    Wardrobe Wish List: JCrew's Slub Cotton Crystal Necklace Tee

    Ida Hsiang on Sep 25, 2009 5:23 AM PDT
    Okay, I, like most girls, love to dress up. I love zipping up a sexy dress, painting on some dramatic cat eyes, and slipping into some sky-high heels. But I also have those weekends when I am so burnt out, running from class to work to the gym, that I rather curl up in my pajamas and hide under the covers all weekend then spend an hour putting together an outfit. That's why I couldn't be more ecstatic that t-shirts are formal this fall. Whoever came up with this idea is a genius and my new favorite person. There are so many options (these tees are literally everywhere, which means you can find them in any price range), but my favorite is the Slub Cotton Crystal Necklace Tee from J Crew. It's ultra classy and chic, while still being unbelievably comfortable and wearable at the same time. Sure, the price tag is a little steep ($49.50 to be exact), but considering the amount of times I'm going to wear this thing (when I finally get my paws on it), it will be totally worth it. What makes it even better is that with this one addition to my wardrobe I have enough new outfit combos to get me through every weekend in fall. Click over to our friends at CollegeCandy for more!

    Casual But Chic Camp Shirts Are A Summer Staple

    This summer, camp shirts are popping up all over the place, from the traditional structured styles to sheer, more billowy ones. They have a collar and most are button-down, so tuck them into a great pair of wide-leg linen pants and throw on a pair of pumps to be office ready! Change into a flirty skirt and wedge sandals, or some skinny jeans and peep-toe stilettos and you'll look chic and fresh for any after-hours plans you may have. Very comfortable, completely versatile and sweetly sexy in that borrowed-from-the-boys kind of way, camp shirts are the perfect summer staple. They can even double as swim cover-ups! Check out the slideshow for some of my favorites from designers like Modern Amusement, Rag & Bone, American Eagle, and more!

    Since the Brazilian brand Havaianas in 2001 was introduced in the Netherlands there's a big hype created around the brand. Havaianas flip-flops are true must-haves for your summer wardrobe. And the flip-flops are available in all shapes and sizes! The new collection for Summer 2009 is unique and surprising. The range has grown in variety compared to previous years. The collection is characterized by warm and summery colors, with shades of purple and gold. You also see the latest trends of this season in the sandals, like natural motifs (animals and flowers), the Roman style (braids and straps) and slippers with a wedge heel. The prices vary from 12 to 50 Euros. Since the Summer of 2007, we consistently absolutely love Havaianas flip-flops. They are really nice to your feet and have a thick sole which makes them comfortable and flexible. These hot new designs make it even more tempting to go stock up on Summer essentials now!

    First dates are nerve-wracking in all kinds of ways. You're stressed if the guy will like you, if your hair is going to do that weird flippy thing it sometimes does, and most importantly, if your outfit is just right. Well, have no fear, for I have developed a guide to dressing for the occasion. These outfits are perfect for casual restaurants, movies, mini golf -- almost anytime! Remember to wear your most flattering jeans with this beaded tank from Banana Republic, and your outfit is sure to sparkle just as much as your eyes! Or for a cooler evening, pair this flirty ruffle wrap cardigan from Gap with white jeans or skinnies and boots for a great look! Personally, I think the best way to look cute and casually put together is by throwing on a cotton jersey dress and your favorite flats or sandals. Try this ruffle tube dress from Urban Outfitters, sure to hug your body in all the right places. Check out my slideshow for lots of casual first-date-fits!

    An essential piece to your spring and summer wardrobe is the white t-shirt. But not just any ol' one. White tees are cropping up with all sorts of beautiful embellishments from ruffles to ruched details. I love the fitted stylish look of this J.Crew slub cotton crossover v-neck tee ($38). Paired perfectly with jeans or a flowery spring skirt and you have an instant fresh wardrobe! For other alternatives, try an asymmetrical style with the one shoulder tee from TopShop ($32) or the comfy yet pretty rustled breeze top from Anthropologie ($68). Don't forget to check out Coquette for more hot spring finds!
