Melody Nazarian — Wed, 17 Apr 2013 10:25:51 PDT

White is an undeniably crisp Spring color, and when you throw white on top of white? Well, it makes for a double dose of freshness. Case in point: Lily Aldridge's latest NYC ensemble, which included Equipment's silky white button-down ($208) and these 3.1 Phillip Lim draped trousers ($375). Equally impressive were the model's add-ons: these adorable Charlotte Olympia kitty cat loafers ($825), Givenchy's black Pandora bag ($2,020), and cat-eye sunglasses. Score Lily's exact pieces below - but first, a few tips on perfecting white on white for day and night. Be sure to also check out more impeccable model street style here.

Pick the white pieces that feel the most comfortable for you - it can be tees, tanks, jeans, skirts, shorts, etc.
Like Lily, add nonwhite accessories for contrast. We especially love the mix of white with animal print.
For an office-appropriate white-on-white look, try tucking a white silky blouse into a white pencil skirt, then finishing off with nude or black pumps.
To make white work for night, add sexier details like strappy sandals and shiny jewels to dress it up.

Leather Pants Get a Preppy Makeover, Courtesy of Katharine McPhee

Melody Nazarian — Wed, 30 Jan 2013 10:30:36 PST

Singer and star of Smash Katharine McPhee attended an event in NYC last night looking superslick in a pair of black leather pants. We too are huge fans of the leather look, but as of late we've been searching for a new way to rock our favorite pairs - that's where Katharine comes in. We love that instead of the typical sexy or edgy vibe, the actress opted for a preppy feel that's still totally night-out appropriate. Katharine started with a jewel-collar blouse by Equipment - shop the white version here ($310) - then topped it with a cozy gray crewneck sweater. On bottom, she matched her leather pants with sleek leather booties, then accessorized with a black clutch and just a few gold baubles. Mimic Katharine's latest with our editor-approved pieces below, and note: if you're looking to inject a little more glamour, all you need is a bold red lip to finish it off.

Miranda Kerr and Jennifer Lopez Give Us Leopard Print to Wear Day or Night

Melody Nazarian — Wed, 23 Jan 2013 08:00:22 PST

They might have been on opposite coasts, but Miranda Kerr and Jennifer Lopez were clearly on the same style wavelength when they both sported leopard on the same day. Miranda tucked a sheer leopard button-down by Equipment into skinny Nobody jeans, then finished with ballet flats, a Givenchy bag, and cat-eye Prada shades while catching a flight out of LAX, and Jennifer rocked an A.L.C. leopard jacket with a matching skirt and Christian Louboutin over-the-knee boots during promotions for her new movie, Parker, in NYC. We think both looks would work for the weekend, but we envision Miranda's for daytime brunch and Jennifer's for nighttime fun. Get a closer look at both ensembles, then shop similar - and a couple exact - pieces to sass up your weekend wardrobe.
