While flipping through the August issue of People StyleWatch, I came across an ad showing a very svelte Sarah Jessica Parker modeling some curve-hugging Jordache jeans. I'd like to say I owned Jordache jeans back in the eighties when the brand was at its peak but I never really had any of the cool stuff. ("What's wrong with this imitation Cabbage Patch doll? It's just as good as the real thing!" my parents would say). But of course I'm familiar with the once iconic denim brand, with it's wild horse logo. The question is: Can SJP make Jordache cool again?

Every day that goes by is another day closer to the end of summer. This can be a good or bad thing, depending on how you feel about your summer wardrobe (I feel like I'm wearing everything on repeat) and how excited you are to start wearing the new fall trends. Either way, it's never too early to think about ways to stretch your summer clothes a little bit further into the season.

Time and time again we see celebs and other stylish folk wearing the simplest basics made special with (say it with me) standout accessories! Kendall Jenner is no exception, rocking a simple white blouse and skinny jeans with cap-toe espadrille flats and a Celine colorblock mini satchel. Just make sure you're wearing fashion tape if you choose to let your blouse plunge low and open so that another set of, erm, accessories doesn't steal the show.

Lace up flats are so chic for summer when you want a sandal alternative that still feels airy and interesting. Enter Stuart Weitzman's 'Gilligan' flats, in red, black or haze ($385, stuartweitzman.com). See how Jane Aldrige of Sea of Shoes, the ultimate authority on all things shoes (and fashion in general), is wearing her pair here. Oh, yes, you'll be taking loads of Instagram shoe shots with these beauties on your feet! But if you want to stay on budget, we've found a fabulous alternative that's a more reasonable $95. Act fast, these flats are already sold out at Nordstrom.com (you might have luck in stores - plus you'll want to check out the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, pre-sale going on now for cardholders, regular sale starts Friday!) Now, on to the guessing game - see if you can spot the real pair by clicking a link below!

Wearing summer leather is a huge trend this season. The key to wearing leather in summer is choosing a shape that falls a bit away from the body, giving your skin plenty of room to breathe. And you have to be savvy about what you pair it with.
