Day to Night
Day to Night: One Dress, Two Ways by polyvore-editorial featuring shop handbags

You don't need to break the bank to expand your wardrobe: create multiple outfits with a single dress! We've created a day and an evening look with this dusky green, silk Chloe dress.

For the day look, pair a basic dress with a draped cardigan, a leather tote and flat sandals. Accessorize your day look with a nude or pink lipstick, tiger's eye jewelry (we love these teardrop earrings) and a classic menswear watch.

For a night out, pick a well-tailored jacket, tights and heels. Add a little zing with more sparkle - layers of gold chains, bangles, drop earrings, even a gold-chained bag. The crowning touch for our night look is a bright red lipstick.

Voila, one dress, two ways! How would you wear this dress for a night out?

Faux Fur Vest
Slopes to Street: Faux Fur-vescent polyvore-editorial featuring a v neck vest

Tired of the same parka-and-jeans look this winter? Try spicing up your wardrobe with a faux-fur vest. We picked up this trend on the slopes, noticing vests worn over sweaters and and legging-style ski pants. It's also migrated to the city where we see vests with sweaters and leggings or dark skinny jeans and boots. Pairing the same colored leggings and sweater will give you a sleek, long line and will really let your faux-fur vest pop. You'll be faux fur-vescent!

Koolaburra Fringe Boots
Koolaburra ankle booties (see more fringe booties)

From Margiela to Minnetonka, we're seeing fringe boots on the runway and on the street. Some of the boots like the Koolaburra Veleta wedge boot look like a toe peeking out from a long mane of suede. Some look like shaggy pets, while others have a more understated fringe accent.

Aquarius

Aquarians prefer to set trends rather than follow them. They dress unconventionally in clothes that set them apart from the pack. Aquarians are original and inventive, putting together outfits in combinations that would not even occur to others. They can be very imaginative, and live in their own ethereal worlds.

Do you find yourself gravitating toward unusual colors like acid green, sky blue, tangerine and gold? Do you pick fabrics and styles that make others shy away? Tell us about your Aquarius style or the style of your favorite Aquarian.

Are you an Aquarius at heart?

Mod Style

Do you love 60s style? If you idolize Twiggy and Mia Farrow during her Rosemary's Baby years, and are counting the days when peter-pan collars and trapeze dresses move back to the forefront, you may be mod.

Go-go boots, minis, peacoats, ladylike bags, ballet flats and color-blocking are key in the mod look which emphasizes a geometric silhouette in the torso (triangle trapeze dresses, rectangular shifts), and a lot of leg, often in an opaque tight. Top it all off with a mini bowler hat or a cloche and you're ready to swing, baby.

Spring 2012 Hair Trends
Spring 2012 Hair Trends by polyvore-editorial featuring hair accessories

From the French Twist to the Mod Bob, this spring's hair trends are all about the revival of classic styles. This upcoming season brings us away from the rolled-out-of-bed look that dominated last year's runways. We see more updo styles, including curls that are pinned up in the back, french twists and 40s-style big curls at the crown of the head. Retro doesn't mean replica though. This spring's styles pay homage, but with more modern looseness and fullness. The pinned-up curls aren't tight and perfect, they're more casual and relaxed. Likewise, the french twist isn't a tiara-ready helmet, it's an updo that looks like it was put together in minutes.

Some of the other trends we've seen include the rockabilly look, with a playful bouffant at the top, the side part with a cascade of waves over the shoulder, and the mod bob - but a messier, more natural version than the sleekly perfect 60s look from Vidal Sassoon.

From Runway to Realway: Pajamas
From Runway to Realway: Pajamas by polyvore-editorial featuring a short sleeve pajamas

Think pajamas are better left for the bedroom? Think again! This season, pajamas have made a major appearance on runways. Designer Rachel Roy made fashion headlines when she wore silvery-blue pajamas on the red carpet at a movie premiere. But what designers and celebs can get away with wearing in their rarefied anything-goes milieu doesn't always translate to workaday reality. What's the best way to bring this super-comfy runway trend to the real way?

Just add slouchy silk shirts with notched collars and piping - the classic pajama look - to a pair of tailored trousers or tucked into a skirt for work, or over a pair of skinny jeans for a more casual look. You can even wear the shirt open, like a soft jacket, over a tee.

Would you wear pajamas outside the bedroom?

DIY: Gold Glitter Clutch
DIY: Gold Glitter Clutch by polyvore-editorial featuring clutch bags

This season, glittery, sparkly gold clutches have popped up everywhere. We're especially smitten with Anya Hindmarch's oblong box clutch and her pale gold envelope clutch.

If you want a bit of sparkle to dress up your evening, you can make your own gold glitter clutch! Just take an old clutch, wipe it clean, mix glitter and Mod Podge, paint the clutch and let it dry. Presto - glitter clutch!

(Special thanks to Tiffany from iamstyle-ish.com for the awesome DIY!)

We used gold, but silver and rose gold would also look amazing. Shine on!
