Ladylike looks might be the big Spring trend, but when the thought of pulling on a pencil skirt seems unbearable, flip the switch and opt for a more masculine feel. These days, menswear-inspired pieces, like blazers and trousers, have become a closet staple and we're looking for new ways to emote the trend for the new season. Try out a pair of candy colored oxfords for a new twist, or take a risk in a tuxedo jumpsuit. Need a visual? We created five new masculine-tinged outfits for you to test out, starting with this sleek take on a tuxedo dress. Just click the slideshow to see all the outfits and why we love them.

Last night's finale of Project Runway All Stars crowned talented and quirky designer Mondo Guerra as the winner of the show. The designer showed a six-piece collection, wowing the judges with his workmanship, knack for color, and mixing fabrics. So just what does Mondo have in store next? "I plan to stay in Denver as long as I can and do my own collection," Mondo told WWD. "I want it to be all about me just like [John] Galliano is all about Galliano. I was compared to him in season eight. Don't you remember? Michael Kors said so. I know it's a reality show, but I feel I have the chops to do it." As the winner, Mondo's prize includes a spread in Marie Claire magazine, a cash prize of $100,000 from L'Oréal Paris, and space to sell his fashion at Neiman Marcus stores across the US. Congratulations to Mondo for a well-deserved win! Click through the slideshow to see all of Mondo's amazing looks throughout the whole season, and tell us what you think in the comments section.

Music festival season is upon us, and with Coachella just a few weeks away, we're showing you the pieces you need to stand out from the crowd. If you've ever wanted to try out crop tops, headbands, cut-offs, and fringe (and maybe all at once), this is your time. These festivals are just as much as about the fashion as it is about the talent on stage, so we challenge you to take it a step further for your next outing. Instead of the usual pair of blue cut-offs, try a dramatic black pair, or opt for a pretty printed romper. For accessories, we love the idea of stomping around the fairground in red suede boots, decking out your arms in wrap bracelets, and trying out bohemian headgear. Get in on the action now and shop 20 standout pieces to get you festival ready — all under $100.

After much anticipation, Adidas has just revealed its 2012 Olympic uniforms for Britain designed by Stella McCartney. The uniforms, which took two years to create, highlight a modern take on Great Britain's Union Jack flag. “The first place to start on a project like this is to look at the Union flag," said McCartney. "For me it’s one of the most beautiful flags in the world and it was important for me to stay true to that iconic design but also to modernise it and present it in a contemporary way." The designer injected her own fashion-forward spin on it via clean lines and and a less literal take on the flag. "Something that was very important to me was to try and use that very iconic image but to dismantle it and try to soften it, break it down and make it more fashionable in a sense," said McCartney. While the designer has already taken some criticism for not showing enough patriotism in the design, we like it. Take a look at the uniforms in the slideshow and tell us what you think in the comments section below.

Blake Mycoskie and Lauren Bush are teaming up for the ultimate do-good, feel-good fashion collab with a TOMS + FEED limited edition shoe collection, launching exclusively online on April 1. The shoes cost $58 and feature TOMS' signature shoe silhouette and FEED's iconic stamp and burlap fabric. “Blake and I have a great friendship and our respective organizations have a lot in common, living in the space of for-profit social businesses," said Lauren Bush. "Blake has always been an active supporter of FEED, as I am of TOMS, so we’ve talked about collaborating for a while. I'm thrilled that we were finally able to make it happen and bring more awareness to each of our causes, more credibility to socially-aware enterprises and more assistance to people globally.” Each purchase provides 12 school meals and one pair of new shoes will be given to a child in need. In fact, we can't think of a better way to support the cause — and look cute while doing so. Check out the slideshow to see the collection and make note to shop a pair at TOMS.com on April 1 before they sell out.

Ladylike skirts are blooming up everywhere this season, thanks to designers like Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, and Derek Lam. And now that Spring has sprung, we've been spotting celebrities translating the trend into their stylish ensembles. Michelle Williams was spotted in a chic Jason Wu leather pencil skirt and striped top, while FLOTUS Michelle Obama opted to pair a J.Crew mint green skirt with a gold Michael Kors sweater and heels. If pencil skirts are too fitted for your taste, try out fuller knee-length silhouettes or skirts with pretty pleat details. The key is to not go too short or skimpy. Want to find your perfect ladylike skirt? Just shop our top 15 picks in the slideshow now.

Today marks the first official day of Spring and we're toasting the occasion with one of our favorite trends: colorblock. Seen on the Spring runways of Marc by Marc Jacobs, BCBG Max Azria, and Sophie Theallet, colorblocked looks can range from bright contrasting colors combinations to more neutral pairings. Not only does colorblock add graphic interest to any look, it's also really flattering on the body, instantly slimming you in just the right places. We love the idea of donning a colorblock shirtdress for a refreshing take on office chic, and pairing an asymmetric rendition with colored trousers for a fun evening look. Just shop our top 15 picks under $200 to kick off Spring, and your wardrobe, right.

Olivia Palermo has gone a long way from her days starring in The City. Within just a few years, the self-made fashion It girl has been snapped literally everywhere, for her inspirational fashion sense, designed shoes for Stuart Weitzman, and most recently, has started her own style blog. Olivia is now taking her style prowess overseas with a front-page cover and editorial for the April issue of Elle Ukraine. As expected, Olivia looks nothing short of perfection on the cover wearing a bold look comprised of a silk jeweled coat and statement earrings. For her editorial spread, stylist Natalia Osadchaya dressed Olivia in a range of ladylike looks from Lanvin, Mango, and Azzedine Alaïa, to name a few, as she posed pretty in a hotel room backdrop. Take a look at the rest of Olivia Palermo's debut in Elle Ukraine, then tell us what you think in the comments section below.

We've always been fans of Coach's iconic Heritage bags, so you can imagine our excitement when we laid eyes on its new Legacy collection at a preview yesterday. The line features the classic satchel, saddle, and tote shapes we know and love, but this time, they're injected with modern twist thanks to bright color combos and chic details like oversize tassels. The Coach Legacy collection also features a covetable array of shoes, clothing, tech accessories — think sleek iPad and phone cases — wallets, and mini camera bags perfect for toting around to your next Summer music festival. Prices are a little more than what you expect from the brand, with smaller bags retailing from $178 to over $1,000, for ones featuring more exotic textiles, but once you take a close look at the supple leather and fine details you'll know why. The Coach Legacy collection, which also includes a men's collection (we spied a couple of backpacks we'd love to "borrow" from the boys), will launch in stores and online on Aug. 12. For now, get a sneak peek of the collection in the slideshow.

There are two types of people in the world: the ones that live in the moment and the ones that plan ahead. If you fall in the latter part of that statement, you'll be happy to hear that Moda Operandi is doing something pretty amazing right now. The luxury fashion site is hosting a bevy of Fall 2012 trunk shows (only for a limited time) and right now, they're hosting one of our favorite brands, Elizabeth and James. Compared to Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's pricier The Row line, Elizabeth and James offers a more affordable collection to satiate your cool-girl hunger. In fact, one of their biggest celebrity fans is Dakota Fanning. The actress has been spotted sporting Elizabeth and James on the streets and in front of the camera, so you can imagine her excitement when she laid eyes on the brand's latest Fall line. Dakota recently took time out to share her favorite pieces from Elizabeth and James's Fall 2012 collection and why she loves it. Want to see her top picks from the collection?
