Credit where it is due.


We have never been big InStyle fans. It always just seemed a little too—how do we put this politely?—safe for our style tendencies. It's not that we don't like celeb fashion, but we are much more interested in true personal style. And we prefer a quirky-indie twist with our trends, a la Lucky, or a seriously insider voice, a la Vogue.

And so we didn't set out to enjoy InStyle's long-awaited redesign—as seen in the new August issue with Rihanna on the cover—but we really did. There's a solid mix of fun items, stylish features, good tips and enough indie designer cred to satisfy our style needs. Truly, we were hooked by page 52, at this picture of Charlize Theron in the most fabulous Sally Tseng fitted tuxedo jacket. Which has apparently sold out. (Which is fine, because we really can't afford it.) The slouchy sleeves, the skinny lapel… swoon.

Luckily, there are about 19 other tuxedo-style jackets featured in the issue—truly, if InStyle wants you to have one item for fall, it is the shrunken tuxedo-y blazer!—so we will look to get our fix elsewhere.

it's so funny to see this post, i just saw the most perfect white blazer at club monaco today. i never thought that i would swoon over men-turned-womenswear, but i did, and i am praying for a day when the piece goes on sale.

I <3 InStyle, but I hate the fact that practically everything they feature is exorbitantly priced. Their "Deals and Steals" section was always woefully small. I'm very, very tempted to write to them and implore that they keep us lowly peasants in mind. Am I the only one not really feeling the redesign?

I've found the cutest vintage blazers on Ebay recently. Like this one.

The auction is over for this one, unfortunately. Everything old is new again.
