I've just returned from a whirlwind trip to paradise — also known as Bali — and while the memory is fresh, it's time to impart some packing tips and styling cues for your own Bali-bound adventures. The most important thing to remember: keep it light. With Bali's tropical climate, endless beaches, and lush forests and rice paddy fields, you'll want to ensure that you stay cool and comfortable while enjoying the gorgeous terrain. Opt for sportier slip-on espadrilles and flats over cute summery wedges because the unpaved roads can be unforgiving. Lightweight, natural fabrics (like worn-in cotton and linen) work best in the heat, and you'll benefit from keeping a chic cover-up or maxi dress on hand — especially if you find yourself in one of Bali's many sacred Hindu temples, where a little modesty is required. If you're all about surf, sand, and sun, then plan on practically living in your bikini. Translation: invest in a swimsuit you love and that can be worn again and again.

We were more than surprised to see baseball caps popping up on the Spring 2012 runways; after all, they have a tendency to say "bad hair day" rather than "hot new fashion trend." It was a look we spotted in and around the tents on editors and style insiders, as well as on the catwalk at Karen Walker, Kenzo, and Alexandre Herchcovitch, who produced his pretty embellished caps with big-time hatmaker New Era. Whether you're repping your favorite team like Dree Hemingway, going absolutely old-school with logos, or sporting a cap with cool prints or patterns, there are a multitude of stylish caps that are perfect for pairing with jeans and dresses alike — not to mention a fun spin on Spring's sportif trend. Get some serious inspiration, plus shop 11 of our favorite fashionable baseball caps when you click through now.

You might have a drawer overstuffed with a million t-shirts or shelves cluttered with dozens of printed blouses, but when it comes to tops, less is more as long as you've stocked up where it counts. Sure, it's fun to take every trend for a test-drive, but with limited closet space, we've made it a point to eke out only the essentials — and if you do it right, you can get by with just 11 tops. We started with the traditional basics and made room for the necessary new additions, but inside, you'll find every blouse and tee you need to stock your closet from the workweek through the weekend, season after season. Consider this your guide to a foolproof top and t-shirt wardrobe.

As the weather heats up, celebs embrace sunny staples including flirty skirts, cutoff shorts, and resort-like espadrilles. Busy Philipps styled her two-tone Lanvin espadrilles with a bold tropical dress in Beverly Hills, Alexa Chung wore her classic espadrilles with a not-so-classic denim overall dress, and Krysten Ritter chose a pair by Aldo to complement her floral Dolce & Gabbana dress in Las Vegas. Espadrilles work well with everything from dresses and skirts to jeans and shorts, so see which other trendsetters have been rocking the Summer trend, then shop a few pairs for yourself.

Jessica Alba is definitely a style chameleon, but as of late, we've noticed that she's been sticking to one shoe in particular: Jenni Kayne's pointy d'Orsay flats. She has them in pink suede and chambray and has worn them on several occasions. First, Jessica sported her chambray pair with a peach blazer and skinny jeans while exiting her office in Santa Monica, then she donned them to a birthday party with a denim top and plaid skirt, and later she wore her pink suede pair with paisley pants and a matching scarf.
