Trendspotting: Below-the-Knee Skirts

We love this look–and so do designers. Everyone from Rachel Roy to Matthew Ames to Marc by Marc Jacobs experimented with it. But it’s not the easiest to pull off. How will you style your below-the-knee skirt?

Katie Hillier Talks Jewelry, Luxury, and, Of Course, Bunnies

Katie Hillier has had a career most could only dream of. Designing accessories at Luella, Marc by Marc Jacobs, and working as a contributor and senior-editor at POP, Katie’s resume is a fashion wonder.

But it was only recently that the British designer turned her sights on a different goal: creating her own label. Fresh on the heels of her win as Accessories Designer of the Year at the British Fashion Awards in 2009, Katie set to work on Hillier, her eponymous jewelry line.

Mixing luxury with fun, Hillier is adorable, unexpected, and highly covetable. Click through for our convo with Katie.

Adventures in Copyright: Playing Spot the Difference With Marc by Marc and “High Fashion”

Thanks to reader Kaitlyn for sending over this AIC tip which pretty much blew our minds. Marc by Marc is often knocked off but this one takes the cake. Lori’s, a shoe store that bills themselves as the “sole of Chicago,” is selling a bag they’re calling “High Fashion” that is almost indistinguishable from the Marc by Marc ‘Petal to the Metal’ Flap Pouchette, save the price. Lori’s “High Fashion sling across” bag is $128 and the real thing is $228.

Adventures in Copyright: Really, Forever 21?

A reader sent in this tip–a Forever 21 T-shirt that says a bunch of nonsense in the exact same font and design as this Marc by Marc tote. We thought this was such a strange thing to copy.

The tote bag is not even part of the main Marc by Marc collection, but a $28 “special item” available only at Marc by Marc stores alongside condoms and key chains. The tongue-in-cheek label hilariously reads “Jacobs by Marc Jacobs for Marc by Marc Jacobs in collaboration with Marc Jacobs for Marc by Marc Jacobs.” The Forever 21 Tee says something about “heritage” and “California” and blah blah blah.

How To Make Red, White, and Blue Look Chic (Or at Least Cute)

It’s Fourth of July weekend. That means no work, the beach, picnics, fireworks, family, and friends. But it’s also a celebration of the birth of the United States. What better way to recognize our independence than to wear the national colors?

Oh, yes, we recognize that red, white, and blue is not the easiest combination to pull off. So we’re offering some ideas that’ll keep you from looking like our favorite kook, Katy Perry.

Finally! I’ve Found My Backpack Soulmate

I’ve been in search of the perfect backpack since before fashion week. After years of carrying incredibly heavy bags from city to city, I’m simply fed up with aching shoulders. And of course, my preppy tendencies mean that I love the look of a rucksack.

But it hasn’t been an easy search. There’s been a ton I’ve admired–from Marc by Marc Jacobs‘ runway version to Alexander Wang’s black leather style, but it was hard finding one that actually made sense to buy. I didn’t want to spend a ton of money, I wanted something light–but sturdy enough to carry a laptop–and I wanted it to look good. This wasn’t an easy as it sounds, especially for someone who’s very, very particular about her accessories.

I’m Just Too Old To Wear Marc by Marc Jacobs

Yesterday’s Marc by Marc Jacobs show was cute. A friend said it looked a “little too J.Crew” to carry a runway, but overall I was impressed. The palette–lots of red, putty and olive green mixed with tan and bright blue and yellow accents–was pleasing, and there were plenty of pretty dresses to wear to weddings, [...]
