Holidays with the family can be stressful, period, and trying to figure out the appropriate outfits to pack is another must-do task that shouldn't make you want to cry this Thanksgiving. To help, I'd like to turn your attention to something from our pre-adult glory days that's sure to soothe as much as inform: Gilmore Girls. Are you smiling yet? The show was so good, zippy dialogue and Stars Hollow perfection included: Rory and Lorelai had the mother-daughter relationship of our dreams and a preppy, always-tasteful wardrobe that was basically made for a vacation spent with your extended clan. A cardigan and pencil skirt is so gosh-darn classic, this outfit could be styled on most of today's prime-time characters and you wouldn't bat an eyelash. To modernize, keep the hemline under the knee. The pairing is perfect for sitting around the table, but you can also pair the cardi with a white tee and jeans for a coffee run with your favorite cousins. A big part of the GG appeal was the close relationship between mom and daughter, made possible in part by how young Lorelai was. As such, her wardrobe offered up as much inspiration as Rory's, especially now

Guys, I'm obsessed with the Tibi pre-fall 2013 collection. Seriously. The Amy Smilovic-designed collection was inspired by New York and its subway system and has given me four fresh outfit ideas I'm super excited to try. Check 'em out: Tuxedo pants for day. Swap out a blazer for a bright t-shirt and car coat and I've got a look that's great for my casual work environment. Tame fancy pants with a crew neck top. Since there's already enough going on with these printed bottoms, it's best to opt for a black or navy solid color shirt. Dress down a pencil skirt with a sweatshirt. This one is cut from a cool neoprene sort of fabric I can't wait to get my hands on, but in the meantime I'll use regular terry cloth one. It's all about the contrast between the two pieces. Swap out my go-to black suit for a vibrant blue version. I'll look equally as put together, but with a fashionable edge. What do you think of these outfit ideas? Will you give any of them a try?

The perfect pair of pants for work can be difficult to find. You want something flattering, professional-looking, and oh yeah, comfortable. While finding the "trouser trifecta" may seem daunting, we're here to prove that there are indeed lots of chic options to suit a plethora of body types. From cropped slacks that make you look taller to palazzos that are perfect for women with curves, one (or more!) of these new pants silhouettes are guaranteed to make your work wardrobe sing. Cuffed Trousers: Why they're flattering: The leg-lengthening crease adds height. Team up with a matching blazer on top, for an effortless yet totally put-together office look. The Wide-Leg Cropped Pants: Why they're flattering: The movement of the wide leg offers an easy, skirtlike silhouette (great if you've got curves!), and the tailored crop gives them a hint of youthful charm. Sailor Pants: Why they're flattering: Sailor pants have a slightly higher rise than traditional trousers, which elongates your legs and accentuates your waist. From there, the button-front style adds just the right amount of detail that will take you from the office, with a blouse, to a more casual event, with a simple cotton T-shirt. Cropped Flares: Why they're
Donatella Versace is no stranger to look-at-me clothes, but the designer took her sexed-up style to a whole new level in kicking off Paris Couture on Sunday night with the Atelier Versace show. Models Joan Smalls, Mariacarla Boscono, and Natasha Poly stepped out on to the runway in dresses so daring and fierce—and bare!— evening looks. Versace twisted and slashed the most delicate silk fabric, piecing the strips together with crystal-studded ropes, giving notions of a very chic shipwrecked woman. And while you know full on that Versace is known for its figure-celebrating, skin-centric dresses (especially when it comes to couture), it's worth looking at these pieces from an artisan's standpoint. While they may look effortless, these dresses are anything but. The patterns, the details, the balance, is all part and parcel of the rarefied world of couture, where each handmade look can fetch well into the six digits. Are we asking you to buy these? Of course not (but for those of you who won Powerball, go ahead and think about it, OK?), but pay heed to the craftsmanship that we only get to see twice a year at the couture shows. The January shows are especially interesting, as

When it comes to rocking thigh-high boots, a major shoe trend for fall, there's a thin line between tasteful and trashy styling. Look to these gals for styling tips that will ensure you land squarely on the right side of things. This woman styled her leather boots in a cool business-casual way, with a long, belted vest layered over a print skirt. Ideal for more relaxed work environments. Gisele dialed down the sexy factor of her Stuart Weitzman Lowland boots by pairing them with skinny blue jeans, a slouchy sweater, and a leather jacket. No doubt she was the most stylish mom in the park that day. Miroslava Duma looked positively ladylike in her thigh-high black boots. Note that aside from a sliver of skin showing between the hem of a her skirt and the top of the boots, she's totally covered in a turtleneck and duster sweater. Ready to try thigh-high boots? Tell us how you'll style them!
Talk about new bohemia: The fall runways were filled with folksy, fairy-tale looks (Valentino, Alexander McQueen) and lean '70s silhouettes (Louis Vuitton, Emilio Pucci). Super flattering and super feminine, sure, but how do you wear those ideas without looking like you crawled out of the musical Hair? Or worse, like you just got back from Bonnaroo? The secret, it seems, is to mix just one or two boho pieces with the tailored, modern pieces you already own. Here, three chic ladies (as seen on the streets of London Fashion Week!) show us how to it's done. 1. The Embroidered Top Your favorite summer peasant top can make the transition to fall just fine—if you keep the rest of your outfit autumnal. Follow this gal's lead and wear yours with separates in rich hues and heavier weights; her eggplant-color leather skirt and forest green cableknit sweater ground the bright flowers on her cotton shirt perfectly. The Fringed Kimono That floaty robe you wore with cutoffs and a tank top in July doesn't have to be stored just yet—it looks equally chic with skinny jeans too. Wear it as a jacket on sunny September days over a neutral-color knit top. Just be

Lena Dunham looked tres adorable when she showed up at Howard Stern's big live-on-the-radio birthday party Friday night. And of course it turns out that one of my favorite celebrity makeup artists, Nick Barose, did Lena's makeup for the event. One intriguing trick he used: You can "cheat" with your eyeliner by drawing it slightly above the lash line to make the eye seem bigger; the effect also mimics the cool graphic eyeliner we've seen on the runway, where it literally sits in the crease of the eye. Nick also winged Lena's black liquid liner out just enough to look dramatic but not retro. He swirled Surratt beauty Artistique Blush in Guimuave onto the apples of Lena's cheeks, then blended around the edges. "It's a bright pink with sheer texture and soft silky sheen that adds a pop of color," he says. Sticking with the girly-pink theme, he paired the blush with a laid-back bright-pink lip stain: Tarte LipSurgence Matte Lip Stain in Lively. "To balance out the pink, I contrasted it with darker brows by filling them in and drawing a bigger and fuller shape with Ramy Perfect Brows Wand," Nick says. Loving Lena's sexy hair texture too?

If you need evidence that spring pastels can do wonders for a winter wardrobe, look no further than Lupita Nyong'o: The Oscar-winning actress recently stepped out in New York City, where she's currently starring in the play Eclipsed on Broadway, sporting a lime-green sweater, flouncy gray skirt, matching charcoal topper, and robin's-egg blue satchel bag (she deftly finished the look with sheer black tights and suede heels). We're feeling the mix-and-match play of color and texture in Lupita's outfit and still marveling at her ability to nail even the trickiest cold weather trends. Her previous street-style wins in New York City have included a pale blue tweed coat-dress, all-white skirt suit and pinstripe onesie (each getup worn more effortlessly than the next). In recent weeks, she's also stepped out in the ever on-trend checkered jacket and a double-breasted trench, virtually solidifying her spot on our mental best-in-coat list. It's been a big year for the style maven beyond her stint on Broadway: Her next major feature film Star Wars: The Force Awakens hits theaters nationwide on Dec. 18.

Inspired by cities across the globe, Maison Francis Kurkdjian crafts the 724 eau de parfum travel set to showcase the fresh and comfortably addictive aroma of its signature scent. By blending Italian bergamot with white flower accord over the top of sensual musk, this fragrance creates an aromatic floral scent, reminiscent of the feeling of watching the sun rise over the top of high-rise urban buildings. To top it off, the five miniatures are accompanied by the Globe Trotter spray case to take wherever you go.
So London Fashion Week ends today, and NYFW is practically a snow-filled dream at this point—plus, there's still Milan and Paris to go. And who's sitting front row at the hottest shows in all four cities? World traveler, blogger, and street-style favorite Miroslava Duma. While fairly fresh on the scene, the Moscow-based It Girl quickly shot to the top of everyone's best-dressed lists, including quite a few of ours, and man, does she know how to layer. So in honor of Fashion Month, Miroslava Duma is our Glamour Style Icon of the Week and let's celebrate with her best FROW looks. Miroslava seriously has the best coats and hats. At fall 2012 Paris Fashion Week, she wore a color-blocked coat over a purple dress and Azzedine Alaï lug-sole platforms. I also love how she's not afraid to play with an entire outfit full of prints—Chloé, if you're wondering— and make it look modern and streamlined. (Fendi shoes and a Iosselliani statement necklace help the look too.) Miroslava also got a jump on the beanie back in March 2012. In New York for the fall 2013 shows, Miroslava went menswear-inspired by mixing houndstooth with natty checks outside of Calvin Klein. And
