Over the last year, various iterations of “safari chic” have been popping up on the runways, in magazines, and, of course, on the streets. Not only is the look fashion-forward, but it is perfect for balmy summer days. For inspiration, take a look at the lovely lady pictured above, who was spotted recently on the streets of Sydney, Australia. Our modish muse paired a soft and feminine cream blouse with khaki drawstring shorts to create a modern utilitarian look. By adding a few smart accessories—specifically, leopard-print wedges and a simple black clutch, not to mention a dash of red lipstick—our muse has created an effortlessly chic ensemble that works day and night. Look inside today’s Style Guide for key pieces.

While some of us prefer to dive headfirst into spring trends, some of us like to just dip a toe in the pool. If you fall into the latter category, but you want to try the 1970s trend that was spotted on the spring runways, consider trying a pair of flare jeans. Not only do they have a hippie-luxe vibe, but they also elongate the leg, which is always a bonus. For inspiration, we are looking to the stylish lady above, who was spotted recently on the streets of Paris during fashion week. We love the way our muse has paired hers with a striped top and a beige biker jacket – these pieces help to give the boho jeans a modern edge. With the addition of a few smart accessories—specifically, a printed scarf and a statement necklace—the look is complete. The result? An effortlessly chic look.

Thanks to brands like Stella McCartney and Michael Kors, a relaxed, minimalist look is a major trend this spring, and accordingly, it has been sweeping the streets. For inspiration, take a look at the lovely lady pictured above, who was spotted recently on the streets of Sydney, Australia. We love the way our modish muse has created a fashion-forward look by combining a few key pieces. Her forest-green tapered pants and slouchy black tank top are both wise investments, as they are pieces you will return to time and time again. In addition, when combined with a few smart accessories – in this case, gladiator sandals and a tooled leather bag – they create a modern-boho look that is effortlessly chic and perfect for summer.

Paris Fashion Week began earlier today, which means the crème de la crème of street style stars are out in full force. To celebrate the beginning of Paris Fashion Week, we felt compelled to show a perfect example of Parisian-chic in our latest Style Guide installment. The modish muse pictured above was spotted on the streets of Paris earlier this year. We love the way she has given the typical all-black uniform of French girls a unique and chic twist by adding a midnight-blue blazer. The lesson learned: it doesn’t take much to make your outfit stand out from the crowd, even if you like to stick to neutral colors. The best part? This outfit will work all the way through spring—just remove the tights!

Even though camel coats were rife on the fall runways, we consider them less of a trend and more of an investment piece here at Mama’s A Rolling Stone. After all, they’re smart, sophisticated and timeless, which means it is time to invest in one now! Of course, you’ll need some style ideas to go along with your purchase—thankfully, that is just what we have in today’s Style Guide thanks to our latest street style starlet, who was spotted out and about in London recently. We absolutely love the way she has given her camel coat a modern twist by pairing it with skinny jeans, a pair of lace-up biker boots, a slouchy hobo bag, and a breezy denim shirt. The verdict? This outfit is understated enough for a day of shopping and cool enough for a downtown party. What more can we ask for?

It is a well-known fact that Parisians are some of the most stylish people in the world—every season, when fashion week rolls around, eagle-eyed fashion fans wait impatiently to see the street style at the Tuileries. Want a perfect example? Just look at our latest Style Guide muse, who was spotted outside the Gareth Pugh show in Paris. Her outfit is comprised of five perfect pieces—a draped leather motorcycle jacket, a button-down shirt, cropped cigarette jeans, pointy pumps, and an oversized bowler bag. While the motorcycle jacket and cut-off cigarette jeans have a rough-around-the-edge feel to them, the button-down shirt and pointy pumps have a sophisticated air. The result is a sleek and chic ensemble with an edge. Here’s how to get the look for yourself:

Even though plenty of fashion fans believe there should be no rules when it comes to style, there is one that we stick to no matter what: don’t surrender your style to the seasons. In other words, when the crisp days of winter roll around, stay true to your style. Need some instant inspiration? Take a look at our latest Style Guide muse, who was spotted recently on the streets of Milan, and pay particular attention to how she has adapted her look for winter. Instead of a vintage rocker tee, she has thrown on an effortlessly cool sweater and an oversized fur vest. When paired with leather skinny pants and platform pumps, these pieces exude a rock & roll vibe that is cool and cozy, all at once. Complete your look with a chunky ring (or two!), a stack of vintage bracelets, and plenty of attitude, then take to the streets!

As fashion fans, you know that maxi skirts are a major fall trend thanks to brands like Marc Jacobs and Charlotte Ronson and celebrities such as Olivia Palermo and Margherita Missoni. Accordingly, there is a slew of style inspiration, including our latest Style Guide muse, who was spotted recently on the streets of New York. Instead of choosing a simple solid skirt, our muse has chosen a playful polka-dotted iteration that instantly brings her outfit to life. How does she style her bold skirt? Firstly, she offsets the eye-catching print by pairing it with solid pieces like a black tee and green army jacket. (Note: you can still use color, just keep it simple!) Then, she adds statement accessories like a studded bucket bag or a long pendant necklace. The result is a fresh, fashion-forward look that is perfect for crisp fall days.

In the last year, there has been plenty of buzz about the modern military trend, thanks to brands like Rag & Bone and Balmain, celebrities like Kate Moss and Rachel Bilson, and street style stars like the lovely lady pictured above, who was spotted recently on the streets of New York. We love the way our modish muse has created a fashion-forward modern military look by combining a few key pieces. Her dark green bandage dress and cropped khaki vest are both wise investments—when combined, they create an easy and effortless military look that is subtly sexy. Plus, with the addition of a few smart accessories—slouchy boots, cat-eye sunglasses, and a cross-body bag—our muse elevates her look from “at ease” to “stand at attention” without difficulty.

Double denim is a tricky look to pull off without looking like a cowgirl or Britney and Justin circa 2001. Happily, thanks to brands like Chloe and Chanel, celebrities like Alexa Chung and Sienna Miller, and a slew of street style starlets, double denim has become a fashion moment you can pull off! Just look at the street style muse pictured above, who was spotted on the streets of Paris, for inspiration. Her trick? First, break up your denim pieces with stylish separates such as a boyfriend blazer or slouchy tee. Then, make sure your denim pieces are different hues of blue, such as pale icy blue and dark inky blue. The result is a double denim look that is fashion-forward and fresh, all at once.
