The following is a guest post by Stylist Manifesto: Sometimes the most appropriate way to go is minimalist. From shoes to accessories, tops to bottoms, there are times when simplicity works best.
Shoes.
These ProKeds are extra fresh while maintaining an exceptionally simple aesthetic - $64 at Zappos.com
Onitsuka tigers are always fashionable, and these are no exception. These particular examples are unique in that there are no bright colors present, just a modern combination of white and gray. Pair these with denim or chinos and a white button-down or a tank underneath a simple track jacket and you’re good to go - $83.95 at Zappos.com
These Supra Thunder’s are super sweet suede high-tops. Nothing more, nothing less. Effortless chic - at Karmaloop.com
Accessories.
This Issey Miyake ‘Twelve’ watch designed for Seiko is minimalist design at it’s best. Each angle of the watch represents the hour. I would definitely recommend wearing this with rolled up sleeves because you’ll want to show this one off – at 2Modern.com
The nooka ZON watch is sleek and unlike many nooka timepieces, has the option of displaying time in a traditional way if you desire. I think the unique design and the way it sits asymmetrically on the wrist makes this watch perfect for the discerning modernist – at Nooka.com
These panasonic headphones are beautifully retro and not too flashy in their design. Sound quality isn’t too bad for the price either. The neutral color looks great regardless of the outfit - $49 at Turntablelab.com
Tops.

Many of us forget about the long-sleeve lightweight tee. This doesn’t have to be just an undershirt. It looks great by itself, especially highlighted with a great accessory (i.e. watch, bracelet, etc.). Some slick linen pants and sandals would also be right at home with this one - $19 at 80sPurple.com
The light-weight hoodie is another essential for the warmer seasons. Most heavier ones are just too hot to wear during the summer, even in the evening. However, the light-weight hoodie is about as heavy as a t-shirt, so overheating (and therefore sweating, eeeewww) isn’t an issue. This example is mad affordable too - Alternative Apparel Unisex Eco Zip Hoodie – $28 at 80sPurple.com
Bottoms.
Khakis aren’t just for the golf course. Especially with all of the variations we have, these summer staples are a beautiful way to maintain a crisp look for the bottom half - Men’s Long Beach pants – $109 at 80spurple.com
Nothing screams summer like linen! These loose-fit examples from 80’s purple go great with those onitsuka’s above, or some nice leather sandals. Pair with said sandals and an a-tee and you’ll be casually chic at the beach or at that pool party - $185 at 80sPurple.com
So remember, it’s not always necessary to rock the bright colors everyone else is. Sometimes minimalism is the most appropriate choice when putting together your ensemble.

Celebrity Copycat: Get Chloe Sevigny’s Look for Less!

Love the way Chloe Sevigny perfectly combines the elegance of a scalloped Chloe blazer and cut off shorts. The look is extremely “leggy” and sexy but can easily be toned down with a pair of skinny jeans or a denim skirt (examples shown in widget).

Celebrity Redo: Get Jennifer Lopez’s Look for Less!
April 6, 2009 by 1vida
Filed under Celebrity Redo
Jennifer Lopez is gorgeous no matter what she’s wearing BUT in this case the outfit is a bit unflattering. There’s the sweater that’s a tad bit to short and cut way to high giving her a heavier illusion. So, I decided to keep within the same black city chic look but switched the crew neck sweater to a v-neck tunic and added a ruffled top for some well needed detail. Hope you like it.

I think Jessica Alba is one of the cutest dressed mom’s in Hollywood. She always manages to stay comfy and look fab even when running around with her baby. I picked this outfit because of the variety of options each piece has to offer. The dress can be worn alone with sandals this Summer; the boots and cardigan can be worn with jeans or a skirt and the leggings with a tunic or a different dress. Get Jessica’s look for less………
