The newest trend of this season is the cowboy hat. Traditional hats you’ve seen on Minka Kelly in Friday Night Lights are back and have grabbed the attention of fashionistas like Hayden Panettiere, Ashley Tisdale, and Sandra Bullock. We love the casual feel and how cute they look on just about everybody.

Fedoras have been in style for a few seasons, and we here at Style Seen Daily, are here to tell you they are still a huge part of summer 2011 style. Try adding color ribbon like The Green Hornet actress Cameron Diaz strutting through the airport, or a pattern or stripe, or even go bold with a bright colored hat, whichever way you wear it, these hats are perfect for spring and summer.

This cute Juicy Couture Straw Fedora, priced at $68, is an upgrade from the simplistic, the patterned stripe and feather add a little 2011 edge.

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).

Express, $79.

The red carpet’s been rolled up for yet another year, and you can almost hear the entire city take a deep breath and relax.  As the celebrity pomp and circumstance make an exit from stage right – what’s left is the “OMG, did you see what she was wearing” and the “how can I get that look”.   Just as much a tradition as “thanking the Academy” on award’s night is dissecting the styles and looks from the Oscars and making them your own.   While you may not go all out J-Lo for your next date night – even a touch of new trend can update your look and keep you in the here and now.  Here’s the cliff notes version from this year’s big event…

SSD Co Founder Crystal Fambrini with model Ashley Jeung behind the scenes at KTLA for Crystal's "Go Glam This NYE" fashion segment.

Lisa of Pomona, a self proclaimed “tom boy” and military veteran, had been pushed by family and friends to do some kind of makeover for the last decade. She hadn’t been in a dress for 8 years and chooses sports bras and sneakers as her staple wardrobe items.  Lisa wanted a change so her daughter could see her Mom in another light.  Plus, she wouldn’t mind scoring a date here and there as well.  Our Stranger Change Her was the perfect fit.

First up, putting Lisa in our “Stranger Chamber” at Westside Pavilion — where shoppers shared their insight on what they thought I should do with Lisa’s one day make over.

Watch Lisa’s “before” here:

 

Watch Lisa’s “after” here:

 


Let’s look at that before and after one more time:

Take one look at the styles on the runways this year, and you might think you’ve stumbled upon a Victoria’s Secret fashion show by accident.  Right alongside the season’s newest take on spring tops, dresses and shoes, is an overwhelming amount of…lingerie?  It may make you do a double take, but this style revelation is more than minty – it’s a fresh version of the eighties bustier and lace looks our teen idols Madonna and Cindi Lauper rocked so fierce, and it’s back with a vintage 2010 twist.  Underwear as outwear is a hot key trend of the upcoming season, and, as you might guess, it’s not as simple as just wearing your Valentine’s Day purchases to the grocery store; wearing lingerie out-‘n-about can easily say “I’d like to go all the way” if care is not exercised.  So study up before venturing out….
