Modern Bombshell: This Seasons Sophisticated Sexiness Puts the Focus on Fit

After so much blousy this and billowy that, it seems a little structure is in order. The solution? Make like a femme fatale in fashion-forward, formfitting pieces that hearken back to a time when styles showcased the feminine silhouette instead of obscuring it. Start with retro-chic bodysuits, couture-meets-punk pieces from Alexander Wang and LaROK, and skinny jeans so tight they could stand in for leggings. Because as we see it, if we're putting in the time on the Pilates Reformer, we might as well show off the results. Body-conscious styles fit for a modern bombshell? Find 'em right here, at shopbop.

First Fashion: Our Favorites from What's New

We’re in the middle of a heat wave. So why am I humming Jingle Bells and acting like Christmas in July actually exists? Because we’ve got loads of fur-trimmed, cozy newcomers in What’s New.
	Juicy’s Snow Zip Quilted Cuff Boot has a fetching wedge heel and comfy sherpa lining.
	Lighter weight, but still appropriate for cool temperatures, this 3/4 sleeve coat from Juicy has a detachable faux fur collar and cheeky logo buttons.
	I’m a sucker for furry angora, and I love the cropped sleeves on this cardigan from Alexander Wang.
A/C not cutting it? Imagine you’re in an igloo, with a little help from shopbop.

W’s Sublime Summer Camp

I finally had a chance to look through my July issue of W this weekend, and the brilliant Bruce Weber photo story immediately caught my eye. The question: What would happen if a flock of new designers hit the road for a summer adventure with a handful of top models? The answer: Lazy days filled with beautiful people in exquisite clothes. W and Mr. Weber showed off their fashion power, bringing together the hottest young names in the industry – Alexander Wang, Laura and Kate Mulleavy of Rodarte, Georgina Chapman of Marchesa, the ubiquitous Ms. Moss – for a class picture of fashion’s future, and some “candid” shots that suggest just a hint of sublime debauchery.

This is one summer camp I’d love to attend.

Our Must-Have Look of the Moment

We may not be catwalkers hot off the resort runways, but with a little inspiration from Alexander Wang, we can look like we are. The formula is simple: blazer + white tee + cutoffs. Add to that a little devil-may-care attitude and we've got a model-off-duty look to rival the top of the top models. It's the must-have look of the moment, and you can find it at shopbop.

London Calling: Let Your Inner It Girl Out

London's calling, and it's not to chat about royals and afternoon tea. This one's about alt-cool street style, and a certain Brit-born, pixie-coiffed top model has us itching to emulate her look. How to do it? We've got your cheat sheet of key elements - a shot of funky color, leggings, skinnies, Chucks, Wayfarers - and the names you need to know - Alexander Wang, Anna Sui, Twenty8Twelve. It's style that's one part clothes and three parts pure attitude. You know you want it. Find out how to get it, right here, at shopbop.

First Fashion: The Best of What's New

Too many days in a row in jeans and a tee has me craving something a little fancy.
	Like a modern take on that effortlessly elegant ’70s-Hollywood-Pool-Party look I’m forever traipsing after. It shimmers ever so slightly, and I love how the sheer overlay subdues the bold print of the skirt. (Iisli - Shimmer Nile Dress)
	My love affair with blazers continues! This one evokes the elegance of men’s formalwear, but with a decidedly feminine fit. I’m wearing it this weekend with dark skinnies, a white tee, and my patent Loeffler Randall Pumps. (Alexander Wang - Boyfriend Blazer)
	I’ve been losing my mind over Elizabeth and James ever since the first pieces started trickling in a couple months back. As this top shows, the designers have clearly mastered that elusive combination of fashion-forward, feminine, and utterly wearable. (Elizabeth and James - Joni Tunic)

First Fashion: The Best of What’s New

Today has found me drawn to brown, not so uncharacteristically, and one gorgeous shot of color.
	Every summer I find a pair of sandals that I love and wear until there’s nothing left to them, and with these in my closet, this year will be no exception. They’re basic, adorable, and offer a level of comfort rarely found in barely-there flat sandals. (Corso Como - Marice T Strap Sandal)
	Maybe it’s the natural kick I’ve been on or maybe it’s that whole notion of flying away that feathers conjure, but when these little wonders crossed my desk, I knew I was in love. They add a dramatic flair to any look, and they do it without weighing down my lobes. (Ra Creations - Lolita Feather Earrings)
	I’m a girl who loves her neutrals, but I’m a sucker for a rich dollop of purple too. This little frock is elegant and sweet and so perfect for every wedding, party, and feeling-flirty night summer has in store. (Alexander Wang - Tank Wrap Dress with Pleat Detail)
That’s only the beginning. Find more in What’s New.
