MICAELA BECKWITH AND MIRIAM STERNOFF FOR SHOPTOPIA

STYLE EXPERT: SPORTY CHIC

Celine, Proenza Schouler, Victoria Beckham all went a bit sporty on their recent runways. But this was no trip to the gym, no run on a treadmill. We’re talking high style, feminine and cute, with a sophisticated nod towards athletic detail and comfort chic. “Victoria Beckham proved, with her collection, that sporty can be very girly. Her body conscious dresses were comprised of sporty elements like polo collars and stripes,” says Miriam Sternoff, who, partnered with Micaela Beckwith, has styled for publications like Nylon, Teen Vogue and Vanity Fair.

Our two fashion experts point to stars like Kate Bosworth, Olivia Palermo and Diane Kruger who “always nail the sporty chic look. All three are extremely feminine but they add a sporty twist to girly ensembles with ease.”

But how can a woman grab some style from athletes without looking like she’s heading out for a morning jog? “Keep a nice juxtaposition when attempting this,” says Sternoff. “Try a cute baseball cap with a floral dress or throw on a blazer in a casual jersey fabric with your cute sweats. Pick items that are deliberately sporty and pair them with your more anonymous items like basic jeans and a feminine pair of flats.”

And for the office, Sternoff recommends, “a cute pair of heels with rubber treading on the bottom or a pencil skirt with mesh inserts, adds a sporty touch. Sporty chic is so on-trend right now that finding date or work appropriate attire is very easy.”

ALL GAS: NO BREAKS

There is a certain someone here at the office that is obsessed with Men's Wear....

(actually we all are...but we will let our intern take the fall...)

The twinkle in her eye that sparkles every time we shoot Tom Ford, Ralph Lauren, Etro or
Dolce and Gabbana men's

pieces is as bright as a ray of sunshine.

Today we would like to share our love for Men's Wear with you.

One of our favorite trends in Men's Wear currently are slacks with no break.

Break: A break is where your pants fall on your shoes, creating a horizontal crease in the fabric across the front of your pant leg. 

 While breaks are an important detail.....we love guys with out them.
It often presents cleaner detail, sleeker more tailored look.
It screams I've got it together. 

THE GOLDEN BOY

THE METALLIST

So I'm cruising the internet as I do everyday for new finds and I'm realizing there is a theme here. Everything that catches my eye is either gold, silver or bronze. And why could that be, probably because I haven't gotten up from the couch in a week from watching the Olympics. So clearly there is an imprint on my brain because of this. So there are only two ways to go with this, either I can go and get myself a medal which seems unlikely. Or I can purchase something metalish, which seems more likely. So here are things that I'm coveting. And the gold goes to...... thank you, thank you no applause necessary.

HIS WEAR: HER STYLE

One thing consistent here at Mac and Mir is our love for menswear. 

We have a beautiful way of sewing a touch of it into almost  all of our outfits.

We are currently loving oxfords and loafers.

They are tre chic paired with cropped trousers and sheer blouses.

You can even wear them with  denim , a  borrowed tee from your beau, tons of jewels and a great blazer.

Let his wardrobe inspire you!

ISABEL MARANT FW 2012

Isabel Marant x Arizona Muse equals pure perfection. I mean Arizona Muse first off can really do no wrong. Throw in cool girl clothes and shake it all up with an androgynous feel, and you have the perfect fashion cocktail. Please note the wool double breasted peacoat with burgundy trim, I mean really?! 

BOY BANDS AND THE OLYMPICS

You are reading the title like "huh? boy bands and the olympics? they don't go together!" Allow me to make the connection for you. Yesterday while we were prepping for yet another boy band (apparently we found our lane) we made one last stop at The Gap for some last minute things, because we thought we had NOTHING! (the suv was packed to the brim and we couldn't see out the windows). Anyways, on the way out i spotted the limited edition tees they did in celebration of the upcoming olympics. They are the softest things u ever did feel..im going back for one folks...when we return all the stuff we got at The Gap that we didn't use because we already had too much stuff. YEAH.

NOT SO MELLOW YELLOW

One of our favorite hue trends this season is Neon Yellow. It is the perfect pop of color for just about anything.  A little to the lip, a little to the hip and even a little to the finger tips...(wait was that corny or what?)

None the less, it is a color to make just enough of a statement!

A SPRINKLE OF DENIM

Currently in the land of Mac and Mir we can not live without our chambray shirts. It's the perfect layering piece over all of our dresses, it's great playing peek a boo underneath a light sweater, and  adds a dash of chic edge when paired with whites or skirts. We aren't mad at a little ombre denim on denim situation either! 

How do you wear your chambray shirt?
