It’s fun and fearless, and dramatically fashion-forward—go with the faux this season—it’s a fur sure thing.  You’ll find faux fur lined boots, bags, vests, jackets—even dresses—this holiday, and yes, even in the semi-tropical climate of California—it’s a “go”.  Worried about looking a little too Tarzan-and-Jane, or Flinestone-esque? There is a tiny bit of science to nail the haute look: tame the trend by picking one key piece at a time and wearing it well.   We went shopping and snagged our favorite fur finds—take a look:

Animal Magnetism

We found this out-on-the-town version at BCBGMAXAZRIA in Westside Pavilion ($218 ).

Watch outthere are very few things with more alluring appeal than a cropped fur coat.  Prepare to be looked over when you add this layer to your look this season, but hey–a little extra attention never hurt anyone.  We found this out-on-the-town version at BCBGMAXAZRIA in Westside Pavilion ($218 ).

The Real Deal

These are from Bloomingdale’s at Santa Monica Place ($55).

Looking for that perfect, stylish gift for her?  Treat your sister, your mom, your boss—and of course yourself– to a little bit of luxe heaven this winter, with a pair of for-the-coldest-days faux lined earmuffs.  Whether you plan to hit the slopes or just like to be warm on those chilly nights—top any fabulous look with this trend-forward and glamorous accessory.  These are from Bloomingdale’s at Santa Monica Place ($55).

Fur the Home

We loved these ones from Nordstrom at Paseo Nuevo, in mink, leopard and chinchilla ($195).

Bring the runway to your foyer—don’t limit this trend to your look—bring a little style home with you.  Look for plush faux throws to drape over your chaise, or cozy up with by the fire.  We loved these ones from Nordstrom at Paseo Nuevo, in mink, leopard and chinchilla ($195).

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.

#1 THE MUST-HAVE ACCESSORY:  Faux Fur

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.

#2 THE MUST-HAVE PRINT:  Leopard

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.

#3 THE MUST-HAVE COLOR:  Gold

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.

#4  THE MUST-HAVE BOOT: Over-The-Knee

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.

#5 THE MUST-HAVE LIPS:  Red

Style Seen Daily Founder Crystal Fambrini.

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.

Choose an elongating and sophisticated lace-topped jumpsuit for a notice-me sleek silhouette, like this one from BCBGMAXAZARIA at Westside Pavilion ($248).

As the heat of the summer starts to simmer down—don’t let your look start to lack.  Meet fall head on with those transitional trends that carry you seamlessly from the warmer weather to the cool of winter—and, start with lace.   If your first inclination is to hesitate, let’s talk.  Don’t let this dainty fabric fool you, it’s come a long way since the decorative doily, or the cream colored curtains in your great-aunt’s living room.  Today’s lacey looks are flirty, feminine, sometimes even edgy, but–when done right—always becoming and on-trend.  So keep reading, and let us show you why you too should look to lace.

Party Perfection

When you’re hitting the evening party circuit this year, consider donning something a little spicier than your LBD of season’s past.  Choose an elongating and sophisticated lace-topped jumpsuit for a notice-me sleek silhouette, like this one from BCBGMAXAZARIA at Westside Pavilion ($248).  Or, find a little lace black dress for a new take on an old favorite.

Prim and Pretty


Here’s rust colored dream from Anthropologie at The Oaks ($248).

50s flair is flattering to all, and a nipped and tucked waisted, lace overlay dress slimming and sassy.  Wear it now while the weather’s still hot, or pairit with a cute cardigan to take it into late fall.  Here’s rust colored dream from Anthropologie at The Oaks ($248).

Classic Couture


We found this stunner at Burberry in Santa Monica Place ($1,495).

Pick traditional with a twist—a timeless black trench entrenched in delicate lace is subtle, sexy and oh-so haute.  Jackie O ain’t got nothing on you now.  We found this stunner at Burberry in Santa Monica Place ($1,495).

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.

Babakul's Spring 2011 collection embodies the classic Babakul bohemian look, yet introduces new styles with a more Moroccan feel. Photo Credit: MonicaRose.com.

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.

Jimmy Choos from Nordstrom ($1,375) in Westside Pavilion.

This fall, a little leopard equals a little style, and a lotta leopard equals a lot more style.  This homage to the trendy kitty is being blown out for 2010, so get your feline fix now and stock up on handbags, shoes, or scarves for a touch of the wild stuff, or go all Tarzan-and-Jane with a show-stopping gown or printed trench.

Here are three of our favorite finds in our search for haute luxe leopard:

Jungle Look

Start your stride down the cat-walk with a hot new pair of leopard print booties.   These Jimmy Choos from Nordstrom ($1,375) in Westside Pavilion (pictured above) will bring out that feminine strut.

Or, if you’re on the hunt for something smaller, pick up these wicked baby booties for the little one from Juicy Couture at Paseo Nuevo ($68).

Juicy Couture at Paseo Nuevo ($68).

Nine Stylish Lives

Leverage your cat-ssets with a versatile, and dare we say classic, leopard print stole from Louis Vuitton.   Wrap up in this fierce printed basic and let the purr roll off your tongue.  We found this find at the Louis Vuitton boutique in La Cumbre Plaza ($715).

Louis Vuitton boutique in La Cumbre Plaza ($715).

Here Kitty, Kitty

Call on leopard this season as a style staple.  Since designers have tromped our misconceptions about how much cat is too much—feel free to layer it on, and wear it daily.  Here’s an office friendly top that tucks under your blazer with ease and growls for happy hour later. This leopard lace top is at Michael Kors in Santa Monica Place ($695).

RODEO DRIVE FASHION’S NIGHT OUT SEPTEMBER 10, 2010 6:00 – 10:00 PM

Last year’s first installment of Fashion’s Night Out, an effort to jump-start a sagging industry with an evening full of shopping events in major cities all over the world that was brought to us by New York-based Vogue magazine and the Council of Fashion Designers of America, was, not surprisingly, very Manhattan-centric. Southern California was barely represented, with a few local scattered efforts staged at Neiman Marcus in Beverly Hills and the Fred Segal Center on Melrose Avenue.

What a difference a year makes. For the sophomore effort on Friday, Sept. 10, Southern California is fielding a slate of highly organized, “Vogue-sanctioned” events, stretching from Newport Beach to Pasadena, and Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa’s Office of Economic and Business Policy is rallying retailers.

Following are highlights of planned Fashion’s Night Out activities in three cities — Beverly Hills, Los Angeles and West Hollywood — within whose borders some 300 assorted and sundry parties, personal appearances, shopping discounts and the like will occur simultaneously.

Beverly Hills

Sixty-seven retailers have signed up to mark FNO in the 90210, which will have a decidedly circus-like atmosphere — thanks to a four-story-tall Ferris wheel set up in the 200 block of North Rodeo Drive. (Rides are free — if you have a proof-of-purchase receipt from one of the evening’s participating stores.)

Among the events scheduled for the evening: at Giorgio Armani, actor Samuel L. Jackson will host an exhibition of his favorite red carpet looks over the years, displayed on mannequins and accompanied by a question-and-answer session with fashion critic Steven Cojocaru from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. (reservations, which can be made at [212] 209-4102, are recommended), Chanel will be offering free manicures with its new collection of polishes, and the Lacoste boutique will be the site of a Wii tennis tournament.

There will be no shortage of parties. Valentino, for example, is having a casino night. DJs Super Mash Bros. will be spinning at Emporio Armani, while DJ Rick Khan has been tapped for Roberto Cavalli‘s bash. Geary’s will host a “gentleman’s lounge” with Scotch, beer, hors d’oeuvres and some heavy-duty models — of Rolex and Patek Phillipe timepieces, that is.

At 6 p.m., a life-size celebrity version of the fashion trivia board game Fashion Rules will begin at the foot of the Ferris wheel on Rodeo, and is set to include singer/actress Kelly Osbourne, “Dancing With the Stars” judge Carrie Ann Inaba, stylist George Kotsiopoulos and Vogue’s West Coast editor Lisa Love.

Tod’s is selling a limited-edition handbag for the event, Salvatore Ferragamo is celebrating its first collection from new Creative Director Massimiliano Giornetti with the launch of his W-bag purse Mikimoto will be featuring pearl-stringing demonstrations and Coach will have artists on hand to customize merchandise.

Organizers also have made sure that Rodeo Drive revelers will be able to fill their stomachs as easily as they empty their wallets, promising the famed thoroughfare will be lined with gourmet food trucks serving a variety of fare including kimchi-topped French fries and architecturally themed ice cream sandwiches.

Beverly Hills’ Fashion’s Night Out, centered on Rodeo Drive, runs 6 to 10 p.m. on Sept. 10. Additional information and updates are available at the Rodeo Drive Committee’s website: http://www.rodeodrive-bh.com/fashionsnightout.html.

Los Angeles

The beige box that dominates the intersection of La Cienega and Beverly boulevards is shaping up to dominate this year’s local FNO efforts — and not just for the benefit of its own tenants.

In partnership with the mayor’s office, the Beverly Center will function as the hub, headquarters and starting point for the city’s FNO events, with free parking (starting at 4 p.m.) and no-cost busses to ferry shoppers to six retail districts centered on Melrose Avenue, Robertson Boulevard, West 3rd Street, Abbot Kinney Boulevard, downtown Los Angeles and Los Feliz.

As befits Hollywood, the night of extended shopping will kick off with red carpet arrivals at the Beverly Center at 4 p.m., as VIPs, celebrities and invitees turning out to hear remarks from the mayor, who is slated to speak at a 5 p.m. news conference alongside Vogue’s Lisa Love, L.A.-based designer Randolph Duke, skateboarder/reality TV star Rob Dyrdek and Black Eyed Peas singer will.i.am.

The Beverly Center has promised the first 100 shoppers a free Fashion’s Night Out Los Angeles T-shirt — designed by FIDM student Marc Blaskovits. (The shirt will be sold at the mall and other participating spots around Los Angeles — including Fred Segal on Melrose, The Grove and Intermix and Udrest, which are both on Robertson, among others — for $15 each. Poceeds will help fund scholarships for fashion students.)

A fashion show of fall looks featuring some of the Beverly Center’s retailers (including Forever 21, Bebe, Ben Sherman and Traffic, among others) will be staged in the mall’s sixth-floor central area at 5:30 p.m. and again at 7:30 p.m. In between, Macy’s is scheduled to host a “Denim Rocks” runway show, highlighting local denim brands, at 6:30 p.m.

In addition Charles David founder Charles Malka is scheduled to do an in-store shoe signing (in the Beverly Center) from 6 to 9 p.m. William Rast co-founders Tracy Ayala and Justin Timberlake will be hosting a sneak peek at their label’s new footwear collection and a special FNO eyewear collectionat the William Rast flagship store at Westfield Century City from 8 to 9 p.m. (Earlier the pair will do the same at the Nordstrom at Santa Monica Place from 6 to 7 p.m.)

Throughout the night, the Fred Segal Center on Melrose promises appearances by Quiksilver‘s surfing team, Devo’s Mark Mothersbaugh (who will sign copies of his book “Beautiful Mutants“) and the guys behind Spirit Hoods, who will be on hand to make sure that any of their animal-shaped hats that are purchased are worn jauntily askew.Taylor Jacobson (formerly with “The Rachel Zoe Project“) will be on hand to offer styling tips from 8 to 10 p.m.

Decadestwo and HauteLook are kicking off a three-day “400 dresses for $400″ event — with a cocktail party featuring special guest designer Alexis Phifer. 6 to 9 p.m.

There’s also some added incentive to pry open the wallet within city limits on Friday night: Anyone (21 and older) who can brandish receipts totaling $25 from a participating Los Angeles FNO retailer will have entrée into a post-shopping fete at SBE’s Industry nightclub, on La Cienega Boulevard,, which will include fashion presentations by some of the designers who call the city home, including Kevan Hall, Sue Wong, Louis Verdad and Petro Zillia’s Nony Tochterman. A second party, at SBE’s XIV, on Sunset Boulevard, subject to the same entrance requirements, will feature fashion-themed drinks. Both bashes will run from 10:30 p.m. to 2 a.m.

Los Angeles’ Fashion’s Night Out festivities are scheduled to run 6 to 10 p.m., with free parking at — and shuttle service from — the Beverly Center for the duration. A full list of participating retailers as well as a printable map, can be found at city’s FNO site: http://www.fno.lacity.org.

West Hollywood

FNO WeHo is a little city going big: The 1.9-square-mile community of West Hollywood had lined up 28 participants, including Chrome Hearts, Vera Wang, Nicole Miller and the Sunset Plaza shopping center, for events, appearances and parties.

A Julia Clancey runway show is slated for the Andaz West Hollywood’s RH bar, James Jean artwork will be on display at the 3.1 Phillip Lim boutique, and, in what will no doubt be one of the evening’s popular spectator sports events, the Andrew Christian underwear boutique will be holding a Twister competition from 8 to 10 p.m. featuring models wearing nothing more than their skivvies.

For shoppers — and aspiring rock gods — who don’t mind dropping $300 at the John Varvatos boutique on Robertson, celebrity rock photographer Robert Knight will be on hand to shoot your portrait.

The Sunset Plaza shopping center is planning a party complete with aural ambience courtesy of live DJs and a runway show of fall fashion from the center’s retailers. (The price of admission is an FNO proof of purchase.)

West Hollywood’s Fashion’s Night Out runs from 6 to 10 p.m., with free shuttle service for the duration. Shuttle information and a full list of participating retailers and events are available at the organizers’ website:http://www.avenueswh.com/events/fno.

Tadashi Shoji Gold Woven Dress, Bloomingdales, $328, Santa Monica Place.

Gold is on the rise, and we’re not talking about the stock market.  When it comes to fashion rules, make yours golden.

Tuck away the silver, for now, and break out the gold as it is in high demand for Fall 2010.  There are so many shades and styles to choose from, like an all out gold sequined dress to a gold shiny jacket to just a touch of gold to accent something. Pick up a little luxe for fall that will not break the bank.  Here’s some items that are sure to give you gold fever.
