America's Most Stylish Blogger Week #5: Tie-dye leggings
For our last challenge item, Bluefly.com sent each blogger charcoal tie-dye stretch leggings by Plan B. I don’t own anything like them in my closet, so the leggings were both a pleasant surprise and a bit of a challenge! With their tapered leg and contemporary fit, they turned out to be comfortable and fun to wear.
To allow the tie-dye leggings to take center stage, I made sure the other elements in my outfit were basic black. I layered a cropped leather jacket over a plain silk tee, then tucked it into a drapey wrap skirt. I picked out a few strong accessories to complete the look, including a pair of studded boots, a studded belt and a silver statement necklace. Against the solid black pieces, the unique pattern of the leggings is an unexpectedly chic twist!
I think the final look is young and experimental, giving off a N.Y. meets L.A. vibe. While the silver studs and tie-dye are fun, trendy details, the outfit is still sleek and polished. This is something I’d change into after work on Friday, an outfit for a spontaneous evening when you don’t have any plans except to have a fun time.
Please don’t forget to visit StyleList.com and Bluefly.com to vote for this outfit on America’s Most Stylish Blogger! I can't believe this is already the last challenge. I owe Bluefly and StyleList a huge thank you for allowing me to a part of this competition, and I'm so grateful to my readers and supporters who continue to vote for me and leave so many sweet messages!

America's Most Stylish Blogger Week #4: The plaid shirt
Although plaid shirts are enjoying a wave of popularity right now, I rarely wear them, mainly because I’ve yet to find one that I absolutely love. That was before Bluefly.com shipped each of us this Priorities plaid shirt in my favorite color—red! This was no ordinary plaid shirt. In soft, almost flannel-like cotton, the shirt features girly ruffle details and a very distinct pattern. It was plaid love at first sight!
Immediately, the shirt evoked to me images of the English countryside (the truth is I’ve only ever visited London, but hey, that’s what imaginations are for!). I wanted to do a modern take on that look, so I buttoned up a brown tweed vest over the shirt and pulled on a pair of dark jeans, then added a belt and boots to tie it all together. The outfit is a classic, comfortable look, but still very fresh and contemporary. I can easily see myself wearing this indoors, curled up by the fireplace on a cold day, or out on a Saturday afternoon Christmas shopping with the girls. And maybe—just maybe!—one day I’ll really have a chance to wear it in the English countryside!
Please visit StyleList.com and Bluefly.com where you can find out more and watch this week's guest judge weigh in on our outfits! And to my all old and new readers, thank you so much for supporting me in America’s Most Stylish Blogger and for all the kind comments! I will make sure to respond to each and every single one!

"It must be PH8!"
(Photos courtesy of PH8)
On Saturday, November 14, I'm attending the grand opening of PH8 (pronounced 'fate') at one of their Los Angeles stores. They're hosting in-store events all over the country in cities including San Francisco, New York City, Dallas and more, so check out their website to see if there's one near you. PH8 is Bebe's newly launched retail concept replacing BEBESPORT stores throughout the US and Canada. After looking over their selection of clothes, I'm impressed. The collection is composed of effortlessly sexy, streamlined pieces that easily take you from the gym to a lunch date to a night out--modern sportswear designed for stylish women on the go. I can't wait to attend the grand opening tomorrow and will be sure to post pictures!I also have an exciting PH8 giveaway coming up, so keep an eye out for that. In the meantime, please don't forget to enter the Wildfox Couture giveaway with Shop Moderne which ends THIS Sunday. Love you all and hope you have a wonderful weekend!

America's Most Stylish Blogger Week #3: The mini skirt
(All photographs by the amazingly talented John Erick Pabalan)
No color really speaks to me more than a lovely shade of pink. There's something so fun and deliciously girly about it, so I was delighted to find that Bluefly.com had sent over a Necessary Objects mini pencil skirt in just that color!
I scoured my closet for pieces that would balance out the va-va-voom vibe of the fitted, slip-on skirt. To put a modern twist on a classic look, I first chose a feminine cream blouse with a few cascading ruffles, then a short-sleeve collarless jacket with large gold buttons. Accessories, like black pointelle tights, simple lace-up oxford heels and an embellished cuff, completed the outfit.
I wanted to portray a look that was polished enough for work at a hip, young office, yet still downtown chic for grabbing after hours drinks with a friend. As any urban professional will tell you, comfortable pieces that can make a seamless transition from day to night are treasured finds! This Necessary Objects mini skirt, made of a soft stretchy poly knit, is definitely one of them and should be a staple in any working girl’s wardrobe.
Please visit StyleList.com and Bluefly.com to vote for this outfit on America’s Most Stylish Blogger! To all my wonderful readers and friends who have shown me so much support, I can't thank you enough and love every single one of you!

America's Most Stylish Blogger Week #2: Studded ankle boots
When I tore open the box from Bluefly.com and uncovered a gorgeous pair of suede studded ankle boots as our second challenge item, I was breathless with excitement! After all, it’s not every day you receive gorgeous Prada boots in the mail! The shoes’ ash gray color, rounded toe and serious sparkle factor were just screaming for a good party outfit, and I wasn’t about to deny them some fun.
I threw on a slinky, one shoulder mini dress in rich eggplant purple, one of my favorite fall colors, then added a gray faux fur vest to complement the boots. Several chunky pieces of jewelry—a huge gator ring, spike bracelet, rhinestone earrings and necklace—offered just the right amount of dazzle to my I-just-partied-with-the-band look. I love the idea of combining studs, fur and rhinestones—a fusion of edgy yet luxe details, very appropriate for fall 2009!
Each piece in the outfit is sophisticated and mature, yet still manages to retain a fun, youthful edge, perfect for that on-the-go girl in her twenties living it up in the big city! The studded boots take her from the office to the concert to the afterparty and then…to wherever else the night will take her!
