I Love Your Shopstyle: Easy Breezy
In celebration of the warming weather and clear skies, aurora239 put together a folksy yet funky ensemble. I adore her easy breezy outfit. Notice how the light color palette lends a natural, bohemian vibe while provocative booties and sharp accessories vamp up the sexy factor. Perfect for the uptown beach girl.
Style Glossary: Ripstop
Ripstop
Woven fabrics, often made out of nylon, that use a special reinforcing technique that make them very resistant against tearing and ripping. During weaving, reinforcement threads are interwoven at regular intervals in a crosshatch pattern in the fabric. The main advantage of ripstop fabrics is that smaller tears and rips can't easily spread further in the fabric.
These Free People Ripstop Shorts ($98) are made using the ripstop technique and thus are highly durable.

Celebrity Style: Kelly Osbourne
Kelly Osbourne celebrated Elton John's birthday in Hollywood over the weekend. She stayed true to her rocker side by wearing a leather motorcycle jacket but added a dash of glam via a body-hugging green animal-print dress. I've noticed Kelly loves to accessorize — she did so with a white beaded necklace, black rimmed glasses, stacked bangles, and a kitchy bag. She made it work with just enough funk and the right amount of sexy.
