Anna October's ruffled tops succinctly summarize my summer style! I especially love how they all turn heads, day and night. Check 'em out .

This skirt goes from the office to the beach without breaking a sweat. And I love the chic Altuzarra-ish vibe!

I'd like to revel in the warm temperatures by wearing a fun, flowery skirt like this. (Also love it with a more subdued, office-friendly black crew neck .)

Speaking of great tops, in case you missed out on 's highly coveted off-the-shoulder blouse, above, you can do what I did and snap up this version at a tenth of the price instead. It's gorgeously dramatic!

My first lunch at super sceney yesterday called for the debut of this cute, wear-all-summer-long linen top. (My date Clare Vivier wore these cute!)

A fast and easy way to spring up(date) an outfit: a ruffled statement blouse, such as the one, above, by . I think these flirty, playful (and on trend) tops go hand in hand with spring's sunny vibe, especially these pretties by , , , , , and .

It may be Monday but I have Saturday night on my mind--and the best way to dress for it. This past Saturday was a biggie for me: Tequila! Dancing! Surprise Taylor Swift performance! More tequila! More dancing! And it was a learning lesson: Partying into the wee hours calls for a thoroughly party-worthy dress. Mine was not. I wish I could do it all over again and boogie down in one of these festive frocks by , , , , , and . Another radical idea: skipping the dress and wearing a head-turning top like the lace one, above, with fun pants.

Seems like graphic tees came and went--and just came back again! What makes them slightly different this time around is that they look vintage and distressed, as if they've been part of your off-duty wardrobe for years. These special t-shirts had a strong showing over the weekend in Paris, primarily as foils to more sophisticated designer pieces (think head-turning statement outerwear, shoes and bags). As you'd expect, this high-low mix works for me, and I'd jump on this trend with these stylish (more subdued) tees by , , , and (above).
