Get The Look: Kate Upton's Elle Magazine Cover

Image: Co-Star Instagram
No doubt about it, Kate Upton looks absolutely stunning on the cover of Elle Magazine. After we were done gazing at the cover for a good 10 minutes, we couldn't help but notice her oversize necklaces...and how you can easily recreate this look with our selection of Shy by Sydney Evan necklaces! A scaled-down version that's great for everyday, these necklaces, bracelets and rings looks great alone or layered like Kate wears hers. 

Which word pictured is your fave? Tons more of the line in store and online, so check it out! 
Oh, and how can we forget that red hot dress? We've got a sweet and flirty dress from Rebecca Taylor in the store in the perfect shade of poppy red. Get the dress, get some necklaces, and practice your sultry stare....and voila, Kate Upton's got herself some competition!

Guys, this is 'THE' jacket of the season

Marc by Marc Jacobs Pensecola Letterman Bomber Jacket, $798 at Co-Star Austin  //  Image: Co-Star Instagram
Can we take a minute to appreciate the pure awesomeness that is the Marc by Marc Jacobs 'Pensecola' letterman bomber jacket? One of the latest arrivals to the shop, varsity and letterman jackets are 'the' must-have trend for fall. This jacket is one of our favorite items in the shop for the gents.  It's the perfect combo of navy wool accented with a black leather hood and sleeves, and we love that white striped accent band. Great for a casual city like Austin. Wear this, and you just might look too cool for school...in the best way possible.

An Outfit Essential For Chic French Girls (And Those That Want To Look Like One)

We just came across a fab French style blog called Le blog de Betty and holy chicness....girl looks amazing in her Thierry Lasry sunnies! We love all the styling directions she takes her Thierry's in - sleek and sophisticated, fun but edgy, boho chic and cool-kid vintage. Proof that these go with every outfit you can dream up!

If you've got to get your hands on a pair (and you know you do), we've got a great selection to choose from. Still on the fence about making a pair yours? Let's have a chat about why you need your very own pair of Thierry Lasry sunglasses.

1. Yes, they are pricey but think about how often you'll wear them (that would be everyday....seriously). A must-have investment piece that you'll wear year-round.

2. The classic shape never goes out of style. No regrets about them looking dated in a season or two.

3. Universally flattering. We have seen people of all shapes and sizes try these beauties on, and they look good on every single person. They are magical like that.

5. Each pair is handmade in France. These aren't your typical el cheapo sunglasses. The quality of craftsmanship is evident right from the get go - the sunglasses are sturdy, well made, and come with a hard case and printed protective fabric sleeve so nothing comes between you and your flawless Thierrys.

4. Accessories make or break the outfit. Luxe little details like a high-quality pair of sunglasses, a rich leather bag, or a great pair of shoes instantly make a big impact, and pair well with classics or less expensive trendier items. 

5. Tons of celebs like Rihanna, Anne Hathaway, Nicole Richie and Dita Von Teese are fans of the line. Plus, cool French girls with impeccable style like Betty are wearing them. Enough said.
