Dolce and Gabbana never disappoints, do they? Certainly not for me, and their spring/summer 2013 ready-to-wear collection is living proof! There’s something so Italian about the retro ’60s shapes they’ve chosen for this collection, including sexy bustiers with wide straps, tea-length dresses with bateau necklines, and fitted waistlines across the board.

Throw in a few fabulous textures like woven wicker, broderie anglais, tassels, (and is that rattan?!), and you’ve got the rich summer-in-Italy vibe that continues on and on in this seriously extensive collection.

Happy Birthday Behati Prinsloo!

Age: 24

Astrological Sign: Taurus

Boyfriend Material: Behati kept musician Adam Levine as her personal arm candy for a year, but they broke up last March.

Coachella: Spotted wearing an atypical Catwoman cap at Coachella, she even stopped to strike a few kitty-cat poses for the cameras!

Style icons that span the ages come to life for Elle Denmark in a fabulous display of fashion trendsetters. Some of our favorite leading ladies like Coco Chanel, Marie Antoinette, Audrey Hepburn, and Frida Kahlo (to name a few!) made the cut for this sensational photo shoot behind the lens of Signe Vilstrup. The lovely featured models did an amazing job of capturing the essence of these iconic personalities, while the fashion dazzles in bright colors and bold contrasts. Who is your style inspiration?
