Runway to Street

It's not so difficult to resist wearing white before Memorial Day, when yellow and black are such simple and chic substitutes. This look from Elie Saab is easy to recreate, and is the perfect way to embrace summer, without overcommitting to it.

This look from Etro is for the girl, whom I like to call Urban Bohemian; artistic and romantic, but also driven and practical. There are certainly many of these types on Princeton's campus, and though this look is a little expensive to emulate, the bold statement it makes is well worth the price.

Though I thought Princeton had exhausted my tolerance for orange, Hermes has managed to spice it up again, using purple as an accent color. I love this Spring look; not only is it comfortable, but it is also extremely versatile-perfect for either a picnic or a night out.
