This season’s floaty and feminine maxi dresses are proving to be my new favorite trend for summer. I’ve discovered that it’s a really nice change to head out to dinner without worrying about sitting uncomfortably in skinny jeans after a big meal. As the lovely Eva Longoria demonstrates, a fabulous maxi is so easy to wear, and somehow manages to make an airport arrival seem uber-glamorous. I’m just not sure which accessory I’m craving more- her pillow or that great yellow bag!…hmmmm.

Since it’s officially, unofficially SATC day, I’m gonna let you all gorge yourselves on shoes. LOL. I’m so diggin’ this leopard print trend on summer sandals and pumps. As you can see it works well with both white and black trimming.

I don’ think I’m digging this “look” very much. Knee-hi socks with ballet flats!? I would have preferred to see a saddle shoe or Mary Jane inspired pump with funky leggings.

Ever since Broadway Joe Namath donned a pair of pantyhose for Hanes in the ’70′s, pro jocks have been touting their femme sides in order to land fashion endorsements and supermodels — remember Tom Brady’s dalliance with Calvin Klein? But the news that New York Ranger Sean Avery will spend the summer interning at Vogue in order to persue his dream of becoming a fashion editor is so out-of-bounds, it can only be true. Good luck, hoser. Midwinter in Moosejaw is a skate in the park compared to the deep freeze of a Conde Nast intern’s cubby. You’re gonna need all the turtle-necks and Spanx you can get your mitts on to get through this summer.

In the spirit of Sex and the City hitting theaters today, I have to ask: what’s your shoe personality? Mine is a toss up between these classic and chic Jimmy Choo’s (very Charlotte, no?) and these sexy, cabaret inspired pumps by Christian Louboutin, which scream Samantha to me.

I’m still on a high from the amazing spring soirée the lovely designers at Duchess suits recently threw for their loyal friends and customers in Portland. The amazing clothiers of vintage-style, made-to-measure menswear are absolute artists when it comes to resurrecting the near-lost craft of custom-made suits. Seeing the normally scrappy population of Portland hipster-dudes dressed to the nines made me at once wistful for yesteryear, but also grateful that I live in a town where this brand of throwback-glamour not only exists, but is celebrated as art. Gents, you need not fret if you’re outside the 503 area code: A white summer suit jacket and blue cotton button-up shirt will do quite nicely for that upcoming wedding.

I can honestly say I do love a ponytail, but I think, after a certain age, the actual ponytail holders must be a bit more sophisticated then what I captured here. Your thoughts?
