I was driving to the post office the other day and a bunch of bikers (riding bicycles - not motorcycles) were totally ditching every road rule in the book. They were riding on the left side of the road and cutting in front of cars.

Fab reader Thestylesafari embraced the brightest versions of neon yellow in this cool Spring getup. To create this vibrant mix, she paired her lace-infused lemon-hued top with H&M printed pants, which highlighted the equally bold yellow at the waistband. Her slick add-ons (read: a leather biker jacket, a black tote, and metallic pumps) provided a much more toned-down finish. We love that she Read more

For Fall 2012, Kanye West's sophomore collection showcased a darker, edgier mood, right down to the smudged kohl eyeliner and tough-girl knee-high boots. Further confirming what we think is one of Paris Fashion Week's most prevalent trends, the rapper-cum-designer sent out model after model in head-to-toe leather.

Don't be deterred by Ann Demeulemeester's Fall 2012 tough-girl exterior and Edward Scissorhands-inspired coifs, this collection was chock-full of gorgeously elegant dresses, skirts with expertly deconstructed pleats, and perfectly structured outerwear.
