New York Street Beat: To The Tee


Let’s face it: in the summer heat there’s nothing more comfortable than a soft t-shirt. But usually t-shirts are, well, pretty basic.


That’s why Jenna’s anything but basic American Apparel striped jersey dress leapt out at us as a major style statement. We love how her look is instantly transformed from casual to sexy with the off-the-shoulder sleeve. The wide belt provides the perfect contrast; while her bag and gladiators lend an air of rock star chic.

Golden Girl: Rihanna

Rihanna is a rare bird. What I mean by this is she's a member of the young Hollywood elite -- and surprisingly, her style doesn't make me want to hurl (Lindsay, Paris, Heidi: I'm talking to you ladies, and I use that term loosely).

Just take a look at her loveliness above...the makeup, hair, dress, and don't even get me started on those fab necklaces...she just glows. Of course RiRi could make a Hefty trash bag look like couture but I'm willing to bet many of you can pull off an equally sexy look.

These two might do the trick, plus they're both on sale at the moment:

Fluid liquid gold by Vivienne Tam. Get it at DJ Premium.

From the eternally flirty Betsey Johnson. Get it at Bluefly.

Put on quite a show in either of these numbers and get ready to take a bow.

It's on sale at Nordstrom for 40% off....hurry!

I've Got My Eyes On You

Photobucket

I *heart* Refinery 29 and their latest promo email just hit my style spot so hard I had to share it. Enjoy!

By: Piera Gelardi

A little while ago, we sang the praises of a certain clear eyeglass frames from Selima Optique for J. Crew. And wouldn't you know it, all of a sudden we're spotting see-through specs everywhere. Coincidence? Perhaps—but unlikely. What caught our attention this time wasn't just crystal-clear style, but translucent shades of cornflower blue, lavender, yellow, and amber. We're still keen on the original (see Topshop for a cheaper version), but these pale tints of color are exactly our speed.

Bohemian Rhapsody

I picked up the July issue of British Glamour while I was abroad and had to share this gorgeous spread with you. I know the boho look has been around for a while and some may say it's 15 minutes are up but I have to disagree. Who wouldn't want to look like:

My personal fave is the Isabel Marant dress (6th one down), which is yours?
