Sorry Kardashians, the Beckerman sisters are the hottest new it-sibs, and they’ve got an edgy indie style to prove it. They’ve risen to fame thanks to their daily style blog, Beckerman Bite Plate, and have collabed with brands like Nine West, H&M, and Uniqlo. In one of the site’s latest updates, Caillieanne Beckerman looked country-cute, twisting her hair into a lovely milkmaid braid. Don’t get distracted by this style’s name- this braided hairstyle isn’t just for farm girls. In fact, it’s been seen on some of our favorite, glamorous celebrities, from Elle Fanning to Drew Barrymore, Zoe Saldana to Mary-Kate Olsen, Nicole Richie to Lauren Conrad… the list just goes on and on.
Amber.Stardoll- The entire summer we have nagged about how important it is to dare to wear some color. Well, if there's one color that screams summer it's defintely yellow! A yellow accessory is super hot but what's even hotter this summer is a yellow dress! Yellow expresses optimism, joy, and high intelligence! So why wouldn't you want to wear yellow all the time?
You might think yellow is a hard color to pull off but actually it's not that much harder than any other color. It goes with any hair color and with some sun kissed skin, like Amanda Bynes, you'll shine like the sun. And if you haven't been doing any tanning previously, no needs to worry! Just look how beautiful pale Kirsten Dunst is in yellow!So come on guys, get out there on rock yellow this summer!

Some of you may have experienced New York Fashion Week from the comfort of your couch or perhaps snagged a chance to help backstage, but you will never experience the fashion world’s most celebrated weeks of the year like this. The New York Fashion Week documentary, ‘The Tents,’ provides a full 360-view of the glamorous and not-so glamorous the fashion industry can be. While the documentary covers the creation of Fashion Week by the CFDA back in 1993, to the new IMG ownership, and to present day, it also reveals behind-the-scenes footage from fashion pioneers, designers, and prominent figures in the fashion industry—not to mention, hilarious commentary from fashion stylist and personality Robert Verdi, to the queen of simplicity and comfort, American designer Donna Karan.

- We spotted both Brittany Snow and Jamie Chung in this sexy orange Ani Lee dress! We love the bright orange color on both celebs and think it's the perfect dress, it just screams "summer!"
Jamie wore her dress with nude heels, gold Chanel earrings, a gold watch, and black bag. We think her tan looks amazing against the orange!
Brittany kept her pale locks free and wore a bunch of turquoise and gold jewelry and champagne peep-toe heels. We wish she would've pulled her hair into a ponytail, it would've created a very polished look.
Who do you think wore this look best? Brittany or Jamie?

Armani’s given us the first look at fall’s Giorgio campaign. It stars a pretty elegant looking Sasha Pivovarova in a mauve fur with an orange python bag. Mert and Marcus also shot Diego Fragoso, the Brazilian model who just covered the spring/summer edition of Hercules and walked everything from Mugler to Louis Vuitton during men’s fashion week.

Now that nearly everyone in fashion is on Twitter, Tumblr or some other online-meets-social media outlet, it’s become quite hard to keep a secret. Last night, stylist Tabitha Simmons let spill that Marchesa would be staging a proper show this season. She tweeted, “Now going to see the Marchesa collection! Can’t wait as they are having a show this season. I will keep you posted.” Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig have been staging simple, elegant presentations in the Chelsea Arts Museum for years. Models usually stand still in Marchesa’s ornate dresses and sky high heels built in collaboration with Christian Louboutin, often on top of pedestals or boxes. Though anyone who’s watched a red carpet on TV has seen a Marchesa dress in motion, watching them move down a runway, on professional models, will be a totally new experience. If this is the kind of news coming out of fall fashion week, it will be slightly easier to bid summer farewell.

Who: Emma Stone
What: Crazy, Stupid, Love premiere at New York City’s Ziegfeld Theater on July 19
Wear: Tom Ford black lace dress, gunmetal Christian Louboutin pumps, Fred Leighton earrings and ring, Salvatore Ferragmo clutch (not pictured)
Emma Stone stepped out in style for the star-studded premiere of her latest film, Crazy, Stupid, Love at Ziegfeld Theater in New York City last night. The actress (and ELLE’s July cover girl), whose career has been on fire with movies like Easy A, wore a retro-looking black lace dress from Tom Ford’s fall 2011 collection. Her modified version of the elegant frock transformed it perfectly for the red carpet and easily made others forget her young age. Stone opted for clean accessories, wearing simple Christian Louboutin gray and black pumps with chandelier earrings and a three diamond square ring. Her sideswept hair and rouge lipstick shade polished off her classic ensemble.
