Meet the Top 10 Jacket Bloggers of October 2014

We can't stop the days from speeding by but we can keep up with the multitude of awesome looks created by stylish bloggers. We're so thankful October has started getting cool because we've spotted quite a number of enviable outerwear! Here are our favorites:

1. Meri Wild from Poland

Meri Wild channelled her inner school girl with this cute, preppy style outfit spiced up by her striped coat. The coat pretty much sealed the deal for us. We'd get our hands on a similar one in a heartbeat given the chance!

2. Kim from Seatlle

Would you wear a floral-printed coat this season? We would if the said coat looks just like Kim's. It's the perfect statement jacket to wear over a black ensemble.

3. Nika from Ukraine

We're currently swooning over Nika's versatile check vest. It just has a lot of possibilities. Wear it over a dress or a sweater and skinny jeans ensemble just like what she did in here.

4. K from Minneapolis

The swoon factor is also present in K's attire. The soon-to-be mom looked perfect in her plaid, belted coat.

5. Iuliana from Romania

It's been a while since we've seen a coat as adorable and quirky as Iuliana's. This is a classic camel coat made more fun with the addition of heart prints. Love!

6. Kayla from Germany

It's not just Kayla's moto jacket we have eyes on. It's her entire outfit! That pair of culottes, those multi-strapped pumps and that crisp white button down shirt together with the leather jacket made up an interesting ensemble.

7. Cristina from Spain

The fringe trend is going strong by the minute and what better way to jump into it than with a cute fringed jacket? Cristina's suede piece sure can keep conversations rolling.

8. Christina from Atlanta

We have mad love for Christina's pastel blue Burberry coat. It just cheers you up instantly! Plus, she also did a great job styling it with that pair of booties and fur Dior bag.

9. Katerina from Russia

To say that Katerina looked amazing in her blue dress coat is an understatement. She looked like a star in a Wes Anderson film with that lovely classic coat and wide-brimmed hat on.

10. Alison from Canada

We're having a serious case of coat envy here. Alison's outerwear boasts of large buttons at the front and a two-tone design that mingled both modern and classic.

These outfits should keep your creativity replenished for as long as the cold season persists. Which one is your favorite?

Meet the Top 10 Skirt Bloggers of September 2014

Can you believe it's October already? Time sure flies! The only thing that makes us happy to say goodbye to summer is the promise of fall and cozying up in cute plaid skirts and fluffy knitted sweaters.

Before we get carried away by the impending fall vibes, let us first show you the skirt outfits that made our hearts leap last month:

1. Elizabeth from United States

Tired of the all-white or all-black trend? Why not go all-lilac just like what Elizabeth has successfully done in this outfit? This is such a whimsical skirt but the sporty top gave the ensemble a more interesting flair.

2. Kiara from California

Now this is a skirt you'd love to have in your closet. The origami-style pleated skirts are very trendy these days but the A-line shape and the checkered print of Kiara's skirt make this a seasonless piece you'd find yourself wearing over and over again.

3. Iida from United Kingdom

Don't you think Iida's H&M skirt is so versatile? It can go from day to night with just a few tweaks in styling!

4. Luba from Spain

Here's how you can pull off an animal-print skirt: wear it with a t-shirt and cap off the look with a leather jacket. Luba's styling is flawless!

5. Manuella from Bucuresti

How adorable is Manuella's flared skirt? That ribbon detail at the waist had us swooning!

6. Chantal from New York

Who said you should say goodbye to your cheerful colored clothes this season? Follow Chantal's footsteps and don a matching lace top and skirt in a cheerful yellow color and wear a coat to give it an autumn vibe.

7. Laurielle from France

We're so smitten with Laurielle's entire outfit! That gingham skirt is a nice piece to pay homage to the remnants of summer. She looks like she could be shooting a summer lookbook!

8. Emily from California

Time to bring out your plaid skirts ladies! Do what Emily did and wear it with your comfiest sweater. Now finish off the school girl look with a satchel bag and a pair of ankle-strap pumps.

9. Sam from Netherlands

Sam sure knows how to dress up in those days teetering between summer and fall. The matching striped sweater and skirt is decidedly summery while the overcoat is a great piece to kick-start this new season.

10. Yvonne from United States

Colorblocking has pretty much become a classic styling trick. Try something like what Yvonne did here - that aquamarine pencil skirt and green top reminded us of vacations in a beach during a sunny summer day.

That wraps up our September. What did you think of our picks?

We love how Taylor chose to wear this floral number with a pair of green pumps and a green bag to provide contrast to her adorable day dress.

Works of Art: 8 of This Season’s Most Amazing Printed Skirts

Let's steer clear from the ubiquitous tartan print for a moment because we discovered several prints on skirts that totally blew us away with their sheer beauty. We're talking about landscapes and abstract art on skirts! Wouldn't you just love to get your hands on these?

1. Mary Katrantzou Printed Skirt, $1,230.54

This is so beautiful that we literally just stared at it for minutes and reveled in the nostalgic and serene emotions that welled up inside us. The multitude of flowering trees stretched over what looks like a stream on the border of a sea - much like what our kind of vacation getaway would look like.

2. Tibi Eiffel Tower Skirt, $245

Take the Eiffel Tower (and the best spots of Paris) with you with this Tibi creation. We think this will make a great mood board or collage inspiration just in case you are eyeing Paris as your next travel destination!

3. Peter Pilotto City-Print Skirt, $1,060

This skirt reminds us of New York on a spring day with its architectural detail and flower print. It's just the thing you need to shoo your winter malaise away.

4. Carven Jungle-Printed Silk-Blend Miniskirt, $493

What would your friends say if you tell them you have a tropical paradise in your wardrobe? Carven did an amazing job with this surreal printed skirt that takes us to the jungle.

5. Dolce & Gabbana Pleated Floral Skirt, $925

We can all use a bit of perking up in the midst of this crazy polar vortex. So, here's a skirt that will make you long for sunny skies and cherry blossoms.

6. Peter Pilotto Anna Hammered Silk Skirt, $2,479.50

Peter Pilotto is a master of print mixing! Wearing this skirt is like bringing a garden with you. The orchid appliqu s at the bottom scream spring!

7. Clover Canyon Cuban Cigars Miniskirt, $198

Get this retro-inspired miniskirt from Clover Canyon, and feel like a '60s mod pro in it. The stamp print works so well with the blue and white checkers.

8. Marni Printed Skirt, $642.40

Fan of the winter season? Try this skirt. Its dark and moody print is reminiscent of this frigid season.

Which print do you find the most beautiful? Would you wear landscape-printed skirts?

Jennifer Lawrence Does Dior Proud in a Guipure Crop Top

Jennifer Lawrence has had her share of red carpet hits and misses since stepping out into the spotlight around three years ago, with the fashion police going easy on then-19-year-old up-and-coming actress since she was only starting to make a name for herself. At 19, the actress was cast alongside big names such as Halle Berry and Hugh Jackman for the X-Men series, but failed to get international recognition since her character Mystique required that she become unrecognizable onscreen. It wasn't until The Hunger Games was released in 2012 that Jennifer was catapulted straight into the Hollywood spotlight and into the not-so-loving arms of tough fashion critics.

In November of 2012, Jennifer hired the much-coveted stylist to the A-list celebrities, Rachel Zoe, who produced her first big moment on the red carpet at the 2013 Oscars. We're not sure if it was the gorgeous voluminous Dior Couture gown that Rachel Zoe dressed her in (or the fact that she tripped on her way up to the stage to claim her award) that blew up her red carpet moment to epic proportions, but one thing is for sure - Jennifer is no longer letting her style guard down. The actress arrived at the Paris Fashion Week for the Christian Dior show clad in none other than Dior from their Resort 2014 collection.

Jennifer Lawrence arriving at the Christian Dior show at the Paris Fashion Week Men's Spring/Summer 2014 - 1 July 2013

Jennifer picked out a guipure lace cropped top and matching wool pants ensemble for the show. The beautiful guipure lace top is echoed in the pants by running a lace strip down one leg of the wide-legged pair. Guipure has been a favorite of designers for the last few seasons because it lacks the mesh that usually acts as the foundation for the lace, making the patterns stand out on their own even more. This type of lace has been made even more famous when Victoria's Secret models Miranda Kerr and Candice Swanepoel donned gorgeous guipure dresses from the Australian brand Lover.

Christian Dior Look N 19 from the Resort 2014 collection - Printed pastel metallic guipure top

The beautiful crop top is not available to the general fashion public just yet, so we picked out three guipure tops that will catapult your closet into chic-whimsical fame.

Oscar de la Renta Camilia Guipure Lace Tank, $337.00 (before: $750)

Valentino Ivory Guipure-Lace Top, 1 025,00

Warehouse Guipure Lace Shell, 32.00
