The Basics: Sweater Dresses

Among the season's many cozy, snuggly pieces, one we're really loving is the ubiquitous sweater dress. Perfect for the office or for after hours, it's polished, classic and guaranteed to keep you comfortable in less-than-favorable conditions. It also presents innumerable styling options, which makes it incredible versatile. A tunic-style cut looks flawless with leggings and flats; belts and delicate ruffle details lend some styles a professional edge; ruffles and bows take them from simple to sassy (and party-worthy!). Here, a few we're eyeing:


How To Wear Liquid Leggings

liquid leggings - HUE liquid leggingsWhen the leggings first made their way back into fashion a few years ago, the trend was not universally loved. Despite some vocal opposition, celebs kept stepping out in leggings, and it wasn't long before fashion icons like Victoria Beckham were embracing the trend. Leggings are here to stay, folks. Which, in fashion terms, means they'll be popular for at least another few seasons. Liquid leggings are the latest sensation in the legging trend -- liquid leggings are made of shiny, reflective fabric to give your outfit star power. Keep reading for tips on how to wear liquid leggings.

Bold Holiday Heels

Just in time for the holiday season, designers are rolling out plenty of heels that are like works of art. Visually intriguing, splashed with color or unusual details (and often both), these shoes promise to make dressing for the season's parties easier than ever. Here are a few we're eyeing:



Apple Bottom Jeans

Apple Bottom Jeans Multi-platinum superstar Nelly is the mastermind behind Apple Bottom jeans, which are created to cater toward trendsetting women of all shapes and sizes. Designed with a woman's natural curve in mind, Apple Bottom jeans accentuate many different silhouettes, including plus size and curvy fits. After all, not every gal happens to be a size 0.

Take it from Nelly himself, who says, "A woman should not try to fit the clothes; the clothes should fit the woman!"

Amen, brother. Check out a few slimming styles we've had our eyes on:

Trend Spotlight: Leggings

Slimmer than your skinniest skinny jeans, leggings bring us into new territory this season. They're a throwback to the 1980s, when many women embraced the stretchy garment as everyday wear and paired it with a loose-fitting top (strategically placed t-shirt clip optional). In this modern age, many '80s-inspired looks have experienced a resurgence, but it's the legging that has really caught on most ubiquitously, thanks to a host of severe, bold updates (think studded, bright and animal-printed styles that flaunted the runways).

To make the most of this versatile piece, it's best to wear them as a complement to the overall outfit, much like you would a pair of tights. Balancing the form-fitting legging with a roomier top is essential; pair them with long, sleek blazers, boyfriend cardigans, tunics and dresses, to name a few. The key is to choose a top that covers your hips and bottom for a flattering top-to-bottom silhouette. Check out a few styles we're eyeing:

Fabulous Fall Florals

Florals are so intimately associated with springtime that they're usually not highly considered during fall and winter. Not necessary, we say, especially given the influx of fun floral prints dominating perfectly cold weather-appropriate attire at the moment. From chic, wear-anywhere tops to luxe, party-worthy dresses, these pieces add a little leverage to the season's essentials by throwing some sassy color into the mix. Check out a few of our must-haves:



The LBD at American Eagle

Black American Eagle Dress
American Eagle carries little black dresses? I had no idea!

I'll admit; I've always thought of American Eagle as a teen/tween brand and have harsh memories of the plaid, flannel and boots phase in which I proudly participated in for the duration of my high school career. I believe it was unofficially sponsored by American Eagle, as was everything else in my closet.
