WE LOVE: BLACK LEATHER

Don’t tell PETA, but we’ve got a thing for leather. We actually don’t care whether it’s real or not it just needs to be black, shiny, and hot. Black leather used to only be reserved for jackets in the fall and winter bootsbut there’s no reason not to get your leather on in the spring and summer too with the lightweight options designers have come up with. Whether you want a casual look, something for a cocktail party or a have a formal event to attend, you can never go wrong with 

5 MOST STYLISH CELEBRITY MOMS

There are only two days left until Mother’s Day and we couldn’t celebrate one of the best holidays of the year without paying homage to some of the most stylish mothers in Hollywood. A lot of women fall victim to soccer mom culture after having kids and their style goes from fab to drab but these fashionable mamas haven’t let being a mom slow down their looks one bit. In fact, some of them have even gotten better with time. Here’s our list of the five most stylish famous mothers around

Kimora Lee Simmons

Kimora doesn’t do many red carpets, especially now that she’s in more of a behind the scenes role with JustFab.com instead of being the face of her clothing line, Baby Phat, but when this former model does take pics for the paparazzi she’s fabulous. Kimora is all about femininity and sexiness in the fitted dresses and super tall heels she wears and we sometimes forget three babies came out of that fit body

OULD YOU ROCK? PATENT LEATHER DRESSES

We’re used to seeing patent leather on shoes and handbags, but dresses is a bit of a new things.

Not long ago, Lala Anthony and Adrienne Bailon stepped out at two separate events rocking full-on patent leather dresses that have us thinking this is a new trend that could catch on soon. Lala’s was a $3,375 Antonio Berardi Paneled Stretch Crepe Dress from the designer’s Spring 2012 line and Adrienne Bailon stepped out in a dress from designer Laquan Smith’s Robotic Dream collection, also from this season’s runway.

Since Lala’s dress only has patent paneling on the upper half, we think pulling off that look would be easy enough, but wearing this material like Adrienne from shoulder to knee cap looks a tad tricky, especially in the summer heat. The girl look’s hot though—perhaps literally!

TREND TO TRY: HIGH-LOW SKIRTS

You’ve probably noticed by now that there’s a trend that’s catching on big time among celebs and everyday retailers: high-low skirts. At first people were a bit slow to latch on to this look because it was like a bad 80s revival, hence the nickname “mullet skirt.” We all remember the poofy dresses that were short in the front, long in the back, and sometimes tiered, and nobody wanted to return to that look. But thanks to some simplifying and a 2012 upgrade, this style is coming back in a fashion forward way this season and we like.
