resort round-up 2

let's get a couple of very serious fashion mistakes out of the way before we move onto this dream world where this kind of fashion is actually applicable to anyone in Miami. Like Julie Andrews says in The Sound of Music (really?... did I just write that?) "let's start at the very beginning."
1.) panty lines are always bad, but they are worse when wearing white jeans, the ultimate summer staple. It should go without saying, even though I'm going to say it anyway, that you also shouldn't wear neon green, pink, blue, red or purple underwear under white pants.
2.) nip slips are always bad. Side boob is sometimes good. (you girls know what I mean... those AA tanks look great with a cool lacy bra, tiny bikini tops are a danger zone)
3.) don't wear boots, chunky scarves (silk are totally allowed), or even jeans on days that it's the Sahara outside. It makes people uncomfortable to look at you.

Do you have more basic fashion rules you feel like people don't follow? Send them in. It would be great to do a reader round-up post.

and now... on to the main event:
Chloe.
If only we could remember to start at the very beginning, wear neutral shades in flattering cuts and designs, use our plain brown sandals with every outfit and dress it up in espadrilles.

 
 
You can always count on Valentino for a cute cocktail frock. I personally love Valentino because he loves pugs and the color red, and so do I, but there's more to love than just that, these flower embellished fancy little dresses are divine, skanky and fashion-forward. They're ordered easiest to wear to hardest to wear from right to left.

Chloe Sevigny is the coolest. Not only does she design for Opening Ceremony, but she plays the chicest looking Mormon on television, has shaved her head, is in a ton of indie films and her brother ran the Beatrice Inn in New York. Are you getting the cool vibe yet? If not, maybe you aren't cool (now that wasn't very nice of me). I'm actually not crazy about this look-book because she looked far more stellar in the Chloe perfume ads she did and with those Big Love braids, but check it out for yourself. Leopard mini dress? Puhleeze.
