Feeling the summer season

While browsing shopbop I came across these Tory Burch espadrille ballet flats and I'm loving them!!

C'est parfait pour la mer!

Sorry Mischa, but we're going to have to give you a what not to wear for this outfit. With her figure, she should not be wearing such high waist-ed jeans and in this yellow color. It's accentuating all of her worst areas on her body.

Instead, Mischa should have tried a pair like the Rag & Bone skinny jean below.

Have you festivalized yourself yet?

Hope all you festival goers didn't forget that H&M's Fashion Against AIDS line is officially out! We're trying to make our way to the H&M in Chicago to purchase some of the line. Support them for HIV/AIDS awareness! 25% of proceeds goes to the awareness project (plus the line is to die for!!)

Trench coats, Riding coats, and animal print accessories

Burberry Prorsum takes a darker look on Resort 2011 looks. As with Bottega Veneta, they have created a lot of looks with black garments. And for the first time for this seasons resort looks, I'm seeing fur coats. Every look came with either a riding coat or a trench coat and an animal print accessory whether that be a belt, purse, or a pair of knee-high boots. I'm really loving all of their riding coats, especially in the navy color they came out with.

Burberry definitely took a colder approach to their resort collection, whereas Chanel's was mostly focused on beach wear. Burberry has created more of a winter vacation resort collection.

Vogue does Blake

Blake Lively is stunning in Vogue's June issue. The California beach babe really stayed true to her roots in this shoot. I'm disappointed with the rest of the issue, but it's worth it to buy it to see Lively.

Huggies goes denim

This can't be real! Huggies just debuted their new "denim" diapers. They're not made of real denim but have a design to make it seem like they are. They're still disposable like the regular diapers and are only available for a limited time. Honestly, I think it's a great idea. It's way more stylish for a baby to be walking around in these diapers than the plain white ones or the Disney princess diapers. Would you style your baby in these diapers?

TOMS really sparkles

A girl at work was rocking these the other day and I think they're fantastic! We've blogged about how awesome TOMS Shoes are before, but seriously, if you don't have a pair yet you need to get one. I have seen these everywhere in Chi-town and plus they help kids in need. Love love love these new sparklies!

Bling Bling is a TOMS thing

Bottega Veneta does black for Resort 2011

To me, resort wear means white and light colors but Bottega Veneta took a bold step this season with turning resort wear into fierce black cruise wear. Going along with their fall collection, the line is full of bold pieces for today's woman.

Our faves from amfAR's Cinema Against AIDS Gala

I seriously die over Lady Gaga's creativeness. She blows me away every time I see photos of her at a new event. I mean honestly, how does she even think of this shit?
