10 Fashion Observations, Straight From Paris
My recent trip to Paris left me inundated with chic fashion observations. Whether I was window shopping on Rue Saint-Honoré or strolling down Rue St. Germain, I would always spot a cool trend, another form of inspiration for my closet.
Olivia Palermo, Sweet Sailorette: Love It or Hate It?
Olivia Palermo always looks put together, head to toe. At a recent event in NYC, the socialite exuded a sweet sailorette look in a red and white striped dress. But it's the surrounding pieces that are debatable.
Trend Alert: Fresh Stripes
Gone are the days when striped button-down tops reminded us of "office" clothes. Nowadays, I'm seeing a new light, a new crop of fresh stripes. They're easy, they're breezy, and they're too cool to pass up.
Look of the Day: Cruisin'
Color me jealous. Sergeantkero looks like she's in a tropical paradise standing amongst palm trees and balmy weather. Check her out cruisin' down the cobblestones wearing a refreshing striped top and cropped pants.
Look of the Day: Stylish Stripes
There are subtle stripes, then there are stylish stripes, like the ones Itsybitsy is sporting. The silhouette of her dress borders on retro, but the stripes bring it down to earth while keeping it stylish. I adore the color and the tier detail.

Celebrity Style: Kristin Cavallari
No doubt Kristin Cavallari has stepped up her fashion game in the past couple months. Check out the reality star heading to Alexa Chung's MTV show emitting sharp style in a striped jersey dress, cuffed black blazer, and nude sandals. Her sought-after Alexander Wang Studded Coco Duffel is the icing on the cake — swoon.
Roundup: Stripes
In honor of Independence Day, I'm bringing you some twists on the iconic emblems that represent this holiday. You won't have to store these in the garage, though, once July 4th is over. It's fitting that one of my favorite striped finds is the French Six Leg Upholstered Bench ($599), since France was our ally in the Revolutionary War.
Desire/Acquire: Madeline Weinrib Zig Zag Rug
The cotton flatweave Madeline Weinrib Zig Zag Rug is one of my all-time favorite designs (see it in a room here), but unfortunately it's also quite pricey — if you must "inquire for price," don't bother. Luckily, there are two much more affordable alternatives. To see them, read more
