Lately we’ve been seeing a lot of plaid shirts around – on people and at retail. It’s kind of unexpected – you know, plaid seems very L.L. Bean or farmer… but somehow it’s making a very cool comeback with the fashionable.
Charlize is wearing hers with skinny black jeans and some fabulous heels:
Lauren is also wearing skinny jeans, some platform heels, a giant bag and a gorgeous David Yurman ring:
Chances are you have a few pairs of skinny jeans and plenty of cool shoes, so all you need to get the look is a plaid shirt!
Here are a few of good options:
Banana Republic 3/4 Sleeve Boyfriend Shirt, $59.50.
Vince Supersoft Plaid Shirt, $245 at Bloomingdale’s
J. Crew Sconset Plaid Shirt, $69.50

Sara Jessica Parker was spotted running errands in New York in a very low key ensemble highlighted by the Louis Vuitton Leopard Print Scarf. The print was created for Vuitton by the late Stephen Sprouse.
The scarf is amazingly still available! (it seems the Sprouse rose print sold out almost immediately)
The scarf is a cashmere/silk blend. It is a very large size of aprox. 51 x 79 inches. It is $715. Here is the link for purchasing. The Vuitton site doesn’t allow direct linking to products, so when you go to the site you can enter “leopard stole” into the search box to bring you to the product listing.
For those of us who cannot afford the Vuitton version (boo hoo hoo), there are some other options… and much more reasonably priced!
Here’s one from Harmony Lane, Leopard Fringe Scarf, $35. It is 100% cotton.
This one is super cute, because it is printed with leopard and cherries! It’s Galliano… but it’s sort of Vuitton-esque because it combines the leopard and cherries (they did the Murakami cherries). It is 100% silk and is $135 at Zappos Couture.

Blue Nile now has some necklaces that look very much like Tiffany’s classic Elsa Peretti Diamonds by the Yard necklaces. The stones aren’t quite as good quality, but they’re much less expensive…
Here is Blue Nile’s 2 carat t.w. 18-inch long necklace in 18k yellow gold. It is $3,850.
To compare, a similar 1.54 carat t.w. necklace also in 18k gold but with a 16″ chain from Tiffany is $6,300. A 2.70 carat t.w. version is $13,000. Tiffany does not do theirs in white gold, you have to go to platinum. The 1.54 carat t.w. in platinum is $6,900 and the 2.70 carat t.w. in platinum is $15,000. True, we are not comparing apples to apples. The stones Blue Nile uses are clarity SI2 and color grade H – I, whereas Tiffany uses a higher quality stone of clarity VS and same color grade of H – I.
If you want white gold at Blue Nile, they have it also in 18k. They offer the white gold version in 1 carat, 2 carat and 3 carat versions available for $1,950, $3,850 and $5,700 respectively.

I wouldn’t say that I’m a fan per se of Kim Kardashian, I’ve never watched the show she’s on… but I do really like this outfit! And I think it’s an outfit nearly anyone can wear and look great in. So classic – a white tee, boyfriend jacket and torn up jeans – and for adding a twist to the classic – the lace up Christian Louboutin sandals.
The particular sandals she’s wearing are sold out. If you want to stay with Louboutins, these have a similar look: Christian Louboutin Pique 140 Sandals, $995
Another option are these Tory Burch Roslun Lace Up Sandals, $425. The lace up style is more similar to the ones Kim is wearing – and they’re half the price!
For the jacket, the key is to get one with nice lining inside the sleeves so you can roll them up for a more casual look. J. Crew has an option that’s even on sale right now. Boyfriend Blazer, regular price $215, sale $175.
For the denim, of course there are tons of choices, the best is probably already in your closet. But if you don’ t have any torn jeans yet, here are a couple of good options.
J. Crew Vintage Slim Jeans, regular price $98, sale $78.
I also love AG brand for distressed jeans. I definitely recommend trying them on a store though, the sizing across the different cuts can be quite different. Here’s an option Tomboy Boyfriend-Fit Jeans in 25 year destroyed wash, $305.
The tee is the easiest part. Again, you probably have several in your closet already. Hers has a somewhat low scoop neck. A Petit Bateau Light Fine Rib Tank, $39 or Spendid ($40) or James Perse ($45) tank would work well too.
