Trend Alert: Skinny Cargo Pants

The skinny cargo has been popping up on celebs all over the place lately (Above: Kim Kardashian; Julianne Hough; Jessica Alba; Hillary Duff). This trend can be dressed up as seen on Kim K. with a blazer and heels or down with a casual t-shirt and sandals as seen on Julianne. This trend is definitely suited best for those with skinnier legs not only due to the tapered leg but also because the cargo pockets on the side can add bulk to your thighs. Therefore, if you have bigger legs or thighs, this trend is probably not for you. But if you are lucky enough to have long lean legs and want to give this cute trend a try, below are some options to consider: Free People skinny military pants for $98 on www.piperlime.com; American Eagle military jegging on sale for $39.95 on www.ae.com; Sanctuary "Runway" skinny cargo pants for $119 on www.piperlime.com; Easy Money Jean Company skinny cargo pants for $125 on www.nordstrom.com; J Brand "Houlihan" cargo pants for $238 on www.piperlime.com; Jolt utility pants for $40 on www.nordstrom.com; 7 for all Mankind skinny cargo for $169 on www.piperlime.com.

Fashion Do: Straw Fedora Hats

One way to keep cool during the summer heat is to wear a hat and this summer it is all about the straw fedora as seen above on Rihanna, Vanessa Minnillo, Jessica Alba, and Diane Kruger. This style of hat is universally flattering and I myself own a straw fedora from Banana Republic that I wear all of the time! I think it looks particularly great when paired with my rayban wayfarers. If you are a fan of this trend and want to try it out, check out these options below: J. Crew panama hat for $58 on www.jcrew.com; Grosgrain border straw fedora for $28 on www.nordstrom; Sweet ruffle trimmed fedora for $9.80 on www.forever21.com; Tarnish straw fedora with contrast trim for $38 on www.nordstrom.com; J.

In Stores Now: Madonna/Lourdes "Material Girl" Collection

Madonna and her daughter Lourdes have teamed up to create an 80s-inspired clothing line aimed at teens. The collection is fittingly called "Material Girl" and is available only at Macy's stores and on www.macys.com. The hot mess known as Taylor Momsen of Gossip Girl fame is the face of the line as seen above in some of the pics from the line's lookbook. I think some of the pieces are relatively cute like the studded faux leather jacket (retailing for $78), but it is hard for this child of the 80s to get behind the 80s retro look. Some things are just meant to remain in the past. Prices are very reasonable (the faux leather moto jacket is the most expensive piece in the line). The collection also offers handbags and jewelry. Click here to shop the collection online: http://www1.macys.com/campaign/social?campaign_id=154&channel_id=1. Be warned that pulling off the lace bicycle shorts and the corset crop top may prove difficult!!!

Available on Target.Com August 29th: Temple St. Clair for Target Jewelry Collection

I told you in May that jewelry label Temple St. Clair will be creating a limited-edition collection of accessories for Target, which will be available on www.target.com from August 29th through December 26th. At that time pictures from the For Target collection were not yet available, but some pics of the new collection have now been released! Below: Necklace for $40; Earrings for $30; Ring for $30. How cute is that heart ring!

Temple St. Clair was founded by Clair Carr in 1986 when she was living in Florence. She is known for designs in 18-karat gold, including her signature rock crystal amulets, moonstone jewelry and angel charms.

Available December 19th: William Rast for Target

Target recently announced that it will be partnering with William Rast, founded by Justin Timberlake and Trace Ayala, to launch a For Target collection for both men and women featuring premium denim, outerwear, and sportswear. The collection will be available December 19, 2010 through January 22, 2011 at Target stores and on www.target.com. The photos above are from William Rast's AW2010 collection, but I will post pics of the target collection as soon as they are available!

The Rachel Zoe Project Season 3 Premiers Tonight!

Season 3 of one of my favorite television shows, the Rachel Zoe Project, premiers tonight at 10:00 p.m. ET on Bravo! Putting aside whatever feelings you may have about Rachel Zoe's personality or appearance, in my opinion at least, she sure knows how to style an outfit! I think she has an excellent eye for accessories in particular (her own accessories closet is 100% drool-worthy) and her knowledge of fashion history and trends is astounding to me. Plus, her assistant Brad is hilarious! If you love fashion like I do, this show is a must see! It's bananas!

Trend Alert: Scalloped Shorts

I can't believe that it is already August! While it is true that the summer months will be coming to an end soon, they are not over yet. Now is great time to pick up some cute end-of-summer pieces during summer sale season. One on-trend summer piece to consider are scalloped-edged shorts as seen above on Kate Bosworth, Whitney Port, Kate Hudson, and Emma Roberts. These shorts can be dressed up with blazer like on Kate Bosworth and Emma Roberts or down with some casual edges and denim as on Kate Hudson. I particularly like how girly this trend is and how the scalloped-edge sort of gives the illusion of lingerie. If you are liking this trend, below are a few options to consider: Pins and Needles scalloped lace tap shorts for $24 on www.urbanoutfitters.com; Lucca Couture chiffon scallop short for $48 on www.urbanoutfitters.com; BCBGeneration crepe de chine scalloped shorts on sale for $40.60 on www.bloomingdales.com; Alex Lane metallic scallop detail shorts for $135 on www.bluefly.com.
