For everyday, I'm loving these stripe maxi skirts ($19.99) - the blue stripes remind me of a serape blanket - and for the boho babe, this Mossimo lace-inset maxi skirt ($19.99) looks very Free People but at a fraction of the price. I also loved this crochet-trim halter top ($17.99) as a stylish alternative to basic t-shirts that's just as easy to wear.

Spot the Real: Tory Burch Lettuce Ware Serving Bowl

If you are a regular viewer of Antiques Roadshow, today's Spot the Real should be a fun challenge as I've selected two similar yet distinctly unique types of lettuce (or cabbage) serving bowls for a taste-test. Which costs more? The bowl rendered in soft, nuanced colors with a more modern, abstract design? Or the bowl with vivid greens, a shiny glaze, and realistic lettuce-leaf look? To find out which bowl above is by Tory Burch and costs $150, and which bowl costs a mere $12.95, click a link below! Either one would be a cheerful addition to your summer dining table.
