    Striped Tees And Accessories Make Looking Chic A Snap!

    If you took a peek inside my closet, you'd notice two main things: a stack of little/medium/big brown bags that I should probably hide, and an abundance of stripes- striped tees, striped cardigans, striped sweaters, and maybe even a striped scarf or two. Needless to say I'm convinced you can never really have too many striped pieces, and as far as versatile classics go, stripes are easily my favorite. Whether you go for an original nautical staple from Saint James or a contemporary update from Splendid, a well-fitting striped top is the easiest route to chic simplicity and really couldn't be more effortless. If patterned tops aren't really your thing, a striped handbag is equally stylish -- an iconic hobo from Bendel's is playful and luxurious to boot. Feeling adventurous? Pair your stripes with another print, like florals (a la this look snapped by Garance Dore). See more striped tees and accessories in my slideshow!

    Nifty Nautical Finds For Vintage Fashionistas

    You may remember from elementary school history that Magellan was the first person to circumnavigate the globe and it was quite the feat. He started his voyage with 280 men and five ships on September 1519 and arrived back in port almost three years later with only one ship and 18 crew members remaining. But does anyone know the name of the first woman to circumnavigate the globe? That distinction belongs to Krystyna Chojnowska-Liskiewicz, who completed her journey in 1976 in only 401 days. Oh, and she did it solo! Of course, not all of us have the drive for adventure and the bravery required for such daring-do. But if you don't see a personal yacht in your future, don't despair. You can still embrace the spirit of sailing with these nifty nautical finds. Just click the slideshow to see the selection!

    Get Your Stripe On, Go Nautical!

    The nautical look isn't exactly new, but while trends are all well and good, there's a reason some things are always in style. Fresh and smart, the navy-and-white-stripe combo exudes effortless chic. A summer staple, here are some picks to add to your wardrobe.


    1. A teeny-weeny, striped bikini is an easy way to get your toe into the water as far as all things stripey are concerned. Make sure your lines aren't too thick, and you'll be good to go.
    2. We love Gap's bow-toed skimmers. They give you a hint of sailor and look adorable with dresses, shorts, and jeans alike.
    3. Everyone needs sweet sundresses for summer, and we suggest one that comes in three different colors, a flattering shape, and sea-ready appeal. Try it with the Gap flats, and you'll be the prettiest sailor around.

    New York Fashion Week Runway: Rubin Singer's Spring 2009 ...

    Stripes, polka dots, and prints. Navy, white and ecru. Asymmetry, panels and piping. Rubin Singer's Spring 2009 Collection at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week was a celebration of contrasts. And if you didn't get it by seeing the collection, Singer drove it home by backing his show with the thumping dance hit "Hip Hip Tension." In a lesser designer's hands fusing disparate elements like this would have spelled disaster. Singer carries it off, especially in his cocktail dresses. Take a look at the slideshow from the runway.

    The vest is back and what a fun little piece of clothing! So many ways to wear it...so many styles to choose from...so many moods to create. Unless you're planning on a knitted version with bells and snowmen, it's pretty hard to go wrong. And with cuts for every type of figure, from buxom to petite, there's a figure-flattering vest out there for any shape or size. Originally introduced by Charles II of England way back in the 1600s, the recent menswear revival puts vests front and center for the next few months. And the good news is that vintage vests are plentiful and, quite often, inexpensive. Just click the SLIDESHOW for some inspiration!
