Love It or Leave It: Wrap Chiffon Blouse

Bisou Bisou tie neck 2fer top, $36.00

Lux daydream blouse, $68.00

Are you feeling these flouncy wrap blouses? Not sure how we feel about the one on the left from JCPenney (the tie around the neck might be too much), but the pink top from Urban Outfitters on the right is kind of cute. Could be a comfortable option for a night out. What do you think? Love it or leave it?

Things That Make You Go "Hmmmm"...

What: Rouched Front Strapless Romper, ArdenB.com, $98.00

Question: How would you wear this? Where would you wear this? Hmmmm...perhaps paired with 1) dark tights, t-strap heels and an oversized-knit cardigan; 2) dark tights, ankle boots and a cropped jacket; 3) 3/4-length sleeve blouse in some airy fabric and flat sandals.

If you wear it solo, there had better be a hammock or palm trees in the vicinity. Appropriate for parties poolside and/or under the stars—and not really anywhere else.

Would you rock this romper?

Jazz Flats Arrive at Urban

They're heeee-eeere...

We warned you about those fugly lace-up flats that top designers such as Christian Louboutin, Marc Jacobs, Anna Sui and Jill Sander are unveiling for fall—and now, we regret to inform you, they've arrived at Urban Outfitters.

Sure, we know people who could pull these off, but those people are special. Much more special than we will ever be. So no. No, we will not let these shoes touch our toes.

We advise you do the same...or, if you think you can rock this look, send us a pic and prove it! (We won't hold our breath.)
