Pencil Skirt
Style Glossary: Pencil Skirt
There has been a lot of talk of skirts recently so I thought it would be helpful to define a few of the different styles starting with the pencil skirt. This is often described as a wardrobe staple (most recently by Nina Garcia) but just what defines the style?

Fab Finger Discount: New York & Co. Floral Pencil Skirt
These New York & Co. Floral Pencil Skirts ($12, originally $40) totally remind me of Thakoon. In fact, the cranberry colored one reminds me of Michelle Obama's red and purple Thakoon frock.

Look of the Day: Pretty Presents
Look at ur_momm's pretty presents she got for Christmas. Her boyfriend's mom gifted her this lovely tie-neck blouse and black pencil skirt. The result is a smart, sophisticated gal with no sign of stuffiness.
Look of the Day: Pencil Her In
I would pencil her in anyday after seeing luvpizaman in this fantastic pencil skirt-driven getup! The black top on dark denim combo looks really nice, very flattering, and I like how she broke up the dark on dark with the skinny white belt. For a little pizazz, the patent pumps were a great touch!
Look of the Day: Tres Chic
The great thing about a pencil skirt is that it can be adapted for many different situations depending on what you team it with.
When going out for dinner Sugar reader fufuwa wore hers with a bright coloured top making the look instantly more Summery and less formal. The gold clutch makes the look more fun!
Celebrity Style: Hayden Panettiere
What a lovely little lady Hayden Panettiere has become! While most other stars showed up to Z100's Annual Jingle Ball in casual gear, the petite actress stepped it up a notch in a dramatic white ruffle blouse and black pencil skirt. Some may say she's a tad overdressed for the occasion, but I say more power to her.
On Our Radar: Amy Winehouse Designs Clothing Line
Amy Winehouse loves Fred Perry polo shirts. She is regularly spotted out and about in the sporty style so it's not surprising that the brand wants to cash in on her influence. The singer has created a 17 piece collection for Fred Perry that is due in store in September and is mainly produced from a colour palette of black and pink.
Before and After: From Red to Striped
At first glance, this red bathroom isn't too bad. When I moved into this place, the powder room wasn't my main priority. Now that I've spent some time here, the red has started to wear on me.
Celeb Style: Scarlett Johansson
Dolce and Gabbana's makeup muse did some promoting at Selfridges department store in London earlier today. She usually plays up her sex-kitten persona, but here she opted for a ladylike look by Dolce and Gabbana. The pretty floral blouse is tempered by a long and lean pencil skirt and finished with a pair of nude peep-toe pumps.
