White out
Summer is the most difficult time of year to get dressed. It's hot, it's humid, and comfort is top priority. Let's be honest, Scott Schuman would not want to photograph us in our tank top and flip flops ensemble. So how do we make ourselves presentable? Cristina from Fuji Files here with your sartorial survival guide to hot summer days.
White is the coolest of colors for summer, literally! The color white reflects sunlight and heat more than any other color, making it your best option for keeping cool. But if the thought of an entirely white outfit is slightly terrifying (it certainly is for me!) then mix in some creams and nudes.
The key to this look is keeping it light and airy, not too structured. A loose collared shirt is an easy breezy choice for summer, pair it with textured shorts or skirt in a neutral shade and you've got instant style. Add a few accessories such as cute sandals and a tote, and you're done! An easy summer ensemble that is both cool and stylish.

Borrow your Boyfriens's Closet & Peronalize it
You heard correctly. If you are feeling the urge for some men's tailoring, not only on men, but on yourself, check out what men do and change it a bit. There are moments in which we would love to be masculine and drag look around with us. Just never thought about having it done properly. No more borrowing: men's tailoring is now accessible for women as well. The jackets, the suits, the brogues, the hats, what more? You most masculine flair. Fall Winter 2012 is about picking your side of the court or mixing the fields. We know women always say they have nothing to wear, well, we just thought extending their wardrobe choices to that of men might just work out perfectly. Here we go...
Make the sequins count and tiger prints loud. How to wear a man's suit with feminine appeal. Wild.
Cute short men short suit jackets and pants, mixing materials such as velvet and brocade. Velvet lapels are a must. My Lord.
Take the coat from a guy with very large shoulders and make it your own tune. Classic overcoats turn to disguise.

Zimmermann's Fall 2011 lookbook - bohemain chic
Oooh, how bittersweet it is. It seems like yesterday we were drooling over Aussie brand Zimmermann's swim 2011 lookbook; now it's time to drool anew at Zimmermann's Fall 2011 lookbook. Modeled by Missy Rayder, the lookbook references easy '70s bohemian chic via flowy dresses and skirts, and channels the brand's own classic blend of sweet and provocative. Zimmermann always has that special piece, and we particularly love the soft florals and fringe skirt.

Kate Middleton's wedding dress goes on show at Buckingham Palace in pictures
Prince William gets a first look at his bride in her stunning gown.
Middleton chose British brand Alexander McQueen for the beauty of its craftsmanship and its respect for traditional workmanship and the technical construction of clothing. Kate wished for her dress to combine tradition and modernity with the artistic vision that characterises Alexander McQueen's work. She worked closely with the label's creative director Sarah Burton in formulating the design of her dress.
The lace appliqué for the bodice and skirt was hand-made by the Royal School of Needlework, based at Hampton Court Palace. The lace design was hand-engineered (appliquéd) using the Carrickmacross lace-making technique, which originated in Ireland in the 1820s. Individual flowers were hand-cut from lace and hand-engineered onto ivory silk tulle to create a unique and organic design, which incorporates the rose, thistle, daffodil and shamrock.
Hand-cut English lace and French Chantilly lace has been used throughout the bodice and skirt, and has been used for the underskirt trim. With laces coming from different sources, much care was taken to ensure that each flower was the same colour. The whole process was overseen and put together by hand by Ms Burton and her team.
The veil was made of layers of soft, ivory silk tulle with a trim of hand-embroidered flowers, which were embroidered by the Royal School of Needlework (RSN), based at Hampton Court Palace, assisted by the Alexander McQueen team. Delicate motifs were cut from the lace fabrics and positioned with precision into the new design. The lace motifs were pinned, 'framed up' and applied with stab stitching every two to three millimetres around each lace motif. The workers washed their hands every thirty minutes to keep the lace and threads pristine, and the needles were renewed every three hours, to keep them sharp and clean.
The veil is held in place by a Cartier 'halo' tiara, lent to the Duchess by The Queen. The 'halo' tiara was made by Cartier in 1936 and was purchased by The Duke of York (later King George VI) for his Duchess (later Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother) three weeks before he succeeded his brother as King. The tiara was presented to Princess Elizabeth (now The Queen) by her mother on the occasion of her 18th birthday.
The dress is made of ivory and white satin gazar. The skirt echoes an opening flower, with white satin gazar arches and pleats. The train measures two metres 70 centimetres. The ivory satin bodice, which is narrowed at the waist and padded at the hips, draws on the Victorian tradition of corsetry and is a hallmark of Alexander McQueen's designs. The back is finished with 58 gazar and organza covered buttons fastened by Rouleau loops. The underskirt is made of silk tulle trimmed with Cluny lace.

The tiara was presented to Princess Elizabeth (now The Queen) by her mother on the occasion of her 18th birthday.
On making the dress, Sarah Burton said: "It has been the experience of a lifetime to work with Catherine Middleton to create her wedding dress, and I have enjoyed every moment of it. It was such an incredible honour to be asked, and I am so proud of what we and the Alexander McQueen team have created. I am delighted that the dress represents the best of British craftsmanship. Alexander McQueen's designs are all about bringing contrasts together to create startling and beautiful clothes and I hope that by marrying traditional fabrics and lacework, with a modern structure and design we have created a beautiful dress for Catherine on her wedding day."
