For a retro, Mad Men-inspired look, try a classy below-the-knee A-line or pencil skirt. Yes, ladies, it is definitely flattering to just show off your ankles. I would pair these skirts with a fitted tank or sweater like GG’s Blair Waldorf, or a blazer to make it even more throwback classy. Don’t be afraid to raid your closet for old designs from the 60′s and 70′s, even the 90′s!

The hottest celebrity Moms are showing off their stellar beach bods in bright bikinis, like actress and Glee guest star Gwyneth Paltrow and reality star and author Bethenny Frankel. The New Yorker rocked this pink bikini on Miami Beach, and we love the gold accents on her suit, it just adds more glamour to your active wear.

This versatile blouse can also easily be worn with an item from a fashionista’s own closet to create a great mix and match look.

Wedges

We love Nicole Richie‘s boho-chic style and her eclectic House of Harlow 1960 jewelry and shoe line. The best thing about these Veronika Woven Wedge Sandal, priced at $240, is how comfortable and versatile they are to wear. A fabulous pair of wedge sandals is a tough find each summer, you want to find a neutral color, a shoe that makes your legs look great without compromising your comfort, and a pair that goes with everything. I love that the Veronika Wedge has a simple shape but a intricate design.

You can also use the House of Harlow shoes as inspiration for a more affordable pair of wedges, like these Aldo Alapai sandals, priced at $100. They have a similar woven design and the wooden wedge is so stylish for summer.

Style Seen Daily friend Jessica Lowndes of The CW’s hit series 90210 attended the Audi and Chopard Pre-Emmy event in Los Angeles on August 22, 2010 in a sexy throwback to the 50′s with a modern twist look.  We really liked her  Matthew Williamson Resort 2011 brown and gold printed dress.

Matthew Williamson’s designs are always inspired by his travels to around the world, and this collection is no exception. The Resort 2011 collection features Williamson’s structured silhouettes with exotic prints on every piece. The plunging neckline and pleated skirt of Jessica’s dress gave it a sexy yet sophisticated feel, and was reminiscent of styles from Mad Men.

We like how Jessica completed the look with a  pair of  chocolate-colored, snake print Stuart Weitzman Lille peep-toe heels. Stuart Wietzman’s creative designs have been known to walk the red carpet, specifically by offering a “one-of-a-kind” shoe to one celebrity to wear on Oscar night. Look for exotic prints and animal prints to be a hot trend in shoes this fall.

Always a fashionista, take a look at some other great articles where we feature Miss Lowndes.  Below, Jessica in a sexy strapless Lipsy dress, that launched in the United States Summer 2010. Click here for Lipsy coverage.

I spent the day with 90210 star Annalynne McCord and her two sisters Rachel and Angel getting make overs at the Valerie Beverly Hills beauty shop.

Valerie’s special cosmetics line is loved by many celebrities and Annalynne McCord raved over the “foreplay” & “happy ending” mascara’s.

The paparazzi stood outside taking pictures through the windows as we chatted about everything from our love lifes to what’s in our closet.  The sisters also gave me the first scoop that they are now working on a fashion book tentatively titled “The McCord’s Guide To Style” that is expected to be out later this year. The three sisters are also working on a clothing line set to come up in 2012.

These 3 sisters are so cute!  The sisters who live, play and work together…. so fun.  Annalynne wants to get her sisters on 90210 and is pushing that really hard with the producers (she is welcoming her fans writing in as well to support the cause)

Annalynne had her sisters move out from Georgia this year and is so much happier now that her family is living with her.  Their father is a pastor, girls are really focused on helping others and giving back.   Annalynne talks very passionately about  their involvement with “The Blind Project” —  an organization that raises awareness and money for victims of sex traffiking – part of the proceeds of their book will go to the organization.    She was so sincere with her desire to help with this nonprofit that it actually made my eyes water!!!

For more on my girl talk with the 3 sisters…

Watch the “Crystal Cam” video below.

So, what do you think, is a reality show in the works for these 3 sisters and their fashionable lives?  Watch out Kardashians!
