On Trend: Relaxed Striped Tees

Lately I've been seeing lots of relaxed-fit, striped tops in stores, magazines, and on celebs (okay to be honest I had to google search the celebs part, the only star stalking I do is on gofugyourself).

Although I was a bit apprehensive to buy anything in the vein of this trend as A) The stripes made me nervous, as they can be tricky when you're trying to flatter your shape and B) I wasn't sure if I'd like the supremely loose fit.

However, I found this one for $15 at Forever21 and loved the roll-tab sleeves, big pocket, and fun color. Plus it is DAMN COMFY and easy to pair with accessories- I call this the "wanna-be-grunge-hipster-art-teacher" look.

Here's some more ideas!

P.S. Also, can we just take a moment to appreciate how fing funny Claire was in the below post? I was literally in tears, and not from the depressing Human Diversity paper on privilege and social systems I was writing.

Sienna Miller Poses for Piaget

Jewelry hounds, let's forget about our dreary lives for a moment shall we and enter the delightful dream scape that is actress Sienna Miller's day-to-day.

She's a glamorous movie star (with the bank account to match). She's dating the hunky Jude Law. Again. She's got that 'skinny without trying' thing going for her. And now? She has her pick of Piaget Possession jewelry as their new spokesmodel.

You can go ahead now and:

a) roll your eyes
b) do your best 'vomit in your mouth' impression
c) spontaneously start those double chin exercises
d) all of the above

To commemorate 20 years of their popular Possession Collection, Piaget picked the scrumptious Sienna to star in a series of iconic photographs wearing the classic jewels. Leaving no stone unturned, they assembled an A-list team of fashion industry professionals for a major photo shoot at Hudson Studios in New York, including legendary photographer, Raymond Meier, and renowned stylist and regular Vogue contributor, Elissa Santisi.

The first photo in the series is displayed above with two more to follow in the coming months, according to a press release, so stay tuned.

Or just put on your bathrobe, open up a pint of New York Super Fudge Chunk and call it good.
