How to Make Your Way to the Pool in Style

The kaftan is a summer necessity and the perfect way to achieve the laid-back and no-fuss style of supermodels like Kate Moss. When paired with simple hair and basic accessories, kaftans work at their best to make you even more into that sophisticated siren that you are. This silk piece by Issa is just the right item for any summer destination. Due to the high volume yellow trim, it should be worn over a swimsuit as you head to the water or by itself in the evening. However, be warned that this black panther printed kaftan is an exclusive item at Net-a-Porter, and it will attract many jealous eyes and even more stares for cute guys.

Summer is upon us, and swimsuit season beckons us to find the perfect swimsuit that fits and flatters. It can be daunting, yes, but fear not! One very charming option is Lepel’s Vintage Rose Bandeau One-Piece Swimsuit, just $60 from figleaves.com. The Vintage Rose print is sweet and innocent and the bandeau top with halter neck guarantees you won’t slip out. My favorite part is the front tie that cinches you in and ensures a better fit. Ingenious design at a very nice price!
Kidada for Disney Couture

If you’re a fan of the Office (US), you’ll know that Rashida Jones plays Karen, rival to Pam for Jim’s affections. Daughter to Peggy Lipton and Quincy Jones, her sister is Kidada, engaged to Tupac Shakur and now designing jewelry for Disney Couture. It’s a teensy, tiny world that celebrities live in, so small that Nicole Richie is both friend and fan of Kidada’s line. My favorite pieces are the leather wrap charm bracelets, made from braided Italian leather and 14k and 18k gold plated charms. Nicole’s been spotted wearing the Alice bracelet with “Eat Me” and card suit charms and Bambi bracelet with pink flowers, but my bow-crazy friend Joy would most adore the Princess bracelet. The wrap bracelets are available for $125.

I was always skeptical of those clothes that you could supposedly wear 10 different ways. How could one dress be worn as a skirt, a top, and pants???? Skeptical until I discovered Carilyn Vaile! Carilyn IS California style. She creates pieces for the every day woman who is on the go. Her clothes are versatile, comfortable and low maintenance. She designs with multi-functionality in mind, a skirt that can become a dress or pants that can be worn as a cocktail worthy jumpsuit in just 30 seconds. Not only can you wear her pieces in multiple ways but they are extremely stylish too! Available at Nordstroms, Neiman Marcus, and Bloomingdales, be sure to check out her website - carilynvaile.com. 1 piece …. 10 different ways?? Who would of thought…
A Rare Vintage Find
Posted on June 12, 2007 at 8:42 pm (PST) | Comments Off
Right now I am on a vintage rush that could only be caused by finding an item that would make any fashion stylist or editor steaming with jealousy. That item just happens to be "The Suit." This vintage Christian Dior herringbone skirt suit reflects more of the glamour and elegance that Monsieur Dior exhibited himself rather than some of the most recent work that has been presented on runways for the couture house. This suit, although expertly molded and shaped, can only fit an extra small to small. Yet it is still worthy of being considered a treasure due to the fact that it is a work of art exhibited in fabric. Not only would you be getting a great garment in such excellent condition, but you would also be getting a great deal, as it only costs $189.
