LSPR Staff Style Tips: July All-American Edition

As we cruise into the holiday weekend, the girls of LSPR are celebrating “All-American Style” and the celebs who sport it.  Which of these looks will you be rocking this weekend?  

Life’s a Picnic – Kirsten Dunst in Miu Miu

The checkerboard design instantly conjures memories of apple pie, barbeque and picnics in the park, yet this pattern can often also be found on the runways and red carpets of the world.  Kirsten Dunst scored my favorite gingham moment of the past few years in this Miu Miu frock for an appearance on Jimmy Fallon.  You can test the trend for your next outdoor soiree with this dress from Contrarian’s Spring 13 collection, only $215 (on sale!!) at Social Dress Shop.

Timeless Espadrilles – Emma Roberts in Chanel

Worn by iconic celebrities past and present, espadrilles are a timeless trend to incorporate into your summer wardrobe. Whether high-heeled or flat, you can easily wear these classic shoes with almost any outfit, for example with a breezy summer frock, a pair of cropped pants, or cut-off denim shorts, as Emma Roberts styled her desirable Chanel slip-on espadrilles. I will definitely be pairing my espadrilles with some cut-offs for the rest of this summer!

Flyin’ High – Kate Hudson

What began in the 1930’s as a way to protect pilot’s eyes while flying has turned into a full-blown American fashion icon. Seen on almost all of Hollywood's most stylish stars, aviator sunglasses go with just about everything. I'm digging the way Kate Hudson effortlessly pairs hers with soft waves and a maxi dress. My aviators will definitely be making a cameo this week!

White Hot – Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

All-American denim is taking a turn for the lighter. The weather is heating up and there's no reason why your Fourth of July outfit shouldn't be either. So keep up and brighten your summer look with all-white jeans! I'm taking notes from actress Rosie Huntington-Whiteley rocking her white denim with a matching loose tee and a tan sun hat.

Jazz It Up with a Jean Jacket – Katie Holmes

The double J (Jean Jacket) -- we all have one or if we don't, then we want one. Katie Holmes works it in NYC on her way to lunch, so why can't we? The jean jacket is a classic American staple to add to any outfit and what better day to bust it out than on the Fourth of July?  It's versatile enough to wear with a dress, jeans, shorts, anything! Now, all we have to do is add the white, the red, and we are ready for our night under those fireworks.
