Get the Look: Fall's Most Colorful Trends with Hanes


Fall trends with Hanes

Fall fashion means embracing our favorite neutrals and darker tones but this season offers plenty of bold, colorful options, too, not only for your clothes but for your undies as well. Hanes recently sent me a few pieces from their ComfortFlex and Live.Love.Color collections that have become instant favorites – they're tanks and bras in colorful, cute styles and patterns that create the perfect foundation under any look! Inspired by these supercomfy and super-stylish basics that are anything but, here are 3 ways to wear the trends this season (check out the 2014 Hanes lookbook for more ideas!):

Bold Colors: Brights are big and just about any color goes! Hanes Live.Love.Color scoop neck tanks and cute hoodies are available in colors to make women feel bright and carefree at any season.

Winter Florals: Floral prints are seasonless, just like Hanes Signature cotton camis - perfect layering pieces available in white and black that work year-round.

Chunky Knits: The chunkier, the better! Just keep your undergarments smooth and seamless, with Hanes ComfortFlex bras– they offer the perfect fit for every body.

Target and TOMS Team Up for the Holidays


Target and TOMS are teaming up on a limited-edition collection that will launch November 16, just in time for the holidays. TOMS is the shoe company built on the model of "one for one" - buy a pair of their beloved slip-on shoes, and a pair of shoes is donated to someone in need. And the Target collab will follow suit, so that with every purchase from the collection, donations of meals, shoes or blankets will be made to those who need it most.

The Look for Less: YSL Easy Bag

The YSL 'Easy' bag in burgundy suede was $995 at SAKS.COM but is currently sold out. This bag comes in a variety of colors and styles but one thing you'll always see is the large abstract "Y" that stands for Yves Saint Laurent.

While browsing STEVEMADDEN.COM, I came across this 'Bessiee' satchel and was instantly reminded of the YSL design because of the prominent "Y" shape on the front. The 'Bessiee' would make a beautiful companion for fall, available in rich burgundy, green, cognac or black for $98. Click the image below for details!

First Look: Rihanna Wears Alexander Wang for H&M


Designer Alexander Wang took to his Instagram account to share a photo of Rihanna wearing two pieces from his upcoming collaboration with H&M. The line doesn't hit stores until November 6th, but that didn't stop Riri from rocking her 'Wang'-adorned leggings and long-sleeve crop top combo while out and about New York City, where she's been hanging out for Fashion Week. This look clues us in to the fact that Alexander Wang for H&M will be sportswear-inspired, which is undoubtedly one of the hottest trends right now, along with normcore (I think the sneakers overlap both trends). It's not a look everyone can pull off and I can't say this particular outfit has me excited to see more, but that's just me. How about you, is the excitement building for the #ALEXANDERWANGxHM collaboration?
