Kaleigha Martin of Kramey Martin, Andrea Kerbuski of Blonde Bedhead, Caylee Willett of If You Seek Style

It's almost fall, which means it's that tricky time of year we like to call In-Between Weather. So how do you suit up for a seasonal transition? We took to the style blogs to get some inspiration! There we found Kaleigha Martin of Kramey Martin, Andrea Kerbuski of Blonde Bedhead, Caylee Willett of If You Seek Style who all show off great transitional jackets. See below to find out why they're the favorites of the week.

Kaleigha Martin showed off her Deni bomber jacket from Anthropologie, which is we picked for its details: double-breasted military-style buttons, puffy sleeves, and two front pockets (which are perfect for stashing your keys and cell phone). It also looks great with her outfit — a navy blue dress, brown belt, and matching brown boots. This girl is ready for fall.

Andrea Kerbuski of Blonde Bedhead

Michigan-based blogger Andrea Kerbuski picked up one of the biggest trends for fall: Army green. Her cropped three-quarter length jacket by Ecote is a great neutral element for any type of outfit, which is why it pairs perfectly with her accessories, from the cream bag to the leopard scarf to the aviator shades to the Jeffrey Campbell boots. Cheers all around for this one.

Caylee Willett of If You Seek Style

Caylee Willett gave us a great idea for incorporating bleached denim into our cool-weather wardrobes. The Forever 21 jacket looks great with a black-and-white tribal mini from H&M and tons of jewelry — bracelets, rings, and even a silver ear cuff! The jacket sets the tone for the whole eighties-inspired outfit, which has a downtown vibe we totally want to steal.

Jared Leto Wear Face Paint Better Than Ke$ha

30 Seconds To Mars performed at the Lowlands Festival in the Netherlands on Monday, and frontman Jared Leto showed off a cool new look — face paint! He swooshed three white stripes across his cheeks and forehead, and dabbed pink color above his eyebrows. His mohawk was at full spike altitude. You know who also loves colorful painted faces? KE$HA! But the real question is: Who wears their face paint better — Jared or Ke$ha? We'll leave that one up to you.

Jessica Alba's Zig-Zag Balmain Dress

Jessica Alba attended the premiere of Machete in Los Angeles last night wearing a black and gold zig-zag sequin dress by Balmain. She looked fantastic in it, big shoulders and all, even though the pattern totally reminded us of Charlie Brown's T-shirt. To finish the look, she wore Christian Louboutin's Tinazata 120 cutout boots, which sell for $1,395 on net-a-porter.com, several gold bracelets, and two gold rings. She even painted her nails gold, too!

Black One-Shoulder Dresses Like Audrina Patridge

When we asked you who wore the one-shoulder black dress look better between "The Hills" stars Audrina Patridge and Kristin Cavallari last week, you overwhelmingly voted for Audrina's one-shoulder David Meister frock. Now it's time to get the look! Her exact dress, with its metallic foil print, is available online for $368. However, if you want to spend less, you can! Get her look with this BCBGeneration Grey Smoke Taffeta dress ($44.98), which has the same metallic look as Audrina's. This Ruched Metallic dress from Forever21 ($24.80) is also a good choice, as it's designed with stretch knit fabric, so it'll fit nice and snug.

Taylor Momsen's Split-Sleeve Top

It's rare that we ever see Taylor Momsen out of her garter belts and lingerie nighties, so when she changes it up, we notice. Like when she attended a photo shoot earlier this month and popped on this black and white top with split sleeves. The top that the 17-year-old wore is actually by Division E and it is available for $64 on ShoppeTrozillia.com. It's a great throw-on piece. And for The Pretty Reckless singer, that could be helpful, just in case she got cold wearing something like this.

Emma Watson Models For People Tree

Emma Watson is the model for People Tree's fall 2010 collection! Though she said she had no part in the design, she did admit to helping to choose fabrics for the fair-trade clothing label. As for her glamour shot seen here, this must have been shot BEFORE she cut off all her hair. {People StyleWatch}

Blue Sequin Dresses Like Stephanie Pratt

We love all things shiny, which is why we loved the blue sequin dress "The Hills" star Stephanie Pratt wore to the Runway magazine launch party in Las Vegas earlier this month. The sleeveless look with black geometric patterns is actually the $255 Misha Sequin dress by Boulee, the same label who designed Audrina Patridge's fuchsia purple dress for "The Hills" series finale. If you don't want to spend hundreds on her exact look, you can snag something similar for less than half the price. Just check out this As U Wish "Wave" Sequin Tank dress ($58), which has wavy swatches of blue sequins in several pretty shades. It's sexy, lower scoop neck is just like Steph's, and we love the mix of hues! This ombre one-shoulder dress by Arden B ($69) is another great option for ladies who want to show a bit more skin. We've also seen the one-shoulder look on fellow "Hills" girls Kristin Cavallari and Audrina Patridge this summer, so it would be like mixing all their styles together.

Britney Spears In A Bridal Gown

Courtesy of POP Magazine

Britney Spears landed on a fashion magazine cover this month! She's the cover model for the British fashion magazine POP's September issue, and the photos of her JUST DROPPED. Artist Takashi Murakami art directed the cover, which was shot by Todd Cole, and what has us thinking "whhaaa?" is her wardrobe on one of the two covers: A WEDDING DRESS! To top it off, she's also wearing a stone-encrusted veil. Could she be trying to convey an anime bride look? Possibly! For the second cover, the wedding veil remains, but the singer wore a navy blue leotard and strapped on a hot pink backpack, perhaps a throwback to her "Baby One More Time" days. Overall, we love the dark-rimmed lids and pink lips. But the wedding theme still threw us for a loop.

Tyra Banks kicks off Cycle 15 (yes, we're up to THAT MANY!) of her hit show America's Next Top Model on September 8, and this time around, she's going HIGH fashion. The supermodel-turned-TV host wrangled a number of fashion superstars such as designer Diane Von Furstenberg, model Karolina Kurkova, and photographer Patrick Demarchelier (yes, the Patrick from The Devil Wears Prada!) to serve as guest judges this year. Plus, this season's winner will get a spread in VOGUE!!! Well, Italian Vogue, that is, and that's on top of her contracts with IMG Models and Cover Girl. With that said, let's meet the 14 girls up for the prize.

Nicky Hilton Modeled At The Charlie Brown Fashion Show In Australia

Photo: Getty Images

Earlier this month, there was a little online buzz about designer Charlie Brown booking socialite Nicky Hilton to walk in the label's runway for Australian Fashion Week, which is happening in Sydney right now. Well, today, on other-side-of-the-world time, she walked in the show, which was billed as one of the most popular of the week, as in years past models Linda Evangelista, Lily Cole, Jade Jagger, Jerry Hall, and Sophie Dahl walked in Brown's show. Hilton, 26, modeled three looks in total, and here they are!

The shiny cream dress with sheer sleeves was the least offensive and most red-carpet ready, though she probably didn't need the belt around the waist. Then, she went for a leopard-print off-the-shoulder dress with matching headscarf. It looks too senior citizen baking in Boca Raton, Florida for us, which is weird because we typically LOVE leopard. Her final strut down the runway involved an aqua blue dress with a floral blue headband, which looks like a bridesmaid dress that you'd fight against, but then finally give in just to please the bride. Though, the color is quite pretty on her.

Miss Universe : Miss Mexico, Jimena Navarrete

Meet the new Miss Universe, Miss Mexico, Jimena Navarrete! The 22-year-old beat out 82 other hopefuls for the title of Miss Universe, and she was crowned tonight in Las Vegas, Nevada at the Mandalay Bay Casino. Her evening gown was gorgeous and not too over-the-top pageant girl — a simple, one-shoulder, elegant red ballgown with a thigh-high slit. She looked beautiful.!

Here are the rest of the ladies who made the top five:

1st runner-up: Miss Jamaica, Yendi Phillipps, 24


Her satin aqua gown wasn't the most fashion-forward, but when we think of pageant dresses, this is what comes to mind.

2nd runner-up: Miss Australia, Jesinta Campbell, 19


Campbell went for a gold V-neck gown with embroidered silver and gold strands all over it. VERY pageant-girl!

3rd runner-up: Miss Urkraine, Anna Poslavska, 23


Ukraine's dress was the most, shall we say, revealing? However, she looked like she could've been walking on a fashion runway, so it was one of our favorites, just for glamour's sake.

4th runner-up: Miss Philippines, Venus Raj, 22


This metallic dress really shined, and shiny things are always great! However, we wish she would've lost the extra material on her right shoulder because it clashed with the sash and distracted you from seeing the rest of the dress.

Miss USA, 24-year-old Rima Fakih, did not advance past the first round. At least she looked radiant in red.

The Creative Arts Emmy Awards

The Creative Arts Emmy Awards were held in Los Angeles on Saturday, and both Miranda Cosgrove and Chelsea Staub showed up wearing fun, flouncy light-colored dresses. Nickelodeon star Miranda Cosgrove, 17, wore a strapless short dress with embroidered flowers on it by the red-carpet staple label, Marchesa. She matched her dress with Casadei double-platform pumps and a clutch by Genevieve Jones. Disney star Chelsea Staub, 21, also opted for a light strapless dress — a white mesh dress with a scalloped, layered skirt and asymmetrical hem by BCBG Max Azria, which she paired with matching white pumps and a red clutch. Her dress is actually on sale for $299 online, slashed from its original price of $598. We were thisclose to pushing "Add To Cart" on this fun piece, until we realized the season of wearing white is too close to being over!

Trend Alert: Amber Lancaster Signature Style

Amber Lancaster, star of MTV's The Hard Times Of RJ Berger, has been party-hopping this summer! (Can we tag along, please?) And she developed quite a girl-next-door/totally-attainable style as she skipped around town. Her faves: Loose, light tank tops, long layer-friendly necklaces and chains, short black skirts, and peep-toe black pumps (not that we're following her ... oh wait, yes we are). For example, last night, she attended Audi and Chopard Emmy Week kick-off party wearing a peach-pink tank, black skirt, long chainlink necklace, and peep-toe pumps.

Earlier this month, on August 13, she wore basically the same outfit, only with a white tank and a more delicate gold chain to a WWE SummerSlam party. You can get this look, too. Just throw on a tank and black skirt, which are wardrobe staples (Nordstrom has a white tank for $8.90, Roxy makes a peach top for $11.25, Express has a scalloped skirt for $34.90, and Arden B makes one a little tighter, bandage-style for $39). Though, skip the pumps for a more casual look, and instead try a good pair of flats to dress it down.

Stephanie Pratt's Blue-Streak Eye Makeup

Photo: Gregg DeGuire/PictureGroup

One way to really bring out the natural color of your eyes is by lining your lids with a matching colored eyeliner. But this isn't an easy trick to pull off! The Hills star Stephanie Pratt, however, showed us how to wear it right when she attended an event last week in Los Angeles wearing blue eyeliner and red eye shadow. Look at how the liner brings out her baby blues! So, what's the secret? "She balances the look by leaving everything else — her skin and lips — fresh and clean," Marc Reagan, the director of artistry at Bobbi Brown, told us. Read on for complete instructions to nab the look, plus Reagan's tips for making your peepers pop.

GET THE LOOK ...

STEP 1
Sweep a flesh-toned eyeshadow like CoverGirl Eye Enhancers 1-Kit Shadow in French Vanilla ($2.39, drugstore.com) all over lids, up to the browbone. This one acts like an eye primer, too, so your handy work stays crease-free all day.

STEP 2
Brush a reddish-brown shadow like Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Roach ($17, drugstore.com) from lash line to crease. Or, try the Duo Eyeshadow by Nars in Brazil, which comes with two red-based hues ($32). "Red tones are tough to wear around eyes because they can make you look sleepy," says Reagan. "The reason it works here is because everything about Stephanie's skin has been perfected." Bottom Line: Make sure you wear a little concealer to disguise any blemishes — they'll look redder if you don't!

STEP 3
Define your natural eye hue by smudging a blue liner on the lower lash line (as close to the inner rim as possible). We HEART: M.A.C. Technakhol Liner in Smoothblue ($14, maccosmetics.com). If you're a brown-eyed girl use a purple liner instead for the same eye-opening results.

STEP 4
Finish the look with a swipe of black gel eyeliner (Maybelline's Eye Studio Gel Liner in Black, $7.59) and two coats of black mascara (try L'Oreal's Telescopic Explosion Breakthrough Mascara in Blackest Black, $9.49).

Bright Pink Clutches Like Olivia Palermo

Olivia Palermo at Michalsky Style Nite in Berlin. From top to bottom: Sondra Roberts ($99), BCBGMaxAzria ($98), Windsor ($22.90), Betsey Johnson ($78.90).

We're always impressed with Olivia Palermo's ability to mix and match trends, colors, fabrics ... you name it. Which is why we were so excited to see how The City star put her own twist on bright pink (one of summer's hottest colors) and use it as an accent color to brighten up the belted black-and-white polka-dot dress she wore for Michael Michalsky's style event in Berlin this summer. Want to snag your own splash of color? Well, the one Olivia is wearing is by Sondra Roberts, and only costs $99! But, here are some more options: BCBGMaxAzria's Soft Bow Wristle Clutch ($98) comes in shiny satin, and it's oversized bow is a fun twist on the trend. Or, try this textured Betsey Johnson 'Betsey's Night Out' Frame Clutch ($78.90), which is super flirty with its ruffles and frills. And this Windsor Hot Pink Ribbon Prom Clutch ($22.90) is an affordable way to try out the look. It's swirly rose design is similar to Olivia's clutch and it also has that great pink color.

Kristin Cavallari Already Ditched Her Dark Hair

Kristin Cavallari was a brunette for, um, NO TIME AT ALL. Even though The Hills star Tweeted that she had dyed her blond hair a few shades darker and premiered the look on August 11, she got rid of her darker 'do quickly. Today she stepped out with lighter locks (more like her natural shade) when she showed up to a design session for ShoeDazzle.com in Los Angeles — not even two weeks she debuted her darker look! Could she have regretted her decision to go to the dark side? Or perhaps blonds really do have more fun? Either way, for dying her hair so much, it sure doesn't look damaged, so that's a plus.

Trending: Embellished Headbands Like Rooney Mara

Put a band on it, girls!
From top left clockwise: Topshop ($24), Shopbop ($64), and The Limited ($16.50).

This week, all eyes were on 25-year-old Rooney Mara, who just snagged the coveted role of Lisbeth Salander in the upcoming movie The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. So, naturally, we checked her out, and she has GREAT style! We particularly liked her look when she attended the Los Angeles premiere of A Nightmare on Elm Street in April, where she accessorized her 'do with a sparkly, embellished headband, which made her pinned-back updo look so much more ROMANTIC! Want to steal Rooney's style? Do it on the cheap with this Pleated Stone Headband ($16.50) from The Limited, which has pretty rhinestones arranged at varying angles on a pleated piece of fabric. TopShop's Mirror Sequin Headband ($24) is a great option for girls with thicker hair since it has a wider band. The hair piece is made with jersey fabric and comes adorned with silver sequins. And finally, we love Deepa Gurnani's Beaded Headband ($64) for the lovely embellished floral accents on top. Plus, its band is adorned with gems and sparkles, and you can never have too many of those.
