Modernist Summer Essentials from Orla Kiely for Uniqlo!

Orla Kiely's beautiful patterns remind me of Eames-era mid-century upholstery fabrics, sure to capture the hearts of graphic designers everywhere! Her collaboration with Uniqlo has these happy patterns transposed onto T-shirts, tank tops, scarves and dresses. My faves are the stoles for $12.90, perfect to add a little pop of color and graphic modernism to a simple white T and jeans. Or, slip on one of the tank dresses, pictured in the background for $39.90, with your strappy sandals and wide-brimmed hat, for a perfect BBQ outfit. Unfortunately, UNIQLO doesn't have e-commerce, so you'll have to dash over to your local UNIQLO to purchase.

Streetstyle in Shanghai: Sheer's All The Rage!

Streetstyle is the beating heart of fashion, and it's the place that trends take root. My blogger friend is roaming around Asia, and she promised to take a few candid shots along her journey. She says that sheer's the rage right now on the streets of Shanghai, and she's seeing lots of long, sheer skirts layered over shorter skirts, creating the effect you see in this photo. I've seen this look on the streets of NYC as well; maybe a hint of things to come this summer? Check out Cori's blog, Farflungistan.com, for some amazing photos of Shanghai, and also of her recent trip to Iran!

Bridal Gowns Under $500 For The Bride About To Elope!

It's almost the end of May and for brides on the verge of "I Do", mired in the stress of wedding preparations, eloping to a faraway, romantic place must have crossed their minds--at least once! But for those itinerant brides who would prefer to spend their hard-earned cash on two plane tickets to the Maldives, here are some chic and affordable options. Packability is of utmost importance, considering that you'll either roll it--not fold it--in white tissue paper and lay it amongst your clothes in your suitcase, or, you can purchase a water repellant bridal gown hanging bag, which should garner you the well-wishes of the flight attendants on board who might--just might--let you hang it up front in the little hanging closet in first class. A simple flowing, unstructured gown is your best bet--since you won't have a bevy of bridesmaids to help you get dressed! But there's no need to sacrifice style; shoot for effortlessly undone! Here's the lineup, from left to right:
Avery Asymmetrical Dress, $168.00 from BCBG Max Azria;
Embroidered, Sequined Long Dress, $47.99 from FairWindsSarongs;
Bettina Bridal Gown, $475.00 from J.Crew;
Alice Mixed-Lace Cocktail Dress $248.00 from BCBG Max Azria;
