Oh, look who’s sporting the dress of the season: Nicky Hilton! The striped sensation is causing a wardrobe stir in the celeb world, it wouldn’t surprise me to know that everyone has a striped mini dress in the closet!

Do you? I missed on that trend this season, to be honest. I’m more of a classic – styled and I favor the mariniere – type of striped clothing – it doesn’t go out of style and time. Do you think this dress will still be fashionable next year?

Its almost the end of July and for millions of college students nationwide that means one thing. No, not the endless nights of drinking and partying mind you, although it is always welcomed after the doldrums of summer, but rather its time to start shopping for your back to school supplies!

A couple of weeks ago, I stood at the edge of the Olympic Park in Hackney Wick with the new stadium in clear sight for the very first time. It was the designer Christopher Raeburn, who took me on a little detour through the canals and newly built greenways before we entered his nearby studio.

Im not particularly good when it comes to predicting HOT TRENDS namely because these things tend to only come back and bite me later on. Having been around the show circuits for a few years and witnessing the mass of streetstyle evidence that ensues afterwards, I think its fairly safe to say that after last seasons Prada brogue/espadrille hybrids, pops of Jil Sander and neon Cambridge Co. satchels, these Givenchy VG 782 glasses, will follow the same trajectory of those hot trot items gone before.
