Can you imagine a place where everyone is so well dressed? Brights for summer paired with glamourous heels -- chic.

Chloé.

I am so impressed by the presentation of Chloé's Resort 2012 collection as shown on Vogue.com. It's runway fashion worn by runway models, but shown on the streets. Take a look:

This type of presentation not only brings life to the clothes and accessories, but it also shows viewers that the clothes are wearable and accessible - brilliant. 

Street fashion style blogs such as Streetfsn by Nam and Jak and Jil show "real people" wearing the fashions from the runways in "real places."

I confess, throwing my hair into a bun was my go-to I'm-having-a-particularly-bad-hair-day hairstyle. It was easy -- great for class, the beach, eating... I didn't think about it and a mirror was not required to achieve the "easy" look. One day, a close friend complimented, "I really like your ballerina bun. It's chic." This was the first time I really thought about my bun as a fashion statement. Now ballerina buns, messy bedhair buns, and top knots are showing up in all sorts of fashion editorials and on the streets. 

The consensus: Be conscious of your bun! ~
