A Perfect Pair: The White Shirt & Midi Skirt
No longer into shorts? I get it. Bermudas are too long and I no longer feel comfortable in shorts. But it’s summer, and I want to look great and stay cool at the same time. So here is an on trend pairing I LOVE: a crisp white cotton shirt (usually a button down) with a patterned midi skirt. It’s so easy and looks amazing at any age. If you get too hot in long sleeves (even rolled up) then try a short-sleeve or sleeveless version. Add your favorite pointy-toe flats, sandals or even sneakers and you are off and running. For the entire day.

How Could Bill Cunningham Die? I Thought He Was Immortal.
Fashion really is dead in New York. While fashion industry insiders continue to debate the slow death knell of New York Fashion Week – now it is officially over for me. I was and am still in total shock photographer Bill Cunningham passed away this past Saturday. OK, he was 87 but I honestly thought he was immortal and would live forever. In case you don’t know who he was, Mr. Cunningham was the original street style photographer in New York City. This stick figure of a man rode around the streets of NYC on a bike in his trademark French blue jacket and khakis with his 35-millimeter camera draped around his neck where he observed and chronicled street fashion and ever changing trends for nearly 40 years for The New York Times.

Summer Must-Have Trend: White Skinny Jeans Under $100
In case you have not noticed, white skinny jeans are the jeans to rock this summer. It doesn’t matter if you wear them long or just above the ankle (avoid cropped which just make your legs look short) – so long as they are white. Now since we are talking about white jeans I personally think it’s foolish to spend a lot of money on denim that you’ll be lucky to get through one summer not ruining. So I have done my research and located some pairs of white denim that all come in at under $100!
