Happy Monday my lovelies! I thought we’d kick off the week with a fun video. I recently had the pleasure of working with Think Thru Fashion editor and The Style Network and MyStyle.com’s resident fashion expert Sydne Summer again on a Quick Switch video (as a model – yipes!). In the video, we demo how to wear printed shorts, a huge trend for summer and one that I’m in love with. I love the first daytime look, where Sydne pairs a striped top with the printed shorts. It feels very French-girl chic to me. You too? If you like the look you’re in luck because everything was a steal at Forever 21 (except for the hat which I picked up at one of those stands in the middle of The Grove mall for $20!).

It was an incredibly fun shoot at the E! studios in LA, where I got to work with Sydne, makeup artists Amber Ayala and Suzi Thompson and the great Style Network crew. I also got to meet a few of the E! News hosts, which was a blast. You can see this video (and more like it) airing on The Style Network (often during my guilty pleasure Jerseylicious) and online here.

Colorblocking is one of the biggest trends for spring and here I pull out my Blue Steel (again) and  help model the trend in a MyStyle.com 3-Way video. Host Sydne Summer of Think Thru Fashion shows how to wear the popular colorblocking trend three different ways: for work, for weekend, and for night (I don the night look). I think it’s a great way to show how you can wear one piece several different ways (and the cute colorblock frock I’m wearing is only $25 at H&M!).  If you want to see a million more ways you can wear this colorblock frock, Sydne shows you how here. What do you think of colorblocking? Is it a trend you will indulge in this spring?

p.s. Speaking of pulling out my Blue Steel, on Monday I participated in an LA fashion blogger “Style Off” at the Westfield Culver City mall. We each styled and modeled four looks, which you’ll be able to vote on soon. More details to come but not only does the winning blogger win a shopping spree, but so does one lucky voter xx!

First a video peek at Kate Spade and Andy Spade’s New York apartment (chic overload) and now a look at their Hampton’s house. Best. Day. Ever. I love the mix of high and low and that there’s even artwork by a third grader gracing the Spades’ walls. What do you think? Do you love it too?

My love for Kate and Andy Spade probably borders on unhealthy, so when I found this video which features a brief snippet of Kate and Andy in their stylish art-filled apartment I nearly swooned. (I’d only ever seen photos of The Spade’s apartment before, well, except for that one night they had me over for cocktails after the opera and I had one too many gimlets and passed out on the couch as Andy read me poetry, so naturally can’t remember a thing, but other than that…

Your secret from Jean-Sebastien Monzani on Vimeo.

It’s been one of those days. Where you have a zillion things to do, not enough hours in the day, your dress makes you look at once anorexic and fat and then your computer crashes (thanks McAfee, you’re just as good as Norton!). So. This made me smile. I hope it does the same for you.
