Erin has learned to take criticism about her daring fashion choices in stride. Though some naysayers compared her high-waisted A-line American Apparel skirt to "the Madonna look" and Clarissa Explains it All, Erin still "had so much fun that night and loved it." To get Erin's daring look, pair the affordable mini skirt with a sheer lace crop top.
Mara Hoffman's stunning tropical and ethnic print maxi dresses are ideal for the warm summer months to come. For a California girl like Erin who has been "living in maxi dresses," these floaty frocks are a no-brainer. "They're just really easy to wear, they're comfy and easy."
To layer her look, Erin turns to blazers with a relaxed boyfriend fit. Erin is amongst the many celebrities turning to It-brand Elizabeth and James for standout street-wear. Erin loves them because "they make the best blazers and they're not too expensive."
For a feminine look, Erin favors Dolce & Gabbana's lacy Spring 2011 collection and who can blame her? Erin envisions pairing a D&G zip up bodysuit "with a nude sheer maxi dress." The dresses are "just so feminine. You feel like a woman."
What would any closet be without a great pair of denim? As Erin sagely puts it, a woman should have "a good pair of staple jeans in her closet." Erin's choice for the perfect jeans are Current Elliott. Flared or skinny, she doesn't discriminate, saying, "I've got on the high-waisted black skinny ones and I'm quite into the bell bottom jeans these days."
To toughen her red carpet looks, Erin opts for heavy duty boots. Her pick? "I do love a good a good Fiorentini & Baker motorcycle boot," says Erin. "I live in those."
We love a gal who doesn't take herself, or fashion, too seriously. Erin lists Jeremy Scott as one of her favorite designers thanks to his "great sense of humor," which she considers to be one of "the most important parts of fashion." As Erin points out, "Sometimes people forget that it's supposed to make you feel good."
In keeping with her playful approach to style, Erin loves the bold prints that have popped up on the runway recently. "I am obsessed with all of the Prada stripes and colors and the Miu Miu polka dots." The vibrant graphic prints hit the spot for Erin, who says she's "loving the pattern matching at the moment."
For an earthy hippy vibe, Erin turns to Anna Sui for a "mixy matchy" look. The "whimsical, '70s, rock'n'roll, grunge look" matches Erin's relaxed approach to style.
All it takes is one peek at Timo Weiland's urban blend of patterns and shapes to get why Erin describes his line as "effortless, chic and cool." When Erin talks about her designer pal's clothes, she says she feels "like I could put on one of his outfits and feel like the coolest person in the room."
