Work of art?

Miley Cyrus made the top stories again with yet another photo scandal. The so-called "inappropriate" portraits were taken by legendary photographer, Annie Leibovitz. These pictures were supposed to be artistic and beautiful, dressing Cyrus in minimal clothing and makeup.

Signature This!

Style Queen reader, Cammie, tells us that her signature pieces are brightly colored scarves!

"I love all my silk scarves because they are so versatile and timeless, I can find a way to wear them with any outfit." -Cammie, CA

There's about a million, trillion ways you could wear a scarf (I'm sure). Whether it's in your hair, tied as a bracelet on your wrist, on your neck, looped in your purse, worn as a belt, or whatever! Cammie's right, they are so versatile. You can't go wrong with a trendy silk scarf, so why don't you buy one yourself?

Cheat The Uniform Code

Wish your school uniform looked as good as the ones on the CW's hit TV series, Gossip Girl? I swear, the show makes dressing for school actually look fun!

You know, it can be. Just gotta know what you're doing, that's all. But don't worry, I'm here to help you.

Here's some tips on what YOU can do to stand out in your school crowd:
1. Work the hair. Don't roll out of bed in the morning and sloppily tie your hair into a bun. Where's the originality? You'll probably look like every other ragamuffin creeping around your school at those early hours. Even if you're going for that "just rolled out of bed" look, it takes time. Style it right, tease it, curl it, crimp it, whatever! Dress your hair up with pretty headbands and delicate little hair clips. It should also flow with your accessories.

2. Brighten your day. Wear brightly colored shirts under your polos or blouses, go for the layered look! Also accessorize your sweaters and shirt colors with timeless brooches and pins, just make sure they're classy and NOT tacky.

3. Tied down. Look bussiness-chic with a men's tie. Dress it loosely around your neck and pick them out in an array of fun colors and patterns. Don't be afraid of originality.
