Shop It NowMy Style: Inside Genevieve Jones' Stellar Soho Loft (And Closet!)
You always see her in Vogue. She's been snapped by Billy Farrell and co. more times than we can count. Zac Posen and Lauren Santo Domingo are in her inner circle. The It girl in question is known other than ultimate jet-setter Genevieve Jones, whose glam outfits — always just the perfect amount of offbeat — have been inspiring our vintage shopping habits since she moved here from Louisiana. More than just a social butterfly, the Southern transplant has translated her unique style, or "Fashion forward classic!" as she describes it, into an eponymous jewelry line (and now handbags!) that channels her globe-trotting and understated decadence. Sold at influential boutiques like The Webster and Collette, Jones' creations, like the iconic safety pin earrings, have been spied on trendsetters like Kate Moss and Rihanna. To get in on her dressing secrets, we toured the designer's airy Lafayette Street loft, where Jones tried on her favorite outfits, a copy-worthy mix of high and low; think jaw-dropping bejeweled A.F. Vandevorst shoes paired with Zara jeans, or vintage Morton Myles accompanied by Canal Street earrings. With a backdrop as eclectic as the ensembles — a giant stuffed peacock! psychedelic skateboards!— we may have asked Gen if she needed a roommate to crash on that giant tie-dyed day bed. Hey, we'll let her borrow our clothes, too.
My Style: Rachel Pally Shows Us Around Her Los Feliz Digs
If you stalk celeb style like us, then Rachel Pally must seem like an
old pal (pun intended). If not, here's the 411: She’s the brilliant
designer behind all of those super-flattering maxis you’ve seen on
everyone from SJP and Beyoncé to Jennifer Aniston and Katy Perry. As
you can see from the dazzling list of her famous fans, Pally's threads
are versatile enough for every style sentiment. But the best part is,
these fine jersey frocks are comfy-yet-cool enough to wear during an
errand-packed afternoon or a swank-ified night. And, after hanging
with this West Coast empress, we found that Pally's personality and
airy abode are just as warm and inviting as her wares. Want proof?
Cruise through to read our fun convo with the designer, peep some
seriously stunning interior snaps, and get ready to really try RP on
for size.
If you get the shopping itch after all that talk about pretty clothes (we don't blame you!) — we also happen to have a super-exclusive Reserve deal, offering $100 off of everything on Rachel's site. Check it out on our Reserve site. See you in the tabloids next? We hope so!

The It Sisters Of VanJess Show Us They Can Carry More Than A Tune
If you're not willing to subject yourself to scathing criticism on Idol (hey, at least Simon's gone!), finding rags-to-riches success in the music industry might seem like a pipe dream. But really, forget that primetime rat race. YouTube is the ticket to success for any aspiring vocalist with talent these days. Just look at YT vet Justin Bieber rolling around town in his Ferrari! To bring things full circle, the VanJess wonder women we're featuring today started out in '08 covering tunes by the Biebs and Beyoncé, and are now well on their way to becoming (we hope), the next M.I.A. (x2).
With over 220,000 subscribers and 48 million vid views, Nigerian-American sisters Jessica and Ivana have voices like songbirds and style like stone-cold foxes. And there's no sibling rivalry here, either. The two amigas share clothes freely and jam out to everything from Ella Fitzgerald to Stevie Wonder (they even people-watch together for inspiration!). We love grooving to their R&B-meets-rock sound, always spewed from poppy MAC-drenched pouts, so we went behind the screens to find out what they're all about. Cruise our crazy-stylish snaps, and get your free fix online while you can — we're pretty sure the A&R dudes are hot on their tails! Next thing you know, it will be them behind the wheel of a hot ride (can't you picture a pink vintage convertible in their futures?).

3 Moms & Daughters Play Dress-Up In L.A.'s Loveliest Closets
For us, some of the most memorable moments of childhood took place just outside our mommas' closets. Remember gaining entrée to that wonderland of womanhood for the first time? How about when she gifted you your first set of pearls, or zipped you into your prom dress? It's funny that this storage space can hold so much of life's weight.
So many moms have been collecting a lifetime of finery — and memories — all marking the evolutions of their own styles. Whether they were Mossimo or Chanel, her prized possessions were the epitome of chic in our eyes, and we had to get our hands on them — even if we had to do it clandestine-style! Well, now that we're all grown up, we've snapped two lovely mom-daughter duos (and one trio!) inside closets we're clamoring for (they're bigger than our apartments), and they all have plenty of tales to tell. And, these lovely ladies are here to prove that this room is not just a useful place to hang clothes — but rather, a sanctuary filled with timeless mementos. Click through, and we promise you won't experience anything resembling buyer's remorse.

8 Ultra-Cool Moms Show Off Their Killer Style
Whether motherhood is on your radar right now or you're just ramping up to lavish your own mother with gifts and hugs this weekend, moms are part of our history and biology and often have lots to teach in the ways of love, nurturing, and — yes — fashion, too.
Some of our most beloved friends in fashion are mothers themselves, and we've called upon their maternal insights to share some of the wisdom they've gained after popping out their broods. Just in time for Mother's Day, check out some bits of wisdom (both maternal and satorial!) that we've gleaned from the hot mommas in our world.

Peek Inside The Webster's Main Man's Waterfront Pad
John Lin is Miami. While that might feel like a bit of hyperbole, just hear us out: As the Head of Communications for the store that has firmly positioned Miami as a fashion heavyweight, John Lin is responsible for the buzz The Webster seems to never stop enjoying. Which is quite a lot these days— the store just received incredible accolades for the Miami-influenced Target collection, and is constantly launching all sorts of exclusives with the likes of Proenza Schouler and BLK DNM, and is even expanding further with some of the best e-commerce shopping our computer screens have landed upon. And, right in the middle of all the action is, you guessed it, Mr. Lin.
So, when we got the opportunity to check out John's very own waterfront space, we knew we were in for a treat. We weren't wrong, either — his apartment is decked out from floor to ceiling with bold work from local artists, quirky design items, and all the stories — either from his jetsetting days in Paris, his New York fashion stint, or his in-the-know Miami lifestyle — behind the loot. Check out his killer crib and get the scoop on his favorite secret spots, where he gets his incredible design furniture, and his inimitable style — and, of course, what it's like working at our favorite store, too.

Channeling: Hanne Gaby's Clashy-Cool Style
Belgian model
Hanne Gaby Odiele
isn't your everyday beauty; her strong forehead, low eyebrows, and chiseled chin aren't the features you'd typically expect of a world renowned supermodel. But, clearly, it isn't her conventionalism that's landed her the top spots on the runway, magazine covers, and fashion campaigns. In fact, Hanne is stunning in a way we can't describe, and her style sense is just as singular and compelling. In a clash of patterns, proportions, and personalities, Hanne's style is a pastiche of trends and references — a global mishmash of aesthetics that we expect a kick-ass international model to espouse. Click through to check out a couple of our favorite Hanne looks, as well as a few pieces that'll help you copy her enviable style.

Cat Deeley Shows Off Her Surprisingly Cool Off-Duty Style
Cat Deeley's one of those chicks with boundless energy, likeability in spades, and the right kind of risk-taking style. So, it seems only natural that so many peeps tune in to her show, So You Think You Can Dance, not just for the sweet moves, but to peep the British host's always-exciting costume changes.
When we met her at the construction site that is her new Benedict Canyon home, things were hectic (there's still no running water!), but she was all smiles and stellar attire. With contractors drilling away, the former model threw together luxe looks on the fly. Impressive, right? Take a gander at the on-air glamour-girl's foxy frocks and casual weekend wear, and find out how she manages to make all the madness seem like one wondrous walk in the park.

Shutterbug Candice Lake's 4 Picture-Perfect Looks
During Fashion Week, there are a few friendly faces that one needs to see before it officially feels like Fashion Week: Bill Cunningham, Anna Wintour, Tommy Ton, Susie Bubble... and now, Candice Lake. After meeting and falling in love with the shutterbug during the past few seasons, we've started to count on glimpsing that flash of blonde hair, that sweep of lipstick, and killer ensembles that deserves to be in front of the camera as much as behind it. Seriously, Candice's daring Fashion Week style is just as (if not more!) compelling than her subjects, and if there's anyone that can pull of the Second Amendment trend (the right to bear arms — zing!), it's her. Candice was kind enough to show off four of her favorite outfits as well as share some style and shooting secrets that make her one of the the loveliest lensman this side of the runway.
