What's New at Life & Style? Couture in the City Fashion Blog

What's new this week at Life & Style? You can bet that they have pin pointed the hottest trends that your stars are rockin' this summer so you know what's in. It is my happy duty to report that nautical stripes are still on trend, but you don't have to limit yourself to navy blue. Vanessa Minillo was seen wearing a red and white striped tank with cut-off jean shorts and looks ready for the Fourth of July!

Okay, so you have a hundred pairs of dangly earrings and four or five pairs of sunglasses (white frames from last season, classic Jackie O's, avaitors, Wayfarers from this season) but maybe it has never dawned on you to make sure that your styles in eyewear and earwear match. Really, think about it...wayfarers with diamond drop earrings? I don't think so. Life & Style shows you how celebs perferctly balance their bling and their UV protection which staying trendy and chic.

Who got it right? Life & Style poses this question to show you just how versatile fashion really is. It always amazes me how two different celebs can put their own spin on a piece and make it look so different. This weeks' standout to me was the red peep toe shoe face off between the ex-Mrs. Manson, Dita Von Teese, and Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham. To me, red peep toe heels with an ankle strap are just more appropriate on a 1940's rockabilly burlesque dancer than a former pop star.

Sunscreen, towel, impressively intelligent beach read...check, check and check! If you are heading out to catch some rays this summer, then don't pass up the chance to get yourself a totally cute beach bag (and a cute cover up for that matter, for Pete's sake Kiki Dunst, get rid of the flannel and use a pareo!). For me, it's wicker and natural weave totes all the way...it's just so reminiscent of the islands. Check out Life & Style for more info on where to get the hottest selling bags.

The stars are coming out dressed to the nines to walk the red carpet at Cannes and Life & Style has picked the winners! Well, the most fashionable winners anyway...at Cannes, it seemed to be that a little bit of shimmer, a simple color and a great cut made for a fabulous frock. A standout among the crowd? Angelina Jolie's yellow Emauel Ungaro dress is so fresh for summer, and a great change for Jolie, who usually opts for darker colors.

Just when I was about to donate my denim skirt from a few years ago to charity...they're baaack. Like almost every style in the revolving door of fashion, jean skirts are constantly on again and off again. While most stars like Reese Witherspoon are saving their jean skirts for running errands and casual daywear, Alexis Bledel wore hers to a charity event. Jean skirts are fun and easy for summer and can be paired with almost anything...like maybe a striped tank?

If you have ever had the inner urge to be a Las Vegas showgirl, then now is the time to add a little piece of glitz to your wardrobe. While stars can get away with it on the red carpet, in real life a glitzy mini may not translate well. If you love the look but are hsitant, instead, try a cute glitzy clutch for evening.
