Whether you refer to them as play suits, rompers, onsies, or jumpers, one thing is clear - these sexy shorts are a chic and so-effortless way to get dressed this summer.
A knit one-piece is insanely easy for running errands or a casual lunch. This one has a sweet little halter neckline that ties in the front.
The Antik Batik version is absolutely a summer vacation staple! Pairs perfectly with flat sandals and glamorous sunglasses for sightseeing and sunning.
Diane von Furstenberg's design mixes ultra-luxe hammered silk with a playfully bold print and super-sporty racerback.
This version from Elizabeth & James is quite possibly the season's sexiest, thanks to a seductively deep neck-to-waist slit in the back!

Bliss World
The past ten days have been a little more than hectic for me - art directing a two-day photo shoot, attending a memorial service, and hosting a 40+ guest-bridal shower for my dearest friend. I'm yearning for a bit of pampering but am a little too exhausted to even leave the house. And I may not have to thanks to this ad from Bliss Cosmetics:Take the ‘spa’ into your own hands at blissworld.com
Intriguing! So I can get the same glow-inducing facial
products that I'd find at a Bliss Spa without leaving the comforts of my own little nook - perfect! I'm after the Bliss Triple Oxygen Take Home Trio (above left) for its calming effects and super-cleansing-yet-non-drying formula. The kit comes with Bliss Cosmetics bestselling Clog-Dissolving Cleansing Milk, Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Mask, and Sleeping Peel Resurfacing Gel.I'm also going to pick up Bliss Tempt Feet (right) to soothe and soften my tired feet - the Foot Patrol AHA exfoliating and softening cream combined with the Diamancel #11 Tough Buffer turn cracked heels and dry feet silky and feather soft!
Spaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!

Hip Hop and Hardware: LL Cool J for Sears
He's something like a Phenomenon in the rap game, been Doin' It well for quite some time actually. So what's next on the plate of hip hopper LL Cool J? An apparel line at Sears?! Sounds odd, but Mama Said Knock You Out, it's the truth!In an attempt to reenergize their apparel 
sales, Sears has signed 40 year-old rapper LL Cool J to do a clothing line. Not exactly the obvious choice to reinvent and refresh an apparel business, but who knows? LL claims he's got plenty of experience when it comes to women's apparel. "I was raised by a matriarch," the rapper told WWD. "[And] I have a wife and three daughters, so I know what women are looking for when they shop for clothes." Let's hope so, Cool J, let's hope so.
The collection is called (what else) LL Cool J for Sears, and features casual wear for juniors, young men's, girls, and boys. Look for the label this September, just in time for back to school. Expect prices to range from $22 for a graphic tee to $50 for a pair of jeans. LL Cool J for Sears will be available in 450 of Sears' 900 stores.

Hawks by Geren Ford
There is nothing a shopaholic loves more than a bargain, so naturally we're rejoicing over Hawks by Geren Ford, a line created by Los Angeles designer Geren Lockhart exclusively for Urban Outfitters.I first heard about the collection in Nylon magazine and, knowing how lovely 
her own line is, have been impatiently waiting ever since. I'm mad for the Sailor Shorts (above left)--they've got the most adorable sailor buttons, wide legs, and they're only $58, and the Colorblock Top (right), with its drawstring detail on the sleeves and modest price tag of $78.

Shades of Gray
From lovely little frocks, perfect for the summertime weddings and garden parties, to sexy skinny jeans to bold, statement-making jewelry, gray is suddenly the most fetching color of the season!
A shoe that is the must-get style and color of the season - smart! And at less than seventy bucks the price of these Asos Leather Flat Gladiator Sandals ($65) is so right!
This Lee Angel Jewel Marbelized Ring ($60) is beyond chic, combining rock-hard, marble resin with colorful stones set in goldtone.
Classic 1940s femininity meets modern edge in these Moschino Cheap and Chic Linen T-Strap Sandals ($524) -- pair with a flouncy blouse tucked into high-waisted short shorts.
The appealingly inexpensive Chiffon Shift Dress ($36) from Twelve by Twelve works for a night of martinis with the girls or an afternoon wedding in the park.
Casual, go-anywhere shorts are a definite summertime staple and these Belted Shorts ($39.50) from Gap are affordable and cute.
These impossible-to-miss Nuria Slim-Fit Jeans from Cambio ($275) come in the most desirable silhouette and color of the season, but be warned: you will turn heads!

Love the Look - Beyonce
I love the casual-cool look of Mrs. Carter's cropped Chanel jacket and pin, layered necklaces, wide-leg trou, and knit cap. It's all-at-once effortless and polished.
