FIDM Grad and Juicy Couture co-founder Pamela Skaist-Levy and partner Gela Nash-Taylor have departed from the label in search of new adventures (I hear a book may be in the works), but they've left it in the capable hands of designer Erin Fetherston. For her debut collection, Fetherston did an 11-piece lineup for the holiday season, including dresses in Juicy's signature velour and '30s-inspired jewelry. --Angel

Hot Summer Hair Trend: Braids
It's always so tempting to throw our hair up into a ponytail when we go out during the warm summer months, and, done right, a pony can look deeply glamorous (see for yourself here). But for a special occasion, braided styles are the go-to 'do of the season. Try one of these alluring styles next time you get dressed up. --Angel
Double French Braid
This style combines the classic beauty of a chignon with the playful flirtiness of braids. The result is unexpected and enchanting.
Get the Look: Part hair down the middle and French braid each side going back. Secure the braids with an elastic, then twist up to form a chignon at the nape of the neck.
Side Braid
This is a great way to show off your long locks, without having them on your neck during the hot, sticky months. Oh, and you'll love this -- you won't have to bother with the arsenal of anti-frizz products.
Get the Look: Sweep hair over to one side, then braid (not a French braid) and secure with an elastic. Pull out a few pieces in the front to frame your face.
Braided Ponytail
This is how you turn a simple pony into a posh hairstyle. If you're lacking the length to get the look, you can braid in extensions.
Get the Look: Brush hair back into a high ponytail and braid all the way down, securing the end with an elastic. Leave the braid in for a few hours, then undo the braid about 3/4 of the way up and secure with an elastic.
Hairline Braid
A single braid along the hairline infuses a sophisticated updo with a dash of sweetness. A sensational hair accessory on the unbraided side will put this look over the top.
Get the Look: Part hair on one side, then French braid the parted side back. Pull hair into an elastic and twist into a low chignon, securing with bobby pins.

Red Carpet Inspiration: Espy Awards
I wouldn't normally look to an award show for athletes for fashion ideas, but I have to say, the attendees of ESPN's Espy Awards looked quite lovely in slinky dresses and sensational heels. Inspiration for Homecoming perhaps? (It'll be here before you know it!) See for yourself. --Angel

Style Star: Marion Cotillard
I am positively enchanted by actress Marion Cotillard for so many reasons, but namely these two: 1) she's French, and that is somehow synonymous with being ultra chic, and 2) she starred opposite the crazy-hot Johnny Depp in Public Enemies. Most recently she starred in Inception with Leo DiCaprio and has been looking absolutely stunning at the film's premieres. --Angel

Good news for the jeans-and-tee girl: we've found some dresses (denim dresses!) that feel casual but look quite fancy. They're ideal for a date, summer wedding, or a semi-formal party. --Angel

Giorgio Armani Prive Couture Fall 2010
We were so impressed by this house's prim day dresses and ultra-feminine suits in rich shades of cappucinno and cocoa, but it was the evening gowns -- ranging from unfussy and utterly beautiful to glitzy and glamorous-- that took our breath away. --Angel
