First Fashion: Our Favorites from What's New

I had my fashion coming of age on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, so anything black with an avant-garde edge is certain to capture my eye. (And my heart.)

The ultimate luxe layering piece. I love this over a tank for day or on its own with a few delicate necklaces for night. Bop Basics Cashmere Button Front Halter Vest

Drapey Italian cashmere in a brilliantly unexpected, hooded, oversized shape. This one’s sure to be in heavy rotation. Bop Basics Cashmere Athletic Hooded Poncho
Provocative? Of course, but also sophisticated, beautifully crafted, and utterly wearable. The boot that brings slouchy cashmere and stretchy leggings to a chic new level. LD Tuttle Serpent Slouch Over The Knee Boot

First Fashion: Our Favorites from What’s New

Sure, it’s only July, but with the continuing influx of fall finds, my mind can’t help but drift to the autumn months. That’s why today I’m looking for pieces as right for right now as they are for three months from now.
The key to playing the summer-into-fall transition game? Versatility, and there’s nothing quite as versatile as a pretty scarf. Long enough to double has a beach sarong and perfectly cozy wrapped around the neck, this one’s my latest fashion go-to. A Peace Treaty - Phatak Buff Scarf
Cashmere is the ultimate fall wardrobe must-have, but with its breezy silhouette, this light-as-air concoction is a summer-night must, too. I’ll wear it with shorts and flat sandals now and with skinnies and boots later. Bop Basics - Cashmere Cocoon Crew Sweater
From the shopbop newcomer with the aptly chosen name, this little cardigan is my latest object of obsession. Perfect with pretty much everything, I’m getting one in every color. Cardigan - Ribbed Open Cardigan
It’s time to start thinking about fall, but that doesn’t mean you should stop thinking about summer. Find your own covetable transition pieces in What’s New.

First Fashion: Favorites from What’s New

I’m coming off a long weekend that included a very ladylike baby shower, so I’m in the mood for some luxe glamour with an effortless slant.
There’s nothing hotter than a pair of high-waisted jeans this season, and these have a brilliant leg to match. They’re trendy, yet I know I’ll wear them for years. (See by Chloe - High Waisted Wide Leg Flare Jean)
Red, patent, sexy cut? They’re my picture of shoe perfection. I have a closet full of KORS, and I’m adding one more pair to the bunch. (KORS Shoes - Wicked Asymmetrical Sandal)
Jewelry’s going big this fall, and this necklace will get me started on the trend. Classic in its metal yet funky in its design, I’ll be wearing it for the next six months. (tuleste market - Solid Petal Necklace)
Add my trusty white Bop Basics tee to that trio, and I’ve got my ideal ensemble. Find yours in What’s New.

Style It :: McQ Tuxedo Short

With the promise of summer’s heat on the horizon, it’s time to find some city-chic shorts because as much as I love my jeans, they just don’t cut it when the mercury’s pushing 90. I love the McQ Tuxedo Short, but the red waistband makes finding a fab top to match a little tough. Enter my old standby Bop Basics tank in white. Together, they create a clean palette that invites dramatic accessories.

Let’s start with the bag because, if you’re like me, you have a slight obsession with all things handbag related. It’s got to be on-trend, roomy, and downright showstopping. The Foley + Corinna Metallic City Clutch is all three. For my feet, I’m returning to the white palette and donning Eileen Shields’ Elliptical Sandal with its avant-garde design and sexy height. And then comes the jewelry. I love delicate gold necklaces, but I want to make a statement. I’ll layer on two Gorajana Savanna Wrap necklaces and relish in the best of both worlds, and then I'll add a set (or two) of their Studded Bangles for a sweet jangle at the wrist.

It’s a clean, classic look, which is what I like best. How would you style it?

Look Good Do Good

What happens when doing good meets looking good? Our Fashion Gives Back tees. Glamour magazine commissioned these wearable works of art by Jovovich-Hawk, Erin Fetherston and Thakoon, and for each one sold, 6 mosquito nets are donated to women and children in Tanzania through Malaria No More, an organization dedicated to fighting a disease that kills one million children in Africa each year. Wearable, limited-edition works of art that help fight malaria? Well that’s just plain brilliant, and you can get yours right here, at shopbop.

A Flare for the Dramatic


Famous for its hip-slimming, leg-elongating properties, the flattering flare has attracted a devoted following since its arrival on the denim scene in the groovy '60s. Though often associated with a laid-back, guitar-strumming brand of cool, the flare's inherently dramatic silhouette also plays well with spring's fashion-forward trends.
Put an uptown spin on hippie chic by pairing a light wash flare (try Seven's Super Flare Jean) with a flowy floral top (we love this one from Nieves Lavi) and a sleek, peep-toe heel (like Robert Clergerie's Japons d'Orsay Pump) in an elegant neutral. Take the standard-isse tank-and-jeans into stylish new territory by teaming a dark wash flare (this pair from People's Liberation is a shopbop exclusive) with a boldly colored tank (like this brilliant one from Bop Basics). A bikini top (Rosa Cha's is gorgeous) peeking out adds a breezy sexiness, while a bright sandal (these are by Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti) pulls the playful-yet-sophisticated look together perfectly.
Break that all-black-for night habit. Style a color-saturated flare (we adore this retro-cool Dittos pair) with a slinky top in a standout print (this pretty peacock piece is by MLH) and a major heel for a look that's certain to set you apart from the fashion pack.
