While The City's Roxy Olin wore a dangerously revealing jumpsuit today (was I the only one holding my breath the whole time?), Alexa wore on a fall-forward chiffon-trim black-and-white silk blouse from J. Crew. Here's what else Alexa Chung wore on today's episode of It's On With Alexa Chung.

Tuesday, October 27
+ Shirt: J. Crew
+ Jeans: Topshop
+ Shoes: Marni
+ Necklace: Iosselliani

Pick up this gorgeous silk top for yourself. It's $98 at JCrew.com.

Any day Paramore's on MTV is a good day. So today was a GREAT day with all of Paramore on Alexa's couch, along with a sorta-shy Shakira and a nod to Kurt Cobain on Alexa's tee. Here's what Alexa wore today on It's On With Alexa Chung.

+ Kurt Cobain T-Shirt: Rodarte for Opening Ceremony
+ Leggings: Bird By Juicy Couture
+ Shoes: Sonia Rykiel
+ Necklace: Iosselliani

Artist Rebekah Miles created this hand-drawn Kurt Cobain shirt for Rodarte. Get it for $70 at opening ceremony.us. (And check out an amazing remastered version of Nirvana's "About A Girl.")

And get the Shepard Fairey-designed t-shirt Alexa wore at the end of today's show at Karmaloop.com. It's $24, and it's a design and charity collaboration between Karmaloop and MTV's Staying Alive Foundation. Forty percent of the proceeds go towards The Staying Alive Foundation -- Travis McCoy is the foundation's ambassador -- to fight against the HIV/AIDS epidemic.

WELCOME BACK, Alexa Chung fans, Buzzworthy readers, and fashiony types! I've missed you! Huge day for the premiere of Season 2 of It's On With Alexa Chung! Tokio Hotel all over the place, Gerard Butler, Jessica Szohr, and Alexa in an PHENOMWORTHY Christopher Kane for Topshop embellished black dress... And you'd be touching Gerard Butler too if you were sharing a couch with him...

Monday, October 19
+ Dress: Christopher Kane For Topshop
+ Shoes: Chanel
+ Necklace: Iosselliani

Alexa's embellished Christopher Kane dress is $310 at Topshop. Very "Alexander Wang goes to the ballet."

Plus, check out See By Chloe's embellished black dress -- $141 at TheOutnet.com. And this amazing French Connection embellished dress. It's $268 at USA.FrenchConnection.com.

Come for the dry wit, fashion, and cat videos, STAY for VOGUE EVOLUTION! Seriously, EVERYONE was all a-TWITTER over Vogue Evolution's appearance on It's On With Alexa Chung today. Kind of incredible considering we're used to seeing celebs like Eminem and Jennifer Lopez in the elevators here at MTV. But it's... VOGUE EVOLUTION! Amber Tamblyn could barely contain herself. Can you blame her? Okay. Watch Vogue Evolution below! Deep breaths. Now here's what Alexa Chung wore today, with special guest Michael Bluth Jason Bateman! (Teen Wolf 2 4ever!)

Wednesday, September 9
+ Dress: Kova & T
+ Tights: Topshop
+ Boots: Miu Miu
+ Necklace: Iosselliani

Ready for some cuh-yoot black lace dresses? You're so ready. Left to right: Valentino Red, $795, NeimanMarcus.com; $90, Topshop; $29, CharlotteRusse.com.

Get a pair of engineer boots. You'll have them forever, and you'll thank me forever. These two-ring Frye Harness boots are the perfect combo of little-bit-country/ little-bit-rock. They're $258 at Thefryecompany.com.

Gather 'round fashiony friends. It's time to talk brilliant blazers and leather bottoms (again) -- in this case Ashlee Simpson's leather pants! Here's what Alexa Chung wore on today's episode of It's On With Alexa Chung.

Thursday, September 3
+ Cardigan: PPQ
+ T-shirt: J. Crew
+ Skirt: American Apparel
+ Shoes: Marni
+ Stockings: Hue
+ Necklace: Iosselliani

These white blazers with black trim are SO deliciously Gossip Girl gone REAL bad. The cropped tux jacket on the left is by Jaeger London, and it's $371 at My-Wardrobe.com. The mohair jacket on the right is Marc Jacobs, and it's $2002 at My-Theresa.com. (Sorry.)


This American Apparel black circle skirt is $45 and it's almost enough to make me want to learn to ice skate. Almost. (BTW, is that model one of the porn stars? I so can't even keep up.)

Okay, let's discuss Ashlee-Simpson and her LEATHER PANTS! First of all, can you even BELIEVE a human body came OUT of her human body?

Anyway, Pete Wentz's wifey was in some TIIIIIGHT-ass leather pants. Want your own? The leather pants on the left are Preen, and they're $808 at Matchesfashion.com. Saving for college? (Snore!) Get the leather pants on the right at Alloy.com for $39.90. Boing!

And we're back! I wanted to RIP THAT NECKLACE FROM AMBER VALLETTA'S THROAT! But she's way taller and probably much stronger than me. Then I got distracted by Boys Like Girls' live performance. (Watch it after the jump!) But I digress. Here's what Alexa wore on today's episode of It's On With Alexa Chung.


Tuesday, September 1
+ Shorts: Moschino
+ T-shirt: Alexander Wang
+ Sweater: J. Crew
+ Necklace: Iosselliani
+ Shoes: A.P.C.

Now I know the idea of '80s-inspired metallic ankle-length disco pants may make you itch, but Marc Jacobs made them, and Marc Jacobs can't be wrong, right? (And they're very Phillip Lim, and he's NEVER wrong). These are JUST $2109 at MyTheresa.com. Get 'em before they're GONE!

... Or, go with more subdued jacquard J. Crew shorts. Betty Draper would totally wear these. They're $98 at Jcrew.com.

Key transitional piece from summer to fall: Topshop's slouchy navy blue cardigan. It's just $40 at Topshop.com.

And you can get Alexa's A.P.C. "Sparta" gladiators are $390 at usonline.apc.fr.

+ After the jump, watch Boys Like Girls perform "Love Drunk" from today's episode of It's On With Alexa Chung.

YES. "Thrill Billy" Billy Ray Cyrus WAS on today's episode of It's On With Alexa Chung today, and YES, he did walk onto the set drinking something sizzurp-like. It was Party O'Clock, and it was a scene worthy of "Party In The U.S.A." And even though Billy Ray didn't come out and say "Let's kick the tires and light the fires, big daddy," he actually kind of did, you know? Okay, here's what Alexa wore today!

Thursday, August 27
+ Sonic Youth T-Shirt: Vintage
+ Skirt: H&M
+ Ballet Flats: Chanel
+ Necklace: Iosselliani

We've already been over where to find t-shirts like Alexa's vintage Adam Ant t-shirt and vintage Smiths t-shirt (and this faux-vintage blink-182 t-shirt), so please review, react, and shop accordingly. And looky here: A new spin (har!) on Courtney Love's 1994 Spin mag cover. This graphic-print tank is $16.90 at Forever21.com.

Oh hey, since you're already here, enjoy some presh little black zipper flats! They're by Qupid, and they're $23 at Lulus.com.

And after the jump, watch Billy Ray touch people's lives (in ways that maybe bring to mind Gary Busey... in a philosophical way, of course) and discuss his one true love, Miley "Destiny Hope" Cyrus, and perform a very special song with Alexa on It's On With Alexa Chung.

First of all, if you don't believe in the magic that just a little Scotch Tape can create, then you're reading the wrong blog. John Roberts (the guy with tape on his face) is a comedic genius. Seriously. What's more recession-friendly than some Scotch tape and a crap-ass wig? (And if I had a buck for the NUMBER of times a day I get to hear Travis say "I had half a sip of a wine cooler, Jackie," I'd be living in some shady-ass manse on Star Island.)

Next, here's what Alexa wore today on It's On With Alexa Chung, which also featured the effervescent Colbie Caillat!

Tuesday, August 25
+ Dress: ba & sh
+ Necklaces: Iosselliani & Pretty Little Thing

Alexa found the Ba & Sh dress she wore today at a boutique in Paris, but you can get the Anna Sui-meets-Mara Hoffman/ Little Punk On The Prairie look with these floral dresses. They're very Madonna in "Live To Tell." This Free People floral dress is $138 at ShopBop.com.

Love this watercolor floral dress. But I don't know why the model looks all mad at me. It's like do you WANT me to buy it or not? I'm just browsing. I didn't steal anything. God. Anyway, it's by Tucker, and it's $228 at Shopbop.com.

Ballin' on a budget? Hi! This floral romper's just $14.99 at UrbanOutfitters.com. Can't beat it with a stick.

Not only did Alexa wear a Marc By Marc Jacobs "Off The Deep End" t-shirt -- the same Marc By Marc Jacobs t-shirt we've seen I recall Demi Lovato wearing -- on today's episode of It's On With Alexa Chung, but her shirt was basically a harbinger of the show itself, which featured a visit by a bubbly Christina Milian, couch time with the unflappable Stephanie Pratt, a performance by Kristinia DeBarge, and a cheering lesson by a real cheerleading squad. Wanna know what else Alexa wore? READY????? OKAY!

Monday, August 24
+ T-shirt: Marc by Marc Jacobs
+ Skirt: Juicy Couture
+ Sandals: Salt Water
+ Skull necklace: Iosselliani
+ Elephant necklace: Pretty Little Thing

Did Topshop have Marc Jacob's spooky "Off The Deep End" shirt in mind when they rolled out their "Horror Girls" collection? Hm? Topshop's vampire tee is $36. Topshop's "Eek" t-shirt is also $36.

Cute graphic-print tulip skirt options = this blue Marc By Marc Jacobs skirt is $121 at MyTheresa.com.

... Whereas this tribal-print skirt is a whopping $15.80 from Forever 21. Love that.

First of all, we gotta say, skulls are definitely in. Why? Because they're rock. And is rock ever out? No. So therefore, skulls aren't going anywhere. Certain skull accessories might become trendy and then not (looking at you, Thomas Wylde scarf). So, that's not to say that you need to appoint yourself in head-to-toe skulls (again, we're really not sure about the Thomas Wylde tunics either!), but a smartly placed skull accessory almost always gives an oufit an unexpected edge. We've seen a TON of your garden variety silver/metal skull earrings, so we MAJORLY psyched to discover these fun and unsual coral and gold skull earrings by Iosselliani. We were not psyched, however, to discover their price: $1,092. That's dollars AMERICAN. Wahhht? We quickly went on a quest, "SkullQuest," if you will, to find unusual skull earrings that are way below the price of a semester's worth of books at most universities. Here's what we found:
