From France with lots of love

I snagged this 1990's? 1980's white-collared dress from the depths of the internet and am very pleased with it. I'm always down for a contrasted collar. It can be hard to ensure a good fit when shopping online, but I lucked out with this piece and it buttons up snug, flattering my figure. 

The weather wavers on the west coast and it may seem too hot for boots and capes right now, but that ocean breeze can be chilly! Layering is so key - I hate being too warm/too cold when I'm out and about all day, (or night!)

Lydia gave me these Topshop boots because she is the best ever. I wear them, at some point, almost every day. Fingers crossed they last long and enjoy many adventures!

I've been listening to the Lou Reed album Sally Can't Dance all weekend. He's one of my favourite musicians to listen to in the summertimes.

Hi everyone! As you can see, I'm back from France. Since today I'll leave the country again (and this time with hardly any time to go on the internet), I'm gonna show you a few outfits I created, all of them comfortable and chic enough for your vacations!

The reports of this trip and the one I did to France with the best boyfriend in the world will have to wait until I get back.Halter Prom Dress

Quanto a mim, estou a A-DO-RAR! Amanhã vamos ao Parque Asterix e o meu namorado quer obrigar-me a andar numa montanha russa com loopings! Desejem-me sorte!

Black & White.

A black and white combo is always classically good and for my second day in the city, I decided to keep it classic. We spent the whole day at the roof top #mangosummer pool party and afterwards we headed to the nearest Mango store so that we can help pick an outfit with our reader! Adriana, my winner/reader, was so much fun to shop with.. we went ahead and picked some staples that she needed for her wardrobe!Lace Prom Dresses

Since we did a lot of walking, I knew I wanted to be comfortable (as always) so I switched out my heels for my trusty ol’ Cons. I love how laid-back yet cool it makes the rest of my outfit.. kind of imperfect.view more

Hola from sunny Barcelona! I arrived two days ago and it’s been an incredible experience thus far. I flew in to hangout with my lovely friends over at Mango for their 3-Day #MangoSummer experience where they invited 5 bloggers ( all my friends!: Nicole, Zanita, Gala and Sabrina) to enjoy Barcelona, experience summer, check out their newest collection and play dress up, attend a cool pool party they threw, go paddle board surfing, have fancy dinners, take sushi cooking lessons, get manicures by OPI and more! I mean, they really outdid themselves from last year (when I went to Ibiza with them!)

The best surprise though was that each one of us was going to be able to bring along one of our readers! We held a contest on our instagram and all they had to do was submit an email on why they wanted to go barcelona with me, it was that easy. We got tons of emails so it was hard to pick one but we each narrowed it down to a couple each and finally picked one for each of us to join us on this fun 3-day summer experience with Mango!view more

Love is in the air…the weather is warm..and the flowers are in full bloom. One trend that’s hot this summer is lighter or pastel colors. As much as you may want to rock it because it’s summer time, steer clear from ivory or white; Rule #1 of attending a wedding is don’t wear the same color as the bride! You can only get away with wearing white if it has some kind pattern or floral print. Short dresses are always fun choices; just make sure that it’s not too short because you don’t want to be too revealing and upstage the bride.

The gorgeous dresses below are a perfect example of short numbers that you can wear to a semi-formal summer wedding. The aqua dress below by Mori Lee (style 9242) has a beautiful lace texture that gives it a formal look and length that’s just right for the occasion. The same holds true with the length on the second dress by Blush (Knee Length Prom Dresses). We are obsessed with the unique design on the skirt and the color is so chic on this dress!view more

Let’s pause the tech-talk for a moment, and switch to a time-tested metaphor. Your domain is like your street address. When someone wants to visit your house, they pop your address into Google Maps, follow the directions, and arrive at your doorstep. Your home, on the other hand, is like your hosting provider. It is where your store all of your things: your books, your clothes, your photo albums. If your mayor one day knocked on your door and said, “We’re changing your street name from Main Street to Broadway,” your house would remain the same, but your address would change. Makes sense, right?

Your hosting provider is like your house; it’s where your store all of your website’s files.

Like your home, your hosting provider is where you store your website’s files. It’s where you keep your posts and pages, your photographs and comments. You can move to a different hosting provider, just like you can move all of your belongings from one house to another.

Your domain registrar and your hosting provider do not have to be the same company. For many people, it is more convenient to keep all website costs in one place by buying their domain and hosting their site through a single company. Others may have chosen to move their site, but keep their domain registration at their current registrar: for these people, their site is registered and hosted through two separate companies.view more

Going Dutch: Cheerleaders, gimp-suits and Edith Sitwell at Amsterdam’s Lichting 2013

I’m at Lichting – which is a Dutch initiative, and a crafty one, showing the very best fashion High Low Prom Dresses graduates of seven Dutch academies in a single catwalk show. I was asked to be one of the judges on the panel, and I approached it with some apprehension. After all, despite knowing a number of Dutch designers’ work, and some designers personally (Viktor and Rolf being the most famous, and former Fashion East-ers Michael van der Ham and Maarten van der Horst the most recent), I must confess I don’t have a grasp on the concept of “Dutch fashion”.

Van der Horst was a fellow panel-member, and as a Dutchman vehemently argued it didn’t exist – at least, not in the way we recognise Dutch design, that stripped-down, pared-back feeling with lotsa elm and those spindly tapered legs you see everywhere in east London. And plenty other places besides. Mid-century Dutch has become twenty-first century cool. But is there a fashion equivalent?

Despite van der Horst’s arguments, the whole concept of Lichting seems to be to unite Dutch academies and fight for the country’s relevance in a crowded fashion Halter Prom Dress market. It’s also, obviously, an incentive for students to excel. They get a global audience for their work, and also €10,000 to do whatever they wish with. The prize is awarded at BA level, so the assumption is many will use it to fund an MA, rather than as seed material for a business.view more

Fearne Cotton seems to have caught a bit of the post-baby ‘pinks’ by dying her hair  and posting it to fans on Instagram and Twitter. The 31-year-old appears to be clinging on to the vestiges of her twenties, having previously tweeted when she dyed her hair the same hue last year: “May have had my hair dyed light pinkish. One day left of my 20s. Had to do it.”

The TV presenter evidently knows how to pull in the pundits, posting “pink to make the boys wink” and “Candy floss boss” after her two photos, which together have been favourited over 4,000 times. Never underestimate the power of pink dye… Does anyone else think she looks a bit like LiLo in this photo?view more

Dave Ramsden, the chief economic adviser to the Treasury, looked back on the Labour government’s decision in June 2003 to stay out of the euro, at a meeting last month of the Mile End Group at Queen Mary, University of London, to mark the 10th anniversary.

I have only just caught up with his lecture, posted here. It adds some important texture to the historical record. It confirms my reading of that episode: that it was not an artificial or casual operation by Gordon Brown to block Tony Blair. It was a thorough effort that came to a dispassionate conclusion: that adopting the euro was not in the British economic interest. Ramsden said:view more

Savills have been crunching lots of student accommodation numbers and produced an interesting report which includes their suggestion that around 66,000 homes for families could be made available if more was invested in new purpose-built student housing.

“Two-thirds of this unlockable family housing stock is in the top 25 towns and cities across England and Wales,” say the report’s authors, “where student demand and housing shortages are concentrated. Freeing up 66,000 homes would create demand for up to 260,000 student beds, opening up opportunities for developers and investors.”

They also suggest the best places to invest in student housing which “offer the strongest demand for accommodation” are Bath, Brighton, Bristol, Cambridge,Cardiff, Edinburgh, London, Oxford, and St Andrews.view more

Check Out Reese Witherspoon's Fourth of July Nails, Then Share: What Does YOUR Mani Look Like Today?

The It Girls are out in Paris for Couture Week, so obviously Olivia Palermo is on the scene. She already hit the Dior front row decked out in the fashion house's designs, but the most fun is seeing what she's wearing out during her free time wedding dresses uk.

And the red-carpet/front-row regular does not disappoint. While taking a stroll with her hunky model boyfriend, Johannes Huebl, she looks amazing and right at home in chic Pah-ree in a silky leopard-print button-down shirt and summery crisp white A-line skirt. Her choice of accessories was breezy and effortless: neutral cutout sandals, a turquoise blue purse for a flash of color, and a jewel-encrusted belt—which she recycled from her on-duty outfit at the Dior show. Love seeing stars repeat pieces!

Happy Fourth of July! Hopefully you're all are settled into a long weekend full of friends, fun, and relaxation. (Plus, you already have your nonliteral red, white, and blue outfits planned out, right?) If not, take some inspiration from Diane Kruger, who was spotted in a chilled-out, sporty ensemble that's ideal for a celebratory weekend.

The skilled dresser took her distressed black Big Star USA cutoffs and classic checkered Vans up a notch with a sporty laser-cut, zip-front jacket (so much chicer than a go-to hoodie or track jacket, you know?) and a gray plush leather handbag. And her red-frame sunglasses and colorful straw hat inject some summer fun into the edgy city-girl mix. Great for a walk on the beach, dining alfresco on the boardwalk, or chilling with friends at a backyard barbecue.

Ladies, I meant to go get a pre-Fourth of July mani-pedi yesterday. I really, really did. But it didn't happen, and this pic of Reese Witherspoon out and about in L.A. is making me feel even worse about my oversight.

Reese's combo of a classic bright red manicure and an equally bright blue top proves just how easy it is to get festive with a little help from nail polish. But I suspect that some of you have gone a little jazzier and more daring with your Fourth of July nails. Do tell: What manicure/pedicure are you wearing right now? Or do you plan to redo your nails before fireworks tonight? Tell us below!
