    If there was one icon I could choose to dress exactly like, Princess Charlotte Casiraghi would be it. The girl has it going on - royal pedigree, killer style, and hey, she's an editor-in-chief of Above magazine. Her style can be described as classically tailored, yet with a flair for rock and roll details. Whether she's rocking skinny jeans and boots, and a gorgeous scarf, or making a public appearance in a fabulous black dress with lace detailing, she can make any outfit look spectacular. Having a busy day? Channel Charlotte and pick up your hair in a messy bun, and wrap a scarf like crazy around your neck over a simple t-shirt. Voila! You have a fabulous outfit... and didn't even have to wash your hair. Check out my slideshow for some style tips from the royal herself! Photo credit: PR Photos

    Influential International Style: Alexa Chung

    Sometimes, when you see a girl with seemingly effortless style that you know you would look ridiculous in, even if you were wearing literally the exact same clothes, it can make you jealous. Okay, maybe that's just me. But in the case of British model/television host Alexa Chung, it just makes you want to be her slightly less cool friend. Having modeled for the likes of Urban Outfitters, Antipodium and Vivienne Westwood, it figures that her style boasts eclectic choices as well as informed classics. Think mixing white t-shirts with fancy shorts and a simple tote bag, pairing it with messy hair and actually not looking insane. She takes experimental choices on red carpets, always, always dresses for her own body, and always looks comfortable in her own skin. Check out my slideshow for ways you can mimic the lovely Alexa Chung's style and maybe someone will want to be your slightly less cool friend!

    A few years ago, Tory Burch made tunics all the rage with her ethnic glam updates to the popular 60s style. Still a hot item, the loose fitting garment that flatters almost every body type is readily available in all different price ranges and materials. While an airy cotton version is a beach cover-up fave, a silk variation offers copious styling options. My friends at Red Light PR loaned me Puella€™s floral dress to show you how to work the tunic trend three ways. (Like what you see? Go to my hive for items that will help you mimic my looks!)

    Dear Stylediary: What Should I Pack for My Weekend Getaway?

    Vacations can actually be stressful. For every beachside resort there is a forgotten flip flop, and for every leisurely cruise there is a cross-terminal sprint. And let's not forget the most stressful part of all, which begins even before the vacation itself-- the packing process! Longer trips give us a bit more leeway in terms of outfit options and suitcase space, but those weekend getaways are a true test. After all, pack too much and you'll automatically be the high-maintenance one of the bunch, but pack too little and you could find yourself standing outside of the club, trying to convince the bouncer that yes, they are technically flip flops, but they're $500 and Prada, and thus are fit for the venue... an argument that you'd surely win, but one you could avoid altogether by simply clicking over to Stylediary where our West Coast Bureau Chief, Patricia Handschiegel, will lend her expertise to this age-old question.

    Design dilemmas, style standoffs, and now beauty blunders-- west coast editor Patricia Handschiegel can handle them all! This week's question is a tough one-- just how can we get our eyeliner to stay on and stay put? As a victim of the smudge effect myself (and I wouldn't exactly call it the sultry smoky eye effect either), I'm excited to see what she comes up with. After all, applying liner is no easy feat, so who wants to worry about where it's going when we're done? Click on over to Stylediary to see her answer, and let us know if you have tips and techniques that I-- I mean we-- can try!

    Dear Stylediary: What Should I Wear on Valentine's Day?

    Fact: West coast editor Patricia Handschiegel can pull an outfit together faster than we can say "Stylediary." Also a fact: A Valentine's Day date can throw off anyone's ability to put together a winning outfit, style skill level aside. So it's no surprise that this week's question is about how to look fab for a date on February 14th! As if finding an outfit for a "normal" date isn't difficult enough, along with Valentine's Day comes the pressure of pink, red, and Hallmark, all of which combine for one sweet but stressful occasion. Then there's the fact that the stores only tell us what we should be wearing after the date, but we'd like a few more ideas than that! Click on over to Stylediary and see what Patricia has to say!
