#1 Get a Leg up With Over The Knee Boots

Over-the-knee boots are returning as a trend for this upcoming season. They made their popular debut last fall, but they have come back with a fun new flare. Lots of zippers can be seen on these sky-high boots. Skinny jeans or jeggings make a great compliment to the boots for a polished look. Many celebrities ranging from Rihanna to Kate Hudson have been seen sporting this hot trend with boots from Jimmy Choo and Stuart Weitzman just to name a few.

#2  Saddle up!

The trend in handbags for this season is the saddlebag.  Look for saddlebags ranging in richer, deeper shades of leather such as camel and burgundy. The size of the actual bag van vary, from the teeniest of bags, big enough for only a lipstick and wallet to larger bags that can hold enough for a quick weekend getaway.  Many celebrities like Jessica Alba, Kourtney Kardashian and Katie Holmes have been spotted using a saddle bag to tote around their personal items.

#3   The “it” color:  Camel

Not only is camel seen as a popular color for saddlebags but it has also been popping up in fashion as a hot fall trend. Camel has become the new black. Camel outfits from head to toe are incredibly popular as the season changes. Many shades of the color have been seen in higher end boutiques and regular merchandise stores alike, making it easy to mix and match pieces in order to create the perfect look.

Lauren Conrad recently spotted wearing trendy deep navy nail polish.

#4   Metallic Blue and Gold For Nails

On the beauty end of things, nail polish trends are changing with the season. As we move from summer to fall the trend in nail colors tends to get a little darker as well. Deeper, darker hues of colors have been popping up on celebrity fingers recently. Red wine colored polish is always a staple in any fall wardrobe. Some more playful colors are also top trends this season, like metallic blue and gold. Lauren Conrad is always a nail trend follower, recently spotted wearing a metallic navy blue on her fingers.

#5 Wavy Hair Trend Continues Past Summer

Chunky mermaid waves continue to rule in hair trends even though the summer is ending. Charlie’s Angels hair styles match well with any of the boho chic looks that we have been seeing pop up on fashion followers everywhere. This style does translate well with more classic looks as well, helping to make even the most simple outfit look more put together. Celebrities like Rachel Zoe and The Kardashian Sisters are infamously known for their love of the long wavy look.

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.

Style Seen Daily friend and San Diego Chargers Linebacker Shaun Phillips co-hosted the “Modern Man” party for Angeleno Magazine at the rooftop pool of The Residences At W Hollywood.

Angeleno also asked four other “modern men” to host the event with Shaun, including Jesse Waits owner of Drai’s Hollywood, Pedro Marti wealth management advisor for Wells Fargo, Matt Petersen president of Global Green, and Tom Drumm from The Safran Company.

Shaun reveals that he dresses to match his beloved convertible Maserati.  ”Always,” he said. “I love my car.”  OMG I can’t even ask him what he has named his car… some things just better left unasked.  However I did ask Shaun about his suit and learned he had it custom made by Astor and Black.

Jesse Waits, owner of Drai’s Hollywood, said being being successful to him is “not about the money, but about being the best in the world at doing something different.”  (Note: As soon as Drai’s Hollywood opened it scored a scene in Entourage as the new “it” club.)

Party goers at the Angelino "Modern Man" event were able to watch the sunset and check out the Los Angeles skyline atop The Residences At W Hollywood while enjoying cocktails and appetizers.

Matt Peterson, Global Green CEO, wore a suit made out of organic wool and recycled audio cassette tapes — yes AUDIO tapes. Matt personally works with such celebrities as Leonardo DiCaprio, James Cameron, Jessica Alba and Eva Longoria to help raise awareness of being more green.  Matt said, “well you know when a celebrity steps up people pay attention so we’re doing all we can to use that opportunity to drive us in the right direction.”  IE being more green friendly.  Click here to learn more about Global Green.

Tom Drumm, Talent Manager at The Safran Company, said that he advises men to find a girl with great style to help guide them to looking and feeling their best.  What a smart man.  Drumm said, “whatever (my girlfriends) say, I do.”  I mean, super genius smart, right?

Event sponsors included Don Julio Tequila (my favorite) and Johnnie Walker Scotch Whiskey.

Bryon Williams, Nicole Richie, Andy LeCompte and Rachel Zoe.

After all the rumors about Nicole Richie and stylist Rachel Zoe, we were surprised to see the two posing for photos together at when we attended Andy LeCompte‘s West Hollywood Salon opening. Is it possible that LeCompte himself paved the way for a reconnection?

Regardless, LeCompte was so busying touring with Madonna, his salon went open for months before he could host a proper unveiling. Finally when he did, clients like Lindsay Lohan, Micha Barton and of course Nicole Richie all came out to support.

While Madonna was not on hand, LeCompte did reveal quite a few secrets of the popstar. We’ll share but first a little background - he opened the salon with business partner (and fellow stylist) Leanne Citrone,  the two hand picked everything from the “cute coffee cups” to the unique art on the walls by their favorite L.A. artist Paul Rusconi. The  artwork is vibrant and alluring on most every wall in the raw studio like salon, which is tucked behind L.A. fashion designer Jenni Kayne‘s store.

Andy LeCompte's West Hollywood Salon

The hosts, LeCompte, Citrone and Kayne, had candy bar stations equipped with everything from Lolipops to Hershey’s kisses and the washing station sinks were all filled with ice and champagne, poured by typically attractive Angeleno bartenders. In addition to candy and cocktails, guests were given gift bags filled with Joico hair products and some lucky goers also claimed their own House of Harlow headpieces, designed by Nicole Richie and sold in the salon. Nicole sported a gold one herself.

Other clients such as Penelope Cruz, Jessica Alba, Kate Walsh and Fergie were not in attendance, but we’re told are frequent visitors. Now back to Madonna, if you want to get locks all sexy like her’s, LeCompte suggests adding texture by using Sunsilk Waves of Envy Sea Spray and then use either a Revlon 3 Barrel Jumbo Waver. Or if can’t get yourself an appointment to see LeCompte, get that sexy tousled look Madonna, Mischa and Lohan love, by using dry shampoo, a waterless way to freshen and restyle hair when you can’t indulge in a regular shampoo and blow out.

We took the advice and realized this was not only a great way to create that lusty look, but also a terrific soultion when you’re traveling, or rushing out the door with no time for proper primping.

Dry Shampoo Available at Sephora

Naturia Dry Shampoo by Rene Furterer, sold at Sephora is perfect to cleanse hair in minutes leaving it luminous and healthy with no water. The formula absorbs impurities and oil in the scalp with a high absporption power of essential oils that soften’s hair and will give you that “Madonna” look. 

Congrats to LeCompte, both talent and lovely, we could not be happier for his success!

The Queen of Pop has always reinvented herself, making designers like Jean Paul Gautier, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana quickly grow to worship not only her talent, but her ability to make their clothing world famous. Since the late 80′s, Madonna’s fashion style, along with her music talent and controversial ways, has been a popular subject in media. For nearly two decades she has set trends and on October 18th, Dolce & Gabana along with the Cinema Society and Madonna herself hosted the premiere of her directorial debut, Filth and Wisdom, at Landmark’s Sunshine Cinema in New York City.

Following the premiere, Madonna and her guests headed over to Jason Pomeranc’s newest hotel, the Thompson LES (lower east side), where Madonna christened the hotel and restaurant SHANG with its very first event.

Madonna’s choice to launch her film in the East Village was simply because, as she honestly put it, “it is where my struggle began.”

Her gritty film had guests talking. “It’s an honest reality about human beings,” one guest said.

Madonna, who was wearing a black Dolce & Gabana blouse with a see thru skirt, told reporters: “There is a little bit of me in every character.”

Actress Vicky Mclure’s character helps children in Africa. Eugene Hutz’s character is as aspiring pop star who pays the bills by performing S&M acts. Actress Holly Weston plays a graceful ballet dancer who transforms into a stripper. Weston chimed into editors at the party that Madonna “knew exactly what she wanted andwas actually on set before all of us daily.”

The pop star spent most of the evening with her friend/partner Guy Oseary and uber agent, Jason Weinberg, who made for gracious dates.

Guests at the party included a range of star talent and fashion icons like Brooke Shields, Naomi Watts, Ed Westwick, Diane Kruger, Josh Jackson, Lindsay Lohan, Marc Jacobs, David Blaine, Jeremy Piven, Jessica Alba, and Malin Akerman — all dressed of course in Dolce.

Akerman dotted over Madonna and declared “after her Blond Ambition Tour, I wanted to be just like her.”  Jean-Paul Gaultier designed the costumes for that tour, including the now-infamous cone brassiere.

The Recording Industry Association of America ranks Madonna as the best-selling female rock artist of the twentieth century.  Guinness World Records list her as the world’s most successful female recording artist of all time and the top-earning female singer in the world with an estimated net worth of $490 million, having sold more than 200 million records worldwide. On March 10, 2008, she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
