BCBG at Westside Pavilion ($398).

In Spring, your go-to top layer is an on-trend lightweight trench—this fall, choose a cover-up that is just as classic and versatile, and a bit warmer—the camel coat.   This autumn is all about refined elegance, classic styling with fresh twists, and old-school glamour, and a camel coat is your first stop to make it yours.  We’ll look at three variations of this must-have piece and how to pair these with the perfect something underneath.

A Mod Nod to Camel

Rock the retro look with a block cut camel coat with quiet details like this one from BCBG at Westside Pavilion ($398), pictured above.  Perfect for overt and classy style at the office or over a glam LBD and tights—c’est tres chic!

Tucked and Tawny

Ann Taylor at The Oaks ($398).

Nip it in at the waist for a preppy, and timeless take on this investment piece.  Pair with your skinnys and your boots du jour for style on the go, or layer over your leopard print sheath for instant party style.  Here’s a “one-style-fits-everyone” look from Ann Taylor at The Oaks ($398).

Courting the Camel

Nordstrom at Lakewood Center ($595).

Go flirty and feminine for the freshest new take on the camel coat.  Try romantic ruffles, draped cuts with cozy, rounded silhouettes and then belt them for a little flair on the bottom.  Wear this with just about anything– it’s an outfit in and of itself and you likely won’t take it off.  Here’s a soft, buttery version from Nordstrom at Lakewood Center ($595).

The award winning AMC show Mad Men is not only attracting millions of viewers in its fourth season, but it is inspiring fashionistas everywhere to throw it back to the 60’s. Hollywood actors like Piper Perabo and Alexis Bledel are sporting retro styles to red carpets, and fashion lines everywhere are offering old-school trends that are hot hot hot.

To channel January Jones’ Mad Men character Betty Draper, try high-waisted skirts, sweetheart necklines and pearls. She takes on that traditional 60’s housewife look, and those classics never go out of style. Perabo’s mesh-topped dress is so stylish and shows off her great body with a cinched waist. Betty Draper would have totally worn this dress, if a few inches were added to the hemline. Alice + Olivia makes beautiful dresses complete with a-line skirts, bright patterns, and conservative traits, mixed in with high hemlines to bring the look into the 21st century.

Christina Hendricks’ character Joan Halloway isn’t afraid to show off her curves with tight knee-length skirts, boat necks, and bold colors. Pairing a Mad Men inspired piece like an A-line dress or high-waisted skirt with a funky pair of tights, some leather, or a wild accessory will help add a little modern flare to your vintage look. Bledel goes with a business-casual navy skirt and silk blouse but tops it off with red-hot heels and a leopard print bag. She shows off her 1960′s style without losing her 2010 edge.

Ladies, get your man dolled up like Jon Hamm’s Don Draper with a sharp, tailored blue or black suit with the newest mens trend: the skinny tie. Hot celebs like Zac Efron and Ryan Seacrest have been spotted on the red carpet in these classic looks and it is definitely working for them.  Hugo Boss makes some of the sleekest styles for men this season, and the thin textured tie paired with a classic silk suit will surely help your man look sharp.

We love seeing these beautiful retro looks coming back in Hollywood, so don’t be afraid to add a spark of 60’s to your look, or even go all out Mad Men, either way you will be on trend in 2010.

Stylist Rachel Zoe with Assistant Brad Goreski.

People EXCLUSIVE: Rachel Zoe and Brad Goreski Calling It Quits — Amicably

“Bananas!” Celeb stylist Rachel Zoe and her bow-tie clad assistant Brad Goreski have sadly decided to go their separate ways, effective Oct. 1. “I love Rachel and she’s taught me everything I know,” Goreski, 33, tells PEOPLE exclusively. “But there’s a point where either I do it now or I’ll never know what it’s like to spread my wings and soar.” Breaking the news to Zoe about a month ago was nothing short of “major.” “We couldn’t stop hugging and we couldn’t stop crying,” she says. “He did this with such class and elegance. And I get it. I just told him, ‘I’m here for you always.’” Goreski is counting on that. “I hope she’ll continue to teach me more and more,” he says. And while the dynamic duo’s frenzied pace has been constant fodder for Bravo’s The Rachel Zoe Project, filling Goreski’s designer shoes will be no easy feat. “We have a relationship that’s not normal. I jump into bed with him and wake him up and we have these pow wows and he’s like, ‘Wow, I haven’t brushed my teeth,’” Zoe says. “I don’t want to hire somebody for the purpose of the show, we just got lucky. No one’s ever going to be Brad to me.” For more of Zoe and Goreski’s exclusive interview, pick up this week’s issue of PEOPLE on newsstands Oct. 1.

Rumor: Brad Goreski Split From Rachel Zoe Because of His Times Profile

Source: NY Mag

Brad and Rachel told People they decided to break up  out of love and respect for one another. But rumors are going around that it’s not true at all! Sources say some jealousy was brewing between Rachel and Brad since Brad was becoming such a star in his own right. Gossip blog Pop Eater reports:

“Fashion week was definitely the turning point,” a friend of Rachel’s tells me. “Brad was sitting on the front row of every show and getting invited to as may events as his boss. However the final straw was when Brad appeared on the cover of The New York Times style section. Rachel hit the roof and reminded him he was her assistant and it was called ‘The Rachel Zoe’ show not the Brad Goreski show. That was the moment that the two of them were over.”

Sources tell me that Brad has already been approached by several production companies about staring in his own fashion reality show. No news yet on whether or not Rachel’s stable of celebrities, including Demi Moore, Kate Hudson, Cameron Diaz or Anne Hathaway will remain with Zoe or follow Brad.

We saw Brad sitting a row behind Rachel at at least one Fashion Week show. Also, Brad has always come to Fashion Week and attended his own events without Rachel, so it’s hard to know if she really felt like he was encroaching on her place in the sun scene. And it’s not his fault he’s likable, enjoys dressing well, and likes attention! We’re epically curious to see how his departure will affect her Bravo show. She’ll either need to hire someone as entertaining, catty, and forthright as Brad or get pregnant to keep the series at the same level of amusing. Well, unless Rodger comes out with a ravenous love of argyle.

The Los Angeles based alternative rock trio The Daylights brought people out in droves to West Hollywood’s Club L to celebrate the release of their highly anticipated self-titled debut album, including their friend and fan international pop super star Katy Perry, NBC Chuck actor Zachary Levi, British singer-songwriter Daniel Bedingfield, brother of pop singers Natasha Bedingfeld and Nikola Rachelle, Wallflowers’ Rami Jaffe, Step Up 3D’s Rick Malambri, singer  Caitlin Crosby, as well as members of Foo Fighters and Goo Dolls.

Texan twin brothers Ran Jackson (guitars / vocals / piano), Ricky Jackson (bass / vocals / guitars) and drummer Svend Lerche of Denmark make up this amazing group.  As a band, they’ve been compared to the talented Kings of Leon and Radiohead, and have been deemed one of Katy Perry’s favorite bands. They very recently arrived back from Katy Perry’s sold out American tour, and are currently on tour with Civil Twilight.  For their first album, they teamed up with producer Youth (Paul McCartney, U2, The Verve’s “Bittersweet Symphony”), Michael Brauer (Coldplay, Doves), Dave Sardy (Oasis, Jet), and Tim Palmer (U2). The first single “Rogue Machine (Don’t Say That You Want Me)” is now playing on radio stations around the country, and steadily climbing up the top 50 on the Hot A/C Chart.

“We are so fortunate to have worked with an all-star team on the album,” says Ricky Jackson. “Ran and I grew up in small Texas towns listening to a lot of music from Europe, and Svend grew up in Denmark listening to a lot of American bands, so it’s a unique and natural blend of the two.”

With Katy Perry making her way through the crazed paparazzi outside, a heartfelt introduction from the wonderful Zachary Levi, the lights went down, and The Daylights stepped on stage.

The energy in Club L heightened, as the crowd rocked out to the impassioned lyrics of The Daylights’ Weapons. Easily one of the most underrated unsigned bands in the business, they dominated the stage and captivated the audience with each performance.

On the brick walls of Club L, projected The Daylights first music video, directed by Walter May, who also directed Katy Perry’s first video. We spoke with Walter about The Daylights video and where he draws inspiration, he says, “I think about how I feel when I hear the music. How do I want other people to feel? The whole process of putting a music video together is an incredibly emotional process.”

NBC Chuck lead, and The Daylights’ good friend and fan, Zachary Levi MC’ed the event, while DJ Trent Dean kept the music fresh, and the party going into the wee hours of the night. Photographer Daniella Hovsepian helmed a photo booth adjacent to the stage while Shamrock Social Club gave people new tattoos.

Proceeds from the party, sponsored by Lhasa Beer, Shamrock Social Club and Koffeehouse Music, went to support Red Eye Charity. This charity provides a platform for artists to develop and expand their talents through social gatherings, humanitarian relief and an exploration of the arts.

Even as The Daylights show was coming to a close, the passion and energy in Club L just kept growing.

As I walked out, the DJ still spinning, people still grooving on the dance floor, it was the blarring echo of ”Encore! Encore!” that wouldn’t leave my mind. I wasn’t the only one that thought they hadn’t had enough of The Daylights.  It’s a show you shouldn’t miss.

Barcia ($160) ALDO shoes at Inland Center.

Last year they were fringe, this year they’re a must-have—the over-the-knee boot is this season’s snatch-it-up, “go now” hot item.   You may be thinking, “for me?” or “really?”    Yes, even for you.  No matter your body type, your personality, your style finesse, or your budget—yes, YOU.   We’ve put together a three level how-to on how to match yourself to your best over-the-knee boots.  Check it out:

Tame Dame

The words “over-the-knee” make you break out into a sweat, because you’re a conservative type of gal.  Great—these “taller” boots are perfect for those of you who want to inch your way slowly into this trend without calling undue attention to yourselves.  Look for a pair like these Barcia style boot from ALDO at Inland Center ($160), pictured above.  The back seam is only knee-high, and the front rests just above the knee, for a subtle, yet on-trend take on the look.

Slightly Daring Darling

“Guide” Nine West at The Shops at Montebello, ($149).

Many of us have been eyeing these boots on other women, had a year or even two to get used to the idea, and want to step up to the style plate with a full force entry into the trend, or already have a pair from last year and are looking to add another this year.  Look for a flat or high heeled basic pair to wear with your skinny jeans and chunky knit sweaters this fall.  Tired of black and brown—look to gray for a new neutral that will work with almost everything in your closet.  This pair is from Nine West at The Shops at Montebello ($149).

Over-the-Top & Over-the-Knee

Sergio Rossi Metallic Over the Knee Boot $1,420.00

If you’re the Lady Gaga of your social circle—i.e. not afraid to be brave with your look—you’ll want to look for something new for fall.  Pick a metallic high-heeled version, one with intricate lacing up the length of the boot—or even one with many straps and buckles.  This silver pair is from Nordstrom at Stonewood Center ($1,420).

Visionary Babakul designer Kym Gold.

Babakul, which means ‘hippie’ in French, is the brain child of designer Kym Gold, founded in 2008. The former co-owner and co-founder of True Religion Brand Jeans blended her glamorous and relaxed beach lifestyle to create the contemporary, sophisticted brand. The pieces in every collection are timeless and seasonless and have been spotted on celebrities like Jessica Alba, Miley Cyrus, and Cher.

The Malibu native, who was given the nickname ‘babakul’ by a business partner, has truly infused her lifestyle into the visionary styles seen in every Babakul collection. The brand embodies a lifestyle of travel, comfort, and attention-to-detail that every woman can relate to and find a piece that is all her own.

“Less is more is definitely the main inspiration behind the Fall 2010 collection,” Gold told us here at Style Seen Daily. The collection reflects a military and utilitarian style, with pieces like cargo pants, but infuses many romantic fabrics, like lace and silk, and feminine silhouettes.

The designer told us that her main inspiration is to bring “everything that I noticed was missing in the market and wanted to wear.”

Babakul clothing embodies designer Kym Gold's fun, independent, glamourous lifestyle.

Her pieces can easily be worn from day to night, with neutral colors and feminine silhouettes.  The versatile, classic pieces blend city sophistication with the bohemian lifestyle of Gold, which makes the collection ideal for women with a “fast-moving, independent lifestyle,” just like Kym Gold.   The Babakul Spring 2011 collection reflects many of the same styles seen in fall, but with a more Moroccan feel. The Traci cargo pant makes a comeback in an updated look.

'Traci' cargo pants are an essential part of the Fall 2010 Babakul Collection at $160.

Babakul’s take on the military trend comes comes to life with the ‘Traci’ cargo pant, available in slate and khaki for $160. These silk pants are lightweight and can easily transition from fall into a spring wardrobe. A silk blouse, like the ‘Gwendolyn’ by Babakul, can dress these pants up and create a more romantic look or pair them with the ‘Penelope’ cotton-cashmere kimono sleeve v-neck shirt for a casual, daytime look.

'Jessica' cashmere knit hood jumpsuit from the Babakul Fall 2010 collection, priced at $155.

Another big element of the Babakul fall collection is knits of all colors and styles. The ‘Jessica’ jumpsuit, priced at $155, is one  piece knit jumpsuit that is functional, yet fashionable, and a great wardrobe staple. Pair the jumpsuit with heels for a night out or with boots for a more casual, daytime look.

Casual, yet chic Babakul 'Penelope' cotton cashmere kimono sleeve v-neck shirt, which is priced at $115.

Babakul fashionistas can shop these hippie chic looks at stores like Fred Segal Fun, Ron Herman, and M. Frederic.

Soon customers will be able to take part in the full Babakul experience —  The brand is opening it’s very own store inside of Fred Segal in Santa Monica Place in November 2010. The store will reflect designer Kym Gold’s Malibu lifestyle and fully immerse shoppers into the Babakul independent and glamorous way of life.  We’ll make sure to bring coverage of that store opening to you here at Style Seen Daily.

Lake Bell in American Apparel.

Celebrities like HBO’s ‘How To Make It In America’ Lake Bell and Ironman 2′s Gwyneth Paltrow have recently been spotted wearing American Apparel’s Classic Girl line. In an attempt to move away from the whole hipster style, American Apparel is now putting pieces from their Classic Girl line, which is much more preppy, in their stores across the country. American Apparel is created their Classic Girl line to offer customers an option of ready to wear pieces. One of the main goals of the line is to make the clothing appropriate for all seasons. Mixing and matching different pieces within the American Apparel brand makes the whole look work year round. Classic Girl is an attempt by American Apparel to help boost their sales. According to The New York Times, the company has racked up over $91 million in debt in the past fiscal year.  Also effecting the brand, is American Apparel’s CEO and Founder Dov Charney‘s controversial reputation and legal battles.   American Apparel Calls Allegations In Suit Over Firing ‘Fictional’

Feminine cuts and delicate fabrics have helped make this line ready to wear for all women. Oxford button down shirts have been added to the Classic Girl line in sheer fabrics to incorporate a sexy style to the very conservative top. Feminine, fitted dresses are also another popular piece in the Classic Girl line.

Because American Apparel is known to be a very casual brand, they wanted to rebrand their women’s line, making it possible to wear pieces such as the Chiffon Oversized Button Up or Silky Collar Tee in a more formal setting.

American Apparel is one of the most well known clothing producers in America, known for the basics, such as their Flex Fleece Zip Hoodie and Short Sleeve V-Neck tee shirt. The Classic Girl look offers pieces that are dressier than the usual loungewear that American Apparel has made famous. They recently debuted this line in American Apparel stores across the country as well as being offered on their online store.
