They're ideal for the transition to warmer days and they work just as well at the office as they do on weekends - need we say more?

Reese Witherspoon stopped by a Beverly Hills office building yesterday before moving on to Vanessa Bruno's Melrose Avenue boutique, where she browsed the French designer's current collection and left with a few new items. Reese was solo for her shopping trip but spent the weekend hanging out with her husband, Jim Toth, and family. She also was one of the select few who joined Kate Middleton and Prince William at the Tusk US Patron's Circle reception on Sunday morning. Reese has been enjoying her break from the big screen and her life as a newlywed recently. Despite some time off, Reese is still among the highest-paid actresses in Hollywood. Reese is next slated to produce and star in Who Invited Her?, a comedy that would feature her as a bachelor-party crasher.
