Fashion Star: Actress Fan Bingbing's Flawless Style

Celebrity | 16 April 2012

by Tegan Silva

Every once in awhile, a starlet comes onto the scene with a style that deserves an encore.

Allow me to introduce you to Chinese actress Fan Bingbing. She’s on this month’s cover of Vogue China and is already a huge star in her home country. She’s edging her way into American films and has already earned some notability as a style maven on American red carpets and aces it every. Single. Time.

So let’s get to know my new style crush, Fan Bingbing!

Fan Bingbing channeling her masculine and femnine side for Vogue. She looks amazing!

Most people would be overpowered by such a strong look, but Bingbing holds her own and looks so elegant.

From red carpet to the street, Bingbing can do no wrong. Yeah, I want those glasses.

Bingbing is a master of retro hair. Here she is channeling Lucille Ball in Louis Vuitton.

Bits of quirkiness (like this clutch with an attached heart) are what keep me so interested. She really looks like she has fun with her style.

Are you crushing? Check out more of her spread from this month’s issue of Vogue China!

Rawr! As if this year’s looks from clothing company Mink Pink weren’t already saucy enough, the lookbook featuring their global collection is simply FILLED with wild antics and curious kitten situations. The clothes are edgy yet casual, and the backdrop is exactly where you might imagine the best day of your life to take place; hunting through the five and dime, fabric stores and fruit stands.

Trend Alert: Neon Brights!

Fashion | 13 April 2012

Go Bright or Go Home!

I don’t think I’ve worn a single piece of neon anything since the ’80s, and yet a neon pink skirt has already crept into my closet in the anticipation of warmer weather and brighter days to come. It’s not that I feel like I’m being forced into the ebb and flow of this year’s trends, though, something in me is just ready to revisit those fluorescent flourishes of my youth.

If we take a peek at the spring 2011 runways, we’ll see the reemergence of neon throughout the whole of Christopher Kane, and neon yellow popped up in a single item for Lanvin. The rest is history, or should I say, history in the making.

Lanvin had a single piece of neon in their spring 2011 fashion show.

A single neon color-pop is a great way to test the waters.

Haruki Murakami Book Covers vs. Street Fashion

Fashion | 11 April 2012

by Tegan Silva

They say to never judge a book by its cover, but it’s hard not to want to reach for a book with a pretty cover. This is why I’ve found myself reading much of Haruki Murakami’s books. The covers, created by artist John Gall, are inspiring and match up perfectly with the surrealness of each story line, but I never thought the book covers could inspire an outfit!

Fashion blogger Sera Hur paired Murakami covers with a photograph from street style photographer The Sartorialist (a blog you should know about if you don’t already). Each outfit is meant to mirror the colors, tones, and mood of each book. Check them out!
