The propos-ness of a resort collection has now been discussed in fashion editors' corridors more times than the number of outfits Lady Gaga struts on a Paris sidewalk on any given night.



Because no one buys resort wear for that distinct purpose and because resort collections are actually just pre-spring spring, we won't get into that debate right here right now.



Instead, let us feast on Versace's idea of footwear for the world-circumventing yacht crowd of ridiculously rich ladies who supposedly buy resort collections.

Meet the Top 10 Jacket Bloggers of September 2014


It's probably still unseasonably warm in some countries but it's already time to break out some of your trustiest fall jacket essentials. If you still have a summer hang over, we'll psych you guys up and get you in the mood with the help of these amazing jacket looks from some of our favorite bloggers:


1. Nataly from Russia


Nataly




Camel coats never get old. We don't know about you guys but we'll never tire of them. Give your camel coat a school girl vibe just like what Nataly did and pair it with a plaid dress, a pair of tights and a pair of heeled lace up shoes.


2. Dominica from Slovakia


Dominika




You can never go wrong with plaid blazers this season. They instantly inject a street credibility to an outfit! Take it from Dominica who wore an enviable plaid blazer with a dress, a fringed bag, a pair of dotted tights and a pair of oxford shoes.


3. Jenny from Los Angeles


Jenny




Jenny's Line & Dot trench coat is nothing short of beautiful. It looks like the perfect oversized outerwear to snuggle up in during the cold autumn months.


4. Mariko from London

Here's an outfit you'd want to file away in your to-copy list. Remi rocked her two-tone Pull & Bear bomber jacket to perfection. The ripped jeans, the unstudied appearance of the shirt and ankle boots - definitely copy-worthy!


6. Julie from Romania

Leather moto jacket and animal print skirt make a striking sartorial tandem. If you want to make a statement, do what Julie did and pair up these classic pieces.


7. Diana from Boston


Diana




If we own Diana's BCBG trench coat, we'd probably live the whole season of fall ensconced in it! It looks so comfortable and stylish at the same time.


8. Manona from Russia

There's nothing like an animal-printed blazer to spice up a black and white ensemble. We're taking a page from Manona's style book for this infallible trick!

Lily Collins Means Business in Matching Blazer and Skirt


We've always admired Lily Collins' sharp sartorial sense. She goes out looking every bit the style-savvy girl she was reckoned to be! This outfit is not an exception:

Lily Collins outside the ITV studios today in London on October 6, 2014



The 25-year-old donned a matching zebra-printed blazer and skirt from Balmain for her ITV studios guesting. She paired it with a plain black cami blouse and a pair of Christian Louboutin So Kate 120 pumps in black suede.



This outfit has an undeniable business-like charm to it. We can totally see you stylish ladies going to work in an outfit resembling the actress' and then transforming it to a night out garb with just a few minor tweaks.



And because the print is already loud, the Love, Rosie actress decided to keep the accessories toned down. No necklace and earrings, just some dainty rings from EF Collection.



Go ahead and steal this look! Here are some similar blazers you might need:



1. Balmain Zebra Print Cardigan, $1719.56

2. Balmain Jacquard Jacket, $2431.83

Meet the Top 10 Jewelry Bloggers of August 2014


Statement accessories and jewelry are what you need if you want a look that makes an impression. This is very evident in how many fashion bloggers style their outfits with oversized necklaces, bold cuffs and bangles, and other jeweled pieces.



If you're not sure how to upgrade your own wardrobe by accessorizing, our top 10 fashion bloggers of August will show you how.


1. Be Sugar and Spice from Spain


Wearing a statement necklace is the easiest way to accessorize a plain white dress. This lovely blogger of Be Sugar and Spice wore a pair of black-and-gold sandals and some gold rings and bracelets that resulted in a Greek-goddess-like appearance. Instead of wearing a gold necklace, though, she chose a multicolored studded, beaded necklace that was rather more bohemian/tribal. The look was exceptional!

2. Nadia Yusova from Russia


Nadia Yusova of Style It Up was in a calm mood the day she wore this lovely ensemble. She put together an equally cool and serene outfit that included a peach collared top, leather pants, and nude pumps. Accessories weren't needed anymore, but her unique cuff was still a welcome detail.

3. Puschok and Bear from Germany


Here's an example of a chic laid-back look! This beautiful German blogger of Puschok and Bear wore a plain white shirt with black pants. The ensemble could have been very simple if not for her striking orange wedge sandals and her chain fringe necklace with multicolored beads. Her curled blond locks and coral lips also upped the entire look.

4. Joy Diaz from Mexico


Hot and gorgeous. That's Joy Diaz in a corset top, black leggings, and high heels. Many consider leaving the neck bare when in a tube top, but this 16-year-old Mexican blogger opted to wear a bold necklace in blue. This and her lovely hair and makeup made her hard to ignore.

5. Priscila Diniz from Brazil


One can look either sophisticated or edgy in a black dress - it partly depends on the accessories. See how Priscila Diniz of Look at Me BR demonstrated a rock 'n' roll look with a spiked necklace and matching earrings in a black-and-gold combination. She clearly nailed this!



Priscila-Diniz



6. Mirella Szymoniak from Poland


Channeling a sassy sailor look was Mirella Szymoniak of Fog Dancing. She was fresh in a striped blazer and matching high-waist shorts. Her blue necklace looked great against the plain white shirt underneath her blazer, and its rope detail made it even more perfect with her navy-inspired getup.

7. Eli Garcia from Canada


Eli Garcia of Eli in the Walk-In brought color to her plain white perforated dress by wearing a handmade blue necklace. It gave her chic summer outfit a fresher look!

8. Amina Allam from Morocco


You can't miss Amina Allam of Look by Amina Allam in a striking orange knit sweater, which she matched with a beautiful white-and-orange necklace. Her necklace also glammed up her rather casual ensemble that included a pair of distressed jeans and sneakers.

9. Pam Hetlinger from the United States


Many fashion bloggers have already proven that a plain white outfit is a perfect canvas for accessorizing. Pam Hetlinger of The Girl from Panama can attest to that. She was lovely in a white dress styled with a colorful tassel necklace that also features sparkling crystals.

10. Kendall Kay from the United States


We were immediately drawn to the stunning necklace that Kendall Kay of It's Kendall Kay wore in one of her looks last month. Featuring enchanting rainbow quartz rocks, this chain necklace was a playful addition to her ensemble that included a pineapple-printed top and a white miniskirt.
