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?

Hot or Not: Anya Hindmarch “Ebury” Sticker Tote

It looks like personalized designer handbags will be stealing the spotlight in the next seasons. We have seen celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Kelly Osbourne go to great lengths to customize their luxurious purses, and now designers are taking this trend to mainstream consumers.

Anya Hindmarch displayed her quirky sense of style with a round of fun handbags that feature stickered-up leather, inspired by the designer's schoolgirl version of personalization. The bags showcase embossed sticker prints with a very cool, post-modernist vibe.

If you want to get your hands on these gorgeous purses, you will have to wait until next year. Unfortunately, the pre-ordering period has ended, and we can imagine that the waiting list is pretty long.

Anya Hindmarch Maxi Stickered-Up Featherweight "Ebury," Circus Leather in Chalk, 1,995

Anya Hindmarch Stickered-Up Maxi Zip Satchel, 1,295

Anya Hindmarch Stickered-Up "Georgina" Bag, 795

The brand will also be selling stickers separately, which can be used on any plain tote. These leather stickers are permanent adhesives, meaning they can't be removed once placed. Currently, there are only three styles, but there will be more stickers available once the whole collection is officially released.

If you just can't wait, then start "stickering up" using the "Ebury" bag below.

Anya Hindmarch "Ebury" Textured Leather Tote, $1,550

Anya Hindmarch Textured Leather Adhesive Stickers, $87.95 each

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?

Meet the Top 10 Bloggers of September 2014

September is officially over and so is summer. But if the weather in your city is still a little confusing, then here are some great outfit ideas to consider courtesy of the 10 stylish bloggers we've handpicked for the month of September. Whether the weather in your corner is still warm and sunny or already getting brisk and windy, these outfits will no doubt inspire you to dress up, and of course, accessorize.

It's no secret that accessories, be it a handbag or a pair of shoes, can make or break an outfit. We're happy to say that the bloggers you'll meet today made the cut not only because of their standout looks, but because of the way they hit the right notes using well-appointed extras.

1. Mirella Szymoniak from Poland

If you need to start layering but still dream of summer, try this look from photographer and fashion blogger, Mirella of Fog Dancing. It's easy to replicate and easy to pull off. Pick a coat in light powder blue and wear it with an all white outfit. This way, you get to wear a lil' bit of summer's pastel hues as you keep yourself warm for fall. Cap off the attire with a black-and-white clutch and you have a winning combination.

2. Juliette from United Kingdom

Sometimes, less is definitely more. Take for example this all-black attire from Juliette of L'amour de Juliette. The trick to looking fabulous in such a minimalist getup is in the extras. In this case, a simple but oh-so luxurious chain-strap quilted bag from Chanel, as well as gold strappy flat sandals were used to add glamour to her colorless ensemble. The result - a look that's understated but classy.

Also below is another minimalist look from Juliette. Here, she keeps her outfit simple, but goes for standout extras such as gold jewelry and a fringed hobo bag from Gucci.

3. Ana from Spain

Look chic in fall's warm and earthy hues by mixing them with bold prints, such as this pairing put together by Ana of Ma Petite by Ana. Mix an army green button down with blue skinny jeans, then cap off the combo with a leopard print purse and a hat. Add a pair of dark peepers for a dose of drama.

4. Adriana Kubieniec from Poland

Get playful with colors and textures this fall by channeling this look from Adriana of Lovely Imperfect. The fashion designer, makeup artist, and stylist attended New York Fashion Week recently, and this well-concocted ensemble, which she wore on Day 2, is a favorite of ours. Again, it's all because of well-appointed add-ons. Here, she uses colorblock heels, a bright yellow purse, some cool eyewear, and a textured topper to dress up her look.

5. Jessica Sheppard from United Kingdom

Not quite sure when to use that furry handbag? How about now?

Channel fashion design student and blogger, Jessica of Copper Garden, and use your fluffy purse with a thick coat, a short skirt, and some ankle boots. Punctuate with a floppy haat and you're all set. If you want to keep things extra warm, slip into a pair of thermal tights and you're done.

6. Kseniya Vostrikovan from Russia

Yes, fanny packs can be fashionable. Just check out the uber chic way Kseniya of Long Story Shirt styled her belt bag. Use the purse with a chunky sweater and a midi skirt, then cap off with sunnies and high heels. Are you game?

7. Denisia from United Kingdom

Running out of ideas on how to style a simple sweater? Easy. Just mix it with a brightly patterned handbag and you're all set. That's a cue we're taking from Denisia of Polishing Colors. Here, the stylish blogger pairs her textured colorless sweater with a patterned foldover tote to keep things interesting.

8. Yulia Sidorenko from Ukraine

So it's still warm and sunny outside. Lucky you.

Then continue on with your summer style by playing with textures a la fashion blogger, Yulia Sidorenko. She kept things casual but chic by mixing her ruffled dress with a plaid shirt, some leather slides, and a fringed purse. Pretty cool combi, right?

Visit Yulia's blog for more laid-back chic looks like this one.

9. Christina Oh from USA

Here's a really fancy combination using black, white, and red - courtesy of Christina Oh of Christina's Style. The pop of red from her stunning Alexander McQueen clutch really brightened up her otherwise monochromatic outfit. If you want to spice up a black-and-white outfit, then look no further. Will you take a cue and copy the mix?

10. Estera Morawska Kaminska from Poland

Here's an easy way to dress up your white shirt and ripped boyfriend jeans - punctuate the mix with standout extras - such as a bold animal print box clutch, red studded stilettos, matching lip collor, and a red blazer. This is a tip we're taking from fashion blogger, Estera of Estelle Fashion. Will you channel her style?
