What Is All the Fuzz About? How to Wear Fuzzy Sweaters for Fall

Time to bring out the bulky clothing because fall/winter is already upon us, and we can't afford to freeze our buttocks off for the sake of fashion, can we? Fortunately for us, a handful of fashion bloggers are going to show us how to wear bulk and fuzz for fall without looking like a creature from Monsters, Inc. Here are five of our handpicked bloggers who will show us what all the fuzz is about:

1. Bebe of Fated to be Hated

What would fall be without leather? Try a tiered fuzzy sweater in hues of gray and match it with a black leather mini skirt. Pick out a pair of sheer stockings and black leather flats to complete your androgynous look. (Did we mention that we love the lace trim on her skirt?)

BB Dakota Baxley Striped Sweater, $26.50 (before: $88.00) / Diane Von Furstenberg Black Lace And Leather Elley Mini Skirt, $179 (before: $298) / NaturalSoul by Naturalizer Villagio Smoking Flats, $47.99 (before: $59.99)

2. Malin of Spark and Bark

Okay, so this one may not be fuzzy but it is bulky, and we are all about schooling fashionistas on proportions here. Plus, how adorable is this holiday glitter-and-lace look? Pick out a fresh color for your sweater and pair it with white lace shorts to divert your outfit from the dark hues of fall. Slip into festive glitter flats to put an exclamation point to this ensemble.

Shop her look:

MinkPink Be My Baby Fuzzy Jumper, $56.00 / Nasty Gal Gilded Lily Lace Shorts, $24 (before: $48) / Campana + Melissa Shoes Campana Zig Zag 4 Silver Glitter, 55.00

3. KTR of KTR Style

This is one of the freshest looks we've seen done on a fuzzy sweater. Pair a cobalt or black colored top with a high-low hemmed full skirt in a bright color (bows at the waist are optional but highly recommended). Put on a pair of metal-strapped sandal heels for that touch of sophistication in this ber girly look.

Urban Outfitters byCORPUS Cozy Popcorn Sweater, $69.00 / KTR Collection High Low Bow Skirt in Fuchsia, $126.00 / Charlotte Russe ID Tag Ankle-Strapped Heel, $35.50

4. Esmirna of Platforms for Breakfast

Not willing to let go of your summer overall denims just yet? Fret not, because all you need is a wardrobe update and your denims are on their way to fashion salvation. Pair your white fuzzy friend with light-washed denim overalls, adding a little bit of holiday with a pair of metallic heels. Choose chunky clear heels for that casual chic look.

Forever 21 Speckled Fuzzy Sweater, $24.80 / Fashion Union Denim Denim Dungaree Shorts, 25.00 / DailyLook Modern Sandal Heels, $39.98 (before: $44.99)

5. Toshiko of It's Not Her It's Me

Ah, textures and prints - the fastest way to put oomph into your basic silhouettes. Bring spring and fall together by matching a geometric-print sweater in light hues with a pair of floral skinnies. Slip into a gorgeous pair of white buckled boots with chunky heels for that bit of edginess.

Shop her look:

Nasty Gal Light Of Dawn Sweater, $48.00 / Forever 21 Floral Print Skinny Jeans, $24.80 / Nasty Gal Jeffrey Campbell Hyatt Buckled Bootie, $195.00

3 More Standout Purses from “The Bridge” Premiere

Were you able to catch the first episode of The Bridge? How did you find it? The suspense-drama series aired on Wednesday, but before that, the whole cast flocked the DGA Theater last Monday for the show's premiere. And because it was a red carpet event, all the ladies dressed to impress - complete with well-appointed extras for added drama.

As covered in our previous post, Diane Kruger used a Charlotte Olympia Pandora Cancer Zodiac clutch for the occasion. But did you know that there were several other purses that stood out at the event? Check them out below, and see if you can ID some of them.

1. Emily Wickersham in a Woven Oversized Envelope Clutch

Emily Wickersham softened her black two-piece look with an extra large woven envelope clutch and white nail polish. The mix was unusual, but it was also fresh, young, and quite chic. Can you ID her purse?

2. Stefanie Sherk in a Shell Minaudiere

Stefanie Sherk went glitzy and glam with a white-hot fringed frock that she paired with an off-white shell hardcase. Although we weren’t able to get any official details on Stefanie’s minaudiere, we’d like to take a wild guess and say it’s a piece from Rafe New York.

3. Stephanie Sigman in a Beaded Clutch

Stephanie Sigman used her exquisitely beaded clutch as the highlight of her outfit. Her dress wasn’t a perfect 10, but she was able to jazz it up with the colorful arm candy, and the effort paid off. If you like her purse, below is an option from Moyna.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley: Trading Jason Statham for One Direction?

Would you or would you not trade your hunky “transporter” boyfriend for five boys with bright smiles?

Thankfully, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley gets to have all of them eating out of her hand. Honestly, is there a man on this planet who wouldn’t? The boys of One Direction (Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, and Niall Horan) joined the Victoria’s Secret Angel on the cover of Glamour magazine’s August issue.

While Rosie gushed about how adorable the boys were, the boys in turn were honest in admitting that it was not easy to get cozy with one of the world’s most beautiful women at first. As Liam put it, "I'm not the best at talking to women. When you're with someone like Rosie, it's a bit more difficult. I was like, I don't really know what to say, so I'm just gonna kind of stand here and try to be cool."

Here’s a snapshot of Jason and Rosie at the Hummingbird premiere last June 17. Boy, these two sure look good on cam!
