Recycle and Reuse Your Neglected T-Shirt:
VS model and new girlfriend of Adam Levine, Behati Prinsloo is the queen of casual cool. Even when running about in the city that never sleeps, she manages to make even the most random T-shirts look street chic cool. Have an old T-shirt laying in the back of your closet? Though it's been neglected by your compilation of hanger-worthy purchases, it still holds more potential than you would expect. Do like Ms. Prinsloo does and pair an old shirt with your favorite pair of black skinny jeans and your favorite pair of worn in sneakers. Freshen up that sexy bed hair with a dab of Bumble and Bumble's Texture Creme to add an extra oomph to those tousled tresses. Throw on your favorite shades and you're ready to hail your next yellow cabby.
Freshen up a basic, casual black dress:
Vampire Diaries' lead, actress Nina Dobrev is one too familiar with the casual cool look. Even in this shot of her in an issue of Nylon Magazine, she looks at ease in this comfortable look that seems to pay tribute to the Rat Pack. Throw on a wide plaid print button-up that adds a boyish charm to the look. Don't have one? Steal one from the boyfriend and it makes the look even more tastefully authentic to the definition of "cool". Throw on your favorite pair of worn in All Stars... bundle last night's curls into a perfectly undone top bun and you're ready to roll!
Mix Temperatures:
Tube socks were never meant only for the breadwinner of the family. Do like Mila Kunis and make a play for different shades of gray. Nothing screams sexier than the "girl-next-door" in a cozy sweater to cuddle into paired with denim cut off shorts. Guaranteed your hubby wouldn't mind being a couch potato with you in this cuddle-worthy look.
Don't be afraid to "Recycle and Reuse" your favorite Fall statement pieces:
Spider Man's newest leading lady brings her inner New Yorker out with this look that's mixed with a touch of British flavor à la Kate Moss and Sienna Miller. I have always been absolutely obsessed with mixing black, grays, and neutral tones. Nothing says classic more than this color block selection. Pair your black trousers with a striped cardigan like Emma to add consistency to the color throughout your look. Want to spice up the look a bit? Do like Emma and pair your look with a pair of modernized oxfords with subtle shimmer.
Simply Chic:
Ashley Olsen has always been the model of classic chic in the simplicity of her looks. Sure she enjoys accessorizing her outfits, but she was never a fan of the crazy baubles. Classic solid pieces in classic, basic colors may seem boring laying in your closet, but when mixed properly, it's ever so chic and easy to style. Ashley mixed her navy knit with a pair of gray acid wash skinnies. To add that signature Olsen touch to it, she keeps her sandals simple, adds dainty rings, and a bold yet simple, matte gold cuff. Luxurious yet classic and ever so simple.
Even a Lady Can Keep a Look Grounded Without the High Heels:
Even the queen of style only suited for a classic lady, socialite and model, Olivia Palermo knows how to spend a weekend in an understated cool look. How cute does she look with her dashingly handsome German model of a boyfriend, giving her a lift in a bicycle meant for a romantic weekend ride? Even in a pair of metallic, magenta-lilac All Star sneakers, she manages to keep the look clean and sleek by choosing to rock her liquid leggings rather than the standard black cotton leggings. Top off the leggings with a nice blouse and a simple cardigan and you have the perfect mix of a proper lady stirred in with the modern trends to keep it looking hip.
Coffee is the Best Accessory:
As silly as it sounds, making a run for your morning cup of joe serves more of a purpose than giving that pound of a caffeine fix when your mind hasn't fully accepted it's morning yet. A comfy tee, comfy sweats, and a lounge chair is the best definition of a day of ease. Throw up your hair into a messy bun, put on those big black shades, and slip on a mix of dainty, vintage inspired gold rings and a bold turquoise stone ring to make a silent tribute to the Olsen Twins. No guarantees that paparazzi won't be hiding behind bushes trying to sneak a snapshot of you thinking you're just another celebrity doing something as mundane as getting your morning coffee fix.
