What To Wear With Chinos

What to wear with chinos; an expert guide
how-to-wear-chinos
What to wear with chinos, eh?  Well, we love chinos here!  In fact, we’d like to declare them the perfect trouser. More lightweight and comfortable than jeans, chinos are perfect for lazy, laidback days… but add a pair of heels or a smart shirt and you’ve got yourself a look fit for the dancefloor.
These multitasking wardrobe must-haves are top of our wishlist for Spring/Summer 2012. We’ll be wearing them with a sharp blazer, or a colour clash tee… wait, why don’t we just show you? If you love the look but you’re unsure of exactly what to wear with chinos, take a look at what we’ve put together for you!
What to Wear with Chinos – Girls
If you’re wondering how to wear chinos, girls, never fear! We’ve put together some mix and match items, and these navy blue chinos are quickly becoming our all-time faves. The dark colour and skinny fit make them totally figure flattering – we think they look great paired with dusky pinks as a nod to this season’s romantic pastels trend. Wear with a floaty blouse, structured blazer, statement jewels and super high heels for serious style points.
What to Wear with Chinos – Guys
It’s all about the cool blues! Our White Label Classic Chinos are the perfect shade of petrol blue – wear them with a colour pop tee for maximum effect. Then just add espadrilles and this season’s Snap Watch to accessorise like a boss.  If you don’t know what to wear with chinos, it’s simple – classics looks work and so do the latest on-trend pieces.

What to wear at a festival


We’ve booked our tickets (after two hours, numerous website crashes and three hissy fits), sorted our travel and unpacked the tent, so now all we need to know is what to wear at a festival. And that’s the fun bit!
Yeah, yeah, so there are a few months to go yet, but it never hurts to be prepared. That’s why we’ve put together a guide to your festival wardrobe, whether you’re heading to Creamfields or V. Take a look…
summer festival clothing
Wear for: Leeds and Reading Festival

To see: Foo Fighters, Florence and The Machine, Kasabian

If you’re heading to an indie festival this summer, a cool and casual outfit will ensure you fit right in among all those laidback muso types. A pair of ripped denim shorts, baggy vest and straw hat are all you need to get the look.

Festival Fashion Tip: Keep your feet sweet! Muddy fields are no place for flip flop – protect your toes with these cute and quirky hi top trainers.
Wear for: Creamfields
To see: David Guetta, Example, Deadmau5
Give us a killer baseline and some neon facepaint – we’re ready to dance! If you’re at a dance or rave festival this summer, you need some neon – go for a colour clash with oranges and pinks… and don’t forget the statement shades!
Festival Fashion Tip: A lightweight cotton hoody like this one from White Label will keep you warm when the sun goes down. And it comes in loads of colours too – bonus!
Wear for: Wireless Festival
To see: Drake, Jessie J, Rihanna
We know it’s not particularly ‘cool’, but we LOVE pop festivals. All that fun music requires a fun outfit, and this printed playsuit is perfect. Team with these navy plimsolls for dry days, but take your wellies just in case…
Festival Fashion Tip: Wear your cross-body bag on your front so you can see your valuables at all times – you wouldn’t want to lose your camera before the headliner comes on!
Are you going to a festival this summer? What will you be wearing?

Topshop Lookbook Once Again Brings the Runway to the Masses



topshop_fall_09_small_lookbook1 

Count on Topshop to instantly take to the big runway trends like viruses to their host cells, if you will.Regardless, if you're looking for Balmain's sequined minidresses, Dolce's big, shaggy "fur" coats,Rodarte's shredded knits, and, of course, those stellar thigh-high boots (somehow looks suspiciously amazing on the model...but we won't believe it 'til we see it in person!) at decent prices, Topshop will be your mecca this fall. The lookbook even has a little homage to New York with a section called "Manhattan Cocktail," which is a hodge-podge of going-out looks. Meanwhile, the "Highland Fling" section features that kind of rugged, bundled-up cool Opening Ceremony also copped in their fall lookbook. Finally, we're seeing another Edie Sedgwick revival in the leopard-print, brocade minidresses, and heavily-rimmed eyes. But then again, when isn't there one of those? More looks after the jump....

Chicago’s Coolest 80-Year-Old Reveals Her Beauty and Style Secrets

Meet Mamie Walton, local philanthropist, British import, and hands-down the coolest and most stylish 80-year-old we've ever met. We fell hard for Mamie for a million reasons, most notably her warm, positive personality and undeniable grace and style. We can only attempt to follow in her flawless footsteps, so to point us in the right direction Mamie shared her secrets for staying beautiful and maintaining stunning style at every single age. You'll have nothing but respect for this O.G. (Original + Gorgeous) once you learn how she's stayed this stunning into her 80s. These timeless tips from a master are ones you can't live without.



Beauty
1. Exercise. Mamie, a former dancer, is a firm believer in the benefits of exercise, and has always kept in shape. "Exercise is so important, it's kept me around for a great many years." She devotes at least an hour a day to exercise. "I spend at least 30 minutes each day at the ballet barre, and I use, you know, the Chinese Wand."

2. Skincare. "I'm very particular about my skin." Mamie was a fan of Erno Laszlo for 25 years, but eventually moved on to products from La Prairie, and her current favorite, from Dr. Ivo Pitanguy. "Specifics is his line, I just love it."

3. Positivity. "I am a very positive person." Mamie's positivity and bright personality were evident in our interview, and this tip came as no surprise. "My mother would say, 'Always have a smile,' I believe that positivity and showing interest in other people helps you look better."

Millen Magese dazzles in Jewel by Lisa | View the Autumn/Winter 2012 Lookbook


At the 2011 ARISE Magazine Fashion Week in Lagos, Tanzanian model Millen Magese opened the JBL show with a dramatic strut down the runway. Therefore, it is no surprise that the model takes on the starring role in the lookbook for Jewel by Lisa’s Autumn/Winter 2012 collection.

For the lookbook, the collection has been edited and we are presented with the most showstopping pieces. While the recent J Label diffusion line is targeted at “the girl next door”, this collection is for the “girl on tour”, with the sequined drainpipe pants and lots of prints paired with prints, this collection will unleash your inner rock chick!
