Khloe Kardashian is wearing the rocker chic look that is so popular for right now.

Khloe Kardashian’s tucked jeans into the over the knee boot, is a great way to wear that style of boot. The Furry vest ( faux fur)has been popularized by Rachel Zoe and gives instant cool factor to even the plainest outfit. Accessorize with a studded hobo bag and an interesting ring and voila, you are sporting rocker chic! Here is how to get Khloe Kardashian’s look for less:
1. Channel Rachel Zoe with this Faux Fur Vest ($29.99). It is fully lined and will keep you warm through the spring.
2. Stock up on the basics with this Crew-Neck Raglan Tee ($14.50). This three-quarter-length sleeve shirt is slightly sheer and very comfortable. Basic black tees are a staple in any wardrobe.
3. Not all of us are as lucky as Khloe Kardashian to have a basketball player husband giving us big diamond engagement rings. That doesn’t mean you can’t have diamonds of your own. Buy yourself a White Enamel & Diamond Floral Ring ($95.00).
4. Copy Khloe Kardashian with a pair of Legend Zoe Skinny Jeans ($119.00). The dark wash, straight leg and slim fit of these jeans will make you look taller and feel beautiful.
5. Get a Steve Madden Bstarlet Hobo Handbag ($98.00) for toting your things around town in style. The pink studded design adds to the rocker chic style Khloe Kardashian has.
6. Our Report Signature Harper Boot ($134.99) is a fashion must-have. They are not only stylish fashion, but they also have a low heel so they are comfortable to wear on a day around town.

Sherlock Holmes star Rachel McAdams knows how to brave a winter storm in style. Growing up near London, Ontario, Rachel McAdams probably saw her fair share of snow and has grown up a true Canadian girl. Now in New York City, she has taken her Canadian winter experience and matched it with personal flare to look fashionable even on a blustery day.

Rachel McAdams was snapped by photographers during this snowy NYC day wearing a warm Smythe jacket. We’re really happy that Christie Smythe and Andrea Lenczer, the Canadian dynamic fashion due behind the Smythe label, have also contributed their fashion expertise to Real Style.
Rachel McAdams manages to look perfectly put together despite the snow, here is how to get the look for less.
1. Smythe is a Real Style favourite and we couldn’t replace Rachel McAdams’ jacket with anything else. This Surplus Jacket in olive has the military style that so many celebrities are wearing right now without being too over the top or tough. If Rachel’s picture is any indication it is perfect for the snowiest day and it has quality that will last.
2. Keeping your hair out of your face is a challenge during winter days. Take a cue from Rachel McAdams and pull out a headband. Rachel McAdams has coordinated her accessories with this Studded Headband ($20.00) keeping her looking constantly put together.
3. Match the headband with a pair of Portolano Black Leather Studded Double Cuff Gloves ($75.00). These gloves are luxury literally right in your hands. Their lambs wool-angora lining will keep your hands warm. The studs are in style, but not too in your face. They also come in a purple if you want a day and night pair.
4. Keep all of your warmth in with this City Style Metallic Scarf (on sale for $4.99). Scarves are not just to keep warm any more ladies. This scarf proves that. While you can keep warm during your walk, drape this scarf around your dress when you get there and you have the perfect accessory inside too.
5. You can’t go wrong with a pair of Black Shape Bootcut Jeans ($69.50) from Calvin Klein. These are the ultimate in jeans. They are designed for shaping and control. You would never know it, but the front panel is designed to hold in the waist and stomach and the waistband is made to lay flat meaning they will slim you. These are must have jeans for any woman.
6. Rachel McAdams must not have been going far in those shoes in the snow. If you are running from the car into your party though our Bisou-33A boot matches Rachel’s style and is stylish without feeling too out of season. Peep toe platform boots are a fun way to jazz up an outfit while still keeping fairly seasonal. With its 1.5 inch platform and 4.5 inch heel hopefully you can stay out of the snow anyways.
7. For a long day out in the cold, you need a bag that can hold everything. Our Tusk Ltd Open Hobo ($220.00) is perfect for a day out. It is made of lightweight material that won’t bog you down while running from the storm and has enough compartments inside to hold everything you will need.

Spend one icy winter in Montreal (proclaimed as Canada’s most stylish city) and you know that your coats, bags and boots better be as sturdy and long lasting on the inside as they are pretty, sexy and fashionable on the outside. Otherwise you will be one hot looking Frozen Mess. To save you from that sorry state, enter Montreal fashion design shop: Rudsak.
Starting in 1994 as a family business, Evik Asatoorian created a brand in Rudsak that is timeless in its efforts and designs. Fur lined jackets, hefty bags and smart shoes and boots in a variety of colors and styles for men and women fill the Rudsak collection. The designs are meant for serious winter but we found some pieces to be as gorgeous as anything coming from the New York, Paris or Milan runways. The over the knee high heeled and motorcycle boots are HOT enough to freeze for.
Thankfully for us, Evik Asatoorian believes in designing fashion for long lasting quality:
“You buy at volume stores for moments, but durability and styling don’t change overnight for us. Trust me: Tomorrow, you’re not going to say you don’t want our bag anymore.” Elle Canada
With 11 locations across North America now, Rudsak has become one of the most recognized Canadian outerwear designers. Probably because like a fine wine, a piece from Rudsak will only get better with age.

We love this versatile sweater from DKNY’s fall collection. Simmilar to the ONE dress this piece of clothing can be worn many different ways always creating a new look when you go out. Look for other fashionable versatile looks such as :
-Sleeves that zip out in down filled jackets , allowing you to get a vest and then go back to jacket
-Long gloves that fold or can be scrunched down on the arm for a Long Dramatic look and short day look ( the new leather ones are HOT)
-Boots that come with removable fur or cloth overboot
-Heavier fabric mini dress that can be worn on it’s own or belted and worn over leggings
You get the idea. Stay with good quality pieces that can be worn a few different ways!
