New Year. New You. New fashions!  Here are a few items that I have added to my “want list” and why.

#1  Outerwear Lust:  Black Leather Vest A black leather jacket is a closet staple.  I love my black leather jacket but sometimes I feel like it’s too much for the Los Angeles sunny weather and it hides my shirt underneath.  A black leather vest is perfect for layering and I like pairing it with a bright color to have your outfit pop.  This isn’t a biker vest or a super tight vest from the ’80s, think deconstructed, lose, almost like a cuddly sweater wrap but in leather that gives your outfit a ‘lil edge.

#2 Sunglass Lust: Baraque Frames Baraque side frames are fun, super feminine, and a throw back to the 1950s with a modern edge ; a great pair of frames to add to your sunglass collection.

#3 Fabric Lust:  Mesh We spotted mesh fabric everywhere at Milan’s Spring 2012 fashion week.  We also saw actress Jennifer Lawrence in a beautiful blue dress with mesh detailing at the 2012 People Choice Awards (look here).  I’m particularly fond of mesh work out clothes as it’s something different and gives your fitness look that extra touch.

#4 Color Lust: Red Red is the color of the season.  I am drawn to red because it is a power color; it’s classic, glamorous and sexy and you wear red when you want to be noticed.  Incorporate red into your wardrobe in an unexpected way, like with a red blazer or red pants, and stand out from the crowd!

#5 Shoe Lust:  Bling Take your black shoes up a notch with bling; think jewelry for your feet.  Add some extra fun in your step during those long work days with bling!

Simon Spurr

Back in 2008 Style Seen Daily founders Crystal Fambrini and Erica Cornwall sat down with Simon Spurr to discuss his two year old menswear collection SPURR which included three styles of American made mens denim and  and his plans to launch SIMON SPURR in 2009. At the time, he had just a few employees and was really known for his previous work in house with Hedi Slimane, Calvin Klein and Ralph Lauren, since he has proven his talent with his creation of menswear affording timeless elegance to all. Check out our exclusive with Simon here:

As if his clean and strong design was not enough for us to become fans, his warm charming personality and British mannerisms did us in.

Not only have we watched Simon show his incredible talent by design, we have fallen for who he actually is as a person which made us that much happier when he has been honored many times in the fashion industry including in 2007, DNR awarded SPURR with the ‘Editor’s Choice Award for Best New Label.’ In 08′, GQ, in conjunction with the CFDA, named Simon ‘Best New Menswear Designers in America.’ Then in 09 he received the prestigious nomination for the CFDA/VOGUE Fashion Fund Award, then again the following year he was one of the final nominees for the CFDA’s Swarovski Award for Menswear, 2010.

Tommy Fazio Joins Simon Spurr

The Spurr family is growing steadily, in 2009, another dynamic lovable addition came on board, Tommy Fazio, who was Men’s Fashion Director at Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus, resigned to become president of SPURR.  Tommy is the type of guy who will literally give you the scarf off his neck, ( we happen to be so lucky).  Together they have continued to expand the brand which is firmly built upon a framework that emphasizes color, proportion and deliberate subtly, while remaining sophisticated with precision in tailoring that finds its roots in the heart of Savile Row.  All of the brands pieces are individually designed and manufactured in Italy, France and the US using the finest fabrics in the world.  Simon’s designs have won the hearts of men across the globe, including celebrities like Justin Timberlake and Bradley Cooper, his jackets, suits and bags have become a mainstay in men’s wardrobes year round.

Simon Spurr Runway

With Tommy on board, they debuted SPURR and SIMON SPURR’s first runway show during New York Fall ’10 Fashion Week.  Highlights of the show are all over the internet and in the pages of magazines gloabally including Details, GQ, WWD and Vogue. Both brands are sold worldwide including Bergdorf Goodman, Jeffrey New York, Saks Fifth Avenue, Luisa Via Roma, The Webster, Confederacy, Harrods, Bloomingdales, Scoop and Nordstrom.

SIMON SPURR exudes Modern British elegance, we have been wearing his shirts, scarves and carrying his bags – all men’s of course – so we were thrilled to have learned that the next step for the brands, we can have our own woman’s wear because they told us they will be ramping up for the launch of a women’s ready to wear collection, sure to become a favorite worldwide. We can’t wait Simon!

Los Angeles Fashion’s Night Out 2011 swept through the town like a hurricane. Celebrities, fashionistas, designers and bloggers all mixed and mingled at different shopping hot spots across town celebrating their universal love of fashion and one night of special sales.

At Westfield Century City, the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising held a student dress design competition centered around royal Kate Middleton for inspiration.  The students had two hours to create a dress using just a few raw materials like needles, thread, tape, straight pins and retailer shopping bags. They were allowed the use of a sewing machine and ironing board, as well as a dress form on which to create their dress. The winning team received a $1500 Westfield Gift Card and a gift bag.

The Blogger Bar at the Microsoft store consisted of a lounge area complete with a digital bar that allowed you to blog live from the event while sipping on champagne and indulging in sweets from Hello Kitty Champagne, Pinkberry, See’s Candies and Vanilla Bake Shop.  After champagne and cupcakes, it was off to the most famous of all fashion boulevards, Rodeo Drive. The city of Beverly Hills goes all out for Fashion’s Night Out by shutting down Rodeo drive and allowing the boutiques to take over. It truly felt like a fashion festival with the food trucks, ferris wheel and famous designer stores spilling out onto the streets with special FNO gifts, styling and more.

The second annual Fashion’s Night Out in Los Angeles was bigger than ever before. The outpour of support from fashionistas proves that even in a tough economy style and fashion remain a very important part of everyday life.

Make a break for spring a couple of weeks early, and infuse your beauty routine with a little citrus sunshine.   Peach, coral and an over-the-top pop of orange lips are a staple for this upcoming spring and summer seasons.  We get that this isn’t your everyday go-to lip shade, so we thought we’d run a brief tutorial on how to max out this vibrant and versatile look, starting today.   First—don’t be afraid—you will find the perfect for you hue of orange that will make you fall head over smoochy lips in love with this fun new trend.

Tricks of the trade:

Lay the right foundation. Prime your lips for all day staying power, and to ensure that the cheeky orange color stays put and doesn’t gravitate towards your teeth.

Find your match made in color heaven. Not every orange is for every girl.  If you’re fair and flushed—pink toned corals or peaches will be most flattering, and still be right on trend; if you’re a chic shade of olive or medium to dark skinned—you can go big and bold, and very, very orange.

By day or by night? All typical rules of lip intensity apply: for a perfect pout before the sun sets, look for sheer shades or shiny glosses.  Pair with a complimentary lip liner if needed to boost your color, but keep it on the mild side.  When headed out in the eve, pile on the creamy or matte, all out, opaque color.  Line your lips with foundation to keep your lines sharp and your color from bleeding.

All that being said—here’s our favorite celebrity approved looks and your best picks:

Leighton Meester. Sephora at The Oaks ($30, Raven).

Leighton Meester gets it right with a ruddy orange-red that’s a rousing success.  She keeps it fresh and neat with a touch of peach blush and neutral eyes.  Super chic.  We love this similar red-orange shade from Sephora at The Oaks ($30, Raven).

Jennifer Lopez. Bloomingdale’s at Santa Monica Place ($24, Love Devotion).

Jennifer Lopez makes coral look craze-worthy and pairs it with deep brown shades to take it out on the town.  We love this NARS version from Bloomingdale’s at Santa Monica Place, that’s along these same lines ($24, Love Devotion).

Scarlett Johanssen. Estee Lauder at Nordstrom in Westside Pavilion ($20, Orange Poppy).

Scarlett Johanssen shows off a bright crayon orange and highlights the look with matching blush and gold shadow for a glowing standing ovation.  We like this same orange from Estee Lauder at Nordstrom in Westside Pavilion ($20, Orange Poppy).

If evidence of the holidays is still lingering around the midsection—instead of layering on your saggy sweats and calling it a day– step out in knit.  No matter how you’re feeling, don’t succumb to the temptation to hide in shapeless loungewear—pick a cozy chic sweater in this season’s sexy new shapes, and stay comfortable without sacrificing your style.    Tunics, cardigans and sultry slouches—we surveyed them all to find our favorites.  We went shopping at Santa Monica Place–here’s our top three picks to wear now for strategic reasons, and to wear again later just because you love ‘em:

Easy Breezy

Barney's Co-op, Theory "Aprily C" $270.

Style is a cinch with the sassy slouch sweater.  Pair with leggy skinnys to keep your proportions straight, and bask in that effortless put together style.   Look for subtle stripes or chunkier knits to add that special je ne sa qois.   We found ours at the Barney’s Co-op ($270).

Open Look

Bloomingdale's, Ellie Tahari "Demsey" $171.

All buttoned up all the time makes Jane a dull girl.  Let loose with dramatic draping ruffles and a blush of very-un-wallflower like color.  We saw this breath of fresh air at Bloomie’s ($171).

Tune in to Tunics

Ted Baker, $89.

More length equals more possibilities—find your way out of the winter wardrobe woes and turn up the style volume.  Double with leggings and boots for your out and abouts, or pair with heels and tights for a just-the-right-amount-of-loud look.  Our find falls into the latter category—this sparkling version was at Ted Baker this week for just $89.

Mila Kuniz at the 68th Golden Globes, 2011.

There were highs, there were lows, there were sighs of confusion—what is she wearing and why??  The 68^th annual Golden Globes put out this year, as usual, an exciting array of designer gowned celebrities for all us normal fashion frenzied folks to feast our eyes upon.  Now that we’re a few days out we’ve had time to digest the looks and declare the victories in our review below of the finest and fairest.  And, as the of-course-you-want-to-know bonus, we’ve included ideas for how to take the trends of the red carpet and make them yours.  Dig in and feel free to sound off—we’ve been won over by these top leading ladies—which are your winners?

Green and Gathered

We’re teeming with green envy—the ethereal emeralds and jolting jades of the red carpet gowns this year have us in a lock down pattern—Need. One. Now.   Whether laced with ruffles, or cinched with rich draping at the waist, pair with strappy nude or gold heels and understated jewelry and channel the elegance of Catherine Zeta-Jones and the sultry Mila Kuniz—two hands down favorites of the evening.  We loved the vibrant green of this dress from Nordstrom at The Oaks ($178).

Nordstrom, $178.

Anything but Neutral

Carrie Underwood at the 68th Golden Globes, 2011.

Kick your look into overdrive with barely there color. A hint of pink, a soft winter white, or a blush of just the right nude—and suddenly it’s all about you.  Diana Aragon’s stunning cream gown lingered long after she stepped inside, and Carrie Underwood’s pale sparkler called all the right attention to her glowing skin—we want some of what they’ve got. This Sue Wong dress is the subtle and stunning; we found it at Bloomingdale’s in Santa Monica Place ($411.60).

Bloomingdale's, $411.

Long-Sleeved Love

Anne Hathaway at the 68th Golden Globes, 2011.

We’re seeing stars after watching Angelina Jolie and Anne Hathaway dare to not bare their arms.  We love the fun fresh twist on traditional red-carpet looks and the kickback to more conservative times.   Don’t forget to bring on the bling—adorning many of our favorites this year was an abundance of glittering beading and shiny sequins.  This mini dress makes us mega happy with its perfect pairing of these two hot trends.  We snatched it up at Nordstrom at Westside Pavilion ($295).

Nordstrom, $295.

It’s a countdown to couture — when the clock strikes midnight, let your look be part of defining the moment and making a memory.  Get a jump start on 2011 with a sizzling haute holiday look and set the tone for the 12 sparkling new months ahead.  Whether you’re staying in with your close set, or buzzing around town at all the hot spots — slip into a scene stealing dress and ring in the new year.  We searched high and low for our top picks and present to you these three fab finds — all for under $200.

Get Golden

Every other look is just the runner-up.  Glittering gold takes first place hands down, and this leggy dress with draping cut out sleeves is just the ticket.  Paired with strappy sandals and bold bangles, you’ll feel worth every ounce.  We chose this dress from Bloomingdale’s at Santa Monica Place ($188).

Bet on Black

The Kardashians have the corner market on sexy, and this fashion-forward anything-but-basic little black dress is no exception.  With lace up detail and attention-getting lines, this mini dress is mega hot.  Pick this up this dress from the Kardashian collection at bebe in Los Cerritos Center ($149).

Shiny and New

Sequins are a given, but swathed in pure winter white—take on whole new meaning.  Go for the glow–everything looks brighter against the shimmering canvas of this sheath dress.  We picked ours up White House Black Market at Paseo Nuevo ($99).
