, in richer browns, maroons, and dark blues. But, keeping with his signature sassy and sexy style, Christopher's new line for TopShop is no surprise, considering that his pieces are avant-garde fashionista-friendly. He's in good company on the TopShop site alongside fellow designers Marios Schwab, Peter Jensen, and Celia Birtwell, and his straight-from-the-runway designs are over the top glamorous and absolutely meant for the party girl. If you fit the bill, take a look at Harrods Design Award winner Christopher Kane's pieces for yourself!

"It's been a while..."

Tue, 23 Jan 2007 20:06:04 GMT

So, it's definitely been a few days since I last updated, and I actually have pretty good reasons. First of all, exams and exam prep have been consuming me for the past little while, so there won't be another update until next Tuesday at the earliest. In addition to that, I have been working on the launch of She's In Fashion Magazine!

The magazine will be available for viewing online at www.shesinfashiononline.com very soon, and I'm very excited about the opening, as I hope you all will be! I think that this will be a good way to continue getting your daily fix of She's In Fashion here at the blog, as well as a more in depth monthly version, available at the actual magazine.

Definitely continue to ask your fashion questions as you have been, as well as any beauty questions that you may have; they'll either be answered here, or in an article in the magazine.

I'd also really appreciate some feedback about your thoughts on the launch of the magazine, which, with your permission, will be featured in the first issue, along with your first name.

If you'd like to let me know about anything else or ask any questions, feel free to do so and I will answer them as best I can! Thanks so much to everyone who has been subscribing and commenting! Please continue to do so; I really appreciate it and I hope to continue to bring you the very best in fashion, celebrities, and entertainment!

"Don't make me take off my belt..."

Aeroxygirl2226 asked:
“Are waist belts still in style?”

With the rise of a trend comes the even bigger fall; the question that always boggles the mind is when this fall will occur. It’s always better to get out before it ends, but in the case of the high-waisted belt, it’s still going strong with a force that has stricken spring ready-to-wear runways absolutely everywhere. With the continuation of the trend of the belts comes the new trend of higher-waisted frocks and dresses, tops, and bottoms. The exception this season in the case of the belts is that they are a bit more low-key, a bit skinnier, and are at their best when cinching the over-sized apparel of the season.

One of the biggest purposes that belts will serve this season is adding a splash of color to an otherwise boring palette. Saturated and neon colors are huge now, but more neutral colors are good when the rest of the outfit is color-heavy. Belts add an amazing waistline to unshapely dresses and frocks, and bring the eye up, adding interest to your upper half.

Model Tanya Dziahileva in Marc by Marc Jacobs Spring 2007 Ready-to-Wear

Loose cardigans are huge this season, and look impeccable when bound with a belt. The key to achieving this look is to seek restraint from a belt of a contrasting color, (if the cardigan is a solid shade), or to choose a belt in a matching color of one of the shades in the pattern or print.

Use a belt to add structure and sophistication to an out-of-control or bulky ensemble.

Model Olga Sherer in Chanel Spring 2007 Ready-to-Wear

Belts are good interest pieces, and look spectacular when continuing a monochrome theme.

Use your belt to take advantage of the continuing accessory trend, and remember to go bold with colors whenever you can. Color-drenched apparel is taking over this season and you don't want to miss your chance!

"Honey, lay off my shoes..."

Asoka Sock Shoe in Pink, Approximately $15.51 on Office.co.uk

Have we really gotten to the point that we're so lazy that we need socks built into our shoes? I mean, sure, it may come in 3 different colors, (pink, black, and an odd mix of grey and silver), and it's only $15.51, but it just shows us how much the state of shoes this season is taking a turn for the worst*. Bring back last season's shoes! We need to start a revolution on the shoe world.

"Kate Moss, is she so beautiful..."

Kate Moss holds Burberry's upcoming Beaton bag in the Spring 2007 ad campaign, inspired by photographer Cecil Beaton

Supermodel Kate Moss may have fooled the world with a faux Thai wedding to rocker Pete Doherty, but her current position as top model for Burberry's icon collection is anything but pretend. Simplicity seems to be key this season, (take Derek Lam's Candida bag as an example), and Burberry's new it-bag, the Beaton, is immaculate with its clean lines.

Burberry Beaton Bag in Metallic Python, Approximately $6,500

Available in black leather, signature plaid, or python, it is said to cost in between £1,000 to £4,800, ($1,301 to $6,244 USD, or $1,528 to $7, 337 CAD), proving to be a lavish confection. Burberry Prorsum is highly recognized for their signature plaid prints and trench coats, but their Beaton bag shows the minimalism that represents their upcoming icon collection. With its glamorous allure, I have no doubt that it will take over last season's Chloe Paddington bag as the most coveted accessory this season.
