Get Her Look: Blake Lively

Blake Lively is a lucky girl, not only does she have designers vying for a chance to work with her (like Gucci and Chanel) she also plays an Upper East Side fashionista on Gossip Girl. If we counted correctly that sounds like two amazing wardrobe opportunities. Here, Blake was spotted on set embodying the infamous Serena van der Woodsen in an outfit that was choc full of colors, textures, and patterns. Blake has proven to be a star not only when it comes to acting but dressing too so EG wants to help you get her look!

Wanted List: Fall Vests

 Vests have been hot on the fashion scene lately. It all started a few years back when everyone and their mother could be spotted in a fur rendition. While the fur vest is still a cool look, the vest trend has evolved beyond fur and is now available in so many different styles. Vests are great pieces for fall because they add an extra layer without being too heavy. We suggest adding a vest (or a couple) to your back to school shopping list so peep our five favorite styles below for some sleeveless inspiration!

 

                         $65.
EG thinks that the denim vest is an absolute essential. This piece will take you through all four seasons and will always add an effortless edge to your look. Whether you throw it over a flirty dress for summer or layer it on top of a chunky sweater in the fall, this vest will provide you with countless stylish looks! This Brandy Melville one is great because it has low cut sides under your arms allowing trendy sleeves to flow perfectly through them without that annoying scrunch factor.

Get Her Look: Solange Knowles

No surprise here: Singer-songwriter/actress/DJ Solange Knowles has been bursting all over the fashion scene.
Last month, Solange showed up to Trident’s “See What Unfolds” performance in Times Square wearing a colorful Roberto Cavalli spring 2012 satin blazer over a simple black top and shorts with Pierre Hardy plastic strap sandals and a CC Skye Niki clutch.

Wanted List: Mid-Knuckle Rings

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sometimes when accessorizing, it’s not necessarily one piece of jewelry that creates a memorable look but instead lots of little pieces put together. For example, the perfect arm party or a carefully planned out ring mixture can create a super trendy accessory combination.
When it comes to packing on the pieces there’s a beloved trend in jewelry: the mid-knuckle ring. These tiny, delicate rings sit between your knuckle and fingertip, and they’re just plain adorable. We think they look absolutely stunning when combined with lots of other jewelry or even if they are featured by themselves. Stars like Vanessa Hudgens love this new look and we think you will too!
