Jennifer Aniston's Hilarious New SmartWater Video!

Yes we love fashion and fashionable stars, and we adore the always lovely Jennifer Aniston.... but what we love even more than her iconic hair and casual chic fashion choices is her wonderful sense of humor!

SmartWater just released a new video campaign, featuring Jennifer Aniston re-enacting just about every rumor that has ever been said about her in a hilarious, carefree way!  From being preggers with triplets, to diva at a workout, to bad driving, to swimming in a pool of only SmartWater, she pokes fun at herself in the most delightful ways.  And what about that hair at the very end???

Watch the video above for a good laugh!  We love her all the more now!

Marc by Marc Jacobs Spring 2013

What's a girl to do with so much color??  Why, squeal and celebrate like a kid in a candy store of course!

While we've gushed about some stunning runway looks we watched stalk the runways during New York Fashion Week, many of them up to this point have been all about clean, classic lines, solid color blocking, and tailored sophistication.  And then Marc Jacobs explodes down the catwalk, blowing our chic hairstyles back with bold colors, patterns, loose hemlines, and socks!  Oh my, the socks!

Take a look at some of our favorite looks!  What do you think about the turbans and chunky stacked bangles?  And those scarves on top of layer on top of layer!  Wow!

Look We Love: Printed Jumpers

It may be still blazing hot in Southern California (our hottest months are still ahead) but everywhere else it seems is cooling off a bit as we hit the Fall season in about a week.  And a fashion staple that I'm obsessed with in transitional periods just got a fun new twist!  Enter:  patterned jumpers!

Yes, florals are great for Spring and Summer, but they make a chicly bold statement when brought into the fall, and having them all over a drapey panted jumper is a slice of flower heaven.  Patterned jumpers are popping up in the shops of all the major designers, and we fell in love with this one.

The vibrant colors play beautifully off the cream background color (a better choice for fall then white), and the cinched in waistline give the onesie a tailored and ultra feminine accent.  Pair this look with some solid colored low heels or flats, and a solid cross body bag and you're stepping into fall in full fashion swing!

What do you think of the jumper?

Spring 2013 Fashion Week: Victoria Beckham

Clean, sophisticated, and oh-so sexy!  Those are the 3 adjectives we feel best describe one of our favorite designer runway shows during New York Fashion Week for Spring 2013.  And who's the designer?  Victoria Beckham of course.

With a delightfully bold choice of vibrant red and color blocked lines, Victoria Beckham's Spring 2013 collection is not only tailored to a perfect T for the classic feminine silhouette, but the cutout accents and slightly mod details bring an elegant sex appeal to the line.

I personally never grow tired of color blocking, and was very excited to see it in a Spring preview.  But rather than blab on and on about it, why don't we just let the photos do the talking!  They most definitely speak for themselves!

Which is your favorite look from the runway?

New York Fashion Week: Donna Karan

The City was ablaze with hot and luxurious fashions this past week in New York, and we were gushing all week long while our favorite designers showcased their take on Spring 2013 fashion!

It's crazy right!  We're just getting into the swing of fall preparations, and already we're seeing the first look into what our spring will have for us!  And we're loving what we see!  

Donna Karan set the mood of her show as a love letter to New York where the city imagery was just as much a part of her show as the fashion.  Chalk full of "ready for everything" pieces, they elegant DKNY collection spanned the depths of chic red carpet ready gowns all the way to your most favorite weekend denim.  

And let us not forget the return of the fanny pack!  Yes!  Who would have guessed!  

Enjoy some of our favorite shots from the show!

Look We Love: Floral Jacket

We all probably know by now that floral printed jeans and pants were and are still all the rage in summer and fall fashion.  So we wanted to switch things up a bit from our go to bottoms, and bring the print up top.  

Florals are typically the expected print for the spring and summer, but when adding it in your fall wardrobe, and mixing it with tougher pieces like leather and boots, the result is not only unexpected, but worthy of a fall centerpiece.

We love this floral jacket in particular because of the black cuff and zipper trip which helps to bridge the pastels into a more rocker edge, seamlessly blending with other black accessories.  Pairing the jacket with a basic white T and pastel shorts keeps the look fresh and light, while adding a black leather over-the-shoulder bag and ring create a more fall appropriate pairing.  

Finish the look off with some classic black lace-up boots to coordinate with the bag and add a rocker chic appeal to the look.  It creates strength and a feel of effortless comfort as well.  

And another detail we love?  Topping the look off with a black bowler hat and round sunnies for a laid back but trendy chic update.

What do you think of the look?
