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

So what's new this week at Life & Style magazine? Check out their front page for all the greatest gossip on baby news (is Nicole pregs or not? I'm skeptical...). Anywho, the hottest trend this week amongst celebs has to be light and airy sun dresses. Whether they are short and sweet or superlong, this is THE staple for the season. I don't know about Gwen Stefani's school girl ensemble though...it's a little too dark and covered up for summer, don'tcha think?


Leave it to SJP to turn a simple pair of jeans and a t-shirt into a chic summer ensemble! The former Carrie Bradshaw just added a pair of yellow heels and a bright pink tote to her casual look and VOILA!...instant style. I'm so jealous. Life & Style shows you how you can add some effortless color to your summer look with these bright combos. Best of all, these trends won't break your bank (that yellow tunic from H&M only costs $25!!!)


I can't believe my eyes...flip flops are in style! Well, this isn't such a surprise really with the summer months upon us, but it's nice to see this casual look get many trendy makeovers. Whether you want a luxe pair to wear with a breezy sun dress or just a casual pair for the beach, Life & Style tells you where to get the best selling pairs this summer.


Who wears it best? Life & Style poses the question to you...and it's not an easy task. These four looks are super trendy and Life & Style readers choose their favorites, so now you can too! While I think that all of these celebs pulled these looks off way better than I ever could, some did it better than others...I simply love the BCBG dress worn by Shaun Robinson and Sophia Bush...so cute! Keep checking in with Life & Style magazine for all the latest and greatest information about your favorite celebs, fashion and more!

The Black and White Stripes, Couture in the City Fashion Blog

Stars are simply eating up the black and white stripe trend. While I prefer my stripes to be a little more subtle, everyone from Nelly Furtado to Lindsay Lohan and Gwen Stefani are strutting their stuff, referee style.

Out of all three of these ensembles, I think that I love Nelly Furtado's geometrical tube dress the best. Bold stripes like these are usually hard to pull off (for example, if you don't have a rockin' bod like Gwen Stefani, her single sleeve striped dress wouldn't be so flattering). Nelly's tube dress is bold, but not over the top and would be fun to wear on a Saturday night. While I'm also not too crazy about Lindsay Lohan's belly baring sequined stripe top, I think that if you are going to do this trend, a top is the way to do it.

If you want to go for an edgy black and white stripe look, then try the Rock the Mic top from Kahri. Cute with skinny jeans and flats or a pencil skirt and stiletto's, this is the perfect way to marry Gwen Stefani quirk with trendy fashion.

What do you think about the black and white stripe trend? Is it too much on a formal dress, or too cute?
