Tory Burch S/S 09

You, like me, probably have one of these adorable fedoras in your closet and never know what to wear it with. Thank you Tory Burch for the answer! Cute belted print dress, cardie, high sandals, and the hat! The crucial step is clashing leather colors, i.e. brown belt with the black clothes, so it doesn't look too matchy-matchy.

Three As Four S/S 09

This look is totally achievable with stuff you already have from American Apparel. You just layer a sheer white tee over a metallic tank and pair with a white skirt. Looks totally ethereal in white but you can probably rock it in other colors. Like gray or dark blue, not like pink or gold. You decide if you actually want to go so far as to grab a needle and thread and do that scruchy thing on the bottom of the skirt.

Rock n Republic S/S 09

OK, Mom, will you please buy me this for my prom dress? I promise to wear it at least ten times, so much cheaper in cost per wear than a crappy polyester thing I'll never wear agin, right? Right?

Rebecca Taylor S/S 09

See what happens when you pair that cheesy blazer you weren't wearing anymore and a somewhat clashing print dress with some SICK open booties!

Nanette Lepore S/S 09

Again, cheesy blazer plus floral dress plus cute accessory (in this case the awesome necklace you can probably make out of any number of materials from a craft shop), equals fashion magic. Note the cute little side braids- a favorite weekend hair look of mine.

Miss Sixty S/S 09

This is what the coolest nerdy girl in school rocks at the library. Crazy plaids, belted skirt with cute tee shirt, amazing ruffled handbag, and sunglasses to hide the study-induced undereye bags... could be me!

Miss Sixty S/S 09

Love this look! adorable tank dress with silk screening, which you could probably even do yourself if you were really industrious and had a longish tak dress you don't wear anymore. Love the little vest with it that makes it slimmer, loooove the hair. Dark, bangs, smooth, it's a cooler spin on Cali girl glam.

Miss Sixty S/S 09

Nicole Richie, Is that you? OK, this could be really cute with a bikini top. But without? Not so much.

Miss Sixty S/S 09

I think this is really cute, here is the bikini top we were looking for- and that's a great dress- which I think could be shorter. Again, you could do this yourself- you can even silkscreen pics of your peeps or favorite stars.

Lela Rose S/S 09

This is the glammest take on shorts ever. Love the shine, love the color combinations, love the cool necklace and the classic little jacket.

Lela Rose S/S 09

Love the weird clashing tank and plaid shorts with the dressy sandals. Everyone owns stuff like this, we just don't ever think of combining it, and it looks great!

Lacoste S/S 09

This is a fun Coppertone baby-era retro romper thingie like our mom made us wear when we were five, but combined with the crazy glasses and the fun attitude, someone out there might be able to pull it off. Let me know. And if you don't want to pay Lasote prices I'll bet American Apparel sells this exact piece.
