Style Seen Daily is spotting lots of celebrities in John Varvatos Eye wear as of late — actors such as Ryan Reynolds, Heidi Klum and Angelina Jolie are all sporting Mr. Varvatos’s eclectic collection of sunglasses. Take a look at these sexy stars in stunning shades here…
Who wore it best? Heidi Klum and Angelina Jolie were both seen wearing the same pari of John Varvatos "Modified Aviator." Let us know your thoughts by commenting below.
Winter seems to always sneak up on us – is your closet stocked with this season’s on-trend necessities? With so many stylish trends and looks to choose from, the task of narrowing down what to buy and what to pass on by can be daunting.
Want to know what will be in our closet this year? We’ve pared the season’s trends down to our top five faves to give you a lust-worthy, and essential, list to shop from. Included in this Style Seen Daily trend report: Faux fur, leopard, gold, over the knee boots, and red lips.
Model Iwona Lis in outfit provided by Los Cerritos Center. Foreign Exchange Faux fur vest: $44.
It’s a fur thing, and a sure thing—this holiday you can’t go wrong with decking out in faux fur. Gain some instant style cred when you choose fur-trimmed boots, handbags or jackets. We’ve taken note of the way this trend is spreading like wildfire with celebrities — Kim Kardashian likes to layer on her blonde faux vest when traveling, and Olivia Palmero broke out her faux vest early in chilly NYC — a sleek black version she layered over black skinnys and a dark sweater. Don’t think California is exempt from this cozy look—as the weather cools here in L.A. we’ll see even more of this hot look around town.
Can’t decide which fur is fur you?
While shopping for our favorite faux-fur, we decided to go with a vest from Foreign Exchange in Los Cerritos Center that looked that it cost much more than it’s affordable sticker price of $44.
Pick a blend and style that fits your personality—are you wild and wooly with an edge? Pick a longer haired multi-hued vest. Are you Jackie O’s refined elegance? Look for shorter haired single-tone cropped jackets.
Model Camila Poindexter. Outfit provided by Ann Taylor, Westside Pavilion. Ann Taylor Leopard Skirt: $118.
Here kitty, kitty….this fall, a little leopard makes your look large on style. Don’t try to tame this wild animal, 2010 is the year to feed your inner feline. Grab that racy printed heel, or cinch that waist with a touch of cat-like couture—and know you’re not alone. This fall we’ve seen Angelina Jolie is wrapping up in a stealth leopard trench, Victoria Beckham’s been carrying her kitty on her arm in a chain-strapped handbag, and Keira Knightly tied on a purr-fect printed scarf.
We spotted some decadent leopard looks at Ann Taylor at Westside Pavilion (model is wearing a-line leopard skirt, Ann Taylor, Westside Pavilion, $118).
Pick a lady-like pencil skirt, pumps or cute cardigan, or step out in a printed sheath, or ballet flats—just call a cat a cat, and say that leopard is topping your list for winter.
Model Ashley Jeuong. Outfit provided by Love Culture, Santa Monica Place. Love Culture Gold tube dress $19.
The old adage is being redefined—all that glitters is gold this season. Get your glitz-fix this holiday with this old-school glamour inducing metallic. Start with jewelry, yes, but then get creative and look to lamé for new inspiration. Gold-plated blazers, skirts, handbags and headbands are ruling the runways this winter, with glinting new takes on trend-forward pieces.
We recently caught Heidi Klum donning a sequined golden stunner during Milan Fashion Week, and Hilary Swank looking ravishing in bustier version at the London Film Festival.
When we hit the aisles and took a quick peek inside Love Culture at the new Santa Monica Place, we fell in love with their collection of gold tops and accessories. Our faves that tipped the scales–everything from sequined tunics to gold and rhinestoned cuff bracelets, all for $20 and under.
Model Michelle Marie. Dress provided by Foreign Exchange, Santa Monica Place. ALDO boots, Westside Pavilion, $130.
Over-the-knee boots are so fashion-forward they may make you question your style identity — “is over-the-knee for me?” The answer is yes—the brave, the bashful and somewhere in between–even you can wear them. So buck up, skivvy into some skinnys and get to shopping, because these boots aren’t optional. Get right in a longer riding-boot flat version, or saddle up to sexy suede stilettos, but don’t dare to say that model Claudia Schiffer, and “Gossip Girl” star Taylor Momsen, don’t know where it’s at—they both started the fall wearing boots up to there with boldness.
ALDO in Westside Pavilion is our favorite haunt these days for these leg elongating lookers, (model is wearing knee high leather boots, Aldo, Westside Pavilion, $130).
Aldo carries knee high boots with prices ranging from $60 – $250 and when paired with tights and dresses, leggings and chunky sweaters, or your favorite slimming denim, will raise the roof.

Finally—what’s the accessory that compliments everything else you’ll buy this season? Your sassy, bright red lips. Pucker up and find the shade that lights up your complexion, and complements your hair and eye color. If you have pink undertones to your skin, pick rowdy raspberry inspired reds, or blue-based plums. If your skin is any shade of olive, choose brazen brown-reds or bubbly poppy hues.
If color matching makes you cringe, take a trip over to M.A.C at Westside Pavilion and ask one of their color experts to choose a true red for you. This universally flattering neutral red is easy to fall for—it looks great on every face. M.A.C’s color-rich lipsticks are $14.50 each.
Denim is a must have wardrobe essential, the more the better. However durable denim is, the styles do change and we here at Style Seen Daily have put together this fall denim report to help you continue to be a denim doll. Trends for fall denim are a continuation of summer styles with an edgy twist. Trendsetters and celebrities like Beyonce, Heidi Klum, Khloe Kardashian and Leighton Meester are rocking the latest in denim styles like tapered skinny jeans, jeggings and the boyfriend look with lose jeans cuffed and chambray shirts as the weather turns cooler.
Beyonce rocking the gray jegging trend.
Skinny jeans are still a hot denim piece. Darker washes update this style, with colors ranging from gray and black to acid wash. Triple threat super star Beyonce is known to be a fan of jeggings and is rocking the grey jegging trend in the picture above. Jeggings are a type of skinny jean, it’s a mix between leggings and denim. How to wear skinny jeans: Pair with a tunic style top for a flattering look. Body shapes that look best in skinny jeans: Boyish frames and those with longer legs.
Tapered leg styles are the revamped version of jeggings for those who do not want to the jean to be too skintight.Darker stonewashed styles have been popping up in stores, making it feel very 90s. We like this pair here made by Denim of Virtue.
Denim of Virtue 'Shredded Patience Tapered Leg Jean'.
Kim Kardashian seen here in slimmer boyfriend jeans.
The boyfriend cut is the alternative to jeggings. This time around the boyfriend cut has been modified to a straighter leg, making the style more flattering compared to the baggier styles of the past. Rolling the cuff of the jean is a good way to transition the look from summer to fall. Reality celebrity Kim Kardashian wears cuffed boyfriend jeans out and about in Los Angeles, proving that this style works on curvy bodies as well.
The Gap makes a few great boyfriend jeans, starting at $69.50, which is definitely easy on everyone’s pockets.
Leighton Meester wearing one of the hottest denim trends of the season, a chambray shirt.
Chambray shirts are one of the hottest denim trends this fall that can be a staple in anyone’s wardrobe regardless of style and age. It looks like it could be your lover’s shirt — but more tailored. Gossip Girl‘s Leighton Meester has been incorporating the chambray shirt into her more casual looks when she hits the town.
For an ediger look, the chambray shirt looks great with a black or dark blue jegging. Belting the shirt helps to create a wonderful silhouette. Prepsters can incorporate a lighter chambray shirt, for example the shirt below from J. Crew $98.
J. Crew, $98.

Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer arrives for the 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards Sunday, Aug. 29, 2010, in Los Angeles. Anna's on trend with the gold and black pairing. Alexander McQueen dress.
The 62nd Primetime EMMY Awards Show hosted by the amazingly talented and funny host Jimmy Fallon brought Hollywood out in full force. And while Fallon did a great job entertaining the crowd with his guitar, we here at Style Seen Daily couldn’t help but notice the trend in up do fashions, highlighting the neck. Celebrities like Anna Paquin, Christina Hendricks, Heidi Klum and more all rocked the red carpet with their hair pulled back.
How To Get Anna Paquin’s Hairstyle
When it came to creating an Emmys hairstyle for Anna Paquin, stylist Renato Campora knew just where to look for inspiration: her Alexander McQueen gown. “The dress is very strong, and I wanted to show off her shoulders and neck,” he explains. “I didn’t want her hair to seem too severe, so I created a loose structure.”
First, Renato worked the lightweight Frédéric Fekkai Full Volume Mousse through Anna’s damp hair. To keep her hair smooth and prevent flyaways, he worked in Fekkai Silky Straight Smooth Finish serum before blow-drying hair. Try Frédéric Fekkai Coiff Contrôle – Ironless Straightening Balm and instead of using a brush, use your fingers.
When Anna’s hair was dry, Renato used a curling iron with a ½-inch barrel to create waves, then pinned the hair to let the curls set for 15 minutes. Then, he ran his fingers through the underside of her hair, pulled her hair back and created a French twist. He created a bit of volume at the top of Anna’s hair by gently pushing it with his hands, then securing it with bobby pins. Finally, he sprayed hair with Frédéric Fekkai Coiff Fini – Sheer Hold Hairspray. “It’s a modern, soft look,” Renato says.
