Fashionable Raincoats

Raincoats are making a comeback and making their own fashion statements. This year, go for a raincoat in a different color or style. I love the brown color and the delicate details of the Marc by Marc Jacobs Long Raincoat ($358 at Neiman Marcus). The standard trench coat goes purple with this Gallery Satin Twill All Weather Trench Coat ($98.90 at Nordstrom).

Here are more fashionable raincoats:

Studded Accessories For Under $20

Studded anything shouldn't weigh a ton or in my book, cost a lot of money for a short-lived trend. (Invest in classics, I say.) That's where Forever 21 comes in. I saw a friend with one of the gray studded quilted clutch ($15.80) this weekend and was surprised at how well the bag and fixtures looked in person. Snatch up a couple as stocking stuffers for friends or a little gift to yourself that's under $20. Also, the small studded shoulder purse ($14.80) looks pretty cute as a cross-over bag.

Here are more studded accessories for under $20 at Forever 21:

Wrap Skinny Belt ($6.80)

Elastic Studded Belt ($6.80)

Studded Leatherette Headband ($3.80)

Studded Suedette Flats ($14.80)

Whitney Port Reveals Her Daily Beauty Routine

I love the MTV reality show, "The City", even though I know it's far from reality. I've noticed that Whitney Port always has this fresh faced LA glow no matter what. Stylehive showcases the products in Whitney Port's daily beauty routine that she talked about on her blog. I'm off to Sephora to get the NARS blush. (I love NARS!)

Lighted Wedding Dress

My friend Alison of Switch made this lighted wedding dress for her friend Julia's beachy wedding in Hawaii. I love how this feels like a true wedding dress of the future. After all, we are weeks away from 2010, no?

Alison writes:

It was decided that the dress should honor the metallic look but with a vintage inspired style. To do this, I focused on creating a soft and glowing design that played with the Victorian shape of the dress. The lighting design was intended to be simple with warm and cool whites. There were no flashing bulbs or severe bright spots. The spectacle of a lighted dress is enough on its own, There was no need to over do it with intense changing colors or a blinding reflection.

Alison even made this Luminex shawl for Julia to wear for the beach bonfire.

Rodarte for Target Collection

Another high-end fashion line makes it's move to Target, just in time for the holidays. The edgy-chic Rodarte for Target collection will launch in Target stores and online on December 20th. I am loving the mix of hard/edgy and soft/girly in the collection. From xray prints and leopard-print sequin frocks, to lace and tulle dresses with bow belts, the collection is really affordable with prices ranging from $9.99 - $79.99. The collection will be in stores from December 20 through January 31.
