Want a stylish alternative to fall’s platform pumps? Give your feet a rest in a pair of these Steve Madden oxfords. They look really cool with ankle length pants or boyfriend fit cargos.

More Steve Madden…

Actress Jessica Alba visited SIRIUS XM Studio the other day in this stylish and comfy outfit which consisted of a single breasted leather blazer, sheer tank, pleated pants, and white double-strapped pumps accessorized with an oversize silver pendant necklace. What’s great about a look like this is some pieces may already be in your closet and it works no matter your size.

If you have thicker thighs or hips, replace the pleated pants for flat front ones to avoid further emphasizing your shape.

Cute!

If you laid eyes on the super sold out Alexander Wang Cher Large Siamese Clutch in Leopard pictured above on one lucky chica whose photo was snapped by Style.com, you’d be obsessed with leopard print bags, too! If you’re like me, see below for options at various price ranges.

More Dolce & Gabbana…

I’m contemplating a mad dash to locate this hard-to-find bag. Ever do something crazy for a bag or similar item in scarce supply? Spill it in the comments.

The Style and Beauty Doctor reader Skylar recently wrote in asking, “Danielle, this year I’m going into the fifth grade and I want to have the kinda preppy punk style. I’m getting read highlights. I wanted to know if you have any clothing advice for me.”

First, I think it’s sooo cool a ten year old has a sense of style already! When I was ten—well, you don’t even want to know…lol.

Skylar, I think for a preppy punk style, you’ll need:

*Tailored button-down shirts and pair them with funky, printed pants
*Mix prints and go for bold color combos (check out this post on mixing colors in your wardrobe)
*Boyfriend fit jeans and flat, funky boots and shoes

You won’t need to buy a ton of new clothes (besides, you’re still growing so it doesn’t make sense to have a ton of clothes that won’t fit you next year). Mixing and matching is a key element of the preppy, punky style so learn how to put together pieces that you normally wouldn’t.

Check out these two quick looks I put together and then keep scrolling for some more wardrobe pieces.

This chica was spotted by Elle’s Street Chic team during Stockholm Fashion Week. You know the drill—You Be the Stylist. Tell me what you love or hate about this outfit (while I plot on ways to get that Alexander Wang animal print clutch–omg).
