Mixing edgier pieces with pretty, girly dresses is nothing new, but lately we've been completely smitten with the look of fluffy, tulle frocks paired with booties. Here's what we're talking about. --Angel
For a pale or nude colored dress, wear black tights and black ankle booties for a dramatic contrast.
If you're rocking a black dress, a colorful or animal print bootie is a bold choice (but one you won't regret).
When several of Hollywood's most stylish actresses star in one movie, we already know the red carpet looks for the premiere will be insanely fabulous. No surprise we fell in love with the dresses we saw on the stars of Our Idiot Brother at the film's premiere. --Angel
The always-fetching Zooey Deschanel was beautiful in black and white ruffles from Moschino.
Elizabeth Banks paired a sweet and chic black and pink Prada frock with a clutch by the label and shiny Veronica Lake waves.
Rashida Jones was right on trend in a colorblocked Stella McCartney and bold pink lips.
Olivia Munn didn't star in the film, but we had to feature that gorgeous Carolina Herrera cocktail dress.
The VH1 Do Something Awards were Sunday evening and, as always, our eyes were on the fashion. Here are a few looks we couldn't help but notice. --Angel
Glee actress and host for the evening Jane Lynch was a vision in a flowy Alexander McQueen gown.

Even though our readers are still enjoying these last few weeks of summer vacation, we're in high gear prepping for Homecoming 2011 (hey, we're Prom Advice--we live for this stuff!). As we scoured through images of Fall 2011 runway shows, we couldn't help but spot several trends that could inspire your look for the big night. --Angel
Champagne Tones w/ Black Accents
Monique Lhuillier Fall 2011
Alone these two colors are beautiful but paired together the combo is stunning perfection. We were especially smitten with this look from FIDM Grad Monique Lhuillier because it's so over-the-top girly.
Fur
Christian Dior Fall 2011
Faux or real, fur was a huge trend on the Fall 2011 runways. It's luxurious and decadent (shamelessly so) and instantly adds a dose of glamour to any look.
One-Shoulder Silhouettes
Elie Saab Fall 2011
We're still in love with this trend and fortunately for us, it remains a must-have look this fall. A long sleeve updates the look.
Orange
Lanvin Fall 2011
Bright, punchy, and dare we say, summery even, shades of orange were popping up all over the Fall 2011 runways. It's the color that says, "Hey, people. I'm the life of the party!"
Feathery Frocks
Jason Wu Fall 2011
Fun and flirty and dramatic--what more could you possibly want in a Homecoming dress? Designers favored feathers for fall either in short, voluminous frocks or full, ballooning ball gowns. Which will you choose?
Separates
Louis Vuitton Fall 2011
The Fall 2011 runways were teeming with knockout skirt-and-blouse combos. We love the look of a shiny sequined or jeweled skirt paired with a simpler (but still fantastic) top.
1920s Inspiration
The Row Fall 2011
Dropped waists, fringe, pearls...we are huge fans of 1920s fashion so we're always thrilled when we see runway looks inspired by the decade. This modern version is such a sleek interpretation.
Ruffles & Booties
Rachel Zoe Fall 2011
The juxtaposition of girly ruffles with edgy ankle boots was a hit on runways and is still a hit in real life. We love the flirtiness of tons of ruffles, but even just a few will still look sensational.
Silver
Zac Posen Fall 2011
Equal parts disco era and space age, we consider dazzling, sparkling, light-reflecting silver to be a style staple for your Fall 2011 wardrobe, for Homecoming and otherwise.
Ballerina Inspiration
Alice + Olivia Fall 2011
There's no better time than Homecoming to embrace your feminine side and with fall's ballerina-inspired pieces it's easier than ever to do. Pulling off the look can be tricky (you don't want to look too precious) so keep the skirt at knee or tea length.
Young Hollywood showed up and showed off their glamorous fashion sense at the 2011 Teen Choice Awards last night. We've put together a few (okay, more than a few) of our favorite looks. --Angel
Actress Kaley Cuoco was host for the evening, wearing a floor-grazing Rebecca Taylor dress and beachy waves.
Columbiana star Zoe Saldana was smoking hot in tiered metallic Lanvin and Alexander McQueen heels.
The always stylish Rachel Bilson paired a sweet Chloe frock with super-edgy Brian Atwood studded booties.
Whether or not you're a Bieleber, you've got to admit, Justin's bow tie and flower were cool complements to the edgy leather vest.
Crazy Stupid Love actress Emma Stone sported a colorblock Christian Dior number as she picked up an award for her role in Easy A.
Robert Pattinson accepted his award in Dolce & Gabbana.
Gossip Girl star Blake Lively was stunning in an orange, leather Gucci dress and leopard-print Louboutins.
Pretty Little Liars actress Ashley Benson chose a patterned, black and gold Alice + Olivia frock for the big event.

Lucy Hale of Pretty Little Liars was also there, in a dazzling nude and black mini dress.
Vampire Diaries star Nina Dobrev looked sweet in a gingham D&G dress.
Selena Gomez accepted awards and performed in a champagne-hued mini frock by Erin Fetherston.
Kellan Lutz played it cool, pairing his buttoned sweater and tie with jeans and boots. Guys, take note--this is a great look for Homecoming!
Lutz's Twilight co-star Nikki Reed chose a printed Etro halter for the evening.
Taylor Swift was a winner in white, wearing a retro-inspired Rafael Cennamo halter dress.
The New Girl star Zooey Deschanel was adorable as always in a 50s nude and black Miu Miu frock and scarlet lips.
Joe Jonas rocked a polished-casual look, pairing a Z Zegna jacket and pants with a V-neck tee and sneakers.
For some reason when the temperatures rise, us girls want to throw on a long maxidress (seems kind of backwards, doesn't it?). But there is a right way to wear this trend, specially when you're trying to beat the heat, and these celebs have it nailed. Get inspired. --Angel
We can't really think of a time when the trés jolie Angelina didn't look flawless, but in this coral Elie Saab number at the Sarajevo Film Festival, the actress/humanitarian looks beyond!
Emma Roberts rocked the maxidress trend in a neutral, lace Leyendecker dress for a shopping event.
