It seems hard to do, but for the past few seasons, Tory Burch just keeps out doing herself. It is definitely unanimous that her collections are for everyone, veering on the line between classic and on-trend. Although we do love our blood orange Reva Jelly Flats, we’re glad to see more footwear variety and can’t wait to get our hands on the bags, or jewelry designed by Justin Giunta!

Back in my college days, when wearing my newest pair of Victoria’s Secret lounge pants was the height of my dressiness on any given morning, I’m sure I made a few sleep-deprived statements about how sweatpants would eventually become the new slacks. But does that mean I actually thought it would happen? Not a chance! So imagine my surprise when I began recently flipping through fall catalogs and spotting sweatpants disguising themselves as trendy cropped trousers — and actually succeeding!
I don’t know whose idea it was, but sweatpants are suddenly passing as acceptable dress pants. Pair them with a blouse, tailored blazer and a pair of pumps and you’re ready for work (what?!), or throw on a sequined tank and some lace-up booties and you’re ready to hit the club (less shocking, but still — what?!). While my inner lazy college kid is practically salivating at the idea, and I’ve seen plenty of ultra-chic examples of the look (after all, they don’t look sloppy when done right), I still don’t think I’d have the guts to pull off such a frowned-upon fabric in a dressy situation. What do you think; am I too old-fashioned, or am I right to be skeptical of sweatpants-turned-slacks?

For her vibrant “military gone native” Spring/Summer 2011 presentation, Mara Hoffman created an island scene viewed through a kaleidoscope lens with models assembled among palm trees and clad in tribal printed garments. Inspired by Hoffman’s own personal style, the collection featured flowing maxi dresses, fringed and crocheted
blouses, and an array of army green pieces paired with fedoras and colorful chunky beads. We lusted over a pair of teal leggings with a psychedelic black and pink pattern that are sure to garner the attention of anyone passing by.
