We are in love with new video street style blog, Style the City. Started by some fab Finns and filmed in Helsinki and San Francisco, this vlogazine (combination of video, blog and magazine) gives the viewer a slo-mo and mesmerizing close-up of the cities’ most stylish folk.

Check out Aurora from Helsinki and Cecilia from San Francisco below, then go to Style the City for more exploration of style via film.

The lovely ladies at Nitro:licious posted tips on how to survive the upcoming Lanvin for H&M madness that will descend upon your local H&M this Saturday, when the collection drops from heaven and onto actual racks.

Different colored bracelets, limits, groups of 20! Sounds confusing, especially for so early in the morning. We say, depending on where you are in the country, get there at least an hour before H&M opens, wear comfy shoes,  and prepare to elbow your way through the racks!

Fashion has been nodding to Mad Men with form-fitting skirts, sweaters and curve celebration galore. If tight pencil skirts aren’t de rigueur for you, then try cat-eye sunglasses–the shape of the moment.

Linda Farrow makes an ah-ma-zing pair of over-sized snakeskin pair of sunglasses that combine a retro shape with modern flair.

Following in the footsteps of Dove’s “Real Beauty” campaign, MAC lauches “MAC Me Over” to find  real people to rep their fall  2011 color collection. Just go to macmeover.com and submit a photo or video of yourself that begins with the phrase, “MAC Me Over because…” and ends with the phrase, “style, heart, and soul.” Entries will be accepted through December 20 and six winners will then be flown to New York City to be photographed for the campaign, which is set to launch globally.

Good luck to you and your “real person” face!

Maybe we’re perverts, but one thing jumped to mind when we saw this cardigan from Thakoon Addition: the (speculated) subject matter of Georgia O’Keeffe’s paintings.

It’s a gorgeous marled cardigan with an oversized shawl collar, but the black piping pattern is a bit suggestive. Or maybe we are perverts. Let us know in the comment section if you agree or think we’re cray-cray!

Jason Wu is pushing his way into the bridal games January (watch out, Vera Wang!) with a bridal collection made exclusively for Net-a-Porter. A collection of five looks of varying lengths, it promises to be so fab that Michelle Obama may consider renewing her vows just to wear more Wu. We can’t blame her.

Madewell, cousin to J. Crew, has some really cool pieces lined up for next season–casual knits, lightweight denim, layering pieces and more make up this collection that’s perfect for running errands and going to outdoor music festivals–it’s casual without being sloppy. I know we’re skipping fall and winter, but we drank the Kool-Aid, ok? Just like the rest of the fashion industry.

You have to know complex geometry to figure out this dress. Multi-strap and chic, kind of in a “I’m going to be snapped for a Copenhagen street style blog” kind of way, this long strap dress from Complex Geometries–a two-year old line known for calculated draping, gathering and precision–allows you to wear it with the strap in front, almost mimicking a circular scarf, or in back.
