I'll Have What She's Having: Perfectly cut pieces that always look right... Although she is an Italian native, actress and model Elisa Sednaoui often tends to cut a dynamic swath around the globe in pieces that are sublimely chic however simple enough to let her casual yet sexy nuanced way of wearing looks stand-out. And while she is a natural stunner with ample sex appeal to boot, we tend to look at her unique sartorial choices as a clever cue on how to make more formal pieces seem relaxed and manageable while maintaining the requisite amount of confidence and polish. In fact her sense of style is so spot on and yet subversive enough that we had initially mistaken Sednaoui

Loving the Vintage Vibe at Camilla and Marc’s latest CM Resort Swimwear Collection

Early Marilyn Monroe rocked a high waist 2-piece & so can you! I've been vacating at my Western retreat and have suddenly become fixated with one of my collection of retro Hollywood ski and Western photos that I used in the decoration of our place out here. It's an early photo of Marilyn Monroe on snow skis at the beach. The color-blocking of Marilyn Monroe's swimsuit looks so fresh to me now. Don't think it's the cutesy gimmick of the shot or the technicolor lighting that I'm focused on. It's what Marilyn is wearing that suddenly seems to look so modern and fresh to me. Her color-blocked, high waist 2-piece swimsuit seems so of the moment. And, yes, I'm grooving

Stylish Puffer Coats in Down or Fiber-Fill for Snow Day Chic

Let it snow 'cause you're warm, cozy & chic! My gosh, this holiday blizzard has so many of us scampering for some snow day chic. Just when you thought you had your winter coat situation covered, you realize that cashmere or wool double-breasted really won't do the trick in a blizzard.

Be prepared and look good too! The new breed of down or fiber-filled (better for those with allergies) puffer coats have enough urban style power, like the Mackage
