Summer Style: 10 Crunchy-Chic Tie-Dye Looks

image
I used to tie-dye Hanes t-shirts at camp every summer, trying to create complex designs with multiple colors of dye. Basically, they turned out really horribly unless I stuck to just two colors. Then I forgot about tie-dying, maybe because I didn€™t think it would fit into my "adult" life. But after seeing Drew Barrymore wearing a rainbow swirl shirt, I decided to revisit the psychedelic-ness that is tie-dye with some clothes that are tie-dyed, or inspired by it. And if you don€™t feel like spending hundreds on a scarf or thousands on a dress go buy a box of Rit and make your own!

Summer Style: 11 Classic Canvas Sneakers

image
Now and Then is one of those classic girls-coming-of-age movies. Most of the action takes place in the 1970s, so actresses Christina Ricci, Thora Birch, Gaby Hoffmann, and Ashleigh Aston Moore got to wear some pretty sweet clothes. (I hope I€™m not the only one to think cut-off jean shorts, plaid shirts, and the most basic sneakers ever are awesome.) Exchange your usual flip-flops for canvas sneaks, and channel your favorite of the four girls€”I€™m a Samantha (Gaby Hoffmann). Check out the SLIDESHOW for 11 of my favorites!

Show Style: 10 Essential Items For Stealing That Gossip Girl Look

image
Did you tune into Gossip Girl last season just for an hour-long fashion fix? Did you ever miss a key plot point because you were daydreaming about Blair Waldorf's latest Balenciaga handbag? Well...so were the rest of the 2.7 million viewers. Gossip Girl is more than a show about Manhattan's elite private schools; it€™s a cultural phenomenon that has had a great impact on retail trends, making preppy staples like piped blazers and argyle fashionable again. And although the television season has ended (you can watch repeats on The CW Monday nights), we€™re sure its ritzy, collegiate style will be showing up in department stores nationwide when the Back to School season begins. Now if only there was a definitive answer to: "How old is too old to wear knee-socks and a short pleated skirt?"

Summer Style: 9 Sleeveless Tops For Flirty Fun And Even Tans

image
Us girls at The Frisky love going sleeveless during the summer because then we know we won€™t get an ugly t-shirt tan. (How unfortunate for guys, by the way €“ tank tops on men are kind of ick, but how else can they prevent a horrible t-shirt sleeve tan? Well whatever€¦) It€™s a fact that everyone €“ short, tall, curvy or stick thin -- has got sexy shoulders, so why not show them off in style? We€™ve picked out nine sleeveless shirts that we think are cute, feminine, fun, and flirty €“ but be warned, while some of them are dirt cheap, others are so expensive only Mariah Carey could afford them. Still, girls can dream! Check out the SLIDESHOW to find the one that is right for you!

Summer Style: 10 Straw Hats For Movie-Star Style Sunbathing

image
If you€™re fair-skinned and burn easily while all your friends are tanning, SPF 80 might not even be enough protection for you. What you need is a hat (or a beach umbrella, but those aren€™t as portable or as cute). Celebs from Reese Witherspoon to Sienna Miller have been seen sporting straw fedoras, which, unlike baseball caps or floppy fishermen€™s hats, will actually make you look more stylish as opposed to schlubby. Here are 10 of our favorite straw hats €“ they would go perfectly with your retro bathing suit and big ol€™ movie star shades. Check out the SLIDESHOW to see more!
