I love chambray. It's comfortable, a great summer to fall transition piece, and a staple that every girl needs in her closet. So with fall just around the corner, I thought it would be great to go out and shoot an outfit post that chicisms has long been awaiting. With wind-blown (extremely messy) hair, I chose to end summer with chambray, some gold and pink high-waisted shorts.

Just because summer is coming to a close, doesn't mean your favorite colorful pieces need to hide in your closet. Add a colorful piece to your outfit to make it stand out. Especially when paired with chambray, try to choose something other than denim bottoms.

Accessorize with chambray to make your outfit become more than just a top thrown on and paired with bottoms.

After two years of invite-only registration, Pinterest has now opened up, allowing everyone to slowly begin their addiction.  From delicious recipes that look amazing, do-it-yourself crafts that make you want to bring out your inner Martha Stewart, and fashion looks that you just love, this virtual pinboard let's you create many boards for everything and anything that you want to save for later.

Currently, my boards consist of a wedding planner, fashion looks, nail art ideas, crafts, recipes to try and so many more.

But to pin well, whether you're new to Pinterest or already obsessed, you need to be following great pinners. So to fuel your great Pinterest boards, here are the top 10 pinners you really should be following:

1. Jane Wang: A penguin may be the profile picture of this Pinterest (all the more reason to follow it), but that doesn't mean you'll only find animals. In addition to the fuzzy and not-so-fuzzy creatures, you'll find every kind of board you can think of. I mean it: a DIY wedding board, a board for hats, cupcakes, babies, moms, paper art, easy hacks (for all those things we wish we could've thought of), and a happy board. You won't find more anywhere than you find here. And cool fact - her son is the co-founder of Pinterest.                                                                                                                                                                                                       

It's out!

Lady Gaga is Vogue's cover girl for their record-breaking September issue at 916 pages.

Gaga made all her fans on twitter go "gaga" as she left them waiting for the ball to drop when Gaga leaked this cover of Vogue on her fan site. "SHH DONT TELL TWITTER/SEPT ISSUE OF VOGUE MAGAZINE/Sorry Anna but the underground kids deserve it. bisous!" She spilled next to the photo.

Her second time on the cover of Vogue, Gaga looks amazing in this Marc Jacobs mermaid gown but the platinum afro is questionable. However, it is Lady Gaga and we wouldn't know her without her one-of-a-kind outfits - hair included.

What do you think of Vogue's choice of a September cover girl and her look?

 

Like any girl during the summer, I enjoy showing off my toes in sandals and flip flops. But sometimes your feet need a break from the exposure and that's when espadrilles come in handy.

I picked up a pair of Soludos a few weeks ago and I absolutely love them. They're simple, comfortable, and come in a great range of colors and patterns.

Founded just 2 years ago during a New York summer, the idea of Soludos came alive when Nick Brown couldn't find the espadrilles he had grown up wearing in Spain. Keeping his Spanish heritage in mind while designing the shoe, "Saludos," Spanish for "Cheers" and "Sol," meaning "Sun," were combined to create "Soludos."

Let me begin this post by saying that Aria's peplum dress she wore in the beginning of the episode looked fabulous on her. That is one outfit choice of hers that I completely approve of.

And now for the recap/breakdown after the jump.
