PRETTY PLEATS

This vintage skirt combines two sweet trends, accordion pleats - as were shown on the spring runways of Lanvin, Elie Tahari, and Calvin Klein - and spring florals. What else can you add to your favorite floral skirt? How about an unexpected menswear vest in a neutral color? Somehow it works. The top is H&M, and the vest is Alice Temperly for Target.

EVENING

We've decided to share two red carpet evening looks we're liking lately. The first is the actress Paz Vega at the 2011 Shanghai Film festival proving that modesty can be all out glamorous with long sleeves and sequins. The seconds is Drew Barrymore wearing Chanel in a simply effortless yet elegant evening look. We are adoring the skirt and think the length is pitch perfect for a summer evening out.

SUMMER STAPLE

Ahh, the denim cut-off. What would summer be without our favorite cut-off's? We favor cut-offs that actually look like you cut your favorite jeans into shorts, whether you actually did or not, so that they hug your body like your favorite jeans. Here, we decided to dress the shorts up a bit with a vintage blouse, chain shoulder bag and heels from Forever 21.

THE NEW SHIFT

The shift dress has a new shape - loose and boxy. Designers like Stella McCartney and Calvin Klein featured this shape beautifully on their spring runways. The new shift feels modern, urban and minimalist. We prefer crisp, clean, black accessories to play up the clean shape of this shift dress. Dress H&M, bag and heels Forever 21.

GUCCI INFLUENCE

Brilliant jewel tones from the Gucci Spring 2011 runway inspired this pairing of cobalt and emerald. We used gold accessories, as they did at the Gucci show, to help set all the color off and to lightly reference the 70's Disco Era. Skirt and silk blouse are vintage, necklace is H&M, heels Nine West.

SIMPLICITY

Simplicity - white summer jeans, striped top, gladiator sandals and straw hat all worn under a brilliant Mexican sun. Ahhh, Summer.
