Whoever said sweat pants weren’t chic hasn’t lived in 2013! Sportswear has been paving its way into the high fashion world and influencing the fashion savvy around the globe. The best thing about this new staple piece is the versatility; they’re so easy to dress them up or down in a flash. Even better? There’s most likely a pair of sweat pants camping out in your closet just begging to be worn! Time to remix that wardrobe and get creative, just stay simple and don’t sweat it.

Keep it minimal with just a simple button up tucked in front and your favorite ankle boots. So effortlessly cool.

Love the tomboy look? Layer it up with a scarf, graphic tee, and cardigan. It wouldn’t be complete without a fab pair of kicks!

Put a girly twist into your outfit and update your sweats with a striped or floral tee and blazer. Add heels and voila!

If you want extra inspiration, turn to the queen of effortless street wear mixed with high fashion: Rihanna. This leading lady has been spotted numerous times rocking the trend. Her go-to secret: Keep the color palette simple! The black and grey really help create the essence of these outfits.

We couldn’t give you inspiration without telling you where to buy some new sweats (if you couldn’t find that one pair in your closet!) Asos has some amazing joggers, and we love their speckled pair on the left ($43). Forever 21 has a modern pair with a geometric pattern great for spring and are a serious steal ($20). If you want something a bit wilder, try a white harem pant like the ones we found at Zooshoo ($37). They’re so chic and luxurious!

With the newly opened and highly anticipated Rockefeller Center farmer’s market this past week, that was where this weekend’s hustle, bustle, and of course stylish midtown gals were to be spotted. Arriving at station point, I was blown away by the overflow of head-to-toe Free People fashion’s which isn’t something so out of the ordinary seeing that the company’s most recent, and not to mention beautiful store opened right across the Rockefeller promenade. A mixed bag of loyal FP shoppers as well as some employees were spotted rocking their favorite pieces both new and old to combat this mixed weather New York City has been experiencing.

Isabella Wearing: Free People dress, slip, and scarf. Vintage crop corset blouse and bag. Favorite Brand: Urban Outfitters and Free People About her Free People outfit: “This was my 4th of July outfit from last year. I woke up this morning, it was a beautiful day, and I was feeling patriotic. Also, these are my favorite pieces in my closet.”

Alanna Wearing: Free People head-to-toe Favorite Brand: Anything vintage or a brand that I have never heard about. About her Free People outfit: “As a Free People stylist, layers on layers has just come so natural for me at this point.”

Ellyse Wearing: Free People jacket, vintage dress and cuff. About her Free People outfit: “I love mixing something super girly, like this bridal looking maxi, with something rugged. It balances it in the most opposite way possible.”

Debra Wearing: Free People head-to-toe Favorite Brand: American Apparel About her Free People outfit: “I’ve definitely got a lot of double-take’s today. An outfit this radical will do that, I guess. But once I enter Free People world (A Free People store), it’s so normal.”

Hawthorne Boulevard is a funky historical district located in Southeast Portland and home to some of Portland’s most famous vintage stores, like The Red Light and House of Vintage. Along this street are the cutest little cafes and diners (Bread & Ink is a favorite,) along with the well-known Waffle Window, where you literally go up to a window on a brick wall to find an assortment of waffles to take on-the-go. An overcast Saturday morning brought out stylish shoppers and some headed out to brunch.

A warm Friday afternoon’s rising temperatures brought out a variety of looks. Many of us stayed with the breezy feeling of spring while some of us have dove deep into our summer-time closets. On Los Angeles’ West Side, where we are taught to respect anything that might be the next fad, senses of style collide between students from nearby universities, the up-and-coming 20 somethings, and the well-established tastes of older generations.

Preggos Halle Berry was out and about in LA spending the beautiful afternoon with daughter, Nahla, and boyfriend Oliver. Halle has reported to People Magazine that she “loves Mother’s Day [since she gets to] be taken care of” on this special day!

Britney was all smiles as she was snapped goofing around with her two boys, Jayden and Sean. The singer posted the lovely pic on her official Tumblr to share with her fans!

Another cool mom donning a slinky maxi was no other than gorgeous Jessica Alba. Trotting along with her daughters and hubby, Jessica enjoyed the day with the family by heading to brunch.

While Noah may have looked a bit unhappy in this photo, mom, Alessandra Ambrosio, couldn’t look more delighted to have him and her sister, Anja, by her side in this vintage-styled photo.

TV Personality, LaLa Anthony, snapped a cute photo of herself and her son, Kiyan, inside an extravagant white house (or museum?).

With summer just around the corner, it’s time to turn up the tan and get our glow on! While we gradually (and safely) adding some color to our skin, sometimes our face takes a little longer to catch up. Lucky for us ladies, we have bronzer! This magical cream/powder/gel/however-you-get-it can add that touch of radiance our skin may need and even contour our face.

The biggest problem? There are so many different kinds! It’s hard to find the best bronzer, especially for your skin. We’ve narrowed it down to our top 5.

1.NARS – Bronzing Powder ($36)
We know, we know; Nars products can get pricey, but rest assured this bronzer is nothing short of worth it. This powder has buildable coverage and comes in 3 shades. It has small flecks of gold which gives skin a mega-healthy looking glow and best of all, it’s great for all types of skin. You won’t be getting that cakey, orange look with this bronzer!

2. M.A.C. – Bronzing Powder ($24)
This M.A.C. bronzer is a fan fave without a doubt! This popular product is flexible, going on super sheer with lots of room to build up enough coverage for extreme contouring. It also has a matte finish which makes it a fab multi-purpose product, tripling as even eye shadow or brow powder. How can you not love it!?

3. LAURA MERCIER – Bronzing Gel ($32)
This new product is perfect for those with normal to dry skin due to the gel consistency. It’s extremely light weight and has a mousse-like consistency that blends into skin seamlessly. The best part? You can mix a dab into concealer or foundation!

4. E.L.F. – Bronzer ($3)
Price doesn’t mean you can’t have quality and E.L.F continues to prove that year after year. This bronzer has four quadrants which you can use individually or swirl altogether for a luminescent sweep of color. This bronzer gives a subtle, natural glow by using this technique and is perfect if you’re still unsure or new to bronzer.

5. BENEFIT – Hoola Bronzing Powder ($28)
Besides the cute packaging and kitschy name, there’s nothing better than this completely matte powder. Its perfect for every shade and type of skin and great for those with oily & combination skin. It also includes a brush that fits perfectly in the case, which is awesome when you’re on the go!

Portland’s Cinco de Mayo festival on the waterfront was filled with bright colors, loads of interesting outfits, and awesome authentic Mexican food. It was an unusually hot week in Portland, with temperatures far beyond the normal overcast grey skies and 65 degree average, so the festival goers got their first chance to escape pants and long sleeved tees for something more fun. Adjacent to the festival was the weekly Saturday Market, famed for its unique vendors and its one of a kind “Portland Grunge.”

Emma wears an American Eagle shirt, high waisted shorts she’s made herself, and a bag she just bought from the market. Cool camera strap, right?

These festival girls looked cool and confident wearing different prints, patterns, and, of course, Birkenstocks. Miley (left) displays her fresh henna tattoos with a knotted Forever 21 tee and some Target printed shorts. She rocks her grandma’s sunnies.

Stylish couple Jack and Diana were caught on their way back from VooDoo Doughnuts. Diana wears a Urban Outfitters tank and necklaces, with a black mini and sheer black stockings from H&M.

Mariah wears a bright red bandanna tube top she scored at funky vintage store, The Red Light, along with some shorts she thrifted.

One look at Tiffany and you’d never guess she’s a Chemical Engineer! Decked in brightly hued apparel from head to doe, Tiffany of The Werk Place, knows how to work her outfits effortlessly. Believing that ‘the body is a werk of art,’ Tiffany certainly knows that fashion has no boundaries since she loves to mix luxury pieces like Chanel with economic brands.

Lace Up
Add a feminine touch by wearing a lacey dress. We love how the fabric is sheer enough so that anything underneath would peer through successfully! Get a similar skirt by Karen Kane.

East Meets West
It’s not summer yet, but that doesn’t mean you can’t wear it. We love how playful Tiffany looks by wearing this brightly clad kimono with a touch of red lippie. Check out this dress by Bow & Arrow.
