The winter white trend in action, brown accessories give the polished look an earthy feel.

Recreate her look with a Twenty8Twelve dress, Equipment blouse, Elizabeth and James blazer, Alexander Wang tote, and brown tights and pumps.

Why she’s cool: Nina has successfully mixed prints and patterns by keeping everything in the same color family. She wears camo pants, a striped sweater, and a leopard faux-fur jacket. And she keeps her look low-key with a simple black sneaker.

Blame it on summer love or the season’s heat, but there is no denying that a sweet trend is developing in hair accessories. Once reserved for ladies in tropical locales, girls across the globe are wearing flowers in their hair. I’ve spotted the look in Argentina, Spain, Italy—fashionable women are accessorizing with faux flora, and I have to say, I love the look! It’s simultaneously feminine and confident, and most importantly, looks absolutely adorable.

Last weekend I attended the Festival Internacional de Benicàssim, a music festival in a small beach town in South Spain. The lineup included Oasis, Kings of Leon, Lykke Li, Franz Ferdinand, and The Killers, and between the beach and the bands, it was an awesome event. But the best part, naturally, was the style. There was an eclectic mix of looks from all over Europe with a definite nod to the ’80s. My favorite discovery was how the girls in attendance took the current boyfriend shirt trend to the beach, turning the button-downs into bathing suit cover-ups. It’s a unique way to start wearing a trend that promises to be huge this fall.

A few of my favorite concert-going looks:

Beach to boardwalk in blue button-downs.

BF button-downs make a fashion-forward beach cover-up.

Here, Anne talks about summer whites, inspired by a recent trip to Buenos Aires.

Memorial Day has come and gone and we know what that means: sum-sum-summertime! It’s the beginning of the sundress and sandal season and, of course, prime time to break out all that white clothing that you so dutifully (okay, maybe not) put away after Labor Day. While I’m not big on fashion rules (and frankly I love the idea of white jeans in the winter), I do tend to save my whites until summer rolls around, more for the symbolism that summer is finally here than for the rule-following. So these days, my white sass & bide jeans are my number one denim choice, and white dresses with strappy sandals are my favored look. For inspiration, I’ve been taking my cues from the stylish and hip girls I encountered on my trip to Buenos Aires in January (the middle of their summer!).

Take a look at these all-white angels—they’ll make you want to give your blue jeans and little black dresses a season off.

Great white jeans paired with a casual pastel tee and a killer bag: a flawless summer look. And girls in Buenos Aires love to wear flowers in their hair—so cute!
