With Paris Couture Week kicking off Monday, July 6, we've got a special something to get you ready. We're super jazzed to see the latest creative offerings from houses like Chanel, Jean Paul Gaultier, Lacroix, Armani Prive, Valentino, Christian Dior, and more. But we also consider ourselves to have the discerning eye that can distinguish the fine art of couture from every day, though no less fabulous, ready-to-wear. Can you tell the difference? Do you have the eye of the tiger? Play our style skill game and prove it to me.
One of our favorite androgynous models, Freja Beja Erichsen, has been selected as the new face of J Brand. True, she sports fancy clothes on the catwalk, but since her street style is laid-back cool, this partnership makes sense. "We wanted people to look at the campaign and feel a sense of lightness and freedom," said Susie Crippen, cofounder and creative director. And Freja delivered just that with her wild leap and fits-like-a-glove jeans. Do you dig J Brand's Fall muse?

Splish splash — I attended a super-fun pool party last weekend. Finding a splashy outfit is simple but the twist(er) was my parents were also in attendance. That's why I needed you to help me find a cute ensemble that wouldn't offend the elders. Don't get me wrong, the 'rents are cool, but there was no need to have my goodies hanging out amongst friends and fams. I started you off with this rad Free People Tie-Dye Beach Tote ($98); I adore the wavy print and extra-large shape.
Let's see my favorite looks!
Look #1, created by barbiesugar, incorporates cool colors; I also love the raffia fedora.
Project Runway winner, Leanne Marshall, has unveiled her collection for Bluefly and it looks just as yummy as her final PR collection. Her femme, yet futuristic cuts, are amazing and I love the vibrant hues of pink, purple, and blue. Do you hear the whispers? That majestic tiered skirt is calling my name. Not only is this collection beautiful, it's eco-friendly as well — awesome. Leanne's creations, priced from $98 to $990, will be available July 8 at www.Bluefly.com/leanne.

Reese Witherspoon threw together a bohemian chic ensemble for an afternoon of shopping in LA. She casually paired an ikat miniskirt with a plain white tank and beige cardigan, while her gladiator sandals tied in nicely with her beaded necklace and cross-body Marni purse.

WHY WE LOVE IT Moss proves that even a classic LBD can be a standout with personal style touches like a slouchy bag and towering pumps. Make a versatile cowl-neck dress your own by adding wardrobe favorites like a skinny belt and fitted blazer for the office, a denim jacket and gladiators for the weekend, or chandelier earrings and sexy sandals for after dark.
