Summer To Fall Finds for Vintage Fashionistas!

Mary Kincaid on Aug 7, 2009 8:28 AM PDT

When the sun's blazing and the air conditioner's blasting, lightweight summer sundresses hold great appeal. But if you can wrench your thoughts away from staying cool long enough to look at a calendar, you'll realize that Labor Day and back to school are just a few weeks away. And that means falling leaves and cooler temperatures won't be far behind. So while you're enjoying the remaining dog days of summer, you may want to trade your sun visor for a proverbial Fall thinking cap. Using your imagination, and a few layering devices like leggings, cardigans, long-sleeve tees and turtlenecks, you can easily transform summer dresses into go-to fall frocks. Just click the slideshow to see a selection of vintage dresses that make excellent presto change-o finds!

Get Your Stripe On, Go Nautical!

Anna Yu on May 11, 2009 1:19 PM PDT

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.

Teeny-bopper girls want to be her. Jonas Brothers want to date her. L.E.I. Jeans wants her to wear their clothes. 19-year-old Taylor Swift tops the charts on both pop and country lists alike with her sweet, original tracks, and now she's about to top your style wishlist, too. Back in the fall, Swift posed for L.E.I.'s back-to-school campaign, and now she's using her big name- yes, the one that Nielsen SoundScan said was 2008's biggest selling artist in America- to inspire the designs of L.E.I..'s new line, available only at Wal-Mart. The fresh styles in her ads sing summer fun, as Swift poses in the line's campaigns wearing super-short jean shorts, gladiator sandals and bright, sunny colors. Plus, they're economically friendly! (Thanks Taylor!) Take a peek at some of what's available- you shouldn't say no to these picks!

13 Warm Weather Dresses That Transition From Work to Play

Catherine on Apr 30, 2008 8:16 AM PDT

We wear dresses all year round, but the ones we put on during the winter just aren€™t as fun as the ones made for warmer weather, when scratchy wool finally gives way to soft, flowy, and feminine materials. And, unlike winter dresses, which seem to be either made for work or made for after-work, the dresses out now can go from the office to a bar just by taking off the sweater you wear to stay warm in your frigid, air-conditioned office. Click SEE SLIDESHOW for my favorite warm-weather dresses for work and beyond!
