Key Pieces: Mini skirts, bold prints, leopard anything/everything, skirtsuits, body-con dresses, tights, the occasional statement evening gown for when Mr. Sheffield lets her out of the house and, of course, tons and tons of hairspray.

Designers to Wear: Vivienne Westwood, Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Betsey Johnson

Defining Fashion Moment: Whenever Mr. Sheffield had any sort of high-brow event at the manse, Fran would finagle her way into the party with a show-stopping entrance atop the staircase, which she would then descend dramatically like the drag queen she is. However, any serious discussion of Fran’s style would be incomplete without mention of  her equally fabulous mother Sylvia Fine and gold-lamé-loving grandmother Yetta. The apple doesn’t fall far from the heavily-sequined tree.

I don’t absolutely hate this look on Paloma – she has a lot of balls to wear something so “Beyonce” to her album launch. But the tights are horrendous and the fascinator is just too much. I really wish the shoe was gold and strappy as well. There’s a lot going on but not a lot of cohesion to hold things together. I’m getting “cooky showgirl” and I doubt that’s what Paloma and her stylist were going for.

I adore hosiery, stockings & tights. Some would even say it's a fetish. I say it's a necessity.

Fishnets under your work pants, peeping through your peep-toes: Not one accessory can compete in making you feel sexier. Cable knit tights keep you warm thus allowing you to continue to wear that leather or suede mini skirt throughout a blizzard.

Even adding a loud color or bold print stocking to an otherwise yaaaawn outfit is reason every woman needs a variety of hosiery.

Chic layering is key – mess around with what you have. With an amalgamation of tights, long cardgians, sweaters, blazers, scarves and a great coat and boots to combine and play with, there are no limits.

Two things I am not: 1) Preppy. 2) Girly. But oh, this outfit makes me want to be a little bit of both! Besides being mesmerized by the perfection that is this girl’s layering/styling, I really love how she coupled a cropped jacket with a cardigan to make a faux-coat as well as her tights/knee-highs/Mary Janes combination.

Thanks Rackk and Ruin!

Tavi, the stylish 12 year old who has been dominating the style web with her super fresh looks, just got a very special gift from some very special designers. The Rodarte sisters must be fans of the budding fashionista’s whimsical dishes cause they just awarded her a pair of exclusive knit tights from their Spring 2009 collection.

Yes, I know. You’re officially jealous of a 12 year old.
