The pixie haircut, the sequined collar on the blouse, the sleeves rolled up, the high-waisted suede pencil skirt, the yellow clutch, the pink socks and neutral booties.... perfection!

Another fashionista that opts for a transitional spring look and gets a marvelous result. Stephanie LaCava, fashion writer and frequent contributor to Vogue and The New York Times; wears a furry jacket on top a colorful spring outfit, and as if that wasn't already cool, she went for bright orange socks with high-heel sandals... genius!

coco mademoiselle... she's just a tease!

the look: hilary rhoda

Hilary Rhoda wore this Chloé ensemble at Chloé's private cocktail reception to benefit New Yorkers for Children.

I love how she managed to wear shorts and a fur jacket in the same outfit; obviously making a statement about entering a new season. This is a fabulous example of a transitional spring look, while it's still a bit chilly in the evenings, the fur jacket became the perfect match to those shorts.

must have: the floppy hat

Floppy hats were all over the runway during spring/summer season shows, no doubt influence of the huge 70’s trend that is already taking place and rocking the streets everywhere.

A hat is a great accessory to include in your outfits, whether it’s hot or cold outside, it will protect you from the sun and/or keep you warm in winter. And it’s not just about the functionality; a hat can be used as an ornament, a social status symbol or a glamour touch into your personality.

Brigitte Bardot, Audrey Hepburn, Faye Dunaway, Julie Christy, Ava Gardner and Bianca Jagger are some of the fashion icons that have turned the floppy hat into a timeless symbol of style. Get inspired by the looks of the 50s, 60s and 70s; who better than Eddie Sedgwick to demonstrate how glamorous floppy hats are.

the look: alexa chung

Alexa Chung's effortlessly cool style: navy polka-dot blouse with burgundy denim, quilted Chanel black purse and lace-up booties.

saint patrick's day

I'd love to embrace the "green" trend today with this amazing pair of platforms spotted on Daphne Guinness at London fashion week.

the look: sarah hyland

I'm not a typical follower of the "really young" hollywood stars, but this girl captured me at her t.v. show (Modern Life) and yet again with her style, she reminds me of a young Mila Kunis.

Sarah attended the "Beastly" movie premiere (which is a movie I'd never drag myself into) and wore this incredible dress by Alice+Olivia and Aldo nude pumps. I want that dress now!

140 years of Bazaar

Harper's Bazaar magazine is celebrating its 140th anniversary!.. can you believe it all started in 1867?
Log into their website for a chance to look at the amazing photos they shared with us through all these years..

The first cover of Harper's Bazaar in 1867, back then, cover art and fashion trends were sketched; they didn't even use colors, just plain drawings. This first issue was devoted to fashion and literature; did you notice just one "a" in Bazaar?

Andy Warhol and Tama Janowitz in 1986.

A lipstick layout shows Brodovitch's painterly approach. (1945)

Avedon's most memorable covers; this one features the great Audrey Hepburn in 1956. Did you see the price?... It cost 60 cents.

In 1951, Vreeland styled this composition and put her own hands in the shot.

inspiration: reality bites

Reality Bites... by far one of my favorite movies ever... 90's grunge style, rebellion, the after college crisis of "what now?" and cigarettes, lots and lots of cigarettes...

the look: chloe sevigny

Chloe Sevigny wearing one of her designs for Opening Ceremony spring/summer collection at the GO INTERNATIONAL Designer Collective Launch for Target.

I loved how she paired the "Lesley" leopard print dress with the tuxedo accents and tights.
