Ginger, cranberry, and curacao - now the refreshing mix-ins from your favorite summer cocktails can actually be spritzed on as your newest signature scent!
The newest cologne spray from Marc Jacobs - the Cocktail Splash Collection, is a limited-edition, just-for-summer-2011 series of sexy scents that channel some of our favorite cocktails and mocktails for the season.
Designed by perfumer, Yann Vasnier, these scents are light enough to spritz on for frequent touch-ups during the day without feeling like you’re over-scenting yourself, and are fun, festive, and refreshing for the season without screaming ‘summer’ like many fruity and citrusy-inspired scents. Plus, they look gorgeous on your shelf!

Shopbop.com is hosting a special capsule collection called ”ONE by”. They’ve selected a handful of designers to design their perfect item, or as Shopbop describes it “ A curated collection of singular pieces from established and emerging lines.” Basically, it’s an assortment of beautiful one-offs. And, what beautiful one-offs they are.
One of the most lovely pieces is the flowing, jersey, button up maxi by Spring & Clifton, a New York-based label started by California-born Michelle Zacks. Her luscious knitwear has both the bohemian sentimentality of California with the sophistication of New York.
This skirt is no exception. It’s long and black for the new york set but you wouldn’t look crazy wearing this to the beach or The Grove. The high slit is sexy and buttons look great on the fabric. The jersey renders this skirt casual when any other fabric could have made it goth-y and less wearable.
Wear this skirt with flats or heels, with a flowy shirt or muted tank.
Oh, and? It’s on SALE!
Where to Buy - Shopbop
Price - $98.70

I recently was lucky enough to attend the Billabong 5th Annual Design for Humanity Event held at the L.A. Paramount Theater.
Pairing up with VH1’s Save the Music Foundation, it’s a night of food, drinks, fashion, art and music, all coming together to raise awareness and money to save the arts and instrumental music programs in our school system.
A strong believer that the arts and music are extremely important to the next generation, this event wasn’t only fun and exciting, but dear to my heart as well.
Check out the video and pics of the fashion, people and fun that went down at this years Billabong’s Design for Humanity! See you there next year!

So ... what exactly is an espadrille, anyway? There’s wedges, flats, sandals ... all claiming to be an espadrille!
Usually made of cotton or canvas fabric on the upper, espadrilles are also being seen made in (faux) leather and other materials. What makes an espadrille is the rope or hemp detailing used on the bottom portion.
Fashion History NewsFlash!: Espadrille is derived from the Catalan word esparto, which is a strong wiry Mediterranean grass used to make the rope found on the earliest espadrilles.
See? You learn something new everyday! And now, as a tribute to this classic summer shoe, check out our slideshow of all types of espadrilles!
Prada’s Spring/Summer 2011 collection, which showed in Milan last September, has been all over the red carpet.
Fourteen-year-old True Grit star Hailee Steinfeld wore a full length version of one of Miuccia’s standout pieces: the orange, pink and black gown to the SAG awards, inspiring Vogue’s Andre Leon Talley to call her the ‘best dressed of the night’ insisting ‘she didn’t try too hard.’
Magazine editors seem to agree as the gown has been earning mileage traveling from Europe to Asia to North America and back, gracing the covers of Harper’s Bazaar Singapore February 2011, Elle Magazine April 2011, Harper’s Bazaar UK July 2011, Flare May 2011, Elle België’s May 2011 issue, InStyle UK June 2011, on everyone from Claudia Schiffer to Amanda Seyfried. Even funny girl Tina Fey tried on the striped dress in InStyle and as part of an editorial in Harper’s Bazaar Korea.

DKNY and Theodora & Callum both came out with a Navajo print scarf recently and while we love the tribal inspired design and the vibrant colors ... we’re not too sure about shelling over a couple hundred dollars for this accessory.
Especially not when our fave trendy boutique, Forever21, is offering a lightweight version that’s perfect for summer for less than $7! The semi-sheer, lightweight material makes it just right to add a little color to these warm, sunny days ... and speaking of color, this Navajo print scarf comes in a variety of classic and vibrant hues. We’re loving the coral version!
Where to Buy - Forever21
Price - $6.50

There’s no question about who wears the pants when it comes to these leading ladies!
A girl in trousers is telling the world that she is confident, chic and means business. With all the styles and designs available, a good pair of pants can be worn on stylishly casual weekends and can also take the place of a fancy dress.
These Hollywood starlets know what we’re talking about! We’ve got four hotties in pants and we’re asking you to tell us who you think wears the pants in this poll!
Amanda Seyfried keeps it chic and simple in a pair of cropped tan trousers and sleek black pumps, quilted purse and tank.
Hilary Duff looks right on trend in a pair of wide leg jeans, oversized earrings and a vintage-look leather satchel.
Transformers star, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, keeps it streamlined and sexy in a fitted black vest and matching skinny leg pants with strappy silver heels.
Jessica Biel makes the classic white blazer and black pant ensemble edgier with leather skinny leg pants and matching leather flats.
So who’s it gonna be? Take the poll below!
This bag from TopShop is structurally and texturally classic and simple. It’s the perfect size for a day shoulder bag, without all of the adornments that can render a purse tacky or cheap.
Simple whipstitch detailing gives the bag a John Wayne Western feel and it’s all the extra detaling it needs. Also, the adjustable strap with the buckle is cool and subtle addition that’s convenient too! It’s roomy enough to accomodate your daily dependables, but not so big that you end up bringing along everything in your apartment. Plus, we love the color of the rich and truly chocolate-y leather.
No huge label, no tassles, no useless gold hardware just a well made, basic, brown leather bag that you will wear well and often. This bag can go anywhere you go and with almost anything you could wear.
Where to Buy - Topshop
Price - $40.00 (was $80)

Summer makeup is no fuss in my book. I love the look of a warm summer glow and have been using these three products over and over the last couple of months so much so that I thought I should share them with you.
They are always with me in my bag when I’m on the go. I skip powder in the summer days when it’s hot but after I moisturize, I dab on mark.’s Just Pinched ($8) in Cheeky on my cheeks and rub it in. It keeps me a nice pinky glow and looks so natural.
For my lips, I like it neutral and have been using mark. Lipclick Full Color Lipstick ($10) in Toasty which feels light and sheer on my lips. When I want some shine, I add a layer of mark. Gloss Gorgeous Stay on Lip Stain ($10) in Bare on top. It’s all so easy and I’m done in less than 5 minutes!
Check out mark.’s tutorial for no-makeup makeup for more easy summer makeup tips.
Don’t spend a lot of money on makeup! I love mark. products for their quality and range of colors. Their products are also perfectly compact that you can easily slip them into a bag or beach tote!
