If I could attend one Summer soiree it would be the fabulous Serpentine Gallery's Summer party. It's not the biggest or the most star-studded, but it's a pretty cool spread and diverse, stylish crowd. Where else do Dasha Zhukova and Jamiroquoi's Jay Kay mingle? It looked like a lovely day in Kensington Gardens, and oh look — here's best fashion buds Thandie and Matthew Williamson. Curious to see inside the Serpentine? Step right up.

Celeb Style: Stephanie Pratt
Stephanie Pratt frolicked on the beach in San Diego looking fit in her yellow swimsuit. This unique one-piece was designed by Shay Todd, but unfortunately isn't available online in yellow (shop the black version on this page or the purple version here). The suit is a show-stopper, but add a few accessories to shine like Stephanie.

Will Allowing Sunday Shopping in France Make a Big Difference?
Any shopaholic who's been to France knows about the law which mandates that shops be closed on Sundays — unless they are located in tourist areas and sell food or books. President Nicolas Sarkozy is not so happy with this ban. "Is it normal that on a Sunday, when Madame Obama wants to go to the Paris shops with her daughters, I have to make phone calls to have them open?" he recently complained. Lawmakers are currently debating a proposed bill that asks to lift restrictions on Sunday trading. If it passes, the number of tourist areas could increase from the current 500 to 5,000, and all types of retailers can open their doors. Do you think allowing Sunday shopping in France would make a big difference?

Celeb Style: Kourtney Kardashian
Hopefully Kourtney Kardashian — who was seen out and about with her sister Kim in Los Angeles — didn't spill any of her drink, as she was rocking a lot of white. An oversize top, short shorts, and some fun accessories made her look both fun and seasonally appropriate. Shop a similar ensemble now.

Celeb Style: Ali Larter
Ali Larter worked her wardrobe on the set of Heroes in Los Angeles. The lovely color-block dress is a Jay Godfrey creation and it speaks volumes, so Ali kept the rest of her look rather simple. Shop the exact dress, and all the rest, now.

Trend Alert: Urban Safari
Just because a look is casual that doesn't mean it isn't party apropos. Sophia Bush graced the red carpet for the OP campaign launch party in a getup fit for an urban safari. And let's take a moment to admire her fit stems — nice. It's refreshing to see something utilitarian and cool, versus dolled up and decked. Because of her basics — army-green shorts, white tank, brown blazer — the outfit required some glam, which she delivered via sexy crisscross Miu Miu sandals, a cascading gold necklace, and dainty clutch. The right mix of casual and lady will lead you to your very own faboo urban safari. Safe travels!
