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.

Mon., Oct. 3, 2011 12:00 PM PDT by Daisy Becerra Ashley Tisdale, Nicole Richie Au Courant, Mystyle Blog Inset graphics 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. Shop the steal 'n' splurge below!

While all three ladies have worn the style on rather formal dresses, we recommend trying out the trend on a more casual frock. Let the clean lines speak for themselves with minimal jewelry, nothing too fussy or fancy. Lastly, make sure to avoid wearing the look with athletic shoes, otherwise you might look like you're late for a tennis match! Heels or a feminine flat will do just fine to finish off the sporty style. Shop the steal 'n' splurge below!

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.
