summer isn’t over… squeeze in all you can! I’m coveting this watch, bag and shoes to fall into fall.
Make a statement with a bold navy face and soft rose gold bezel and strap with Michael by Michael Kors “Bel Air” wristwatch. Even the name sounds regal. Clare Vivier’s “SeeVivier La Tropézienne” tote is the perfect casual yet chic bag to tote all weekend long, in the city or at the cottage. Big enough to fit your essentials, but small enough to keep it from turning into a suitcase… And lastly, J.Crew’s MacAlister wedge booties are a current take on desert boots that offer your legs (and derrière) a flattering lift. Fashion meets function when paired with white skinny jeans, short-shorts (a wedge heel doesn’t look trashy with a short hem-line like other high heels can – the daring can rock cut-off denim Daisy Dukes!), linen pants, a sundress, or skirt. Add a silk blouse (neutral of summer 2011 bright), and you’re set!
The iPad needs no introduction. Oprah’s favorite thing EVER, she’s rumored to have cried when Apple agree to include it in her December 2010 giveaway show (jealous?). Not lucky enough to be in that audience, I’m waiting for my engraved iPad 2.0 in the mail… Not a patient person by nature, after hitting a few local Apple stores I quickly learned that the 4-5 week wait (now 2-3) quoted at apple.com is better than lining up at the crack of dawn. Which brings me to operation-stylish-case.
For now I’ve ordered Apple’s Black Leather “Smart Cover”. It has a magnetic connection that puts your device to sleep when you close it, and does double duty as a keyboard stand (great for travel). I’ll start with this case while I decide between my top 6-favorite above. Thankfully the first iPad edition’s dimensions and 2.0′s (Height: 9.50 inches – 241.2 mm – and Width: 7.31 inches – 185.7 mm) are close enough that you can choose from the same cases. Ooh la LOOOVE!
Whether you don something safe (a tuke, black fedora, even a baseball cap as I’ve been known to wear on long flights) or avant-garde like these gals, hats off to you for trying and wearing it well!
“Put on a trench, you’re suddenly Audrey Hepburn walking along the Seine
– even if you’ve got red hair and you’re five one.” – Michael Kors
There’s something incredible about this fashion staple. It makes every designer, stylist and fashion expert’s top 10 must-haves list for a reason. A trench coat is instantly chic and so transitional.
Whether you’re going from day to night, winter to spring, spring to summer, summer to fall, or fall to winter: a trend has you covered. Figuratively and literally. So buy a great one at a level that’s considered an investment for you. Take care of it, wear it with pride, and keep it FOREVER. This coat is never going out of style, and as we see with Jessica (Alba), Jennifer, Jessica (Biel), and Gwyneth – there are many lovable takes offering fresh style to this timeless and classic look.
The right trend is nothing but flattering. A longer length like Gwyneth’s hides your stomach, knees, thighs and hips, while a belt emphasizes (or creates) a waist and curves. Shorter styles (like Jessica Biel’s) can easily appear more casual and effortless during the day, but can still be dressed up (like Jennifer’s) when you want more glam. The right hardware (buttons, pockets, zippers, epaulettes, ruffles, belts, snaps, bows) make all the difference. Whether you’re running to the grocery store or dressed to the nines, no one needs to know what’s underneath…. It’s all part of the allure.

In most parts of the country (and continent) shorts are tucked away until next spring – summer… but Blake (Serena) shows us how to take short jeans shorts into fall. With tall black Equestrian-rain-boots, and exposed knee-high socks – we can push this look on warmer days until snowfall.
Blake’s rugged denim and buckled-boots on bottom are beautifully offset by her preppy sailor striped navy and white fitted button-down on top; think mens-country-wear meets Upper East Side. Her dainty gold charm bracelet hangs off her right wrist giving a gorgeous hint of femininity, with the gold-and-bronze hued paisley hanker-chef scarf loosely tied around her neck offering the perfect final touch. It’s nice to see a way to wear wardrobe staples like shorts more months of the year, just as it’s nice to see the irony of different looks (preppy, Upper East Side, rugged, menswear, scarf-chic, School-girl, distressed denim) all coming together: seamlessly. Serena-Style.
