New York — Jennifer Aniston can surely teach you a lesson or two on how to work espadrilles into your summer look. This timeless summer accessory is here once again to add strong silhouette and some natural fibers  to your cropped pants or tee & shorts or mini dress.

White is a signature color of summer finding plenty of celebrity followers. Isn’t it time for you to add a splash of white to your summer outfit?

New York — Kate Hudson attended gala celebrating Chopard’s 150 years of excellence at The Frick Collection back on April (04/29/2010). Kate wore a purple silk dress and Casadei 4520 Natural Pumps.

What can we say – If everybody was this good looking, the world would’ve been the brighter place! LOL

This guy, you know who, inspired this feature! But seriously, we decided to elaborate on our earlier feature about tote bags. We skimmed the e-market until we found the few fine (and sometimes funny) looking graphic tote bags. Enjoy!

So, why tote? Well, Lady Gaga and her now one-of-a-kind-inscribed-by-Japanese-fans white Hermes Birkin bag kind of inspired us. We also love this shape revival for a number of reasons. First of all tote bag is a classic that you can use for years to come. Secondly it’s practical and will simplify your commute. Tote bag is also versatile – it will work for the office, picnic or evening.

Made from materials ranging from high-end luxurious leathers such as Hermes Birkin bag to LL Bean’s classic canvas, tote bags provide instant update to your look even if you want to skimp on everything else.

P.S. Spotted this Alexander McQueen tote at Zappos and couldn’t help but added it to this feature. Looks like a chic army sack, isn’t it?

With ever growing popularity of SHORTS more and more people style their shorts with an embellished blazer for more formal dressier nighttime/party look. Amanda Seyfried, Rachel Bilson, Gwyneth Paltrow, Demi Lovato and Chloe Sevigny dressed in shorts and blazer is just the tip of the iceberg!

So, we’ve came up with neat selection of shorts and blazers in contemporary fashion and high-end price range in case if you decide to try out this trend. Enjoy!

Wow! This is Lady Gaga’s white Hermes Brikin bag today:

And this is how it looked 12 days ago:

Military influences are hot, hot, hot this season, and we don’t see this trend going away any time soon! Today we wanted to focus on one of the emerging military trend spin-offs – skinny cargo pants. We see more and more women in SoHo and meat packing district in New York City wear skinny cargo pants. And contemporary brands are ready to meet fast growing demand. 

Skinny cargo pants is the perfect way to give your feminine side a bit of an edge! We love them dressed up with a pair of heels or cool combat lace up boots! You choose!

Jessica Alba, Khloe Kardashian, Hilary Duff, Ciara, Rachel Bilson and Gwen Stefani have in common J Brand Houlihan Skinny Cargo Pants in vintage olive ($230). Here’s another link for better size availability: J Brand Houlihan Skinny Cargo Pants ($230). This pant is also available in sand stretch denim: J Brand Houlihan Twill Cargo Pants ($231).

We also love other contemporary choices such as Vince Skinny Leg Cargo Pant from Pre-Fall 2010 Collection ($225 pre-order); Theory Jenai Pants ($150.50) or Theory Jenai Cropped Cargo Pants ($128.99); 7 For All Mankind Josefina Cargo Pant ($189); Alice + Olivia Distressed Skinny Leg Cargo Pant ($230 pre-order)

High-end fashion gave the world Balmain Cargo Destroyed Trousers ($1883.70), Balmain Washed Leather Cargo Trousers ($5817.60) and Balmain Chain-Insert Cotton Cargo Pants ($4705).

Hey, we just came across these photos of Jennifer Aniston taken in Los Angeles, CA in November 1998, and we though, whoa, we’ve got a déjà vu! Surely enough, we saw Jennifer look almost identical back in April 2009 while she was filming The Baster in New York City. She wore a tank top, sunglasses and red cargo pants! Check this out!

So, this is Jennifer Aniston’s favorite cargo pants surviving in her closet for 12 years! The pant is by British label Maharishi. It needs to stay alive for 8 more years to officially become vintage!

BTW: Madonna had the same Maharishi cargo pant back in 1998. Photo below shows Madonna at a Los Angeles AIDS Walk in January 1998. Dang!
