Appearing at Rue La La: Elle Editor’s Selection

For summer 2010, it’s all about effortless basics. Well, get ready for a style lesson from one our our favorite style mavens! ELLE’s Executive Accessories Editor, Kate Davidson Hudson has curated a special Boutique for Rue La La featuring simple separates and the perfect accessories to help update your wardrobe and express your own person style.

A few of Kate Davidson Hudson’s faves to look out for:
· “Channel your inner Parisian with stripes on a big floppy beach hat”

· “Textures in black and nude work as neutrals – I love this exaggerated ikat”

· “Go for a head wrap at the beach and a breezy scarf for a day of shopping”
· “Platforms sandals dress up everyday shorts and a T”

· “A two-finger ring imparts rocker edge – and is a chic counterpoint to a more ladylike piece

Proenza Schouler Resort 2011

Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough have done it again…I am absolutely obsessed with the Proenza Schouler Resort 2011 collection. I wasn’t in love with many resort collections for ’11. I liked a few pieces here and there but there weren’t many collections that I longed for…until I came across this one.

According to style.com, “it was inspired by a vacation the duo [Hernandez and McCollough] took to India—felt utterly urban and, yes, completely in tune with the way cool girls are dressing so far this summer.” They said it best…it’s what the cool girls are wearing 🙂

Here are some of my favorite pieces from the collection:

I think what made this collection look so amazing is the way each look was styled. Obviously each piece on its own is amazing, but it’s the overall look that really drew me to this collection. I’m also a complete sucker for metallics…which is a common theme throughout this collection.

What do you think of Proenza Schouler’s Resort 2011 collection? What were your favorite resort collections for ’11? I want to hear from you!

Currently Channeling: Margherita Missoni

In honor of my latest purchase, a vintage Missoni dress, I wanted to dedicate a blog post to the heiress and face of the brand, Margherita Missoni (who also happens to be one of my style icons). Not only is she absolutely gorgeous, but she can pull off just about anything and everything she wears. Only Margherita could wear a floor-length dress and her signature Missoni headband (sporting it “hippie-style” of course) to a black-tie event…and get away with it. She has such a sweet and refreshing face that I just can’t help but think, “why aren’t we friends yet Margherita?”

Some of my favorite Margherita Missoni moments:

Spotlight: Hanneli Mustaparta

I came across Hanneli’s blog while looking for fashion photography. I absolutely fell in love with her site right away. Her photos are simple and sweet yet very stylish. When I clicked the “About” section, I found out she’s a model and styles fashion stories and music videos…and to top that off, she’s an MTV VJ in Norway. So basically, I love Hanneli. You are awesome.

One of my favorite parts about her blog…almost every photo is taken by Hanneli herself. Model, stylist, MTV VJ, AND fashion photographer? Is there anything you can’t do Hanneli?

Here are some of my favorite photos from Hanneli:
