Now that the fun new fashion-centric Jane by Design show [2] premiered
on ABC Family, whose look did you love? (If you missed it or don't
have a TV, you can watch it here [3].) Whose look would you steal and
what are your top tips for snagging the look? Be sure to share your
style advice on the Jane by Design FB page [4], and please don't
forget to mention that Fashiontribes sent you. And if you tweet, the
official Twitter hashtag to use is: #JBDStyleChallenge.

So far, the fashion bloggers participating in the Jane by Design Style
Challenge have...

...shopped for something interesting & video'd the haul [5] (Challenge
#1)
...upcycled a tee inspired by a style icon [6] (#2)
...described the most "me" handbag in our collection [7] (#3)
...transformed a fugly Xmas sweater-vest [8] (#4)
...styled a plain white buttondown for a day at the office & then out
for cocktails [9] (#5)
...used pretzels(!) for fashion inspiration [10] (#6)

For this, the final challenge, we were instructed to share our own
tips on how to get someone's look. I particularly like Billy Nutter,
the bestie of the title character, Jane - and his rocker-boy 80s vibe.

[12]The key ingredients in this look are a cool leather jacket, a
tough bag, and eyecatching accessories like touches of leopard &
Risky Business-style sunnies & happenin' hair.

For my Billy-inspired ensemble, I started with this completely fab
Rick Owens leather (any excuse for Rick Owens, really) and cute
Michael Michael Kors skinny pant with an interesting tuxedo-stripe
embellishment for visual texture & to keep all this black from feeling
too heavy. A vintagey tie in leopard looks equally cute on
fashionistas as it does fashionistos - and accessories by Alexander
Wang proved picture-perfect. (They're all available at NET-A-PORTER
[13])

Just step into a pair of cute jodhpur boots like these snazzy ones
from Burberry, spike up your tresses - try Living Proof Hold Firm
Hairspray [14] - et voila, it's Billy-fabulous by design.
