White Lace Skirts | yohana

TREND: White lace skirts
WHO'S WEARING IT: Chloë Sevigny (Chloë Sevigny for Opening Ceremony), Kim Kardashian (Intermix) and Joanna Garcia Swisher (Intermix)
HOW TO WEAR IT: The lacey skirt is a staple in any girly-girl's closet and for good reason. The delicate bottom can be paired with practically any color on top and can be dressed up or down. However, we do recommend you chose your shirt wisely—avoid looking overly prissy like Kim with a pink pussy-bow blouse or too edgy with a cutout leather top à la Chloe. Instead, take a style cue from Joanna and strike a balance between the two with a solid silk tank in your favorite hue. Finally, make sure to tuck in your top to highlight the smallest part of your waist. Also, feel free to rock your white number after Labor Day, we dubunked that myth years ago!

Transition Your LWD Into Fall | yohana

Transition Your LWD Into Fall | yohana

TREND: Winterized white dress
WHO'S WEARING IT: Pippa Middleton, Jamie King and Lindsay Lohan
HOW TO WEAR IT: Even though we just celebrated Labor Day, gals can rock a LWD beyond the hot months. The key to taking the piece from summer to fall is by pairing it with dark hues and thicker fabrics. Note how Jamie made her outfit winter-friendly by pairing it with a gray knit top. Like her, Pippa fought off the windy weather in her frock by rocking a black blazer and matching knee-high boots. On a more casual day, contrast the white dress with a button-down à la Lindsay. But if it's your gams are the ones that tend to catch a case of the chills then wear opaque tights to keep you warm.

High-Heeled Loafers | yohana

TREND: High-heeled loafers
WHO'S WEARING IT: Hailee Steinfeld (Louis Vuitton), Louise Roe and Malin Akerman
HOW TO WEAR IT: The traditional school girl loafer of your childhood just got a very fashionable lift. When elevated as a sky-high heel, the shoe takes on a preppy, yet sexy tone—call it librarian chic, if you will. The trend kicked off with Hailee, but has been going strong all fashion week, as seen on Louise and Malin, not to mention stomping down the runways of Peter Som and Ralph Lauren. We recommend playing up the preppy vibe by pairing it with a below-the-knee pleated skirt and a cute cardi. Or if you're feeling extra daring, the kicks would look absolutely darling with a shorts suit.

Hot NYFW Trend: Scallop Dresses Toughen Up | yohana

Hot NYFW Trend: Scallop Dresses Toughen Up | yohana

TREND: Scallop-detailed dresses
WHO'S WEARING IT: Victoria Beckham (Victoria by Victoria Beckham), Emma Roberts (Jill Stuart) and Jaime King (Jill Stuart)
HOW TO WEAR IT: A scalloped-detailed dress gives off an ultra-girlie feel, but when teamed with the right accessories it can actually look edgy. The darker the hue of the frock, the easier it is to toughen it up. For instance, all Emma had to do was pair it with nude pumps and a black clutch. On the other hand, Jaime had to give her multicolored number a boy-meets-girl touch by matching it with chunky, lace-up oxfords. But if you aren't digging menswear pieces, then take a cue from the posh mama and contrast the dress with black booties.

Stars Make a Fiery Appearance on the Emmy Awards Red Carpet | yohana

TREND: Red gowns
WHO'S WEARING IT: Nina Dobrev (Donna Karan), Kerry Washington (Zuhair Murad), Lea Michele (Marchesa), Kate Winslet (Elie Saab), Adrianne Palicki and Sofia Vergara (Vera Wang)
HOW TO WEAR IT: From Nina Dobrev's crimson strapless to Sofia Vergara's coral one-shoulder, the stars were unafraid to rock shades of the look-at-me color on the Emmy Awards red carpet. The actresses kept from blending in completely with the floor beneath them by opting for fiery dresses with striking details, such as Kerry Washington's sheer skirt, Lea Michele's puff sleeves, Kate Winslet's plunging keyhole neckline and Adrianne Palicki's thigh-high slit. To look camera-ready for your own special occasion, try accessorizing a red full-length number with glittering jewels, metallic purse and heels or even a matchy-matchy clutch and lips.

Grecian Goddess Dresses Make a Cameo at the Emmy Awards | yohana

TREND: Draped gowns
WHO'S WEARING IT: Louise Roe (Nicole Miller) and Cobie Smulders (Alberta Ferretti)
HOW TO WEAR IT: In a sea of body-skimming red gowns, two stars stood out at the Emmys for rocking an awards show standard: a Grecian draped gown. Fashion commentator Louise Roe opted for a mustard Nicole Miller halter with a skirt that had loose hanging folds, while How I Met Your Mother's Cobie Smulders stunned in an aqua Alberta Ferretti cold-shoulder number with draped sleeves and pleated neckline and skirt. When emulating the look, pick a dress that partly hugs your figure so that your silhouette isn't overwhelmed by all the fabric. Bold, chunky accessories provides the right contrast to the soft designs.

Leather Turns Rust-Colored for Fall Mon., Oct. 10, 2011 2:00 PM PDT by Daisy Becerra Evan Rachel Wood, Sophia Bush, Olivia Palermo, Corinne Bailey Rae Au Courant, Mystyle Blog Inset graphics TREND: Rust-hued leather WHO'S WEARING IT: Evan Rachel Wood (Gucci), Sophia Bush (Tibi), Olivia Palermo (Tibi) and Corinne Bailey Rae HOW TO WEAR IT: Lately, colored leather has been a huge trend—we saw everything from bright yellow to pastel pink. However, now that its fall celebs have been edging up their ensembles with a warmer shade. When matching a rust-hued piece gravitate towards lighter colors, like Olivia's white top. Pairing the reddish number with a black or gray top will make you look gloomy. Now, if you love wearing prints, a leopard pattern will work wonders with the shade. And for an unexpected touch, pair the bottoms with bright shoes à la Corinne. Feeling daring? Rock the trend in the form of a dress, but take Sophia's lead and keep rest of the ensemble simple. It's a gumshoe's mistake to wear the shade from head-to-toe like Evan. After all, you don't want to look like Carmen Sandiego! Shop the steal 'n' splurge below!

The easiest (and safest) way to sport the frock is with a pair of nude heels à la Keira. If the design has hints of black, then dark-toned pumps will do the trick. But, it's important not choose strappy shoes, like Alexa's. Want an edgier look? Then, take inspiration from Leelee, who matched her peplum version with olive lace-up booties. The reason they work is because they hit right at the ankle, unlike Hailee's mid-calf pair. However, follow the teenager's lead and play with the colors on the dress and match it with your clutch—you won't need any jewelry. And if you want to don the dress for a daytime outing, team it with a casual denim jacket. Now, to rock the trend everyday, opt for a shirt instead! Shop the steal 'n' splurge below!

The key to pulling of this trend is to work with knits that are fitted and cropped. It's also important to pick a layer that is a solid color so that it reads more like a top. Then, pair the piece with cute shorts, like Jordin's, or a flirty skirt, like Fergie's, and sexy heels. For how not to rock the trend, just look at Whitney. Her multicolored boxy version may look cozy, but "cozy" doesn't belong on the red carpet. As if that wasn't bad enough, she finished off her outfit with wide-leg pants and chunky platforms.

However, if you don't like wearing the material, the best way to rock the current trend is through accessories—a purse would be ideal. Choosing a black handbag may seem like the easiest, safest approach, but you can easily wear dark jewel tones with practically anything. Ashley rocked her wine-colored bag with a multicolored dress that had hues similar to the bag. Or, you can do the opposite and use your purse to add a pop of color to a neutral ensemble, like Nicole's green version.

TREND: Burnt-orange bottoms
WHO'S WEARING IT: Mary J. Blige, Selita Ebanks and Jaime Pressly
HOW TO WEAR IT: During the summer jeans went technicolor, now that the leaves are turning colors so are the bottoms. And this time around, they come in different styles. While shoe shopping, Jaime rocked a cropped version. She wisely knew to pair the autumn-friendly shade with a classic combo: a white tee and black blazer. Since the hue isn't too vibrant, you can easily rock the pair with prints. While the songstress rocked fall's go-to leopard pattern, Selita went a little more reserved by teaming her trousers with a multicolored abstract top. Notice how both gal's shirts have rich brown tones, which complements the pumpkin-inspired hue perfectly.

Celebs' Fall Purse Trend Is Out of the (Velvet) Bag! | yohana

Celebs' Fall Purse Trend Is Out of the (Velvet) Bag! | yohana

TREND: Velvet handbags

WHO'S WEARING IT: Nicole Richie (House of Harlow 1960) and Ashley Tisdale (Something Else)
HOW TO WEAR IT: One of our favorite fabrics during the chilly months is velvet. However, if you don't like wearing the material, the best way to rock the current trend is through accessories—a purse would be ideal. Choosing a black handbag may seem like the easiest, safest approach, but you can easily wear dark jewel tones with practically anything. Ashley rocked her wine-colored bag with a multicolored dress that had hues similar to the bag. Or, you can do the opposite and use your purse to add a pop of color to a neutral ensemble, like Nicole's green version. Now, if you are super daring, take a cue from the queen of boho and rock a velvet dress with your new go-to handbag.

Dress Up Your Sweater With These Easy Tricks | yohana

Dress Up Your Sweater With These Easy Tricks | yohana

TREND: Sweater tops
WHO'S WEARING IT: Jordin Sparks, Fergie and Whitney Port (Mike Gonzalez)

HOW TO WEAR IT: With the weather cooling down, it's time to incorporate a sweater into your partywear. The key to pulling of this trend is to work with knits that are fitted and cropped. It's also important to pick a layer that is a solid color so that it reads more like a top. Then, pair the piece with cute shorts, like Jordin's, or a flirty skirt, like Fergie's, and sexy heels. For how not to rock the trend, just look at Whitney. Her multicolored boxy version may look cozy, but "cozy" doesn't belong on the red carpet. As if that wasn't bad enough, she finished off her outfit with wide-leg pants and chunky platforms. Remember: it's all about proportion, ladies!

Stand Out From the Crowd in a Multi-Print Dress | yohana

TREND: Multi-print dresses

WHO'S WEARING IT: Keira Knightley (Mary Katrantzou), Leelee Sobieski (Mary Katrantzou), Hailee Steinfeld (Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti) and Alexa Chung (Mary Katrantzou)
HOW TO WEAR IT: While multi-print dressed can be extremely gorgeous, they can also be very tricky to wear. The easiest (and safest) way to sport the frock is with a pair of nude heels à la Keira. If the design has hints of black, then dark-toned pumps will do the trick. But, it's important not choose strappy shoes, like Alexa's. Want an edgier look? Then, take inspiration from Leelee, who matched her peplum version with olive lace-up booties. The reason they work is because they hit right at the ankle, unlike Hailee's mid-calf pair. However, follow the teenager's lead and play with the colors on the dress and match it with your clutch—you won't need any jewelry. And if you want to don the dress for a daytime outing, team it with a casual denim jacket. Now, to rock the trend everyday, opt for a shirt instead!

Leather Turns Rust-Colored for Fall | yohana

TREND: Rust-hued leather

WHO'S WEARING IT: Evan Rachel Wood (Gucci), Sophia Bush (Tibi), Olivia Palermo (Tibi) and Corinne Bailey Rae
HOW TO WEAR IT: Lately, colored leather has been a huge trend—we saw everything from bright yellow to pastel pink. However, now that its fall celebs have been edging up their ensembles with a warmer shade. When matching a rust-hued piece gravitate towards lighter colors, like Olivia's white top. Pairing the reddish number with a black or gray top will make you look gloomy. Now, if you love wearing prints, a leopard pattern will work wonders with the shade. And for an unexpected touch, pair the bottoms with bright shoes à la Corinne. Feeling daring? Rock the trend in the form of a dress, but take Sophia's lead and keep rest of the ensemble simple. It's a gumshoe's mistake to wear the shade from head-to-toe like Evan. After all, you don't want to look like Carmen Sandiego!

Gallop Into Fall With Horse-Print Separates | yohana

TREND: Horse print
WHO'S WEARING IT: Kourtney Kardashian (ASOS), Jayma Mays (ASOS) and Selena Gomez (Slimdog)
HOW TO WEAR IT: Animals of all sorts have been enjoying their golden moment in the fashion kingdom. Leopard and snake have been reigning large, but lately a new creature has been popping up in print form. Cop the horsey look with an all-over print like Kourntey and Jayma for maximum impact. We think Selena got it right though when it comes to the rest of her ensemble. Since the equine pattern can border on busy,it's smart to keep the rest of your look streamlined with one color.

Set Hearts Aflutter with Daring Pink and Red Combo | yohana

TREND: Pink and red combination
WHO'S WEARING IT: Victoria Justice (Naven), JoJo (Gabriela Candena) and Sarah Jessica Parker (Prabal Gurung)
HOW TO WEAR IT: Most girls don't want to look like a walking Valentine's Day card, so we can understand why pink and red have been left for dead in most circles. That said, sometimes it's the biggest fashion faux pas that turns out to be the chicest new trend. It's cool because it's unusual, and not just anyone is going to try it. We recommend achieving the look with separates like JoJo's skirt or SJP's pants. This way, when the color combo du jour has become so yesterday, you won't be out a few hundred dollars for a colorblock dress like Victoria's. As for accessories, we can only recommend nude or black. It may seem like a short leash, but anything else will look bona fide crazy.

Make Fall Feel Brighter With a Sun Ray Necklace | yohana

TREND: Spiked necklace
WHO'S WEARING IT: Jessica Alba,  Kelly Osbourne and Kim Kardashian (Erickson Beamon)
HOW TO WEAR IT: Collar necklaces have been a huge trend lately. While many celebs have rocked colored designs, others are going the edgier route by wearing spiked versions. The gems look great against the bare skin, so when paired with a strapless dress or blouse you'll be sure to make an impact, like mama Alba. But if you are more conservative, then take a cue from Kimmie and wear the stunner with a high-neckline. To make ensure the attention stays on the sun ray-inspired blind, avoid matching it with bold patterns, like Kelly.

Show Off Your Sexy Side-Ruched Dress | yohana

TREND: Side-ruched dress
WHO'S WEARING IT: Lea Michele (Alexander Wang), Vanessa Hudgens and Renée Zellweger (Carolina Herrera)
HOW TO WEAR IT: A ruched dress is practically a must in any woman's closet. Now, a side-ruched dress is sexy spin on the original, especially on a nude frock. Whether the detail is on the hip, or by the unexpected lower leg, like Lea, it has a certain je ne sais quoi feel to it. If you dress conservatively, pick a frock similar to Renée. The longer sleeves give it a sophisticated feel, which make this a great piece for the office. Want something trendier? Look no further than the PYT Vanessa. She went for a velvet number with thick straps. As for the perfect pair of pumps, elongate your legs by wearing a matching nude heel—especially if your dress hits below-the-knee. For something sassier, add a pop of color to your toes with a vibrant shoe, like the Glee gal's cobalt pick.

Spice Up Your Casual Wear With Leopard Denims | yohana

TREND: Leopard-print jeans
WHO'S WEARING IT: Nicky Hilton, Mandy Moore and Katie Holmes (all Current/Elliott)
HOW TO WEAR IT: Many people wear leopard print as a neutral. So it's no surprise that the feline pattern made its way into the ever-casual essential, jeans. Since too much animal print can be tacky, it is important to balance off the bottoms with a plain top. Mandy and Nicky both opted to match their denims with versatile gray tees. To add a pop of color, take a cue from Katie. She paired her jeans with a rich burgundy color. Other hues that can work wonders with the jeans are: mustard yellow, forest green and plum. Afraid of taking the risk? Shades of black, white and brown will do the trick. Just remember, stay away from graphic or printed tops.

Let Your Style Take Flight With a Cape Dress | yohana

TREND: Cape dresses
WHO'S WEARING IT: Sarah Jessica Parker (Giambattista Valli), Katy Perry (Giambattista Valli), Hailee Steinfeld (Maje) and Kendall Jenner (Richard Nicoll)
HOW TO WEAR IT: To many a cape may remind them of childhood superheroes, but as we know fashion has a way of taking inspiration from one's past. Enter the cape dress. Although this frock my seem like an unusual trend to many, it actually comes at a great time for fall. Now, you can keep warm without having to sacrifice style. If you love the trend, but are worried others won't feel the same way. We suggest picking a subtle, black version, which allows you to have fun with your accessories, like Hailee's leopard booties. Not afraid to go avant-garde? Sarah Jessica Parker's full-length version is perfect for a special night out. But, since it can only be worn occasionally, we suggest snatching a dress with a bright color à la Katy or hit two trends by picking a colorblock version, like Kendall. And for extra warmth match the piece with a pair of tights.

Turn Traditional Black and White On Its Head | yohana

TREND: Black-and-white blazer combo
WHO'S WEARING IT: Alexa Prisco, Emma Roberts (Dylan Alexa), and Jessica Alba
HOW TO WEAR IT: Black and white can seem a bit boring and predictable, so give the traditional combo a fresh spin by throwing on a much loved staple: a smart blazer. Layering a white jacket over all black is not only fun and unexpected, it brightens up an otherwise dark ensemble. Add in a key piece (or two!) for an extra dose of chic. Alexa gave her outfit a sexy spin by matching a mini with knee-high boots; Emma went edgy with leggings and a chain necklace; and Jessica stayed classic in black dress pants paired with a python clutch. Just remember you don't need to go overboard with accessories to make this look work—the piece that pops is that white blazer.

Protect Your Hair From Bad Weather With a Chic Floppy Hat | yohana

TREND: Floppy hats
WHO'S WEARING IT: Evan Rachel Wood (Gucci), Kim Kardashian (Gladys Tamez Millinery) and Brenda Song
HOW TO WEAR IT: Hats, of any kind, are essential during the summer because they keep you protected from the UV rays. Now, wearing headpieces during the fall and wintertime is also vital. Not only will it block away the sun during the daytime, but it'll keep your hair protected during the rain or snow. Coincidently, Kim and Evan's floppy hats matched the rest of the ensemble. While you don't have to do this, it is a chic way to embrace the monochromatic look. However, you can also pair it with some fall classics, like Brenda's leopard-print scarf. The only place we would suggest you stay away from the headpieces is at work. So, simply take it off as you step foot into the elevator!

Play Peekaboo With Keyholes | yohana

TREND: Keyhole fashions
WHO'S WEARING IT: Naomi Watts (Ralph Lauren), Kate Bosworth (Burberry Prorsum) and Lea Michele (Luca Luca)
HOW TO WEAR IT: Whether you want to show just a hint of skin or a good dose of cleavage, a versatile keyhole ensemble has got you covered. Running the gamet from conservative to wild, this flirty look lets you decide how bare you want to get. Go conservative in a floor-length black dress, like Naomi's, or opt for a more eclectic frock, like Kate's African-printed one if you want to move some attention away from your top-half. But if you're feeling daring, go all out like Lea—she paired a very revealing black wrap tulip vest with shorts. A keyhole works whether you're going out on a date or to a fancy event, especially if you add on just one complementary accesory, like a clutch in the same hue.

Hit the Dance Floor in Glitter-Dipped Disco Heels | yohana

TREND: Silver glitter-dipped heels
WHO'S WEARING IT: Alexa Chung (Miu Miu), Selma Blair (Brian Atwood) and Camilla Belle (Miu Miu)
HOW TO WEAR IT: A pair of disco ball-inspired heels can add just the right amount of sparkle to any ensemble. Although it is an unusual duo, you can pair the sparklers with a floral frock à la Camilla. Just make sure that the pattern isn't too intricate. However, if you aren't up for the daring challenge, team them with any solid-colored dress, like Selma's winter white frock. Want shoes with a little more edge? Booties will do the trick! Alexa's black-and-silver version is the perfect pick because they balance glitziness with a dark, neutral hue. And since these heels are sure to catch everyone's eyes, please refrain from rocking them during the daytime.

Show Off Your Kicks With Rise-and-Fall Hemlines | yohana

TREND: High-Low hemline skirts
WHO'S WEARING IT: Demi Lovato,  Kristin Cavallari (Funktional) and Leighton Meester (Jason Wu)
HOW TO WEAR IT: To many, a high-low hemline may seem a little too modern for their taste. However, with just the right styling it can look extremely elegant. Kristin made her skirt look chic by pairing it with a black shirt and blazer. Teaming the floral number with dark-colored accessories made it feel more fall-friendly. For a more casual take on the trend, pair the skirt with a casual white tank à la Demi. However, if you choose a plain skirt, like Leighton's black version, then you can practically match it with anything. Finalize the look, by flaunting on-trend ankle booties and voilà instantly hot ensemble.

Hit Your Sweet Spot With a Pink Pastel Dress | yohana

TREND: Pink pastel dress
WHO'S WEARING IT: Sarah Jessica Parker (Jonathan Saunders), Amber Heard and Fergie (Giorgio Armani)
HOW TO WEAR IT: Even though a pink pastel dress may bring to mind after school ballerina lessons, the pretty girlie hue can actually be edgy when paired with the right accessories. Take Fergie for starters, she teamed her pale blush version with a long black blazer and matching pumps. Now for a more daring move, all you have to do is apply a red lipstick à la Amber. However, when going for a bold pout opt for neutral heels. Not ready to fully embrace your inner bad girl? Fret not; we've got the solution for you, too. Combine one feminine element, like pearl or bow-shaped earrings, with gray accessories. Sarah Jessica Parker's metallic coat is the perfect example.

Patch up the Holes in Your Winter Wardrobe | yohana

TREND: Outerwear with elbow patches
WHO'S WEARING IT: Ashley Greene (Autumn Cashmere), Kim Kardashian (Meadham Kirchhoff) and Katie Holmes (unknown)
HOW TO WEAR IT: Elbow patches were originally used to fix torn garments when people couldn't afford new clothing, but now look how far the little patch has come! These days the patch makes a fashion-forward addition to any fall sweater or coat—just look how it elevated Ashley's otherwise ordinary gray pullover. We recommend picking up a patched piece that goes with the collegiate vibe à la Katie's preppy blazer, and then complimenting it with bootcut denim. Steer clear of mixing messages like Kim; edgy bold shoulders and tight leather pants don't make sense with the conservative elbow adornment!

Bag It Up—Boho Style! | yohana

TREND: Boho-inspired handbags
WHO'S WEARING IT: Ashley Tisdale, Heidi Klum and Kourtney Kardashian (all Simone Camille)
HOW TO WEAR IT: For a while now, the Bohemian style has been all the rage. But for those of you who haven't quite embraced it, we found the perfect solution for you, a handbag. Accessories are the best way to sport a trend, so why not do so with an essential you carry around everyday. If you are feeling bold, pick one that has bold orange and red tones, like the hot mamas. Otherwise, a subtle beige version à la Tisdale will do the trick. Plus, it's easier to match with. You can make your boho investment standout by pairing it with nude color. Simply steer clear of printed pieces, like Heidi's bottoms, and you'll be confused for Nicole Richie in no time. However, since the purses are on the casual side we suggest not taking them into the office.

TREND: Quilted jacket
WHO'S WEARING IT: Miranda Kerr (Balenciaga), Pippa Middleton (Whistles),  Elizabeth Olsen (ASOS) and Alexa Chung (Balenciaga)
HOW TO WEAR IT: The beauty of a moto leather jacket is that it can toughen up even the frilliest dress. But, now, a gal can balance femininity with edginess with the help of a black quilted topper. This particular design brings to mind the haute couture brand Chanel, which embodies timeless style. We're sold! If you opt for a leather version, like Miranda and Alexa, you can easily pair the piece with different black-hued items. And it'll instantly stand out because of the interesting pattern. You can also add an unexpected wow-factor to a preppy dress à la Pippa or to a little white frock, like Elizabeth's. This jacket is chic, edgy and will keep you warm—what more could a girl want?!

Accessorize Like a Queen With Cleopatra-Inspired Chokers | yohana

TREND: Cleopatra-inspired necklace
WHO'S WEARING IT: Whitney Port, Kourtney Kardashian and Kim Kardashian
HOW TO WEAR IT: When an outfit needs some extra pizzazz, look no further than a statement necklace. However, now, it seems like celebs are taking inspiration far back to ancient Egypt. Ironically, a Cleopatra-inspired chocker can also be quite modern, due to its unfussy nature. Since the piece is sleek, you can pair it with a printed top, like Kourtney did. Also, steer clear of going to literal à la Kim because it can end up looking too costumey. If you are afraid of over doing it like the reality star Queen, then choose untraditional designs. While Whitney opted for a looser necklace with blue gems, Kourtney went for a bold red hue version.

TREND: Thigh-high slits
WHO'S WEARING IT: Emma Stone (Lanvin), Kristen Stewart (J. Mendel), Grace Potter (Alexander McQueen), Jennifer Lopez (Atelier Versace), Nikki Reed (Michael Kors) and model Irina Shayk (Replay).
HOW TO WEAR IT: All of Hollywood is daring to bare—their thighs, that is. We weren't surprised to see a Rockette-inspired frock from J.Lo, but on Kristen? Color us shocked. But the Twilight star proved that it's a great way to show some major leg without being trashy, thanks to a more conservative upper bod. Want to try the fancy look yourself? The extreme high-cut is not for the faint of heart, but it certainly ups the sex appeal of a floor-length gown. Look for a slit that hits mid-thigh to avoid being cut off in an awkward spot—and so the world won't accidentally see your lady parts if a gust of wind blows by. With a dress like this, keep accessories minimal to tone the look down. Night on the town, here you come!

Make Others Green with Envy in a Leather Trench | yohana

TREND: Green leather trench coat
WHO'S WEARING IT: Rachel Zoe (Burberry Prorsum), Fergie (Gerard Darel) and Lady Gaga (Valentino)
HOW TO WEAR IT: From turquoise green to emerald, the colorful trench is the perfect way to stand out in a sea of beige and black. First, avoid sporting the peacock hue from head to toe—only Lady Gaga can get away with that! And while Rachel's bright color is gorgeous, it's a bit limiting. Even the stylist extraordinaire had to wear it wear black! We think you'll agree, Fergie's forest green version hits the style spot. While you can always wear it with black like the pop singer did, the pine color can go with maroon, navy or mustard. Experiment with the trendy colorblock look with chic separates like a warm sweater and trousers.

Winterize Your Cocktail Dress With a Colored Faux Fur Bolero | yohana

TREND: Colored faux fur boleros

WHO'S WEARING IT: Olivia Palermo (Giorgio Armani), Ashley Olsen and Paris Hilton
HOW TO WEAR IT: Now that we are in prime holiday mode, you'll start hitting party, after party in no time. So team your pretty li'l frock with a colored faux fur bolero, during the wintertime. Unlike the classic hues (black, white and brown), these brighter versions are a little harder to pull off. So if you want to be on the safe side, pair this warm fashion with a LBD à la Olsen. You can also go the monochromatic route, by matching the color of your stole to your cocktail dress, like Olivia. Want to hit two trends in one chic look? Follow Paris' lead; choose a colorblock mini and match one of shades to the shrug.

Birds of a Feather Frock Together in Plumage Skirts! | yohana

TREND: Ostrich plumage skirts
WHO'S WEARING IT: Sarah Jessica Parker (Louis Vuitton) Amanda Seyfried (Prabal Gurung)  Blake Lively (Chanel) Sienna Miller (Matthew Williamson)  Jennifer Lopez (Emilio Pucci)
HOW TO WEAR IT: Let your style take flight by donning an on-trend plumage skirt! After being banished to the land of tackiness for about a decade, the look is making a stylish comeback with celeb trendsetters successfully avoiding the mistakes that made it a fashion no-no. If you want to rock ostrich plumage, the key is moderation. A feathered skirt screams au courant, but a dress that's embellished with feathers all over screams Black Swan attack. Ostrich plumage is difficult to pull off even for weathered fashionistas, so pay careful attention to your shoes and accessories. Wear it with basic, solid color pumps and light jewelry like SJP and Sienna did. Also, unless you want people thinking you tried to work the bird look for your do as well, the texture of your hair should be as different from the frizz of your frock as possible! If you have naturally curly or wavy locks, slick it back away from your face like Blake and J. Lo did.
And this should go without saying, but unless you can tell us how to get to Sesame Street, avoid wearing this trend in yellow at all costs!

Arm Your Winter Wardrobe with Contrast Sleeves | yohana

TREND: Jackets with contrast sleeves
WHO'S WEARING IT: Kelly Rowland (unknown), Vivica Fox (Chanel) and  Ashley Tisdale (Wink)
HOW TO WEAR IT: The two-tone outerwear trend first surfaced with leather sleeves back in March, but now is popping up in multitude of wearable iterations just in time for the winter chill. You can go for a rocker style like Kelly in a leather moto, although we would probably opt for a tamer color combination. If your style is more feminine, consider a ladylike tweed version à la Vivica . Lastly, if you're looking to get cozy while still looking chic, check out a shearling and suede number similar to Ashley's. No matter which type of jacket you settle on, choose a bottom that is either a neutral color or a shade that coordinates with the sleeve. Accessorize to fit the mood of your ensemble, and you'll be sure to nail the two-tone outerwear trend!

Shine Through the Holidays With a Sparkly Headband | yohana

TREND: Sparkly headbands

WHO'S WEARING IT: Dianna Agron, Kourtney Kardashian and Nicole Richie
HOW TO WEAR IT: With the help of a dazzling headband, you can stand out from the crowd this holiday season. Whether you choose to wear a winter white frock or a red cocktail dress, a headpiece will match with anything. But the best part is that you can choose a design that fits your personal style. If you are a boho-loving gal, then, of course, look to Nicole Richie. She opted for an embellished version, which went slightly over the forehead—a truly iconic '70s move. On the other hand, Kourtney went for a gold Grecian-style headband that can be worn with practically anything. And Dianna went the untraditional route by picking a design with multi-colored gems, which would look fantastic with a good ol' LBD. Just one word of caution: avoid teaming the piece with over-the-top earrings.

HOW TO WEAR IT: If you are a busy girl and don't have time to think of things like, "What necklace goes with this top?" Then, we have the perfect solution for you—embellished collars. Buying a dress with a dazzling statement maker à la Dianna Agron will make you look glam in a matter of seconds. Love the look, but want to more bang for your buck? Grab a brooch and pin it on a basic top or dress that has a high collar. We especially love how Blake updated her basic white button-down with a festive ribbon bow-inspired gem.

Rock Out This Winter in Leather Leggings | yohana

TREND: Leather leggings

WHO'S WEARING IT: Lauren Conrad, LeAnn Rimes and Nicky Hilton
HOW TO WEAR IT: Leather leggings have been in the fashion scene for some time now, but like many seasonal trends, they've made a comeback. And this winter, celebs have been sporting them to event after event. If your style is a little more feminine, look to Lauren. She teamed her rock 'n' roll bottoms with a white blazer and top that had a hint of pink. However, you can even team the pants with your favorite printed top. We particularly like Nicky's leopard-print sweater because its one part cozy, one part chic. Not afraid to live on the darker side? Pair a black studded top with your leggings, and you'll be looking like a real-life rockstar.

Add Extra Warmth to Your Blouse With a Faux Fur Vest! | yohana

TREND: Fur vests with long-sleeve blouses
WHO'S WEARING IT: Kourtney Kardashian (Adrienne Landau), Garcelle Beauvais and Alyson Hannigan
HOW TO WEAR IT: When a long-sleeve blouse just isn't cutting it, layer on a faux fur vest to fight the winter chill. The luxurious outerwear will complement the ladylike button-down extremely well. Balance the dressines of your top half with jeans—just make sure they're slim-fitting to ensure a clean, tailored look. If your plush piece is in a bold color, like Kourt's, an-all black ensemble is ideal. Otherwise, punch up a neutral version with a strong hue, such as Garcelle's marigold or Alyson's sapphire. Since the silhouette of your gams will be highlighted with body-hugging denim, heels (pumps or boots) are a must! Alyson's flat, mid-calf (seriously?!) pull-ons didn't elongate her legs and, unfortunately, her outfit didn't come together as nicely as the others' did.

What Sleek Fashionista Is Buried Under a Pucci Avalanche? | yohana

What Sleek Fashionista Is Buried Under a Pucci Avalanche? | yohana

Do not get us wrong: We love ourselves some Pucci. We can recite the history of our dear departed Emilio from his first client (the Reed College skiing team, as if you didn't already know that) to his ascension as one of the greatest textile print geniuses of the contemporary era. And yet, that very same label has begotten...this. The wearer is a sleek little fashionista; the coat, on its own, is harmless. But wait until you see the wide-leg pants and hat! The pants would look elegant under a more fitted top; and the hat would look fine topping a different ensemble. But put all these elements together, and the girl at the center simply gets buried under all that pink puffy pillowy Pucci. Emilio would turn in his incredibly elegant grave.
