Dree Hemingway

All the bits that are fit to print — here, in our daily news roundup.

At the Hamptons International Film Festival screening of The Girl, Dree Hemingway's look was a testament to why she's a girl with style we always want to steal. Outfitted in a mix of menswear staples and a girlier Miu Miu skirt, she perfected the early Fall uniform that's both classic and really, really cool. Here's how it's done:

• The trick to pulling off this mix is keeping it easy and balancing borrowed-from-the-boys essentials with feminine flair. Start with a crewneck knit and loafers or brogues, then look for a piece that feels just a little flirty on bottom.
• The skirt is an essential part of pulling the whole thing together and crafting that boy-meets-girl balance. Trousers aren't going to lend the same girlie feel to offset your basics, but a skirt with more personality will. Look for a full miniskirt, like Dree's, with a sweet all-over print, whether it's florals or polka dots.
• We love that Dree's look provides a great basic outfit formula that you can dress up or down. If you want to take the look to the next level, try a brocade, metallic, or sequined skirt against your knit top, then finish it off with tights for colder nights. You can also add another layer to further the menswear styling play with a fitted blazer, or pop on a leather jacket for an edgier contrast.

We may not be heading back to class this Fall, but we're admittedly preoccupied with the wardrobe shift it inspires. One look at Dree Hemingway sporting one of our favorite style combos in a sweet Marc Jacobs Resort '13 dress and sneakers set off our latest styling obsession. The model/actress's take on classic kicks and a ladylike day dress (while adorable for her Starlet photocall) would pretty much pass any back-to-school dress code with flying colors. Not only are we obsessed with its charming-cum-cool vibe, but also the fact that it's just the kind of thing that'll, um, weather the seasonal transition to Fall perfectly with maybe a denim jacket tossed over our shoulders and an old-school cruiser to ride down the leaf-lined streets. OK, all collegiate nostalgia aside, this look is just as well-suited for a pulled-together off-duty style or a laid-back office atmosphere. Even if you're not returning to campus, it's worth taking notes from Dree.

Celebrities have been spotted working florals all over the globe, but now they're embracing a new nature-inspired print: palm trees. Carly Rae Jepsen donned a palm-print blazer and matching shorts by Lisa Ho at the 2012 Teen Choice Awards, Kate Bosworth worked a nature-inspired H&M dress ($24) with ankle-strap sandals in LA, while Dree Hemingway paired a Proenza Schouler palm tree tee with gray flare denim in NYC. As you can see, this California-cool print adds playfulness to any ensemble, so shop our favorite palm-print pieces to hop on the latest Hollywood trend.
