If you’ve been dying to dress in the effortless, rock ‘n roll style of Mary Kate Olsen, Halloween is your chance to do it without looking like a poser. Bear with us–achieving MK’s look means a lot of black, a lot of layering, and a lot of accessories. And after you’ve got the outfit down, don’t forget to slouch a bit as you’re walking, and make sure the hoodie on your sweater is worn over your disheveled and nappy hair.
"Mary Kate Olsen" Fashion Formula = Black Hoodie + Men’s Oversized Tee + Skinny Black Jeans + Dark Sunglasses + Studded Belt + Quilted Handbag + Oval Ring + Peep Toe Pumps.

Sofia Coppola’s flick "Marie Antoinette" is being released at the perfect time to inspire a fabulously rich and over-the-top Halloween costume. The Queen of France was, after all, one of the most stylish royal icons of her time. In the interest of practicality, we decided to modernize Queen Antoinette’s look just a tad–the gigantic skirt poufed with yards of tulle probably isn’t the look you’re going for. But if the Halloween look you’re after is sophisticated and of-the-moment, Queen Marie Antoinette is the way to go.
"A Modern Marie Antoinette" Fashion Formula = Platinum Wig + Pearl Choker + Satin and Lace Corset + Bubble Skirt + White Leggings + Hand Fan.
Carolee Four Row Mixed Pearl Necklace | $100 at Nordstrom
Walter Natural Sparkle Pleated Bubble Skirt | $99.99 at Bluefly

We asked: Are Layered Necklaces In or Out?
You said: Layered Necklaces are still In. 58% are still all over this trend, while 14% think they’re Out. The remaining 28% think this jewelry trend is On the Way Out.
Omiru’s take: We love the drama that Layered Necklaces create for an outfit. With the ability to take a simple outfit from vanilla to cookies & cream, Layered Necklaces are an essential in this era of mannered, ladylike dressing to give outfits a bit more flavor. In order to take full advantage of this jewelry trend, we recommend pairing necklaces with compatible colors but wildly different textures.
Next Question: Striped Tops are on one hand a figure flattery liability (the wrong sized or placed stripes can make you look like you took a few too many sweets from the cookie jar) and on the other hand a fashion trend that’s all over the stores. But what do you
think? Tell us, are Striped Tops In, or are they Out? Cast your
vote on the sidebar!

We had the pleasure of meeting the Sartorialist (aka Scott Schuman) as he interviewed Jean-Claude Colban of Charvet at Saks Fifth Avenue. PSA from Jean-Claude? Don’t use starch when ironing your shirts, as it harms the cotton fibers and diminishes the life of the shirt. The More You Know, huh?
Scott’s sleek ensemble truly befit his tastemaker status…the man sure has an eye for style.
"The Sartorialist" Fashion Formula = Navy Pinstripe Suit + Check Shirt + Narrow Navy Tie + Brown Oxford Shoes.

We asked: Are Tall Boots In or Out?
You said: You heart Tall Boots! 88% of you voted Tall Boots In. Only 6% each believe that these boots are Out or On the Way Out.
Omiru’s take: Needless to say, we’re all over this Fall/Winter wardrobe staple too. And while you can wear these Tall Boots with skinny jeans and an oversized top for a distinctly 80s vibe, we’d recommend looking beyond the obvious. Instead, why not toughen up a flirty dress with a cropped jacket and a rugged pair of Tall Boots?
Next Question: Layered necklaces are all over the runways. But what do you
think? Tell us, are Layered Necklaces In, or are they Out? Cast your
vote on the sidebar!
