I've had a love/hate relationship with palazzo pants. Admittedly, I haven't sported them since the early '90s, when my friends and I wore them with oversized knotted t-shirts and Doc Martins to a school dance, like a half-grunge uniform. The pant first emerged in the 1920s on fashionable women like Coco Chanel, who paired them with striped tanks and flat espadrilles. Jennifer Connelly's Read more
Before Kirsten Dunst hit the Cannes red carpet in her two respectively stunning looks, she boarded a plane at Heathrow in her pajamas. Well, not exactly — playing to the season's pajama-dressing trend in a silky Louis Vuitton pajama top and skinny black pants, she executed the chicest kind of comfortable travel style. We love that it's both a relaxed Summer look and a cheeky nod to the "don'ts" Read more
At this point, leopard print has become a mainstay in our wardrobes, but that doesn't mean it can't get a bit of a makeover with the arrival of a new season.

While Earth tones are the default color of choice, Read more

It's been a long time, like eight years, but there's still residual damage to my body Read more
Inspired by Lartigue's 1920s work, we're embracing the clean, sportif style — bold women in wide-leg pants and tanks, crisp one-piece swimsuits — that filled his photographs. It's like minimalism interpreted for the beach. How do you wear it this season? By finding clean silhouettes, natural textures, and minimal sailor details that relay beachy ease in the crispest way.

Last night we flocked to NYC's Lord & Taylor store for the launch of Zac Posen's exclusive Z Spoke dress line.

Read on for five things you probably didn't know about the ever-charming Zac Posen. Zac on the return of '90s fashion and his Read more
Madewell launched a massive road trip yesterday, using a vintage Airstream as a kind of nomadic pop-up shop to bring its awesome (we can personally vouch for this) denim to cities and college campuses from Boston to Seattle. We stopped by the Airstream yesterday morning to share coffee, donuts, and Spring shopping tips with Kin Ying Lee, the ever hospitable and eternally cool creative director of Read more
