Let me start by saying that I, truthfully, don't have anything against leggings. I know they cause a lot of spikes in blood pressure when people apply them as equal substitutes for pants, and sure, that's a bad look. But pair them with a way oversized button-up or a boyfriend sweater? I say that's fair game. Leggings are just too comfortable to be completely outcast as a class of garment for the fashionable public. This particular pair of leggings, on the other hand, we're open to debating. We recently stumbled on these elastic strap leggings from Anzevino & Florence while perusing the digital racks of 80's Purple and have been scratching our heads about them ever since.

Get Beyonce's Criminal Damage Faux Fashion Sweatshirt

We've been following this faux fashion graphic trend that takes the iconic logos of major fashion houses and satirizes and repurposes them in fresh streetwear designs. Now, Beyonce is getting in on the action with a cream-colored sweatshirt emblazoned with Chanel's interlocking C logo rendered in leopard print. As soon as we saw this elevator snap Bey Instagrammed of herself wearing this relaxed boyfriend style crewneck, bright red skinnies, gold oxfords, and colorful illustrated snapback, we hit the Internet ground running, trying to identify and procure every element of her ensemble. Sorry, Bey for biting your style, but imitation is the highest form of flattery, right?

Pool Toys, Pet Collars, And More Of Our Favorite Things From Alexander Wang's New 'Objects' Collection

With his eponymous Ready-To-Wear label AND a recent appointment as the new creative director of Balenciaga, Alexander Wang is one busy dude. But despite his jam-packed schedule, the designer has somehow found time to roll out a second "Objects" line that conveniently coincides with last-minute holiday wishlists. Whereas his "Objects No. 1" collection included super sleek household items like card decks and notebooks, for round 2 he's giving even MORE stuff his signature edgy twist. Think leather eye masks, faux snakeskin flasks, and pool toys...available in an all-black colorway, obviously. And justttt in case you're wondering what a designer pool toy actually MEANS, well, in this case think shark-shaped floaties made of black PVC and retailing for $40. Sure, it might not technically fit into our daily lives as Wang claims online (we don't have a pool nor do we need a float), but it's so ridiculous we still almost want it.

Baroque print is officially trending, y'all! From red carpet dresses to nail art to on-stage ensembles, the brocade-inspired design is taking OVER this holiday season. Want even more proof? Well, we spotted Beyonce out and about in NYC earlier this week sporting—you guessed it—a baroque print dress, which we think officially solidifies this trend. #shutitdown Bey wore a Torn by Ronny Kobo skin-tight shift with patent leather nude pumps, giant emerald earrings, a leopard box clutch, and a sleek high pony, which we LOVE. Obvi we wanted to cop this entire look as much as we possibly could, and thanks to our super internet-sleuthing skills (or, you know, Google), we rounded up our favorite baroque bodycon dresses that you can snatch up right this second!

Would You Wear Leather Overalls?

Given the skyrocketing trend status of leather and overalls as individual fashion things, we had a feeling, deep at the bottom of our gold-plated hearts, that these mammothly head-turning style elements would soon join forces. Nasty Gal, one of our go-to e-retailers, featured them prominently on Australian model Bambi Northwood-Blythe for their December look book, and while this was the first thing to REALLY get our gears turning on the full-body statement piece, this is definitely not the only, or even the first, instance of this eyebrow-raising style.

Say whatever you want about crystal balls, fortune tellers, or Ouija boards...but predicting the future just got a WHOLE lot more stylish, thanks to Kenzo. The label, which is helmed by Opening Ceremony's Humberto Leon and Carol Lim, has just unveiled a new deck of tarot cards aptly titled "PSY-CHIC" (get it?). With original prints by artist Michael Willis, the 22-card set is splashed with a boldly quirky mix of colors, patterns, and prints— yep, much like the covetable collections Kenzo parades down the runway each season.

The Ultimate Haylor Holiday Gift Guide

Posted 12/7/12 3:04 pm EST by Gaby Wilson in Dudes, Ladies, Let's Discuss, Shopping

Welp, Taylor Swift and Harry Styles are dating now.
Photo: Splash News

Okay, Internets. I think it's time we rip off the band-aid. I think it's time we just accept that Taylor Swift and Harry Styles are dating now. They've been spotted together pretty much every single day of this week and are even holding hands (also, spending nights together in hotels, but listen, I'm just not emotionally there yet). One Direction fans, I FEEL you. Times like these are hard. But if you really love something, let it go, right? Plus, you can always find an upside to any situation, especially this one.

For one, Swift even admitted to Cosmopolitan UK that the one thing she doesn't understand about relationships is "how to make them last." AND the holidays are a reeeeeally tricky time to start a new fling, what with the combining of gift-giving expectations and undefined relationship parameters. There's a lot of potential to slip up and hurt feelings. If you're twiddling your fingers maniacally right now, we don't blame you, but if you're going to sack it up and try to support the newly dubbed "Haylor" couple, here are some gifts you could send Taylor and Harry's ways this holiday season. Kill 'em with kindness, right?

Between that infamous Madonna cone bra, the man-skirts, and last season's rockstar-inspired collection, Jean-Paul Gaultier has already crafted enough runway creations to inspire a lifetime of rad outfits. So what's the next obvious step for that Parisian designer? Taking his ridiculously awesome style to the (daring) masses with streetwear, obviously. JPG has just announced that he's working on a men's and women's collection with Italian company Ittierre SpA, targeting younger consumer AND a more affordable price point. Um yes, please!
