Last weekend I headed to Santa Cruz with the fam. We enjoyed the sun and roller coasters at the Beach Boardwalk, followed by a nice dinner. I was pretty worn out by dinnertime, but lucky for me, I had your help. I asked you to find a look that would do double duty from a day at the beach to a night on the town.

I started you off with this Forever 21 Straw Weave Rodeo Hat ($9). It's cute, cheap, and protected me from the sun.

Look #1, created by hil34, will take me from sun to dusk. Smart to choose a hands-free messenger bag!

You may be familiar with DSW's brick-and-mortar stores, but have you ever checked out their website? Think shoe outlet without the crazy atmosphere and long lines — sweet! And to top things off, they offer free shipping.

In high school, it's all about boys, popularity, and clothes. Yep, sounds about right. No movie portrayed that better than Clueless. In her most outstanding role, Alicia Silverstone played Cher, and along with her BF Dione, took newbie Tai under their wings and transformed her into one of the most coveted girls in school. All it took was a couple knee-high socks, short plaid skirts, platform pumps, and a Beverly Hills attitude. See, it's so easy to go from clueless to coolness. As if!

Blair returns from her trip abroad with a new beau and a new tote in tow. Here Blair really plays with her primary colors and what a fabulous way to do it. A little blue here (Lorick top, Vera Wang shorts, Delman heels), a dash of green there (Ferragamo tote), and a hint of red on the wrist. The color combination of the three colors is tres magnifique.

Serena attends the VitaminWater party in a vision of white and silver. Her stunning grecian inspired dress is by Oscar de la Renta. We're loving the silver strands she ties in her hair and let's hang loose below her neck. Serena completes the look with Moschino gold heels and a Ronni Simon pink pearl crochet bracelet. She looks fit for a wedding.

We've been crushing on newcomer Emma Stone lately but there's another cast member of The House Bunny that's looking good, too. Anna Farris appeared on MTV's TRL in a YAYA Aflalo strapless floral dress, a black boyfriend blazer, and some cool suede boots. Like her costar, Anna threw on gold bangles to give the look a glamorous undertone. It looks like these bunnies are shaping up to be quite the style mavens.
