Orange: This Sometimes Tricky Color is Trending Big-Time

Popular in interior design and then in clothing in the '60s and '70s, orange became a ubiquitous wardrobe choice. First used by designers such as Pucci and Halston, it then became popular in mainstream stores. Now its reincarnation is in a slightly different form. It's not just the couture designers using orange; this trend has also appeared extensively in street style and at affordable retailers such as Zara, H&M and Forever 21.

Celebrity Styles Decode: Where Their Dresses Come From?

Ashley Madekwe
Putting her best (well-manicured) foot forward, Ashley Madekwe attended the 12th Annual InStyle Summer Soiree held at the Mondrian Los Angeles in West Hollywood, California yesterday evening. When I think of summer soirees I think of pretty floral frocks, but Ashley didn't play the predictable game; instead, she worked a sexy saffron-yellow Diane von Furstenberg Spring 2013 halter jumpsuit with a deep plunge and draped detailing.

Alexa Chung
Alexa Chung attended the launch of her first book 'It' at Liberty in London yesterday evening. Continuing her love for French dressing of the Carven kind, the author wore an off-the-shoulder combo dress featuring a blue lace scalloped-neckline bodice, circular flounce and a chocolate-brown full skirt from the brand's Resort 2014 collection.

Alexa Chung
Alexa Chung took to the red carpet at The Royal Opera House in London this evening for the 2013 GQ Men Of The Year Awards. The British star wore a Carven Fall 2013 long-sleeved metallic faille top and matching skirt in a light-blue hue, which she disappointingly, but not surprisingly, styled with black pumps. My favourite part of this look is her Chanel Perspex chain-accented clutch in the shape of a Chanel No. 5 bottle from the Resort 2014 collection.

Hudson Jeans 'LouLou' pants
Keeping warm and staying true to her laidback style she wore ankle-grazing skinny black Hudson Jeans 'LouLou' pants featuring a dark grey tuxedo stripe, which she paired with a black Joe's top and black Belstaff 'Bowden' Resort 2013 leather jacket with a cream lining.

Anna Kendrick
Actress and Triple Threat video star Anna Kendrick joined fellow starlets the likes of Nikki Reed, Brittany Snow and Dianna Agron at Vogue's 'Triple Threat' dinner, hosted by Sally Singer and Lisa Love, at Goldie's in Los Angeles last week. She also indulged in the evening's pattern play with her dress from Thakoon's Pre-Fall 2013 collection.

Trends to Wear This September

Trends to Wear This September
Trends to Wear This September

1. Over-the-Knee Boots
This fall, take your ankle booties to the next level with over-the-knee boots. Not only are they flattering and elongate the leg, they pair perfectly with skirts, dresses, and even over your favorite pair of skinny jeans.

2. Thigh High Slits
The short shorts and sundresses may be heading to the back of your closet with the arrival of fall, but don't put away your razor just yet. From pencils and midis to maxis, September's skirts are all about the thigh-high slit and a seductive sliver of skin.

3. Bedhead Hair
Skip the brush, amp up the texture, and swap polished waves or stick straight hair with this undone, disheveled look that is surprisingly stylish.

4. Classic Patterns
This September, prints are going back to the classics. From A-line skirts to jackets, timeless prints like plaid and houndstooth are making a comeback.

5. Emerald Green Nails
Fall's nail palette is all about rich, jewel-toned colors, and deep emerald is the perfect mix of color and boldness for the changing season.
