I'll Have What She's Having: A summer romance with my dry cleaner White is definitely on trend for summer. But I have to admit a slow love to ditch my go-to black beyond white t-shirts, jeans, sneakers, and classic, crisp white shirts (follow the links for style tips). Maybe it was last week in the California sunshine where I lost count on the plethora of white jeans, but these Cannes Do Chic snaps certainly make the case for adding something white to your summer wardrobe. My favorite red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival offers plenty of styling inspiration for every occasion by way of (clockwise) Cate Blanchett in a Giorgio Armani white suit, Chrystele Saint Louis Augustin in a midriff-baring bralette and

I'll Have What She's Having: Red carpet your way style inspiration a la Julia Roberts, Jennifer Aniston and Claire Danes at the S.A.G. Awards It's so easy to dismiss what you see on the red carpet as a fantasy that will never fit into your real life. But, use what you see as an inspirational launch point to punch up your personal style. As I tell the ladies in the C'est Chic Crash Course, the nuance is in the details, so let's get to it! Feminine Spin On A Tuxedo I love a spin on tuxedo dressing as a super feminine way to dress. Yes, menswear on a woman can be very sexy. We saw Emma Stone's tuxedo look last week, and Julia Roberts

Honestly, I couldn't get myself into the Golden Globes fashion this year. There were plenty of pretty reds, a lot of ho-hum, and a good amount of "they look nice but so what." Really, when's the next time you (or I) will be dolled up in a major gown? It's fun for the first few times your have the occassion to wear one. After that, it's too much work (for me). I was looking for a way to make the Golden Globes red carpet relatable to something that makes sense for us. Something you could look marvelous in your life, rather than the fantasy of "watching stars in gowns." I found it in Emma Stone. How fresh does a chic

I'm not always a fan of "big" dresses, and glittery shoes typically look a few seasons back for me. But put it altogether on Marion Cotillard and the result is sublime. Styled by the wrong hands, a plisse pleated dress like this can be overwhelming. But the simplicity and ease of Cotillard's hair, makeup, and confidence make this Dior Haute Couture look stellar. Another lesson learned in that it's not what you wear but how you wear it. More from the best of Cannes Do Chic series to help you get it together with ease.

I'll Have What She's Having: A classic flare dress that looks fresh and modern From our series of the best of Cannes Do Chic to help you get it together with ease... I love a flare dress. Chiara Mastroianni's (daughter of Catherine Deneauve and Marcello Mastroianni) nonchalent edge modernizes her 50's silhouette flare dress from Dior. The cut boasts a certain timeless grown-up sophistication that works so well with both a curvy figure and for those looking to create a curvy figure. But, it can look old if not styled with the right modern sensibilites. [box] Non sequitor little girl trivia time: Truth be told, I had a big childhood crush on Marcello Mastroianni and old Italian movies. If I was a blonde, I wanted
