Wanting/Wishing/Wearing: White Denim - As Seen on Angelina Jolie, Victoria Beckham, Nicole Kidman, Hilary Duff and Jennifer Lopez

(Click to Enlarge)

Spring is officially here and I'm seeing all things white. But I must admit...my white denim had some HEAVY rotation even during the colder months (WINTER WHITE). Find yourself a great pair of white denim jeans...and I can assure you, they will be that pair that you pick up, place back in your drawer and say to yourself, 'Nope...just wore them!"

White denim lends itself to a clean, nautical and all around "jet-set" feel. You can wear it casually or dress it up for a night out on the town. Looking at the gorgeous lady-loves who have been spotted in their white hot denim, take some notes. Angelina Jolie, Victoria Beckham, Hilary Duff and Jennifer Lopez ALL paired their white with shades of gray...although Victoria is a bit more shimmery silver. How great does this color combo fare? LOVE it! Nicole went nautical with her blue/white stripes and sneakers...her overall look is "OK" in my book...but I like the 'idea' she's after!

Seriously...my white denim is one of my go-to pieces. I was at a BCBG Event with a close girlfriend, holding a pair of white skinnies in my hand and cringing at the price...she was the 'convincer' and told me to splurge because I wold inevitably wear them a TON! Boy, was she ever right! They've already gotten their money's worth, in my eyes!

So naturally, as I usually do, I've included some speedy-savvy-stylin' below. No excuses to NOT add some white denim to your Spring/Summer ensembles...all pieces are under $150, yet again! And remember...your white denim doesn't have to be in the form of bottoms...check out the jackets I have too! I'm totally in L-O-V-E with the Style&co. Denim Swing Jacket because it's nearly always light jacket weather here in San Francisco! Enjoy!

Male Bytes: Female Fashion from a Man's Perspective - Preston Horner Byting Ashley Olsen, Mandy Moore, Sophia Bush and Whitney Port

(Click to Enlarge)

I've got a nice weekend present for you...a Male Byting good time! Today's Male Byter is my baby bro, Preston...and though in the hot heat of midterm exams and testing (haven't heard that word in a while...make my hair stand on end) he still came through with an exhilarating and straight to the point byte for us.

Preston has always been a 'man of few words' but he also knows what he likes to see his lady-loves wearing. Note to self, for his girlfriends of present and future, "Do NOT wear tall black boots! For some strange reason, Preston does NOT find them fashionable and directly correlates them to wanting money for sex!" I might have to sway his opinion next time the family is together! I adore a good pair of black boots!

So, without further ado...let's see what Preston had to say about our Bevvy of Beauties today, as they are all donning black and white ensembles; Ashley Olsen, Mandy Moore, Sophia Busy and Whitney Port (of MTV Hills fame).

Ashley Olsen - "I don't really dig the bug-eye sunglasses. Don't know why or when that fad happened. Not a big fan of the prostitute boots either. She looks a lot better than she did during that anorexic phase (if that's even the right twin). That huge bag must be filled with snickers and salami. Too bad it looks like she's about to be hit by a very large car."

Mandy Moore - "I like Mandy Moore usually, but that outfit kinda isn't doin' it for me. I think it's the stockings."

Sophia Bush - "She looks nice. Perhaps too much make-up though, but not enough to really bother me. I don't normally think the high-pants, or whatever they're called, look very good, but she wears them well."

Whitney Port - "I don't know about this one. She's sporting both the prostitute boots and the stockings. Her jacket and scarf are alright I guess. She looks like she's trying to hard to wear as much stuff and "accessorize" as mush as she could. I really don't like that."

So there you have it...straight from the lil' bro's mouth! Seriously...men are tough critics! I rather dig all these women's ensembles and would totally sport each and every one. Seriously, maybe I should turn the tables and have women sounding off about some male looks...what do you think about that, huh? Regardless, thanks Pres for your input and we''ll be SURE to feature your cute self again!

Some lady-loves who have already been spotted baring their clavicles:

London and Milan Fashion Week: Pretty in Pink

(Click to Enlarge)

(Designers featured above, upper left and clockwise; Emilio Pucci, Luisa Beccaria, Gucci, Eley Kishimoto, Giles, Sinha Stanic, Armand Basi, Marni)

Awwwww...though you make think today's post is strictly fashion...it's actually commemorating a wonderful celebration of something going on in RunwayDaily's personal life. What could it be? My sister is 5 1/2 months pregnant and just yesterday she found out that it's an itty bitty lady-love in there! Awwwww! So without further ado...this entire post is completely dedicated to my gorgeous sister, who was always the 'one in pink' and her lil' peanut that is healthily growing inside of her! Already the doting aunt? You bet!

Pink was all over the Fall Runways in London and Milan. Coming in numerous shades and forms...pink pieces weren't just overtly feminine, as you might think...though I've selected my fave looks to show you, above, and they are all quite feminine! The look from Emilio Pucci (COLORED TIGHTS) in the upper left just rocks my world and the MAXI DRESS at Gucci is so summer-girl chic!

Pink is an easy color to wear all summer long...light pink, close to white, similar to the looks featured at Luisa Beccaria and Marni above, will keep the sun from burning down your back. The lighter the shade = the cooler your temp will stay. I will just have to say that when I was a young girl, I was SUCH a tomb boy. I would tuck all my dresses into my shorts underneath (sneaky me), promptly upon arriving at school. My sister, on the other hand, was always such the 'little lady' and though I detested the pink that Mom put all over her...a little bit of me always wondered, 'What would it be like to don pink and not blue?'

As an adult now, I just adore pink and probably wear it more than RunwayDaily Sis does. But one thing is definitely certain...though pink may not be top of her list...she better get used to it! Having an itty-bitty vah-jay-jay in the oven means pink overload, for YEARS to come!!! But for you, my wonderful reader, enjoy and sport your pink pride all Summer long, as it WILL carry over nicely into the Fall. Here's some speedy-savvy-stylin' for you, below...all under $150 and just to wet your lil' pink palette!

Runway Report is Right On: Gossip Girls, Taylor Momsen and Leighton Meester Agree...Ankle Socks + Heels = HOT!

(Click to Enlarge)

And what a gorgeous gal we are featuring today! Jenny Humphrey from Gossip Girl fame (aka - actress Taylor Momsen) was recently spotted, on set, sporting a trend that we told you about LAST October (click HERE for story). Her little polka dotted goodies (socks), white tights and red patent pumps totally add a saucy dose of school-girl cool to her already sexed up uniform.

For more certification: her cast-mate, Leighton Meester, was recently asked for her "Hot List" for Spring in the March issue of Allure. What was number four on her list? Meester said, "Anna Sui socks. Ankle socks paired with heels are sweet and unexpected!" So...I won't dare give you anymore details...but will provide you with one more example; Burberry's entire Spring Campaign featured AGYNESS DEYN and look closely, our stylish gazelle is wearing ankle socks and killer, STRAP-HAPPY platforms!

How to Wear It: Gladiator Sandals for Every Occasion...As Seen On: Ashley Tisdale, Miley Cyrus, Vanessa Hudgens and Mary Kate Olsen

(Click to Enlarge)

We here at RunwayDaily want to give you every reason to be one of the most fashionable persons around. We want to keep you up-to-date on recent Runway trends but we also want to show you how we love to wear the hottest trends too. We've mention Gladiator Sandals on numerous occasions (Here and Here and Here) but maybe you're reluctant to buy them because you're not really sure 'how to wear them!' Well, we're here to save the day!

Gladiator sandals have long been a staple in RD's closet for over a few years now. Sporting a high pair (I'm talking up to the knees) with MAXI dresses or my low pair with jean shorts...my Gladiators have seen many-a-mile thus far. They've gotten their money's worth...that's certain. I've included four great shots of some stylish celebs who have donned Gladiators on casual and dressy occassions. Featured above, left to right; Ashley Tisdale, Miley Cyrus, Vanessa Hudgens and Mary Kate Olsen. Adding their own personal style and flair, each woman accentuates her sandals perfectly. My only qualm has to be that Vanessa Hudgens has her jeans tucked into her sandals...I just don't dig...THAT!

Other than that...Ashley Tisdale is my FAVE look and I've recreated the ensemble for you, below...the entire look for nearly $130 (the sandals are more than HALF!) I also completely dig Vanessa Hudgens and Mary Kate Olsen's take on the trend...black leather, messy hair...so sexy and badass! So whatever your style may be...find a way to work in a pair of Gladiator sandals and show off your bright new coral pedicure, in style!

A-list Accessory: White Hot Kicks for Spring

(Click to Enlarge)

It's almost Easter...and yes, that does mean egg hunts, chocolate, easter grass sticking to the bottom of your feet (so annoying) and a seriously cute easter DRESS! (more on that later) I'm here to ALERT you to another thing that happens on Easter...you BUST OUT those white hot kicks!

As a lil' lady I remember my Mom taking my sister and me shopping for our Easter dresses (or we'd sew them, no joke) and new glorious, spick-and-span white Sunday School shoes. Mary-janes and frilly white socks as a wee-tyke and then even some ANKLE BOOTS as a teen, no joke. My white shoe collection, over the years, ran the gamut. But I have to tell you one teeny bit of advice that RD Momma always told us, 'There is nothing in the world that breaks my heart more than a pretty young thang in DIRTY white shoes!" No joke...as soon as our white kicks got dirty...off to Goodwill they went!

Enough of the reminiscing...we have work to do. Easter is this Sunday so think about either a - investing in some white kicks or b - busting yours out this weekend. I've given you some inspiration, via the 5 starlets above; Leighton Meester, Jessica Alba, Natalie Portman, Miley Cyrus and Rosario Dawson. Each wears her white kicks in a different way, but all look stunning and trendy. Heels for Leighton Meester and Jessica Alba, Casual in Converse and low-boots for Natalie Portman and Miley Cyrus. Lastly, a printed heel with touches of white for Rosario Dawson might be just what you're looking for, too!

Some speedy-savvy-styling below...with all kicks under $150. Some of my faves, that I don't want you to miss are; the Dolce Vita Bermuda Gladiator, the Kate Spade 'Emmy' open-toe, the Steve Madden Bryt in White Patent and lastly...my wardrobe staple, as learned by my Mom again...a casual Minnetonka Moccasin! So your choices are limitless but as you start to sport your white, please make sure to keep them clean and fresh...don't want to be upsetting RD's Mom! Enjoy!

Fashion Week Frenzy: Pleated Looks Create School-Girl Chic!

Fashion Week Frenzy - a trend reappearing in New York, London, Milan and Paris runway shows.

(Click to Enlarge)

(Click to Enlarge)

Pleats are a gorgeous accent and a sure-fire way to jazz up even the most boring ensemble. Featured in Shows all over the world, pleats had their own little front-row seat adorning some of Fall's Hottest new looks.

Glancing at the looks above, I'm truly drooling over the the entire look at BCBG Maxazria...a bit of SHEER, a DOUBLE-WRAPPED belt and those kicks are killah manillah! Love the electric blue at Iceberg (though I'd add a belt to cinch in my waist) and the chic accessories and English Country feel at Dolce & Gabbana also stole the show.

Make sure to take notice of the little tennis skirt versions at both Jens Laugesen and Lacoste as well. These seem to be popping up on RD radar...so do keep them in mind for a viable pleated option, as well! I must also point out that I am 100% digging all FOUR pairs of tights that graced the gams of the foursome, above...especially the lacy goodness at Nicole Miller. So perfectly off-sets those golden pleats, doesn't it?

(Click to Enlarge)

Last but not least...here are four more looks from the Fall Runways. Do I have to mention the tennis skirts again? I think not...I'm sure you spotted them right away. Jason Wu's entire gown is a gorgeous way to wear this trend...MAKE SURE to cinch your waist with a belt! No need for all your curves to be lost among the pleats.

Lucky for you, I've included some certain deals and steals for you to correctly emulate this look, below. And guess what...I'm sure many of you are nursing a possible 'late night' at the moment, but also are totally ready to start planning your next soiree...so have no fear, a pleated goody is just what you should sport! All items featured in today's speedy-savvy-stylin' are under $50. You're welcome!

Accessory Trend: Spring for a Choker Necklace!

So what do we have here? On this bright and cheery St. Patty's Day morning...I wanted to share a certain accessory that I just adore. I wore chokers all the time during my High School/College years and I recently ransacked my Grandmother's old jewelry and came out with a few...well, they...are...about...to...be...rotated...in! Chokers can be worn with just about anything except a T-shirt. Any neckline that shows a bit more skin is where your choker will get it's money's worth!

Just the name "Choker" already evokes images of something very naughty and bad. But I'm a good-girl and LOVE to sport a choker...so I do believe it can go either way. This weekend, RD fam got their movie on and watched two in which gorgeous chokers were donned the entire time; The Other Boleyn Girl and Elizabeth. Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johansson (TOBG) and Cate Blanchett (E) were regal in their versions and they all have gorgeous necklines and décolletage so the chokers looked AWESOME on each.

But have no fear...stick a glittery and fun choker under a collared shirt, with jeans and cute heels and you have one juxtaposed and FUN outfit for meeting the girls or a casual date! Check out my speedy-savvy-stylin' below...and for lack of a better way of saying this...go get yourself choked! My fave piece from the below assortment has to be either the Asos Coast Cherry Necklace or the Vivienne Westwood Red Label Pearl and Orb (that would fulfill your timelss PEARL quota too). I must say I'm also eye-balling the Forever 21 Hanging Star version...at $4.80 you fufill your choker and STAR power, all at once! Enjoy!

Fashion Week Frenzy: Dress Green with Envy...So Appropriate for St Patty's Day!

Fashion Week Frenzy - a trend reappearing in New York, London, Milan and Paris runway shows.

(Click to Enlarge)

Bottom line...I love me some green! I have blue eyes, so a green top makes them pop and even brings out subtle shades too! I love RD Hub in green too...just a color I'm naturally drawn too and always LOVE to see others sport. Happily, this year, the Fall Runway Shows were virtually overflowing with all shades of green. As you can see, above, some note-worthy and killer ensembles entirely created out of green shades.

I've been saving these "green goodies" for you, until today...seeing as how St. Patty's Day parties/parades are just around the corner so everyone has a bit of 'green' on the brain! What am I sporting at the moment...a pair of jeans and a long-sleeved green T! Yep...the Irish hubby has some serious St. Patty's Day pride...so we've started donning our green a few days early!

Looking at the above collage, I honestly love all FIVE looks. I'd wear every single one...each to a different occasion. I don't think you should opt for an entire green ensemble though, for St. Patty's Day, as it might get you laughed at. Instead...use my speedy-savvy-stylin' below, and opt for 'pieces' to coordinate with other items from your wardrobe to subtlety add your GREEN!

All my speedy-savvy-stylin' to day is under $150, so there should be NO excuses on this one. Plus, as you can see...green is one of Fall's hottest hues as it's landed on our list of Fall Fashion Week Frenzies! So, please do browse the array of dresses I have for you below and learn to pair green 'pieces' with other items from your wardrobe via the Runway inspiration pictured right below the speedy-savvy-stylin!

(Click to Enlarge)

Not only did green appear on the Runway in wearable form...but there were also some statement-making touches of green that showed themselves via a killer accessory, or two. Below, you'll see green running rampant on the Fall Runways on shoes, bags, belts, necklaces, hats and scarfs. So I've added some more speedy-savvy-stylin' for green accessories for you, below...also, all under $150. So my lady-loves...sport your green with Irish pride, or just sport it! Don't be a bah-hum-bug, as I can assure you this color will be HOT on into Fall! I'm completely eyeing the Python-Embossed Metal Frame Clutch at Ann Taylor and Landscaper Scarf at Anthropologie, via my speedy-savvy-stylin' below!

Male Bytes: Female Fashion from a Man's Perspective - Nathan Pritchard Byting Natalie Portman, Sophia Bush, Gwyneth Paltrow and Scarlett Johansson

(Click to Enlarge)

Happy Friday and with my well wishes for a wonderful day, comes one of your favorite and quite frankly, entertaining category posts...Male Bytes! Today's byter, Nathan Pritchard, hails from 'across the pond' and is one stylish man, indeed. He's giving his opinion on the ensembles worn by four gorgeous gals; Natalie Portman, Sophia Bush, Gwyneth Paltrow and Scarlett Johansson. His keen sense of daily fashion might just be due to the fact he's a UK darling that isn't afraid to take fashion chances. While I met Nathan when we were both living in Australia, he is, undoubtedly, the only man that I've ever seen look 'good' in cropped pants...no joke! Also...can I just point out a wee-bit of similarity between our Nathan here and Mr. Jude Law! Yes...I know you can see it! But...Nathan's cuter, for sure!

But less about Nathan and more about his take on today's Bevvy of Beauties. Nathan, was a man of few words but I love that he gets right to the point and tells us all, exactly what his thoughts are on each ensemble and on the beauty, in general.

So, without further ado...let's hear what Nathan had to say about these four captivating starlets:

Natalie Portman - "Not a massive fan. Hair needs to be more dynamic in the photo and I don't believe she has a good posture. I don't think she possesses the 'whoa' factor. However she has a very pretty face. She's the kinda girl you would like to take home to see your mum."

Sophia Bush - "I have no idea who she is. I think she has a very long face and she looks stumpy."

Gwyneth Paltrow - "Naturally very beautiful...she doesn't appear to wear loads of make-up which I really find attractive. Also she doesn't mind being a lighter colour. Far too many ladies nowadays are concerned with fake tans. Only negative is that she seems a little too clean cut."

Scarlett Johansson - "My favourite. This girl signifies class. She always looks stylish. She is extremely beautiful, blonde golden locks and a fantastic smile."

Nathan, you are the cutest "Brit" I know! Some of the words you use just make me giggle (uh hum - "mum") and calling Sophia Bush "stumpy" and not even knowing who she is...ha, ha! Well, that just goes to show that the 'mass media' isn't even reaching ALL the masses. Thank you for your great insight, you were a fabulous addition to our Male Bytes category. Enjoy!

(role)Model Style: Backstage with Ania Trublaska, Skye Stracke, Inguna Butane, Coco Rocha, Edita Vilkeviciute, Margaryta Senchylo and Masha Novoselova

(Click to Enlarge)

Awwww...I just love me some (role)Model Style! Seriously, these lady-loves know how to dress even when their not gallivanting down the catwalk! Models featured above, upper left and clockwise; Ania Trublaska, Skye Stracke, Inguna Butane, Coco Rocha, Edita Vilkeviciute, Margaryta Senchylo and Masha Novoselova. You will notice a bit of a color scheme here...grey and black, much? We all have items in our wardrobes that fall into these two categories. For a dreary rainy/foggy day...this is your perfect go-to pairing. What do I dig, personally, about these gorgeous gal's ensembles? Oh, do let me have your ear for a moment...

I love how Ania Trublaska paired her short jean shorts with grey tights and a classic herringbone blazer and chunky black scarf. Next up, a bit of MIX & MATCH for Skye Stracke as she took two prints and put them together for instant chic! I probably don't even have to mention this, but I will...Inguna Butane's kicks are to die for, cool! How about Coco Rocha's easy to emulate style? Black TUXEDO jacket paired with skinny blacks and a subtle-sheer T...get on that!

Ready for grey and black pairing yet? I sure am. Only a few more of my faves...Edita Vilkeviciute took leather to a whole new level in bag, jacket and heel forms...also love the belt. Last but not least, we have the precious pairing of Margaryta Senchylo and Masha Novoselova and definitely take notice of Novoselova's TURTLENECK and over-belt combo. Tres chic Miss Masha!

So, needless to say, speedy-savvy-stylin' is NOT needed...you can handle it! These girls were photographed over the last month sporting these ensembles so DO know the grey/black combos are still going strong, behind the fashion lines and are ever so captivating and cute!

Paris Fashion Week: Givenchy is Gilded with Killer Gold Accessories - Layered Chains, Gladiator Sandals and Heart-warmers

Givenchy's Fall 2008 Collection just knocked my socks off! Killer gilded accessories ran rampant atop monochromatic ensembles. Three key accessories made my eyes glimmer, so I feel it is my duty in life to share them with you. First up...the extraordinary layering of some seriously chunky gold chains:

(Click Thumbnails to be Directed to ShopStyle for Info & to BUY!)

We all have a large collection of gold chains, no doubt...but let's just say yours is only so-so! Please just take a look and breeze through my speedy-savvy-stylin' above. Yes, that's right...all chains are under $50 so there are no excuses. I'm not saying you have to layer as thick as they did at Givenchy...but don't be afraid to pair 3 or 4 together over a white ensemble for Spring and black for Fall. Up next...the Gold Gladiator Sandals:

(Click Thumbnails to be Directed to ShopStyle for Info & to BUY!)

You all should already know my upmost love of all things Gladiator (Here and Here and Here and Here.) Yes, we officially have a fashion crush. Point made, over and over again...invest in some Gladiator sandals. And as far as Riccardo Tisci at Givenchy is concerned, the more golden the better! Lastly, add a little Golden Heart to your ensemble:

(Click Thumbnails to be Directed to ShopStyle for Info & to BUY!)

This is the perfect accessory addition to all those LADY-LIKE looks we've been chatting about for Spring, as of recent! Then carry your lil' Golden Hearted Goodness on over, into Fall, paired with black or a darker shade.

So we're definitely up for giving some golf claps to Riccardo Tisci at Givenchy for inspiring us to broaden our gilded horizons and add a little glimmer to our Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter ensembles!

RunwayDaily...is...Back...in...Action!

Woo woo! Can I get a woo woo? We're back in action! It will obviously be a slow start back to full-time writing, as my folders are all over my desktop and I don't even know where to find everything. But, great news, pretty much everything has been SAVED to an external hard drive...but please just be patient over the next few weeks. Want to thank all my avid readers who sent love and support my way...it meant so much to me. Seriously, this wasn't easy. I also want to thank Debbie Yoon who is a computer genius and got me back up, in working order, last night! You are a rock star, officially! I'm so thankful for everyone that's helped and even asked when RunwayDaily would be back up and going...so without further ado, get yourself ready, because RunwayDaily is back in ACTION! Hi-yah! (That was a karate kick sound, in case you didn't know!)

RunwayDaily is Takin' an Itty-Bitty Break

Hello to all my avid and wonderful readers...I'm sitting at the Apple Store and nearly had tears running down my face. My trusty lil' MacBookPro with every bit of RunwayDaily info, every vaca photo, every wonderful Word Document has ceased to work on this glorious/gorgeous day. No fear...files are being downloaded as I type (5 hours worth) and a new hard drive will be installed...but RunwayDaily will be out of commission for 3/5 days, because of this little mishap! Grrrr....I know. I was just getting to Paris Fashion Week and had sooooo many goodies to show! So...I'll be back with you as soon as I can. Believe me, I'm beyond annoyed...but a lesson to ALL of you who do not back up your files, DO IT! A scary morning for sure...we can chalk this one up to RunwayDaily history!

Runway to Reality: Balmain - Spring 2008 - Hippy, Hippy Shake

(Click to Enlarge)

Runway to Reality is a killer RunwayDaily Category for those sort of days/weekends when you just STARE at our closet and start cursing every item of clothing in it. You don't have TIME to run out to the mall or nearest boutique and your creative juices are NOT EVEN flowing! My dears, that is precisely WHY I created this category.

It's tough to be a fashionista everyday. Dare I admit, I've been known to sport a Juicy suit every now and then and some Adidas sweats...but I really do try to LOVE every ensemble that I cloak my bod in! So back to today's post...Hippy, Hippy Shake! Balmain's Spring 2008 Collection was chock-full of hipster attire and as the first day of Spring is swiftly approaching, March 20, I find myself ready/willing/wanting to wear light colors/light weight fabrics, again!

I've included two looks that are directly inspired by Balmain's Spring Collection...and are they EVER the classic spin on hipster fash! I know, I know dear readers, that Twiggy was a whole different fashion era...but you have to admit she's pretty darn cute strikin' a pose, there, in the background! So enjoy all the goodies from the speedy-savvy-stylin'! There are some pieces I want you to take notice of; Spring scarves are soooo Hollywood glam for a casual outfit = a definite DO! How about the flat GLADIATOR SANDALS, do you have a pair yet? Get yourself some for Spring! And just like our recent Male Byter, Chris mentioned in his post HERE, some large eco-friendly bags are included for storing all your Spring Shopping "spoils."

I'm absolutely loving the speedy-savvy-stylin' today because I would totally ROCK-out in both of these ensembles, and they are so very different! One look is pretty in pink and one is tough girl chic, so go ahead and decide which look YOU like best and get on it...shop away. So, out of curiosity, which lady-love are you?
