Chelsea Rae Simmons — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 04:00:11 +0000

1. 3/1 Phillip Lim Silk Sequined T-Shirt Dress – Net-A-Porter.com, $895 • 2. Seamed Sequin Panel Pants – Alice + Olivia, $297 • 3. Ion – USB Portable Turntable – Urban Outfitters, $140 • 4.

The Rocker knows, in life, a girl can never have enough black, leather, or studs. Whether she’s concert-ready in a pair of beat up Converse or stomping around town in a pair of zippered and studded Christian Louboutin pumps, this girl looks edgy and effortless all at the same time. She’s loving the onset of the latest sequin trend, and if she could, she would glimmer all day and night as she went from work to her favorite band’s show. More often than not you’ll see her nodding her head to Zeppelin standards during her down time. You might even hear her blaring spinning the latest 30 Seconds to Mars album This is War on repeat. This girl might remind you of Taylor Momsen or Erin Wasson.

Want to bring out your inner Rockstar? Enter to win the statement-making ‘Sudharshana’ Bangle from Kaur Collection and the amazingly comfortable ‘Chelsea’ top from Laura Dahl on Fashion Trend Guide.

The Fashionable Holiday Gift Guide: The Wild Child

Chelsea Rae Simmons — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 05:37:34 +0000

1. Erickson Beamon ‘Neo Geo’ Neckalce – Free People, $798 • 2. Christian Louboutin for 3.1 Phillip Lim platform pumps – Saks Fifth Avenue, $930 • 3. ‘Candy Future’ Lipstick – Lime Crime, $16 each • 4.

Green Leopard Bowband – Clash City & Co., $10-$14 • 8. Yuki** ‘Necklace Dress’ – Topshop, $110

The Wild Child’s adoration for bold colors, shapes, and funky details is irrepressible. An oversized neon leopard bow? No problem. Eighties shoulder pads? She was the first to sport them. Andy Warhol would have trampled Edie Sedgwick to fawn over this girl, and people are constantly comparing her to style mavens like Rihanna and Lady Gaga. No color is too bright or outfit outrageous for her.

GO WILD and enter to win the Gaga-esque half gloves created by Taryn from Skinny Girls Don’t Cry and the Green Leopard bowband from Clash City & C0. on Confessions of a Marc Addict

The Fashionable Holiday Gift Guide: The Romantic

Chelsea Rae Simmons — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 13:02:23 +0000

1. ‘Premium Ruffle’ bolero and shorts – Topshop, $24-$50 • 2. ‘The Garden’ hair clip – Teacups and Tadpoles, $18 • 3. ‘Crochet Flower’ Scarf – Tilly’s, $15 • 4. Lace Zipper Belt ‘Jennifer Dress’ – Fred Flare, $90 • 5. Swarovski Pearl and Crystal Necklace – MuchPink, $22 • 6. ‘Moonlit’ Thigh High – Anthropologie, $16 • 7. Christian Louboutin ‘Lady Page’ pump – SaksFifthAvenue.com, $995 • 8. Rhinestone Bow Stud – Miss Selfridge, $14

The Romantic girl doesn’t sit around reading lusty novels, but she love to get swept up in soft ruffles, pastels, bows, and flowers. This winter she goes against the jewel-toned grain and stays true to her pale-tinged heart. Though winter whites and pastels may be her form or rebellion, she does have a perfect LBD. It’s covered in lace and has a touch of tough chick with a zipper belt. In terms of Christian Louboutin, she may love the ruffled pair Mr. Louboutin created for 3.1 Phillip Lims S/S ’09 collection, but stays classic with a black pump with a smaller ruffle. Whether she’s wearing pearls, flowers, or bows this girl is very evocative of Blair Waldorf and is probably the ideal 3.1 Phillip Lim girl.

CALLING ALL ROMANTICS: Get your hands on the MuchPink Swarovski necklace and Teacups and Tadpole hair clip by entering the Romantic Girl Giveaway on Candybox.

The Fashionable Holiday Gift Guide: The Bohemian

Chelsea Rae Simmons — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 04:01:12 +0000

1. ‘Kurta’ pant – Juma, $150 • 2. Christian Louboutin ‘Deva’ boots – Saks Fifth Avenue, $1,095 • 3. ‘Crochet Necklace’ – Robindira Unsworth, $363 • 4. Twelve by Twelve ‘Belted Warrior Skirt’ – Forever21, $29 • 5. Eloise ‘Damask Tights’ – Anthropologie, $18 • 6. Tom Ford ‘Black Orchid’ Eau de Parfum – Nordstrom, $92-$138 • 7. ‘Jewel Tunic’ – Rebecca Taylor, $350 • 8. Mocha ‘Petal Headband’ – Squasht by Les, $28

The Bohemian girl loves to mix-and-match different patterns and fabrics. This winter her is probably heavily inspired by the Byzantine Empire, and anything that looks like it could have come straight from a Bollywood sound stage. Her staples might include the perfect LBD with a jeweled collar, black damask patterned tights, a sultry & woody scent, and a pair of harem pants that will go with almost anything. She might be saving up for a pair of fringed Christian Louboutin boots by making purchases that don’t break the bank, like a hardware heavy skirt or a petal headband that evokes her inner flower child. Think Nicole Richie.

Is your inner fille bohème calling out for those Kurta pants by Juma— they were just featured on NYMag.com— or maybe the sweet and arsty Petal Headband from Squasht by Les? Click your way over HERE, to enter for a chance to win them both (an almost $200 value).

The Fashionable Holiday Gift Guide: The Classicist

Chelsea Rae Simmons — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 13:30:50 +0000

1. Givenchy Holiday Makeup Collection – Sephora, $242 • 2. ‘Baggy Sleeved Double Breasted Jacket’ – Juma, $250 • 3. Rachel Leigh ‘Gold Heart Pearl Earrings’ – Chickdowntown, $69 • 4. ‘Egg Shift Dress’ – Topshop, $100 • 5. Coco Mademoiselle – Chanel, $80-$115 • 6.

Christian Louboutin ‘Bouquet Platform’ – Neiman Marcus, $1,025

The Classicist enjoys clean lines and classic shapes. Her list of winter essentials might include an above-the-knee (only slightly) pencil skirt, slightly trendy mock garter tights, and a utilitarian looking jacket. Pearls and yellow gold equate jewelry heaven, her make-up is always perfectly kept without being flashy, and with all the funky Loubs out there, she likes to spice things up with a black and white print. Think Holly Golightly or Victoria Beckham.

Can’t live without the classic yet edgy Juma jacket or the simple and pretty Rachel Leigh earrings from Chickdowntown? It’s your lucky day. My blogging buddies and I are getting in the holiday spirit and are giving them both away (a more than $300 value) to one lucky winner. Visit Secretista to enter and win!
